Not doing something silly like driving with Friction Assist turned on in free play?
Have you tried both Free Play and Rivals modes?

Mmmmmm. Just Free Play. I don't run friction assist, but believe I may have toyed with it in case I went off track to see if it gave any benefit and may not have un-did that setting. I'll check tonight. Thanks!

I just signed up, but couldn't understand how to do it as a Privateer, so I signed up as a team, is that gonna be an issue? I have this fake team name on my cars livery if that matters. Do we have practice rounds? I'm at home a lot, haha

Is fastpanties your Gamer tag. Did sign up for Au, UK or US. Some times people do practice online TORA Discord maybe the place to find some practice lobbies.

No my gamertag is Erics75218...I'm gonna change my username here. I signed up under Erics75218, Masucci Racing and have entered Lime Rock as such!

by MSR FstPntez Tue 31 Mar 2020 - 16:42

I mean here I am. Christ...............

I tried to go across the board FastPanties, but I couldn't set my gametag to that, so I'll continue to be shitty named Erics75218

As a heads up, discussing SIs outside of the SI process isn't something that is looked upon favourably.

Any issues should be raised to the head steward LZR Diablo. If you feel that is not enough then I would recommend copying Ax4x Big Ben in to the conversation as he is the TORA President.

The decisions of the stewards team are not open for public debate, nor is asking for public opinion allowed. If you have questions or concerns regarding an inquiry you are involved in then you are to PM the appropriate staff members. It also helps if you are civil and respectful when doing so.

This thread is temporarily locked so that things can simmer down.

Thank you
TORA Staff

Isyoube's quote, because it's too long to repeatedly quote so I'm doing people a favor:

Let me direct you to the TORA Driver's Handbook: http://forums.theonlineracingassociation.com/t20219-tora-driver-s-handbook-updated-2020

7.5.17 If all four wheels have left the track or you have become caught on sand you must rejoin at the nearest point compatible with safety. It is unfair and unacceptable to simply rejoin the circuit as quickly as possible without any regard for the drivers around you who have been able to retain control of their car. If this means stopping at the side of the circuit until safe to rejoin then that is what you must do, even if that means you rejoin last.

Huh. That's a rule that's specifically says, you must wait if you cannot rejoin the track safely, even if that means stopping. You hit somebody attempting to rejoin the track. You don't seem to agree with it, though. However, let me also direct you to a couple further points in the handbook:

6.1 All drivers must be aware of the TORA Driver's Handbook and series specific rules. These rules must be adhered to at all times. By registering for a Championship, the driver is agreeing to comply by the TORA Driver's Handbook and the Rules & Regulations of the championship. See rule 5.4

5.4 It is a condition of entry into the championship that all competitors, teams, team members and people associated with any of the above agree to be bound by the TORA Driver's Handbook and the various TORA championship Rules & Regulations including any amendments, variations or statements relating thereto.

This means anyone who signs up to race at TORA is agreeing to the fact they're familiar with the rules of the road and the event structure. The rulebook has been in place nearly since the site opened back in 2008 and was revised in January of this year to update procedures within Forza 7, as well as changes to the penalty structure to be point-based instead of position based. These rules are not up for your interpretation. So, you signed up for a series, broke a rule, and are complaining the rules aren't fair. That's not how it works.

In the 3 SI's you filed this week, all three were actually ruled in your favor, apart from you being held accountable for an unsafe rejoin and causing avoidable contact. I'm not sure what else to tell you.

I didn't write the rules. I just enforce them.

Anyone having issues viewing the total points regarding the US championship? They don't seem to have been updated properly on my end.
