Boogity, boogity, boogity, let's go racing!

TORA TASCAR Kicked off last Saturday the 21st of July with the Sunset 250. Over 17 drivers took to the high banked oval circuit for a great showdown between Ford and Chevrolet. F4H Insanity driving the number 160 F4H Racing Ford took to victory lane just ahead of EZT Uncabunca in the number 99 Ford, who makes a welcome return to racing at TORA driving for EZT Motorsport. The final podium step was taken by Flyin Mikey J in the number 14 Chevorlet for Apex-HLC Motorsports.

Staff held their breath as the time approached 20:00 Hours BST, and looked to continue the MSA TORA GT Championship with Round 3 & 4 at the Hockenheimring National Circuit. Hopefully the issues that Xbox live had been suffering with for the past few weeks have been rectified. Race control announced that there were no technical issues and the rounds were under way.

89 Drivers took to the fantastic stadium circuit, although this reporter still wished that the track blasted through the forest.

Qualifying 1 saw the number 277 Ferrari 458 driven by CQR VtecTorqu claim pole for team CQR Skullcandy with a fantastic time of 1.27.879. It was a huge welcome return to Porsche at the front on the GT field with F4H Carrera driving the Porsche 997 GT3 RSR for team F4H Competition taking second, only a tenth behind.

However, with Q1 out the way Q2 and the 1 lap shoot out was up next. All drivers up and down the field had to get their 1 lap right and CQR Magic showed why the Jaguar XKR RSR, driven by team CQR Bulldogs, may be a threat this season taking pole ahead of SNR Andy in the Yo Sushi Racing Mercdes SLS AMG GT3. With the grid positions now set, the drivers throughout the six lobbys took off for what was described later as “Fantastic racing up and down the field”.

CQR Magic managed to fend off F4H Carrera for race one victory while race two victory went to ATR Dan in the BMW Z4 GT3 for ATR Dynamics ahead of BG Beanz in the Vodafone British Gamers BMW M3 GT2.
