Howdy!

Gamertag - J0HNIB0Y (the o's are zero's)
Age - 37
Country - Born and raised in Bonnie Scotland, but happily living in "The Big Smoke" for the last 10+ years.
Experience - been playing racing games since Auto Racing in '82. That does not mean I'm quick! Big ToCA fan (Race Driver 2 is my all-time favourite game). Played a lot of FM3 and Race Pro on 360. Shift 2 my new fav (especially GT1 & GT3). More of a racer than a tuner (to say the least).
Interested in - Big motor racing fan. Watch every FIA GT1, Euro GT3, British GT, DTM, BTCC, F1, WRC, Le Mans Series, Indy, Aussie V8's, etc, race that I can. Drove a few laps around Silverstone recently in a Ferrari 360. Loved it so much I'm going back for my stag do!

Welcome dude, make yourself at home. If you still have a copy of Race Pro be good to see you tomorrow night for some 07 touring cars at 8pm GMT ;O)

Hi Richy. I went back to the "old country" the other week. Had some good times, as always. The way things a going though, I'm gonna need a passport to visit home soon

I would love to join you for next weeks Silverstone round. Saw the entry list and need to see what's left. Probably one of the All-Inkl Lamborghini's if they are available.

Sorry fella, I'm nowhere near my 360 at the moment. I should have prepared better for the is. Been waiting a long time for a good race and now I'm not even ready!

no worries

Welcome mate! Any questions ask away!

Cheers guv. Will do. Just about to try and sign up for the GT1 WC.

YIPPEE. More the merrier ;O)

^Indeed Magictap.

That's it done. Just PM'ed Richy and Chris.

Here's a question. As a benchmark, what's a half decent time for a lap around Silverstone GP. Just so I can get an idea what I'm aiming for.

Shift 2 in a GT1 car, naturally.

Silverstone arena is the next circuit and i have no idea yet!! ;O( Will post some times tomorrow

Many thanks. Anything much under 2 minutes and I'll be putting quite a few laps in this weekend!

you better get busy dude. 1:58's without tuning and some mistakes round Silverstone GP in the Lambo GT1

Hey dude Welcome to TORA

I'm working on it right now. Sure I can get down to below 1:58. Silverstone Arena is a new one on me, so I need to get some laps in. Hate myself for saying it, but I never liked Silverstone that much. I find it a bit featureless. I really need to use the braking point marker boards at the moment, but once I get used to it I should be OK.

Do you guys tend to run with or without assists?

me personally - cockpit, wheel, no assists
