Welcome to the TORA Sport Ute Championship

COMiNG SOON!

These beasts are a mainstay in the Land Down Under.

Known for close racing in production base vehicles powered by high HP V8s, the Aussie Utes are the ultimate red (Holden) vs blue (Ford) rivalry that has been around for decades. We've kept this spirit alive in a rules package that tests both skill and bravery, and promises to be both fun and challenging, as, per tradition and keeping things "as real as it gets" there's no Forza assists for this one.

And, to further make things interesting, we've scheduled this in a true "international time slot" of late night EU (11PM Britain), early eves/late afternoon US (6PM Eastern US) and Saturday morning in Australian time. This time allows for a true Global competition, giving all a chance to race with people that they may otherwise rarely see firsthand on track.

I'm cutting this one close. I work 9-5 on mon and fri. Getting home at 5:40. So I will be close to missing races.

You and me both, Grim.

Me too, but on the other end. I just hope to wrap things up before I have to leave for work.

One thing I'd like to gauge and address is "cross-platform play".

In particular, how many racers signed up for this series are using a PC rather than console? It may be for the greater good to force this to console-only if there are severe connection and communication issues, but in the interests of a full field, at this point I just need to know "if" anyone entered is on a PC?

hey on the build I realize the requirements so what do that mean for the tires size? Do we max it out or no and the weight requirement is between 3,300 3,500. Once I put on the build requirements. The HSV sits at 4134lbs. I'm confused about the build.

Here's the build I got for it:
Race Intake
Sport Flywheel
Race Brakes
Race Spring and Dampers
Race Front Anti-Roll Bars
Race Rear Anti-Roll Bars
Race Chassis Reinforcement/Roll Cage
Race Weight Reduction
Race Transmission
Race Driveline
Race Diff
Sport Tire Compound
Max Front and Rear Tire Width

Weight range is actually 3200-3300, the Required parts listed must be used, and Aero must not be used, any other upgrades are at your discretion.

Hard to keep the car from wanting to spin tires I have tried all my tuning genius and nothing is working. Gotta be real gentle with the throttle.

Mikey, I was finishing up my liveries and there are some TORA logos that didn't show up when searching your uploads. What should I do about it? I'll check again tonight in case they didn't load for some reason. I have the number boxes and URL decals, just no logos.

Hey Mikey, or anyone who knows...do these cars have and use traction control in the real life series? I know nothing about these cars or the actual series.
