TORA TEC Spa 12H - General Discussion

That's what I do when I go off track in Eau Rouge or Radillon. I deliberately drive off track to make the lap dirty. So my lap time doesn't count.

I do the same. Personally speaking, the benefits of cutting Eau Rouge are extremely small. Here is a bounce I've noticed which slows the car down and I can take Eau Rouge flat anyway like most of us can so there really is no point. There are other areas on the track that should get more focus IMO.

You have to beg the question; who on earth did the track limits for this track? Was he hungover that day? Wrong glasses? Having a laugh? Someone made conscious decision to have the track this way ha

Not sure where I should post this, but as of last night it appears that one of the advertisements used on this site has been compromised..resulting in redirects and other malicious behavior.

I'm seeing the problem specifically on iOS devices running v9.3.x, using both Safari and Chrome browsers. I've run latest iOS updates, I've cleared all data, cleared all cookies, blocked popups, etc... But I'm randomly being sent to adserv spam when browsing these forums since last night.

The only way to stop it has been to disable Java on my phone. I'm not seeing this behavior on any other website, only the Tora forums.

The only thread that is 100% causing this problem every time its clicked has been the Spa stint thread. Other threads will work half the time but redirect the other half of the time. I'm not sure if theres something within the Stint thread that can be used to track down the origination of the issue, but I'd start there if I were investigating the issue.

Problem appears to be resolved, the issue stopped for me as of roughly 15-20 min ago.

Dont worry i had the same.
Got taken to a cougar dating site...

Can we please clarify in the stint thread which stints will be day / night so we know how to practice?

Without being too graphic in describing what came up on my screen, lets just say I'm glad I was on my phone and nobody could see my screen when it happened.. because if I were in public or if I had been on my work computer, I would have had some serious explaining to do...

In all seriousness though, whoever at TORA is responsible for managing the advertising relationships... they should let their vendor know they don't appreciate having their users hijacked when browsing the site. It lasted almost 12 hours.. that's a looong time for shenanigans.

Let's try not to have any blank cars this time

What days are the TEC Qualifying on and times for the event aswell

Race starts 3PM as usual, add 2h for each stint. Quali is traditionally Sunday, Monday and Thursday, 8PM BST, EST and an AEST session on the Sunday.

ok, theres no post for drivers to book days to do the Q session

HA! guess its random grids then!

When can we get some details on the stint conditions (Day/Night) asap please? I would like to start tuning/practice in the correct conditions.

Based on this, the first 3 should be day, and the final 3 at night:

That doesnt really clarify what we are doing. This should of been put up a long time ago. All it is, is some text telling us.

I'm thinking the Corvette got overlooked... It's a half second quicker than anything else in the field. I didn't have much time to check it considering I had to prep for FRC, but I guess it's too late now that qualifying has started.

It didn't get overlooked, I got outvoted.

Viper will do same laps pretty much as the Corvette.

Corvette can do a 15.9. Viper can't do that without brakes.

I would love to see that on paper ☝️

I did a 2:16.4 with splits for a .2 in 3 laps just from slightly changing my Bathurst tune. I've spent zero time here, as well. The best I've gotten from anything else is a 16.7 in the McLaren.

I'm telling you it's looking like a Corvette Spec Cup Sorry evan

Well if you think about it you haven't done a 15

There is having the splits but can you put the whole lap down thats the question then send me a pic of that because if your in the 15s mate you are litrally a next level driver 😉

I'm not gonna be in the 15s consistently. I said the car could do it, but I really don't feel like putting effort into a car that I don't want to drive. That being said, it probably won't be changed at this point, so I might have to jump on the Corvette bandwagon just to have a shot at a win.

There's a reason there are 9 of them in the field, you know.

I dont think it can do that... That seems too fast.
