TORA 12 Hours of Sebring - General Discussion

So are these builds final?

Or will they change (as usual) when someone post a super quick lap time?

A quick guy runs a quick time in one car, then all the guys run that car.

fast drivers will be fast in whatever , when you see guys like alex and bullin post times like that in R1/X class its really no surprise.

I'm asking because with all Endurance races in 2012 builds kept changing all the time untill qualifying.

no this should be good to go , unless someone has a real valid reason to nurf a car .

Pleased to say that there will be an Aston Martin Racing presence on the grid at Sebring.

In Gulf colours?

or go for sometihng like the AMR colours from this years D24?

I don't think it'll be Craft no

Ready for some serious endurance racing again!

I know these cars are supposed to be similar to the upcoming ISCC builds (or at least I'm lead to believe that) but with the current builds the Viper is at least 1 full second slower than any other car on the list at Sebring and a whopping 2-3s slower at Le Mans than the majority of the list again.

equal?....

EDIT: I say this because I want to bring SRT over again to TORA, and I don't want to go thru that business (they are looking into Social media options for the race, atm) just to have us sit there in C lobby, get no attention and finish near the bottom (assuming no crashes and lagouts).

it isn't a done deal yet, but this is making me reconsider doing this, as is all of XPR

yep builds wont change, I understand but from testing group and team no issue was found with the viper

he's not the only one a second off with the Viper then. I'm a second off as well compared to the rest of the cars.


also, the others at MGR who have tested it are also a second or more behind with the Viper.

no offense Duncan but this is true to XPR as well. I'm finding it hard to believe that it is equal.

I suppose my suspecions will be true/false when regeistration comes up

the problem is the only thing that can be done to the Vipers at this point is to up the tires on the front and rear. Otherwise the rest of the cars would have to get changed. :/

I have asked test team if the viper was overlooked but like Lightning has said tyres that's all speed wise cant do much about that, wish we could mod this game

Here we go...

well, you could just put race brakes, give it one restitctor and give it ~10-15% handi to give it an extra 20-30hp or something. Stock tire width.

I'm not saying that it's unequal AS A WHOLE, but for these two tracks it is.

regardless if y'all add the tires to it or not, I still plan on running it for Sebring. From my guess, the tires will probably help a bit. I can't do anything about the straight-line speed, but the gain in the corners might equalize it out. I can test it and report back if you want, I've got 18 hours before I have to go to work.

Completely stock tune, including stock downforce. I only did 4 flying laps. Because of the low speed, you have to keep momentum up through the corners. Which makes it harder to do fast laptimes than in, let's say, the Ferrari. Viper might be slower, but not by much, 4 tenths maximum.

There's work to be done!

Something tells me the Viper doesn't need a power handicap since it only has 475 horsepower. How much faster is the Viper without the handicap compared to the rest of the field?

If you look at the car builds section, you will find out that there is actually no handicap on the Viper.

Don't want to sound like a douche, but its probaly not the car. CQR and myself have gotten the Lambo into the top lobbies over in the GT championship and the Lambo like the Viper has no speed whatsover. You need to make up the time in other places where the cars strenghts are and utilize it to the max. My suggestion, don't use any downforce on the Viper as it really won't need it due to the aero and mechanical grip it has over other cars.

Scantraxx: 2:03.5 Ford GT
Myself: 2:03.8 GT3 RSR and 1:46.7 in the R18

4mph over the SLS at Sunset. I accidentally did a few laps without restriction when I was testing with Red Dirt Bandit

I already don't as it is. It's going to be cornering speed that makes the difference it seems for the Viper. It's just going to need some work is all, and a better driver than I to bring out the best of it.

We have, it feels much different than the Lambo tho.
