TORA Avon Tyres British GT Championship: General Discussion

GT3? I've seen a GT4 a number of times. They also come over from the GT4 European series.

Ah I'm not awake. I thought he meant the GT4 lol. Was thinking the hell!? There was one in it last year lol. Na the GT2 M3 hasn't run in British GT

How will the series be set up regarding night racing and weather?

OH OH I can answer this one!

"With regarding the weather settings, TORA will announce 24 hours prior to each race meeting what the forecast will be.
The data will be based on a forecast sourced for the real world venue from Accuweather.com"

So basically, it will be raining every single round

Ok so how does car choice/livery choice/number choice work exactly

So my number is 44 here. Does that mean I'm limited to the one car that has the number 44, so if I wanted to pick a car that doesn't have #44 but has #43 for instance, could I pick that car?

and for teams, does everybody on my team have to run the #44 or the same livery that is associated with the car that has #44?

I only ask, as its not really clear

I can already guess the weather for Spa, Clear -> Heavy Rain -> Clear -> Heavy Rain with the weather progression turned up to x60

Race number is irrelevant to what you run on the car. Pick whatever you like, I'm assuming it's more of a forum based thing for PCars

oh. ok

cheers hayden

What Hayden said

You would enter 44 into the TORA number box so that we can lookup your gamertag from the race number sheet.

You would then pick whatever number you like for your car and make sure that if your in a team your other team member uses the same car number.

Hope that makes sense

Can someone answer?

Ultimately, yes. There will be a break between Qualy and the race.

If people are on around 1930 each race meeting the lobby hosts will be hoping to have the lobby open for an initial practice session prior to qualy.

Then the gap for lobby set up then the race

Essentially, no.

Because there aren't enough numbers to match the TORA numbers for this your TORA number is kind of irrelevant outside of the standings etc identification.
The limitation is the number of liveries available for each car. Only ONE livery per team. So each driver in a team will run the same livery.

So step 1: Check the car/livery availability

Step 2: Enter your team

Hope that helps

What is the "Media Day" on the 24th?

A chance for everyone to get familiar with everything, from lobby settings, to well everything

Essentially it's an official test session before the star of the season.
It's also an opportunity for teams to get some 'official' photos and to see how they stack up against the opposition.
The TORA Radio guys will also be on hand to interview drivers and teams through Skype on the night and get their thoughts ahead of the first round a week later
It's good fun.

Matt a quick question, shouldn't the media day be at Donnington Park, just like real life?

Has anyone tested running the GT4's with semi decent tunes to see if they are balanced?

So far myself and Hayden have run all the GT4's around Zolder untuned and the Aston is doing 1:40's whereas everything else is doing 1:42's.

Just wondering whether this is just because the cars are untuned, the Aston just favours Zolder or whether the Aston is just going to dominate GT4.

Maybe someone with some tuning expertise can try their hand at one of the other GT4's to see if there is some hidden performance to be had to catch the Aston.

My bad, see what happens when I try to be a know it all lol What was at Donny Park this year then?

Thank you Mark

Would a poll be a good idea to see how much support there may be to run a parallel set of events on PC?

I have it on PC and would be able to help out except for the last few rounds because of pre-existing plans.

Didnt allow me to sign in for first round.
