Thank you!

It goes without saying that tonight is going to be a VERY busy night. We are looking at around 7 lobbies active today.
With that in mind if you are able to assist in hosting please let us know so we can keep everything moving as smoothly as possible.

Given the popularity of the series we will be instigating weekday q sessions as well as a final q session on race day in the same manner as ASCC.

All of the TORA staff team look forward to welcoming you to the British GT eSports Championship 2017

Today will be fun day and I'll try my best to get A today if not that ok cause over 100 people sign in anyway.

Is there a rule against changing liveries mid season ??? If so, would it be ok if I can run a temp livery for tonight as I can't run the one I'm going to cause of reasons which I can't say right now

I don't see why not

Yes that's okay, try to get that proper livery done for Round 2

Please note!!

Due to the amount of racers tonight we are running lobbies of 20 for the race.
Please ensure you are aware of the procedures to race.
GT3 and GT4 will have separate parties. Where we have full GT3 lobbies two parties will take place. Please make sure you are respectful of those on track who may not be able to hear you.

We can't have a lapped race where we race to the end. I went from second to fourth in the final race on the last lap having to deal with GT3 AI. Making the Gt4 class race AI is dangerous and greatly affects the results of the race. Can we please find a way to address this?

I was hosting lobby 2 and my internet crashed just after I finished race 2 meaning I didn't get the results for it. If anyone has the replay or a screenshot of the results please forward it it any staff member!

Many thanks

Mr Driv3, sorry I would share the results if I had them but only saved for Race 1.

Did anyone record B Lobby race 2 that wouldn't mind sharing replay? I'd like to see what happened on that start. Thanks!

Yes, we will have a work around for Round 2.

Thanks sorry if that sounded agressive but I was upset over the end of race 2. Thanks for looking into it

big props to the A lobby guys for trying to roll their car and damage it so they wouldnt get back on track in front of us at the end of the race.. thank you.

I think the AI issue could be solved with a cooldown or pulloff lap at the end, would just need to ensure everyone maintains their places.

That is a great idea crymon!

that idea was first used in Indy car then in the Community support event. so when the car in class enter the final lap, they pull over to one side around turn one and line up in single file, which gives the slower class cars a chance to race fair and clean to the end. cos in our lobby twice we had stupid AI destroying ppl races, specially LMP Dragon who was in 3rd and the AI took him off and he crashed heavy in the tyre wall

Using an extra lap to park finished cars is the best way to do it in my opinion.

Its a shame there is no option to stay in the pit. Would be nice to have the finished cars well out of the way.

Hi guys, can anyone upload the replay of lobby 2? I would like to review the race and make some photos. regards

@all- Cooldown lap is what I had in mind, and seeing as how many have chimed in with the same idea, we'll do that for Round 2 onward. It's tricky sometimes to know if the GT3 cars are going to catch the GT4 cars at the end of the race, but it'll be better now to ensure that even if they do, they'll be able to get out of the way and prevent the issues seen from Round 1.

Apologies if it's mentioned somewhere but I can't find it and would rather ask than get it wrong in the race - are GT4 cars required to instantly yield when GT3 cars lap them? Or is the responsibility on the GT3 cars to wait to pass when it's safe? Obviously don't block or intentionally get in the way, but should I be treating it like blue flags in F1 where I have to get right out the way or not so much?

Cheers =)

@Cafcvfr rules state that it's the responsibility of the GT3 cars to overtake the GT4 cars safely, but, think about this:

if you're not in a battle with anyone else and you see a pack of GT3 cars catching up quickly behind you, I'd advise that you not make their life more difficult, perhaps a lift on the straight so they can get by... something like that. If you're battling with someone, well, they're gonna have to wait and make their way past, because your race is just as important as theirs.

@F4H Diablo cheers for the clarification

so the staff know i have changed my gamer tag from tyr3slay3r95 to FAST x parttime

Any new on a midweek qualy for British gt @nurb gp?? Or is it all on the sunday day?
