Re: TORA 12 Hours of Sebring - General Discussion

by **Richy59** Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 12:01

It is now in the Rules and Regulations.

Drivers Championship

Each round of the TEC will score towards the overall Drivers Championship. Drivers will gain points for where their Teams finish overall.

Team Championship

Each round of the TEC will score towards the overall Teams Championship. Teams must use the exact same name throughout the entire TEC to continue scoring points. If a Team name change occurs for the next round then this will be classed as a new Team and will not tally up with the previous round. Drivers are not forced to race in the same team for the entire year, they may change out when required. Cars will be effected by the rules below.

Car Choice

Car Choice will be locked-in for Teams over certain events. Sebring and Le Mans will share the same Car List, and a Team that enters into Sebring must use the same Car for Le Mans. Teams may break apart to change cars for Le Mans after Sebring, however this Team will be seen as a new Team and will not be allowed to continue scoring points for the TEC Teams Championship.

Silverstone and Nurburgring will also share the same Car List - albeit different from Sebring and Le Mans - and the same rules will apply. Teams that choose a car for Silverstone must use the same Car for Nurburgring. Teams may break apart to change cars for Nurburgring after Silverstone, however this Team will be seen as a new Team and will not be allowed to continue scoring points for the TEC Teams Championship.

Round 3 will have a free choice of cars as the Car List will be different from either two already set Car Lists.

How come P1 car list got only a few cars Question

by F4H Lotterer Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 12:40

to keep it even last thing we need are several cars running different handicaps

by CQR D4N13L Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 12:43

I would like to ask why the Aston DBR9 still has a 20% power handicap?. If all the other GT cars have now got full power ( gaining back their 15% penalty) the the Aston would now have an extra 5% handicap as it's only getting 10% back.
I'm not moaning, just asking a question.

by F4H Lotterer Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 12:46

it has a 30% handicap in the series , the 20% cap here was just how the numbers added up to keep lap times even.

by **Matt** Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 12:50

Fair doos. Well while we might not have a Bruno Senna in our team I'm sure V-AMR will be on hand to do the brand proud in it's 100th anniversary Smile

We like a challenge Wink

by CQR D4N13L Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 12:53

Can I ask what the lap times run in testing were?

by **Richy59** Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 12:58

All the cars were ranging from the high 2:04s to the mid 2:05s

by F4H bandicoot Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:01

In P1??

by CQR D4N13L Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:01

OK cool. When are sign-ups starting?

by Ax4x Chaddy Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:03

My best time was a 2.04.8 in the lambo and my worse was a 2.05.8 in the 911. The Aston was a mid 05.

by **Richy59** Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:04

Cars were running 1:47s in P1 - but with some tuning we are looking at the 1:46s we think.

Sign Ups open on the 22nd.

by Ax4x Chaddy Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:04

P1 times were in the 47s/48s

by Adder 020 Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:07

Panoz p1 is too fast?smaller tyres maybe?
Didnt test a car at all, so I dont know, just wondering.

Btw, thanks for delaying registration till the 22nd, really appreciate it.

by **Richy59** Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:08

Panoz was never considered as it is an old Prototype car.

by F4H Lotterer Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:10

yeah the car list was kept as modern as possible with the cars we have available on forza.

by F4H bandicoot Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:29

Build or PI is wrong for the 1b. To get to 988 you need 350's on the rear.

by Ax4x Chaddy Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:35

you sure? I fitted it in maybe use lighter rims?

have asked question could of been mistake will confirm asap

by Adder 020 Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:40

ok, I really dont want to start a discussion about this ( not worth it), but the M3 is also old?
And to get a bit more choice in P1, maybe the "oldies"(not only panoz but even maybe the old Audis)could be considered?

Again, it's not to start a discussion it is just a suggestion.

by F4H Lotterer Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:40

m3 is in because the z4 cant be.

by F4H bandicoot Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:44

This appears to be the case, however I could take this a stage further, use heavier rims and be able to get 350 width tires and 988 PI and it's highly likely that no one would notice, if the car needs rims, which is probably the case, the rim needs to be in the build, so that it's super easy to check if someone is cheating.

by F4H Lotterer Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 13:45

no it is stock rims

by F4H bandicoot Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 14:07

Lola Honda comes out at 991 without rims too I believe.

by LastNewtStandin Sat 9 Feb 2013 - 14:18

Early testing in a ZR1 and 2.06 flats.
Not bad for me, feel more like im pushing my normal pace unlike the TGT Merc Very Happy

Really pumped for this!
