I have drawn my conclusion based on the lack of punctuation but I should leave it up to others to decide whether your sarcasm was applied retrospectively.

Anybody else wanna talk about how they are currently doing at the moment? Very Happy

@Bandit I was 33rd till adjustments. I feel bad for taking your spot.

As for the current debate there seem to be a few ideas for sorting it.
I Dont know which is best but if the current is no good then i like the idea of calling out the start time and everyone agreeing the end time adjustment and racing to that point.
Or how about calling the crossovers a dead heat when too close. Same points and away to hockenhiem. Not scientific but possibly fair? A little like the peleton in cycling scoring the same time throughout.

Yes, my wheel died the day before the race again. This one made it 22 days and I've missed both races. This is also known as finishing dead f'n last.

That sounds damn fantastic, worm. Hope you get a new one by Hockenheim.

In a Enduro race I dont think we should just be racing the people in our lobby, we should be racing the whole field. I said nothing about losing out to a lobby B driver at sunset I just took it and moved on, but Now that I'm the lobby b driver theres this huge uproar about the rules? hell im sure lobby C guys bet lobby B drivers.

If we could have bigger lobbys this wouldn't be such a big issue.

I have to agree with Cob and Worm.

I also lost positions to lower lobbies so I do understand where the BG guys are coming from but believe that had more to do with the fact that I chose a pretty slow car compared to some of the others and that's my fault.

The argument of being beat off the line has no merit IMO, I understand you being pissed if someone beat you off the line but that's racing just like with the Aston when you blow by that Lambo on the straight. Different cars have different strengths and weakness'.
Standing starts being more dangerous or causing more accidents is something I've never believed. 1st corner accidents are caused by the driver or drivers not using their head, not the method of the starting procedure. I have no issue with rolling starts but standing starts or Magics method do seem like a viable option to make sure that everyone starts at the same point.

Lobby E saw me and Markius get a 1-2 finish. I also lead all but three laps in Lobby E.

Lobby E last night was the best racing i have had to date in TORA, poled 2nd, great start off the line couldn't quiet get "BAD" on the straight he had the legs, so had to do it in the bends, few laps of extreme close racing with "BAD" and then he collected the barrier on the sharp left, turn 3, trying not to let the door open for me to slip by, but his car spun and landed broadside with no-ware for me to go. both cars trashed, and i was so gutted as i was loving it. 5 laps to go i went in pits and just had a praccy run to the line came last but one Sad

second race started at the rear and was just great fun coming through the field with no crashes everyone played the game like its suppose to be, great racing took me 8 laps to get to 2nd and 1st place was 1500 ft up the road, well raced lads.

cheers guys your all legends in my book Smile

Helluva job by you to get up to second from that far behind. Also, James's Lotus was so fast down the straights, I swear it should of been illegal. lol!

. Hats off to him for the incredible run he had in the first race to go from last to second.

I know certain people have been sick (like myself, darn Stomach Flu), but any idea on to when the results and standings will get finalized? My contacts at SRT are curious to how our best weekend of the season actually went. Smile

Last time I checked, I got my best overall finish in both Sprint and Endurance (30th)!

by XPR Roadrunner Tue 5 Mar 2013 - 20:00

I know, and I got my best finish on the season too. Actually both teams should have gotten a major points day Smile

Endurance seems to be the reason why our team is higher in the points. If it was all Sprint, we probably would be lower in the Team standings.

shhhhh don't say that lol
