I deleted the post cuz I was wrong in both ways, the lack of sleep and last minute excitement had me in the wrong frame of mind.

But you guys did great and are the champions we aim to beat. And admit we were both in the wrong for the attacks after my mistake.

by F4H Hakkinen Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 15:57

Thanks for the response. No hard feelings on my end then

by **CQR Aero** Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 15:58

Well done to everyone for making this another successful event.

No matter the final result, I have a huge respect for those who, despite suffering adversities, soldier on in the true spirit of endurance racing.

Our team was certainly one of these today, and I'd like to thank them for the effort and persistence.

Cheers

well, i had a great time, 3 stints right at ~220miles. i improved on each stint and i didn't wreck anyone or myself. may not be on the podium, but i feel accomplished. see you all at the next round! Hello

by F4H Lotterer Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:02

Congrats to everyone who took part this weekend ,Congrats to the winners and Congrats to the comms team for keeping me entertained.

Now a BIG thanks to all the drivers i shared stints with in A lobby , the P1 drivers were very respectful and patient when passing me so thanks guys i know i cost some of you a few feet through Porsch curves ,the GTE drivers thanks for putting up a great fight you kept me on my toes at all times especially you F4H Insanity as stint 5 was epic battling with you its just a shame we cant see the lap times from these events.

Lastly my boy Mopar Massive respect to you we done what we could stint after stint we were flawless the laps the pit strategy everything was going to plan until the big L hit us , but i guess we can walk away knowing that we ourselves done nothing wrong but luck just wasnt with us this time.

Roll on round 3 of the TEC.

We were out of contention within like 20 minutes Hilarious

but I'm happy for you guys and to retain Le Mans is a great achievement.

Apologies to CQR Neon.

That was a really stupid mistake at the braking for Mulsanne corner. But it felt like your car suddenly stood still in front of me. But, my mistake, no question about it.

I got what I deserved though, I had massive damage thereafter and had to nurse the car the rest of the stint.

That lag out just threw me out completely and having to try make my way through the pack really made it hard work is all. We were going strong up until then Richy so hats off to all 3 of you!

DarthMario I am so sorry man,I felt so bad! I just spent so long without traffic the stint before and I was feeling so tired by that point.

by BG Wumba Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:11

Big thanks to TORA and congrats to the winners, the peer to peer connection luck failed us at the final hurdle, the final stint! Where we looked in contention at the top end, who knows what would have happened.

Oh well, another day another race Razz

by MaynardMK4 Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:13

Are we still waiting on the results from Lobby D's final stints?

**Things you do after you have been spectating the TORA Le Mans for hours on end**

Watching F1 and pick up Xbox controller and start trying to move the camera/car...

No joke, I need some sleep.

If it stands, I'm shocked to see how close the top GTE teams were with miles accumulated. .6 BTW 2nd n 4th wow!

Amazing race, again. On behalf of XPR, thank you tora for all the great work n effort! Congrats and to everyone for competing and keeping it close. Great race, the past 24 hours have been a roller coaster ride, I'm proud of all my guys!

We will see you guys at the next event Smile

by Velox Canadian Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:16

Congrats to F4H on the P1 win, and im not sure who won GT but congrats to you aswell. Wish i could have stuck it out for forzalemans.net but with the driver bailing on us right before he stint left me no time to try and get some sleep. I tried my hardest, but after crashing and losing 25,000ft in the one stint it was hopeless for myself to try and drive 5 stints in a row. Never really had the effect of fatigue set in while playing forza before. I had a great time though, and we will be back. We have shown what we can do with two drivers....next time were bringing 4 Smile

by AAR ABEnstein Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:19

Scoring error: Please place the amount of feet covered in stint 11 by AAR into stint 12.

Otherwise, very good racing (and entertainment through game chat)! If anyone was wondering about AAR stints 10 & 11, corwinkb's alarms did not go off, so he missed the stints, and Smurfy and I were asleep or at work.

Unfortunately, this may have been my last TORA Le Mans because I do not plan on getting FM5. I learned a lot from both the 2012 and 2013 races, and had fun both years.

At least Senna crashed in probably the most spectacular way in his second stint. If you're going to crash the team out of a contention, make it spectacular.

by F4H bandicoot Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:24

Seems to be a few errors with Stint 12 GT's in lobby B Wink

It was annoying man, after my last stint I stayed in the lobby for the replay. And I couldn't get the dang thing to flip.

by **HCR Motorhead** Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:31

Neither could I, I took the Ford chicane almost flat after the distances were taken and I got no air. I took it at 60 and it jumps all over. Perhaps it's downforce or something.

by MaynardMK4 Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:41

Edit -

Never mind... D Lobby's distances were wrong... Been knocked back to 4th Sad

... Still a fantastic result Smile

by HCR Karma Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:43

I think we managed 5th!!

not bad for a c-lobby crew Laughing

by MrRaZzT Sun 30 Jun 2013 - 16:47
