Lobby Instructions

Obviously the event organisers will need to agree on the points marked X before the event. This is also by no means exhaustive but I think it covers off the key points and hopefully will make things easier for the TORA guys. I'm open to Suggestions......





Welcome to Lobby A of Round XX of the TORA XXXX Championship, I am Inspector Gadget and I will be host of lobby A tonight, in the unlikely event that I lag out this role will be assumed by Harold Shipman.

This is a short brief to cover off the key areas to ensure tonight's event runs smoothly please listen carefully. If you have any questions please wait until the end of the brief and I will do my best to answer these.

The first lap will be a parade lap for which the speed limit will be XXXmph whilst all cars manouvre into position, followed by a rolling start.

Host then asks "Bob you are on pole position, which side of the grid would you like to start on?"

Bob say's "Right side please host"

Competitors, all odd numbers will start on the left and all even will start on the right. Tonight's order is as follows;

1st Bob
2nd Bob's Brother
3rd Bob's Sister
4th etc etc

Once your in the correct position all competitors are to follow round in single file maintaining a safe distance to the car in front, there is to be NO brake testing during the parade lap, weaving is permitted to heat tyres. On approach to the final corner all cars are to assume grid formation (side by side in pairs).

Once through the final corner Bob at a time of his own discretion which MUST be before the start / finish line will countdown loudly "3-2-1 Go Go Go". Competitors are not to overtake until they have crossed the start / finish line.

There are two mandatory pitstops in this event, the first MUST be taken within the first 25 minutes of the race, this evening this will be XX minutes, the second must be taken after XX minutes but before the last two laps of the race. Yes extra pitstops can be made to repair damage but a second pitstop within the first 25 minutes will NOT count.

This is a multiclass event and as such it is your responsibility to be aware of what is happening behind you aswell as in front. If you are a car being lapped you MUST maintain your normal racing line. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE DEVIATE FROM YOUR NORMAL LINE TO ALLOW THE CAR TO PASS. The competitor will pass you when a safe opportunity arises.

If you lag out or suffer damage sufficient to force you to withdraw from the event please message your mileage to me the host over XBL once you have left the lobby. To avoid distracting myself and the other competitors please do not attempt to communicate this verbally during the race.

If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in a collision with another competitor and feel this requires investigation please follow the Stewards Inquiry process as outlined on the TORA website. For the sake of others do not attempt to discuss or portion blame whilst the race is in progress.

Once XX minutes is reached you are to finish the lap you are on recording the time you cross the line and your mileage and meet myself at point XXXXXXX with all other competitors. I will then request by GT your mileage and time for submitting into the final results. Once all of these are recorded It is then up to you if you wish to wait until the end timer to claim your credits.

In Game Comms - In game comms are to be kept to minimum to avoid distracting fellow competitors. It is optional to make known your position or intention when making a pass out of courtesy but this does not mean the car your passing should yield to your advance. It is at the discretion of your competitor if he / she should decide to defend their position at any point during this advance.
