TORA GT300 Discussion

Friday Nights. Midnight GMT, 7PM EST US, 4 PM PST US, Sat AM Au



The Cars:
#77 Subaru Imprezza

#3 and #46 Nissan Fairlady Z


Discuss...

I will go ahead and let some details out:

Braking Line Assist and TCS will be permitted. I have heard some say that they may be more accident prone without, and these cars are much more high tech than a Miata... so it is allowed this time around.

Tuning and Upgrades will be forced OFF to minimize extensive test and tune time. With TCC, GT and Sebring taking up much time, these cars are relatively low maintenance.

Cosmetic Damage to minimize Lag related damage and the need for restarts.

No Qualifying. First 16 to sign "In" get to race. Sign in will open each Tuesday at a yet to be specified time. This, along with a reduction of restarts, will help speed up the whole program immensely.

Three races on three circuit variants each week. This adds a twist to the event by utilizing everything that each facility has to offer from tight short tracks to high speed sweeping Grand Prix courses.

Nice Mikey!

Line on is a great choice bud

Hope that this series doesn't attract too much attention, and that the someteen that jump in have some serious fun.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Hope the races are as close as the testing we did tonight.

What are the car choices?

I think you should reserve sign-up spots for championship contenders just to make it fair for them.

This could be good fun now I have reason to finish up my JGTC Subaru lol

Great idea. Now I have to figure out how many should be "locked in" to each race.

I should also allow for two-four alternates each week to fill in for those that sign in and aren't around come race day. IMO, it would suck for someone to miss the first 16 only to have a few people who sign in not show up.

I would say Top 8 should be reserved.

Since we are using a locked in and smaller field of 16, I am contemplating using either the F1 point structure or a very simple 16-to-1 system.

16 to 1.

I thought in F1 only the top 6 score points?

If not, if you wanna do reserve slots for 8. Only top 8 score points, and then the top 8 in points get the reserved slots?

The top 8 drivers that were able to win the championship would be given a reserve slot. If a win scored 16 points, every driver that was 16 points behind would be given a reserve slot. If there were more than 8 drivers that were eligible, then only the top 8 would be given a reserved slot.

You still in the 90's soundwave?! F1 changed to 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 then to the current 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. The top 6 scoring is well outdated :-)

Yeah I don't follow it like I used to haha

Bandit- what you said made no sense to me haha as this is a new series, what prior championship are you referring too?

I still think doing a Top 8 score points would really make the races interesting; from 1st to an 8 way battle for 8th lol

I meant the current points.

Soundwave, I think what Bandit meant was starting with Round 2 have the top 8 in points locked in.

And for points, either the simple 16 to 1 or the 2000s F1 system: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1

I like the 16 to 1 system. Points is closer when everyone gets points.

Oh haha ok but cool. Lets do this!

These cars are a bit quicker than the Miatas, and with the default tunes. just as evenly matched.

Hi all,

I'm new to this hope hoping to compete in my first event.

I like the sound of this and I like the cars too. Working on my livery.

^ Other than the odd start time (late in the UK/early in the US) I try to set up these Friday series to be a great place to start your TORA racing career.

Being either a spec build or in this case a default tune, it ensures that everyone has the same car and nobody has an advantage or disadvantage via tuning ability.

i might do this, if i can, i'd like to, so i'll try
