Gamertag – Standaman94

TORA Join Date – 14/7/2010 (Only active since January 2012)

Current TORA role - Race Steward, driver & co-team manager for Nurbracer

Current Team(s) you drive for – Nurbracer (Marc VDS in ISCC)

Current Series you have entered - GT, ISCC, TEC

Current Favourite TORA series or event – ISCC and Le Mans were probably my favourite

Favourite Car Driven During a TORA event or series – Aston Zagato from GT S8, didn't have much top speed but it certainly ruled the corners

Favourite livery on any TORA sanctioned car - I'm a sucker for replica liveries, which is why I love the Marc VDS and STR liveries we've entered this year. But I hate to blow my own trumpet, so to speak, so my favourite has to be either the M&M Vodka O livery or the Patronas Viper in the GT Championship I raced against at Suzuka. Both really suit the cars they're applied to.

Can you describe any great races you have had during the 2012 season (pick 1 or 2 moments you can recall) and describe what makes the racing great – GT Season 8 at Motegi, battling in my Zagato with CMGraphix and his teammate in their much faster Nissan GT-Rs. Made for a very close race and an even closer finish There are many other races, but I can't think of them right now, there's too many!

What sets TORA apart from other series – There's a real sense of realism here. I love the replays with commentaries, the spotter's guides, the steward inquiries, the teams, the preparation for the events... It creates this real sense of immersion, just like a real race event. Obviously minus the smells, paddocks, post and pre-race helmet banter, malfunctions, oil on your clothes, grid girls, and going to the pub for a refreshing brew (or cola..) and peanuts afterwards

Does TORA feel like you are taking place @ a real world series – Ditto

What can be done to improve TORA – Add the smells, paddocks, post and pre-race helmet banter, malfunctions, oil on your clothes, grid girls, and going to the pub for a refreshing brew (or cola..) and peanuts afterwards

Any closing comments to the community - Keep it up! The fact that so many people have put so much time into this is amazing, it shows the true dedication of the community.

Bravo Stan

Staaan! One of the funnest guys I've had the pleasure of knowing on Xbox.
