Re: TORA 12 Hours of Sebring - General Discussion

it'd be best to befriend the "MSA TORA TEC" And/or "MSA TORA TEC 2" depending on your gamertag (each one is set for a certain portion of the alphabet). if those are full, there are other gamertags (GT/GT 2/GT 3[i think there's a 3rd], ISCC/ISCC 2, TCC, TASCAR)

Where can we see which range of the alphabet each one covers?

Im sure Richy flipped once at Sebring but dont think it was in LMP unless it was his M&M Pug?

i do believe the range is listed in the Gamertag's "User Name" (i.e.: where mine would say 'Mark')

by AAR ABEnstein Sun 3 Mar 2013 - 15:01

I don't see an alphabet listing on the gamertag itself, but there's plenty of room on the first one, so I'll have my team use the MSA TORA TEC.

CQR Franchitti wrote:Well in the middle of the 6 car Le Mans race race of 2011 (3 LMP, 3 GT cars) We were just having a good laugh and pounding round as you do talking about motorsport and other life stuff. There was one or two people watching the race from inside the lobby and one of the drivers said they were needing the toilet. He could just park up and go so he decided to keep going, only for the guy watching the race to go to his bath with this wireless headset and controller and turn on his tap and put his mic up to!!! The poor driver had to turn off his mic not to go running to the toilet himself! Cue almost on the floor crying in laughter drivers trying to do a 24 hour race!

Then I said 'why don't we just throw a brown flag so everyone can stop and take a ****?!' Cue even more laughter and I even think someone missed one of the chicines lol.

Anyway during all this My Magictap hadn't been looking at this floor reading and all we hear is 'Right just crossing the line now to do another lap, great race so far lads!'

A split second later we hear this '****!, the fuels all gone!!!!!' Luckly for mr magictap all the other cars were on the other side of the track so he was able to turn around and roll down the hill and make it to the pits somehow!!!! Cue yet more Laughter and the driver needing to go to the toilet just went to the toilet so missed what happened! This race was also the only one that I know when all LMP cars have retired from a stint and the GT cars got back alot of time lol

by **LMR DarthMario** Sun 3 Mar 2013 - 15:35

i had to pull over after Mulsanne corner in my morning stint to use the restroom, as i couldn't hold it any longer.

mind you, in 2011, the stints were 3hrs long (race to 2hr55, stop where we were to record distance, thanks to FM3 which actually had X.XX mile readings)

by CQR Shifty Tue 5 Mar 2013 - 9:48

Pleased with mine and Daniels time in qualifying. Nice to see us sitting at the top for the moment.

Although I expect that we wont be there for long!

It'll be a fun 12 hours Smile

Does anybody know how long the fuel will last in each class?

by XPR Roadrunner Wed 6 Mar 2013 - 23:26

if going on Le Mans from last year, about 1.5hrs for P1 and you don't need to fill up in the GT cars. Tire wear will get to around 30ish% max for both.

I suggest pitting near the middle.

by AAR ABEnstein Fri 8 Mar 2013 - 1:42

Is it only the United States that is changing to Daylight Saving this weekend? If so, it shouldn't affect this race.

by MOPAR001 Fri 8 Mar 2013 - 2:33

Daylight savings starts on Sunday. So with this race being Saturday, there should be no problem. Cheers

by **LMR DarthMario** Fri 8 Mar 2013 - 2:42

yeppers. by the time this race is over on Saturday for us in the States, it'd only be 9pm EST, and the time change doesn't go into effect until 2am EST/3am EDT

by Guest Fri 8 Mar 2013 - 13:43

Can we PLEASE make sure that all quali and race lobbies are set to private / invite only, to stop anyone joining and causing lag once started, or joining and talking rubbish while racers are concentrating...additionally, drivers, PLEASE do a self check on settings like if TCS is on / off etc. I was guilty of this last year and caused one of the lobby restarts.

Cheers all. Excited!

Hi all. I just wanted to post a quick message for anyone who may have had concerns following last season's TEC.

We have now implemented a new method of measuring the distance between cars. The lead car at the end of each stint will have its distance taken (in miles) and converted to feet. Each car thereafter will have the "gap" distance in feet recorded.

The Live Timing/Results table will show all combined distances in Feet, Miles and Laps.

Sebring "Live Hub" added to website on the link below. Sorry it's a bit late, and a bit "thrown together". I've not been well and had other things to organise/produce.
