Re: TORA Le Mans Series Media Day Discussion Thread.

look at it as another way to strategise. do you wait a long time to get a clear space and lose a lap or 2 or do you pull into someones draft to stop their perfect lap.

Here is the result of a TRDC discussion on the penalty system.

AJzero wrote:

The bottom line is that your best time will count, whether its is a '!" lap or not.

The '!' system is not fair, and therefore should be ignored. If it only came on if your were blaintenly cutting the track then it would not be a problem and we could trust it. But thats what sticky grass is for!

The '!' is designed to try and attempt to make the scoreboards fair, so is of little relevance to us. At least now, that lap gets counted not completely ignored!

The lobby captains and stewards will of course save ALL replays, and suspect laps reviewed.

We will put out extra warnings for tracks where the system can be obviously abused, such as turn 2 at Atlanta, and the corner before the Ullman straight at Sebring.

Anyone gonna explain why Magictap wasn't on the scoreboard? He signed in and was registered with the team.

by Guest Mon 4 Jan 2010 - 15:33

Magic did not sign in and therefore was not on LT.

He was invited to join, but ran in a unregistered car, i.e. a 911.

could i just say something about the gap between the LMP2 cars? it was 4 SECONDS! i did a lap with a 908 and was 3 seconds faster than my LMP2 time, so say if Nick joined LMP1 he goes 3 seconds faster so he would have been in the 1m19's!

by Guest Mon 4 Jan 2010 - 16:07

AJ. My registered car is and was at the time of running the Panoz. I have not changed this nor have any of my team or any of the team I was changed to. Can I ask why you changed it?

I signed in. Check the records. I had a discussion about not being bothered to sign in for everything with my lobby host before hand who explained to me that live (not) timing requires it, so, i went and signed in prior to running.

There has been an explanation concerning that S1 time. Please acknowledge his S2 time as the fastest.

what did nick do like?

by **Matt** Mon 4 Jan 2010 - 18:08

Had to cut the final chicane to avoid slower moving traffic.

by HCR generaltso Mon 4 Jan 2010 - 18:15

I think it might be high time to use that stupid rotary motor in the mazder scratch

by Pebb Mon 4 Jan 2010 - 19:36

So who uploaded replays from each lobby to the storefront.

Bring it

by HCR generaltso Mon 4 Jan 2010 - 20:26

it's already been brought...cant keep up with the RS spyder.

but, for comparisons sake, I'm a full second quicker in the 950 rotary while trying to tip toe it around bugatti. 1:25:4xx with no penalty, with a bunch of 1:24's with penalty.

so it'll be more competitive, but i think this ones over before it's even started :/

cant wait for lemans though, and blowing the P1 car's doors off down the mulsanne Laughing

by Ax4x Chaddy Mon 4 Jan 2010 - 20:37

the acura looks a ok car over long runs as the RS can be a handful

by Tezuka18 Wed 6 Jan 2010 - 0:15

That was a fun event and a pretty good TORA debut for me Smile

Its a shame I couldn't string together more of those clean laps and improve on my Session 1 time but thats alright. The RSR is capable of 1:34's at Bugatti if everything's dialed in so ill give it a better go next time.
