TORA Spec Cup Season 5: General Discussion

Discuss away

Just saw the new posting. Are you going to vote on the time and date? Or is it already decided?

Dates and times are decided, still working on the last topics which will be done today..

What will return is that we will have a poll each week on which time of the day we will start (In game)

I'm bummed, can't do WED night. Maybe next series.

I've been getting revved up from Precision Race League. I know Tora staff has been running these rules as is for a very long time, but PRL seems go much smoother.
No offense to anyone, but I don't know if I'd join. It may be last second, but I'll see if the registry starts to fill up and decide from there.

Shneeb its wednesday afternoon for you.

Is this a downloadable car pack? Will have to see whay i csn do with shifts with work to race wed as tuesday im off, very dissappointed with PRL tried the LMP but too much car to hanfle for me and then they cancelled the GT3 series with no reason why, so Tora has to be for me.

May be worth looking at allowing people to change car settings worked well in PRL

Spec has always run no issues. We wait for drivers if we get a message before start time to get everyone in we can.

The BAC Mono maybe part DLC as well as some tracks. On race night the settings will be forced by the host so if u do not own the content you can still race.

In a single make series it maybe an option to open up tuning in the future.
For Spec we aim for identical platform for all drivers.

Texas PJ Pete - Thanks for reminding me it would be afternoon EST time. I'll try the car in spec to see if I can drive it. Then decide.

Drove it tuned, then drove it stock default with super-soft's (Spec). Seems a little loose as stock default set up. Can drive it but can't push it in corners at all without the rear end coming out. Are the Spec rules non-negotiable, or can we at least change tire temps?

I'll try it out again but with hard's this time.

The Spec rules are non-negotiable. They have been crafted to get the best racing with this platform. We qualify and start with default setup.

You are permitted to make changes in pitstops. Endurance races will require fuel and tires. Add in the changing weather conditions and it maybe next to impossible drive stock to the end of race.

I found the BAC mono to be very rewarding. Once warmed up allot of fun to chase the grip.

Not sure If we're going to make this series

Working away from home at least 2 of the races but might still race the rest.

You wont be the only one to miss a race or 2, so do not let that keep ya from the track.

This season 10 rounds with a drop score it could be anyone's title.

Can anyone confirm that this bug has been fixed, or not?

-Bug Name: Can't pit with 'Force Default Setups' on
Description: If the lobby is 'Forcing Default Setups' on cars, then when you make a pitstop, tyres will not be changed (unsure about fuel loads so need to test and confirm) unless weather conditions change. It forces the 'Automatic by Weather' tyre which is a dry tyre, so unless it becomes properly wet, then the pitcrews won't change the tyres to the wets or inters.
Platforms: All
Solution: Avoid running long races where tyre wear is going to become a big issue.
Introduced/Fixed: Patch 5.0/Fix to Come.

We do not use the setting Forced default setup.

Yeah, due to the pit crew being extremely lazy with default settings forced in the lobby, you will need to reset your tuning and set your pit strategy to default before exiting the pits for qualifying and during the warm-up phase before the race instead.
Therefore default settings will be turned off.
This'll allow you to customize your pit stops when in the race while keeping a leveled playing field.
