TORA Spec Cup Season 2 - General Discussion

Discuss..

Will only be able to race the last round. If anyone that plans on running full time wants my livery, let me know and I'll switch with you.

Thinking of entering this and noticed the info on the front page of the forums still has the spec cup listed as the Ford Focus and taking place on Sunday's. May want to get that updated to the current car/day

Yes buddy

They're expecting rain on Oulton Park tomorrow, so we might have a wet race

is it to late to sign up?

@Tactical Nope, still got till tomorrow

Great to see the Ginettas finally coming to TORA. It had been one of my original ideas last year but very pleased it's been adopted

Have fun guys!

Current Weather Forecast for Oulton Park, Little Budworth:
Partly to mostly cloudy with a high of 15°C

But dry. According to www.weather.com.

Sorry for late registration wasn't sure I was going to be able to make the series but can make it now.

Been waiting for pcars to return, looking forward to this!

Alright, so the current weather forecast for tomorrow (according to AccuWeather) says that it's going to be cloudy with an increasing chance of showers or even thunderstorm over the day.

This should definitely become an interesting opener

ok so total noob here I have just started playing Pcars so I have got to ask how the whole pit thing works

You mean the mandatory pit in the second race?

yeah

The host will announce before the race when the pit window will be open eg between laps 8 - 15 in which everyone will have to make a pit stop.

Only for second race though, first race you don't need to pit at all.

I get that but when you go into the pits dose it pit stop by its self every time have tryed to pit in the free practise it gives me a side menu and no matter what I do I just drive straight throw the pits have never dome MP on the game

You usually just go to close on that menu and it pits you.

However I've just tried and it drove me through the pits without stopping.

just tryed it in mp and it did pit me dont know if it changed my tyres or not lol

When entering the pits you should usually get a little menu, allowing you to edit your current pit strategy, to view and select one of your already existing strategies or to swap the driver (which is an option we don't need in this series ^^).

Depending on the settings made in the strategy you selected, it can leave your car completely unserviced. Even if your car is close to being an entire wreck.

I recommend to set up a few strategies in a Quick Race Weekend during a practice session where you start from the pits. (e.g. tires only, fuel only, repairs only or full service)

Selecting the right pit strategy during a multiplayer race is much easier then (and costs less time of course ^^), since you can simply choose one of your existing setups when getting the pit prompt and confirm the strategy by selecting "close".
Your pit crew will first start servicing when you closed the pit prompt.
The only decision your crew is sometimes making themselves is automatically installing intermediate/wet tires in case you entered the pits with soft, medium or hard tires in a wet race. But sometimes they even don't do that, so make sure that you have a fitting strategy at hand in case the track conditions change (which is very likely to happen in this series )

If you don't get a menu when entering the pits, try it again by announcing/requesting your pit stop before entering the pit lane next time.

You should usually have a tire wear and fuel indicator on your HUD (as long as you don't drive without a HUD of course ).
And if your tires are being changed, you will hear it by the "appertaining" (according to my online dictionary) sounds for it (tires being dismounted and mounted again)

so what is the weather conditions for todays race I aint seen anything come up about it ?
