[racelegend MB1]

Great racing guys, me chrisis and me and dean had some good battles. very clean guys (for minis) and some reall good racing. Thanks

still suspect how once again AJ's lobby benefits most from the generator

Thanks to all those who swanned off in race two, leaving me over 20 seconds behind. If I want to potter round by myself, I'll play single player.

Next time, don't even bother with a safety car.

[Ianmr]

Race 2 was abit of a mess, my car was in cvery bad shape but there was no point in pitting so i didnt, just kept going

[CQR Rogue]

[HCR generaltso]

it's just action packed the entire way through.

[Biggsy tv]

[Saint Dean]

Those times are crazy under 2minutes
i just managed to get under 1:22 with a 1:21 something.

[Ianmr]

I just noticed i have been on the podium at least once at every round two 1sts a 2nd and a 3rd

[CQR Aero]

Slightly disappointed that the absolute best performance I could muster (beating everyone except Chillz 3 races on the trot) resulted in equal points with Ian, who I was hoping to close the gap to in the championship.

I am becoming a bit of a demon off the start line though. 4th - 2nd before turn 1 in race 1, and 5th - 1st before turn 1 in race 2.

Replays are on my storefront for your enjoyment.

Just a bit of fun at the end of the day, happened to me in race 3 left my car useless had to pit. But i just raced with the closest person who was chucky to get a little bit of excitement.

You pitted did you not?

[Crisis Nine]

Bit gutted with my qualy. Been running consistent 2.02's in testing which would have put me in B lobby but my soon to be wife decided that qualy was a good time to come and start an argument with me. Had no concentration at all. Ran several 2.01's in every race as well which would have put me at least 4th in A lobby had I done it in qualy.

Mini battle! from Scot Reid on Vimeo.

AJzero and ckBrenneke battle for 2nd place on the last lap of the second race around the Catalunya GP circuit in the TORA Mini Challenge. Just seconds before, AJ, in third, gives ck a little tap behind to unsettle the car going into the back straight, giving him a run, but ck pulls off some proper touring car tactics to keep the place.

Just because I was the only one who pitted, doesn't mean you can effectively fix my result to last.

I pitted because i had to, and decided to wait but realised it would be 3minutes or so before it finishes. So i did a few laps in me still knackered car. Gearing had completelygone.

If you choose to pit you are excluded from the safety car procedure.

[RaceProUK]

So because I decide to fix my car, I should be left behind?

In fact, as the pile-up was in turn 1 on lap 1, why wasn't there a restart?

Y'know, I can't be bothered arguing. If this is the way it's going to be run, I can't be bothered with it. Consider this a withdrawal from all TORA events.

[Crisis Nine]

Because we don't do restarts thats why. And yes if you choose to fix your car you are excluded from the safety car procedure. The safety car will only come out if there are 3 or more cars involved. The likelihood is that if one of those 3 or more cars is damaged sufficiently to warrant a pit stop then there will be other cars which will need to do the same. It's down to you whether to take the stop or not. There will be times when you have no choice but to pit but that's how it goes I'm afraid. Same thing happened to me in the TCM last week. Automatically puts you last coz you either have to drive with a wrecked car or pit but that's the way it goes with running limited damage. No reason to pull out of TORA just because you had some bad luck in one race.

[Saint Dean]

In any motorsports sports under safety car you can pit if you want but the safety will continue to go, i dont think i have ever seen a race where someone made the whole grid stop so he can fix his car.

[Crisis Nine]

Very good point well made my friend.

[JAMIE ANDERS0N]

Well that happened to me in race 2, safety car, I pitted and race began.
I knew this was going to happen and pretty sure its in the rules also. and saint dean in the last race he pitted with no safety car as only two cars involed.
