(I'm painfully aware that the driver makes the biggest difference!)

Send me a FR i'll see if I can help bud.

Thankyou, sent FR (I think)

oh no
it's currently 9:20 pm, and the race starts (and my first stint) at midnight, and the first yawn has just arrived
thats 4 hours n 40 minutes until i can go to bed (2 am) oh yay

should i just tough it n stay up, or go to bed?

hero it.

yea,
i was thinking of that
2 hours isnt really enough to sleep without being more tired than when i went to bed

go throw a shrimp on the barbie while you wait

You've got 8 hours to do the next stint, so plenty of time to sleep after your 1st stint.

You can do it!!!

yea, i've gone 65 hours without sleep before, so i recon only 4 n a half extra from now wont hurt
as long as there's some talk in the lobby lol

Just wanted to take this opportunity to publicly express my gratitude towards ONR Python and ONR Flawluzz for NOT returning several messages over the past week from myself and Trash, and for NOT holding up their commitments.
Finally I would like to thank them for waisting myself, and IRT Trashs' time along with every TORA staff member time who spent the time to type their worthless [Censored] names on any kind of "document".

Spoiler:

Good luck to everyone in the race.

Like to say good look to ATR Dan and the rest of my teammates let's try to get to the end boys

i feel you man , on the plus fantastic qualifier lap and im sorry i wasted your time.

Nothing to apologize for Trash.

Does anybody know where my invite is? been waiting for it for almost 15 minutes

well stint 1 is done,
thankfully, after lag made a restart on the warm up lap
dropped a position on start, but got it back, was running 3rd in class, until a lag spike got me and gave me 21% engine wear for a charging gunnerman to over take me with 2 minutes left.
was a great run, hope i didn't spoil anyones run?
thanks to the LMP guys, great communication
and road runner, that was a great battle we had going until i got hit with the first lag spike, but oh well
was great racing by all

Keep Calm & Race On.

Distance calculation seems not correct. For my first stint the live timing lists 1136708 feet = 215.29 miles. However, the game was showing that I already passed the 216 mile marker (which I also told at the end of race). Problem is that you don't consider the mile portion for the leader distance. If the lobby leader is reporting e.g. 220 miles, this could be up to 220.99 miles.

True, but I do like this system because it's definitely better. I doubt we could ever get it perfect without Forza changing their system.

In fact the mile marker ticks over at 0.5 miles, so up to 220.49 would show as 220 for the leader. The distance to everyone behind is accurate no matter the "portion" of a mile the leader is on, therefore the "gap" is still the correct size.

Agreed, better than before but just half-way. There are ways to make it better:
a) lobby leader measures the distance to the next full mile marker, that would be most accurate but could not be done anymore for this event.
b) as we also reported the miles for each driver, you can adjust the distances, i.e. in first stint Motorhead did _at least_ 218.71 miles (EDIT: assuming marker at full miles, with marker at 0.5 miles he did at least 218.21 miles) (otherwise I would not have 216 miles) instead of just 218 miles. From this the distances of other drivers have to be calculated. Same for other lobbies, of course.
