Some people need to stay of the internetz after they have just completed a late stint....

I think I'm now allergic to Sebring. Having to race 7 hours in two different series on the same day. Sleep

I was so drained by the end of it and then to spectate your teammate on the livestream, it's tense!

really enjoyed yesterdays racing same as the N8 last year. My lobby host ShrinkingSteven was faultless, the lobby was all set to go on the hour mark both times but had to wait for the other lobby to finish because people were double stinting which causes so much delay

i think for the next round double stinting should not be allowed because of the delays it causes Cheers

welldone tora looking forward to the next round flower

In the end , XBR Maddog and myself were the only ones to do 213 miles which was enough to get on the podium. i wonder what if i hadnt got that 48 rear 6 % side damage that was given to me just after halfway... well well never know. I was quite pissed at that moment i took the damage because it was totally unnecessary as the guy i was passing was lapped for a 2nd time.. ah well 2nd place

This is so unexpected, didnt seem like it at all before the weekend and after quali.
And of course couldnt have done this without my teammates CRa Racert and CRA Elijah. Both drove very consistent
Special thanks to Elijah for making the nice paintjob and for being so consistent and driving an excellent 5th stint, which increased our chances for a podium.

Im very proud and looking forward to Lemans.

greetings and congrats to the winners.

Modafaya, Cra Team 3 Ford GT

Thanks mate, means a lot, glad I could contribute.. I'm really happy with that Very Happy

You had plenty of room to get through cleanly, I couldn't go any further offline safely. Therefore, the rest of the onus is on you to get past me safely. I damn well moved to the side, same as Peader did. If you couldn't get past me there safely, you shouldn't have tried.

I had 80% rear damage, I could not take a wider line without crashing.

Watched the replay, Smithy hit me, the Porsche crash was probably due to lag.

There isn't a proper line in that corner. You can take lots of different lines and still be quick. Mostly depends on the car and tune, but also driver. Some drivers prefer different lines through that corner.

by Velox Midget Sun 10 Mar 2013 - 10:30

He would have had to make a sharp right turn to carry his line off. His line was also always going to drive him into me, given how far out I was, his line was the wrong one.

I do understand why some people want the double-stinting gone, but I think that would be incredibly detrimental to the series. I for one am faster in my second stint if I double stint, and not having that option would make me completely flag Le Mans

I got screwed over with 15 mins to go which also screwed over Steve. Really not impressed

by CreamyTastey Sun 10 Mar 2013 - 11:36

If double stinting goes then I wont be racing the TEC agian this year.

by xVampirAx Sun 10 Mar 2013 - 11:36

sorry to those who had to put up with the lag i had(*it seems parents dont turn off their laptops) but it didnt help that it was a free weekend for silver users. i think i did ok in my stints and im hoping the car finished in the top 10 and not outside the top10. im not sure if im going to do le mans but i will give it some time to mull it over.

by CQR D4N13L Sun 10 Mar 2013 - 11:44

Thank you to TORA for running and live-streaming this event, was great fun to be part of even if things didn't run as smoothly for the Aston as I hoped. Never mind though, there's always Le Mans. Still I had an amazing battle with F4H Koenigsegg for 20 minutes in stint 1 and then an epic stint in stint 3, so happy with my drives.
Also thank you to XPR Roadrunner for helping get Lobby A stint 3 sorted, was my first time hosting a major event ever, lol. Sorry for the delay in the stint 3 start, we needed to get the finishing order from stint 2.

by BG Wingnut396 Sun 10 Mar 2013 - 11:54

Enjoyed my first TEC ENdurance race was a great experience but still have to say was really scared when those god damn LMPs came up behind me which I can say on my stints hats off to those driving the LMPs for great calling even though not mentioning no names (deftone) for not knowing their left and right lol
But all in all great racing and organisation from the staff great job
