MSA TORA ISCC General Discussion

Really good racing in Lobby D other than a bit of shouting and screaming from someone. Clean and fun. ^ Newt I was REALLY struggling to pass you on the straights with that Ford!  

no worries about the change to the tune Newt. everyone has they're own comfort zone. i'll admit, i hadn't completely tuned the understeer out of the Ford before tonight's race, but its not far off.


Finished 2 in A lobby in GTE filling in for Chris. lfcnicklfc lagged out at 29 miles (we were having a nice scrap), and 2 miles later F4H Diablo lag bombed both ONR drivers at Turn 3, ending their races. (Python upped and rage quit, Flawluzz tried to get his car moving again but couldn't) Knob Laggy apparently had a lag incident with XPR Soundwave at Turn 14.
a few drivers' finishing distances are in question ATM (BAR Smurfy in E lobby finishing within 4,000 ft of Takumi.... unlikely), so until everything is final, i'll be holding my breath

Yeah you don't expect a tirade like that from a steward  
I had to pipe up about it after the second bout as it was a mate of mine that joined.
Lobby should have been invite only so no need for him to shout.

All the LMPC cars are about the same on the straight against that ford  
Had to move over a bit to ensure my car survived some of the passes.
I would like to say I moved over quicker for you but honestly I don't know one car from the other when were racing  

Good job keeping it all together Mark, Thanks for filling in for Chris. Wish we had a few more subs so you could cover me for any tracks I Really suck at.
A2 would be awesome!

teams are only allowed 2 subs for the season. so, we've already used one up.

I had an ok race, half way through the race I locked my brake at turn 7 and went in to the back of tweekpunx only got aero damage, the within the last minute of the race tweekpunx caught up to me and we had a small battle within the last minute and I bet him by 12ft

My battle with Motorhead was mint! At one point we came very close to being taken out by Soundwave and Im still shocked that Motorhead stopped in time.

Congrats to Rainone for making A lobby in his first real TORA race! Everyone ran great and I hope you guys had fun!

for a good bit at the beginning it was Knob Laggy, lfcnicklfc, myself and Rainonef1 all within a couple seconds. was crazy close. then pit stops started occuring, and things kinda started spreading out. i managed to leap frog Knob laggy through the first set of pit stops.

Yeah you were flying Mark, excellent run buddy! Did you have fun?

i enjoyed it, but i am kinda looking forward to my Sunday's off from TORA racing while i focus on organizing my TASCAR series. this won't mean i wont continue to help tune the Ford for my MKR guys. if i find time this week after work, i'll be heading off to Road America with both Ford's (my TASCAR Stock car, and the MKR Ford GT mk7)

whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo LMR Corvette Racing 1st in GTE

My lobby are about a lap down so I dont know what happened there.

1st in class and appear to have been passed by E lobby guys for a whole lap?Something is well wrong

Well done guys! Keep up the good work!

haven't had the chance yet to adjust the Sebring tune, but in the lobby you were hosting Collin, i had a clean 2:05.788, but a dirty 2:05.4xx in the next session.

Very strange when a P1 that qualifyed a 1:48 is after lapping a OcR Project who got a 1:46. Hopefully it will be sorted soon as its a bit strange indeed.

Appreciate Collin!  It was a fun, long first race ha.

Damn straight, lets keep it up.

it was you and IRT YT RICE that put us there it had nothing to do with me , they only take the top 2 drivers in the team:) 

Work have me booked in for a sunday shift that runs over the second round, however I have Saturday evening off and already spoken to someone who is willing to swap shifts.

I should be able to do so and race this week, I am waiting for the rota's to be updated so Sunday is my rest day meaning I work the other 6, till then its swapping shifts for the next maybe 2 weeks lol.

Sorry guys but im doing all I can, as I said, *should* be cool to race this Sunday if it all goes smoothly.

It would be great to have you race mate

I'm a bit bitter about losing 5 miles this week over a scoring fiasco. I would have likely been 7 places higher in class and 19 points better off

We could have potentially topped the championship for week one with those points :/

How's practice at Road America going for everyone? Is anybody in need of setup adjustment help?

I'm hoping rice can get another awesome setup going with the vette.

I think the Sebring tune that mario gave me is a good base tune for road America, I got a2:06.5 with it

Try the LeMans tune, if you have it... if not, I can gift it over tonight. Long straights and slow corners......

Sorted for Sunday, I have managed to swap my evening shift so I am able to make it, when is qualifying Mark, same night or on a weekday?

Same night = No probs
Weekday = Today is maybe last chance and I won't be home till 9 latest hopefully

Found a sweet stock LMPC tune that tops 176 on the straight. 1:54's here I come!
