I have an issue. For this being my first TORA race, no disrespect intended but I am absolutely disgusted by the way things were conducted. I have a great amount of races under my belt in various different leagues and came to expect this competition to by "above the bar" in terms of structural integrity and race officiating. I did not run into problems with my room, the host was actually very inviting and respectfully professional. Adam I believe was his name. Good job. The things I did not like were the fact that the room was not locked so a good 6 to 8 people joined and quit, spectating and talking in the lobby while we were racing. I then got off after my stint and went on about my day with a pretty good vibe. I returned to XBL to find some very shocking news. It seems that my teammate had started his stint after mine and within the first ten minutes, HIT A PARKED CAR!!!! WHAT???? Ya he totaled his car and nothing was said or done by the officials. He was then hit off the track a few more times by the same driver who was going off, coming back on and wiping him out again and again. I wont mention any names but when I heard this I was appalled. It was to my understanding that under 10 minutes into the race if a car has more than a certain % of damage because of a wreck there is to be a restart. Is this not correct? I just don't understand why nothing was said or done? Is it because it was the lower lobby? Or was their favoritism being played for the guys out front not wanting a restart? Just curious as if a protest is possible or do I just delete my account on TORA and not race here anymore? Not to be too blunt but this just got my blood boiling. Thanks

You can protest, but we need details. There are no restarts in the TEC as its an endurance race, however if someone was deliberately taking people out and driving badly then please tell us who it was and what was happening.

If i get one ill send you one mate

Lobby B is 30 mins behind, and the host is double stinting. To speed things up, you could get everyone into a lobby to wait and be together for when Blackhawk is finished.

So why was there a restart in my room? I was 500 feet ahead of my class and was told to quit out twice...

Hmmm, well I've only put in the information I was given. It's all formula driven based on distance from the lobby leader so the distance given for you was obviously greater than that for Chris. I'll double check Cain's PM.

Er, according to Cain's PM, Chris finished in 2nd, you finished 5th....

That result was wrong. I was behind GundaM, and ahead of Chris. Hoping that ManeatingBrick and GundaM will back me up on this, as they should know they were 2nd and 3rd in that lobby. I think that Cain may have forgot an "0" between the two 1s, as in "-101,xxx"

Restarts should only occur if the lobby has a technical issue (like wrong grid, wrong distance etc) and not because of crashes in the TEC. Sorry if this wasn't communicated, I take full responsibility.

My understanding is that the lobbies should be set to private. I think some hosts may have set it to public so people in the lobby can join without an invite if they needed.

It seems that my teammate had started his stint after mine and within the first ten minutes, HIT A PARKED CAR!!!! WHAT???? Ya he totaled his car and nothing was said or done by the officials.

There's nothing they can do... In a huge 12hr race like this it would be unfeasible for the Stewards to looking into every possible steward inquiry if they were submitted. The host can't do anything either, they cannot "punish" a driver and they cannot restart mid-race as it would cause a massive delay.

He was then hit off the track a few more times by the same driver who was going off, coming back on and wiping him out again and again. I wont mention any names but when I heard this I was appalled.

Then you should name names to the host, stewards or staff. That is indeed unacceptable track behaviour and should be looked into if possible. It may also be lag, as it does have the same effect when it is severe.

It was to my understanding that under 10 minutes into the race if a car has more than a certain % of damage because of a wreck there is to be a restart. Is this not correct?

That is incorrect. In a regular race, if two or more drivers are involved in a collision then the host may decide whether or not a restart is needed (this does of course depend on how far through the race they are; any further than a lap or two and it is unnecessary). As previously stated, these endurance stints cannot be restarted anyway, as it would cause a massive disruption.

I just don't understand why nothing was said or done? Is it because it was the lower lobby? Or was their favoritism being played for the guys out front not wanting a restart? Just curious as if a protest is possible or do I just delete my account on TORA and not race here anymore? Not to be too blunt but this just got my blood boiling. Thanks

If a driver is involved in an accident then they should announce it if they want something done about it. But like I said, in these particular events, not much can be done.

Frankly, this happens to a lot of people. Sh!t happens I'm afraid. In my stints I had some bumps that cost me a position or two.

Ok cool, I will relay this information but I am not sure that our driver has the replay, is it available from the host of the room? Not trying to start off on a bad note but its got a salty taste in my mouth. It would be room D, Stint 4

by **CQR Rogue** Sun 10 Mar 2013 - 0:16

Hey dude,

Yea put down lobby host no problem lets make it official and get stewards to look into it not on for drivers to be taken out like this shocking, I am sorry you experienced this, really majority of the drivers behave themselves.

by KickRocks29 Sun 10 Mar 2013 - 0:21

Ok well seeing that I wasn't in the room, can I still fill out the form for my teammate? I am going off of what was explained to me, I have not seen it myself as there is no replay to view.
