TORA Race of Champions 2012 Track

Welcome

This is old news as you all know this year The TORA Race of Champions will take place at Tsukuba.

Some of the more newer drivers may not know how the Race of Champions works, this is here to show you all what you will have to do I would have done a video but I have not got time to make lots of 30 second clips and putting them together so I will do it in picture format.

Step 1: Lining up on the grid

Start of the race, the track loads, the cars load, a big 3. 2. 1. GO! appear on screen.



The car that is closest to the pits on the grid is to drive forward and cross the line continue forward a little bit then turn around and head back to the start line heading to the other side of the track and get to the edge of the road (furthest from the pits) the car that is furthest from the pits moves forward a little bit and goes towards the edge of the road and to stop at the start line.

Hopefully to look like this.



Step 2: The green lights

The the auto timer strated you off a little while ago now it will all be down to manual starts. If both cars our lined up ready at the 20 second marker then the race will start at 30 seconds, if the drivers are not lined up by 20 seconds the race will begin at 1 minute. (With these instructions you should be lined up by 15 seconds)

Step 3: GO!!!

Once the timer reaches your start time its time to release your handbrake and clutch (if your using clutch) and drive around the track in which ever way you are facing.



Step 4: Halfway round

You may think that going round the track is fastest one way then the other, correct that is true but in this event you will have to go round both ways, when you reach the start line that is only half way, you now have to spin your car round (making sure all 4 wheels have crossed the line)


(You can be closer to the line then this)

Then you drive back the other way, you dont have to wait for the other guy as you still racing them.



Step 5: Finish the race

Now drive around the track untill you get to the finish line, first car across the line wins the race.



As you can see in this shot then white troc car beat the black troc car by some distance.

Key point is the turn around at the start line, and a reminder ALL 4 WHEELS MUST CROSS THE LINE

This is classed as a fail


TROC 2012 (I have named this year 2012 also as it reflects 2012 and not 2013)

This is classed as acceptable


TROC 2011
