The 'other half' of the Samsung Racing line up features Michael Eyles, who leads the squad with former Benedict Racing rival Kevin Bolland in a pair of brand new SLS GT3s. Both drivers have garnered the respect of the TORA racing community with their results and racecraft in the past. The SLS is a challenging car to get the most out of but this team has shown they are quick to adapt and extremely keen to make the most of every opportunity.

Kev please don't take this the wrong way but were did you gain the respect of the tora community it was only a few weeks ago most of em wanted to lunch you lol...

I don't mean to offend anyone and please don't take it to seriously..least you guys got a mention obviously the tora staff hate me as I wasn't mentioned once so my rep must be worse than yours lol...its all fun so don't take it to heart big lad...

yea they did mess up a few things but like Matt said, its just nice to be recognized.. They put a lot of effort into getting this deal with British GT so I don't know why you come and bash it. Seems like for the past few weeks you've been coming on to the forums and taking a piss at everything and everyone

All finishers

So the points are wrong right

To my knowledge it has been resolved. But yeah all the DNF's go at the bottom of all the finishers, no matter what lobby. 😀😀 glad I could help you 😀

that is because I have I'm just expressing my right to an opinion or as you Americans would say I'm taking the first amendment....I shall say what I want an when I want if it was as you say taking the piss then I'm sure the staff would say something to me an as they have not I shall continue to take the first.....

You Americans?

Jonno, repeatedly "taking the piss" in a topic is more than likely a violation of forum rules. Add something relevant to this discussion of British GT or just stop replying.

Anyway, does anyone know if Patch 2.0 will be out before Round 2?

Like I said if it was then I'd get a smacked bottom wouldn't I no one has to reply to what I say yet everyone chooses to if no one likes what I put Don't read it....an to awnser your question regarding patch 2.0 its with ms so expect it in about a week....

na its not. unless it hasnt been posted yet which in that case i take back the previous statement.

cz jpapa should have 86 pointsnnot 79 in race one.

Ill post this is here as i posted it else where before.....

If TORA cant make an exception in how they give out points for a game that is seriously flawed then I'm afraid thats me out. There is absolutely no point in me continuing to take part as I will probably miss a round at some point so my dropped scores will go to there so I will always be 86 points down than where I should be because the game crashed on me 3 laps from the end of a 22 lap race.

I am surprised TORA do not have the understanding or compassion to award me atleast bottom points in the lobby, that would keep the championship alive for me. its not like I hit a wall or rage quitted like the others. The game is seriously broken (atleast 4 others froze in other lobbies, frame rate problems, pit stop problems, contact problems).. I can understand a zero tolerance policy on games like forza where game disconnect is likely only going to happen because of bad connections which is down to the driver but this policy should be changed so that if you finish atleast 75% of the race you are classified if the game freezes or generally messes up outwith the users control.

To Gregtwo

TORA has done this point systems for years and it is very unlikely they are going to change it because of 1 person. Also in really racing if you DNF then you get the points for DNF. Also Project Cars is not "seriously flawed" it has some bug and problems yes but it is not unplayable.

Also to add to British 1st post. 5-6 people lag out because of either game or rubbish internet out of over 100??

5-6% drop rate at best and most coz of bad connections.

I don't think the game is broken at all just the people who expect perfection from day one.

Does this site and members have issues with Americans?

Not at all i mean one of the biggest teams AX4X has a roost of american drivers. What makes you say that?

That's good. I was only wondering. As I am new here, some things I read I"m not sure how to take. it seems a lot of the males argue a lot.

Brooke

yeah its just people venting off in public dont take anything personal

Ignore all the Flame and everything, i actually thought my Video might of changed the mood, but people still carry it on, Dont like whats happening go somewhere else, [Censored] happens, ive lagged out of an Endurance Race before when i was sitting in 3rd, out of like 20-30 people, take it on the Chin and stop making it like ur gonna be contending for a top 3 spot, you earn your respect here from on the track, not from your constant moaning on the Forums. earn your respect. Race Hard race Clean .

So What your saying Gregtwo is that we should change it because you said so? because you might not win? I didn't know you ran TORA now. Everyone else in the community is respecting the rule and getting along with it except you gregtwo. Do you feel Special or something or do you have a god given right that we should listen to you because A) your an A lobby runner, B) You wont win by driving WITHIN track limits may I add....

hmmmm I don't think we should

Just because something has been done for ages doesn't mean it's right.

Okay enough.

Greg, TORA has always awarded Lagouts/DNF's last place. The only difference is that this series, unlike most others has maxed out its points system. This meaning that in the past people in your position would have still made 30-40 points at times.

I sympathize with you, but unfortunately we can't change something we've for done years in the middle of a championship, regardless of game stability.

Some of you responders need to back off and remember the idea is to keep people liking TORA, not chase them away... Right Adam?

If you don't do the full race distance and others do, you shouldn't be allowed any points above the people who completed the race distance, no matter what lobby!

This.

I am American, and worked my way up to Staff, and LMR Deftone, XPR Gillard and LMR Darth Mario have as well.

If there was any issue with Americans, we wouldn't be here.
