MSA TORA GT World Championship - Endurance Series Round 2 - Twin Ring Motegi - February 10th 7PM GMT

Never got my invite...thats happened more than a few times now...

Lobby lagged out done 38miles. Gutted car felt awesome and was running good laptimes :-(

Thanks to everybody who took part, it was a great race to commentate on.

The lap that put me into Lobby A was a messy one. My final one was looking good with 3 tenths up through the first sector it but I blew it in the middle sector.

Still, managed to get into A Lobby and move forward - admittedly thanks to some connection based contact but hey, I'm not complaining.

fantastic racing guys was a pleasure to watch.

huge thanks to my lobby great racing

Great racing in E Lobby! Finally got my first lobby win in TORA GT ! Kept the car clean throughout the whole entire race. But I ended up paying 30,000 credits worth of damages within the final 15 minutes of the lobby timer !

Great racing in lobby A, well chuffed. Strategy FTW

I want to say sorry to TORA that a couple of CRA members didn't show up as they did say IN.....
The only 1 I knew who wasn't going to show up was FOOKPIG as he sent a meesage to morph that his connection was dead.

Thanks Fook for your message.

Great fun in lobby D tonight, Not a perfect race but made the best of it and chalked up some good miles

Well that was the most fun I've had in Forza! (even so... someone as to come in last [this guy ])

Thanks for a great event, everyone! hunty1981 and I had pretty evenly-matched cars that kept us within one second most of the race until I got caught driving to drive with my rearview mirror and a fast-approaching GT3 car that underestimated my braking zone (sorry).

Nonetheless, still a great event. Thanks again!

great racing guys thanks to the gt3 cars for no stupid moves and hopefully i didnt get in your way as you came past

Great racing in D lobby. Caused myself to miss out on an extra lap by pitting to early 2 times.

Really annoyed I lagged out :/ Was turning out to be a good race

Frustrating sums up my race.
Started 4th but with a Mercedes on my right it wasn't a surprise he got through at the first corner. Ended up in no mans land between Soundwave and Blackbird up until the first pitstop. Just couldn't concentrate with a blocked nose! During the first pitstop this issue was dealt with.
Came out behind Blackbird and spent most of the stint pushing him through corners and losing him on the straight. Just no opportunity to put a successful pass in. Blackbird pitted earlier than me so had a few laps to myself. Came out behind blackbird and Smithy, got past blackbird after his incident and then spent the rest of that section following Smithy in a similar vain to the first section of the race.
Somewhere in this I realise there was another pitstop, but anyway....
Pitted 1 lap before Smithy in the final pitstop I think, but coming out of the second part of the first corner I drifted on the kerbs, span and came milimetres away from the wall. Lost over 1000 feet to Smithy and I was behind Blackbird again. Got past after a few laps and then got past TsaFoot a few after that although I don't think he had any tyres left! Ended up a couple of seconds behind Soundwave and Smithy.
Meh.

Never done one of these before, so was a bit unsure of what to expect, but lobby D was probably the best race I have had, me and TFR Milton and for some parts Morph were never much more than a 1000ftapart for about an hour and a half.. Then pit strategy played a part..

Bt. Loads of fun and definitely wet my appetite for the TEC as compared to the sprint race I found this far more fun.

Lobby C was really close. I'll let the guys tell the story, but it was really good. Pics to follow in media thread.

BTW MGR Ginge, let me know your race mileage or wherever you got to please!

PS I can't believe that I didn't post about AMR's success!!! Congrats to CQR Daniel!! fantastic news too about Chad finishing 7th. Great stuff

Great racing in C Lobby, and a big thanks to ShrinkingSteven for hosting.

Also, just watching the replay on TORA live and some cheeky commentator said, "look at the BG White and Orange car!"
FYI we are the works team this year.... WestCoast Racing. Please brush up on the teams racing next time fellas.

Great work as usual to all the commentary team.

Had fun racing with those in lobby B. Real clean and enjoyable. And congrats to CQR Daniel on the overall win.

Congrats to my Cyber Racing team mate CQR Daniel First Aston Martin win in the GT's since 2009!

Had a stellar qualifying and backed it up come race time. I was easily keeping up with bullet n Chaddy. However, I misread the clock coming to the first pitstops and pitted way to early... Which I payed for in the end, no where near the top 2 n trying my best to fend off Smithy in the final corners of the race.

Smithy on better tires beat me to the line by a few fenders. But overall I'm happy with 4th in B lobby, 13th Overall.

Finally getting the car dialed in and the big, speed tracks are coming up.

Be grateful, I nearly said they had a Yellow colourscheme

I know I didnt name check them straight off at the start, lot of action going on. But I have name checked West Coast in most of the recent live coverages.

+1 Some very close and clean racing early on between the GT4 cars and the GT3 cars were very courteous when lapping the GT4 cars. Aero getting lots of damage from a lag spike was the only unfortunate incident of the night I believe.

Lobby D here, and well, that was my very first TORA race and loved every second of it! Very clean racing from my POV with very minimal lag. It sucks that some players dropped out/lagged out though. Looking forward to racing some more with you guys!

Yes sir, very nice racing. Just glad my pit strat worked in the end.
