TORA Nürburgring 8 Hours - General Discussion

Hmmmm, thanks for pointing it out Hailfire, I never tested every single car as I borrowed the list from Britcar basically. I didn't expect there to cars like that which simply didn't fit. Sorry, but remember the PI is the maximum limit, not the set limit. The Power and Weight bands are the most important and that is what the cars will be ruled against, so you'll need to take power out of it to fit but it will be of a lower PI. If this is something you wish to consider.

Me personally, I think SP1 Cup should be absorbed by SP1 and then it makes life sooooooooooooooooo much easier for you guys and those in the Porsches (Sp1 cup) would have better racing. That's just my two cents anyway. Two class enduro events has worked for you successfully in the past and also for VM.

most events are generally 3 classes but for some reason 1 class always seems to be unpopular , the TEC standings as pointed out are for fun this season so no harm really done.

Would this mean a car swap is practically required for cars #951 and #66?

Depending on the driver, I suspect a car at minimum weight, but max power will be good regardless of the PI.
My car scrapes minimum weight by about 2 pounds, but is also bang on the minimum power
(edit to add - looking at your team, I dont see them having an issue with it! )

Surely SP1 and SP1 Cup is just like LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am?
Potential to race against each other, even to the point that an Am car might be faster than a Pro car in qualifying or the race.
But at the end of the day they're scored separately. If the finishing order in LMGTE class was; Pro, Pro, Am, Pro, Am (in this case it'd look like SP1, SP1, SP1 Cup, SP1, SP1 Cup) - it'd still be scored at Pro, Pro, Pro and then Am, Am while retaining the overall result.

Correct Sarrazin

I will adjust the rules to clarify that SP1 Cup is it's own class.

My school just announced its final exam schedule.....THE SAME COURSE THAT I COULDN'T DO VLN BECAUSE OF ITS MIDTERM HAS ITS FINAL ON THE SAME DAY AS N8!!!!

FUCCCCKKKK

Ouch :-(

Must be nice going to school with finals on saturdays... oh wait

don't rub it in

I also have an exam the day before at noon, so MAYBE I will be able to, but I won't be able to stream the later stints like I said I'd be willing to do.

on the bright side, it starts at 9am my time and my exam isn;t till 7pm my time, so I'd have time to do it, but I DO have to study for it.

Sorry to jump in but as far as I can tell the SP3 class is bursting at the seams.

Is the possibility of lifting the cap any nearer?

Richy may lift the cap today up to 4 lobbies!!!

So no doubt more class jumping .

Richy's probably chosen to do this because he somehow knew that I've made up all the spotter guide templates this morning..... DOH!!!

easy solution all current entrants locked to the car and class they have.

I'm sure he said no class jumping?

I think it will only be SP3 and SP1Cup that opens anyways as SP1 it full already.

Yeah I'll update the current Entry list when I get home this afternoon and raise the class caps. As I said elsewhere, SP1 will remain closed and there will be a small addition to SP1 Cup but most spaces that open will be SP3. After this I don't think we can go any further than 4 lobbies, especially in terms of hosts and such.

Oh just as a note, if anyone has a capture card and wants to help out streaming throughout the event just let me know. I'll be streaming all 8 hours but with only 4 stints taking place it will probably mainly be A Lobby.

Will there be any more official test sessions?

should be next week, i see the end of light with 14 days straight at work

I was just wondered, is there gonna be any support race stuff for this like at Britcar?

There isn't a tune as such, you build the car to the regs specified and tune it as you see fit.

Do we have any Sp3 cars left to choose from.......???

Not sure how up to date the list is.
