So what I did,  was take the gearbox settings and stuck em on a build I had,  lengthened the final drive a bit and now the scooby flies. thanks again Chris
Don't worry Dan your 37.8 is quicker...

Gift it over then Paul ;-)

Done

Need to thank super Si for the tune low to mid 37's

Nope, have i missed the deadline?

got till 7 tonight to sign in.

Chris did say last night they are getting stricter on sign in so if you are racing make sure you sign in before 7

Done, just got to make sure i don't forget again

Should have gave up at the first attempt, but once I was in, there was lots of voices cutting out, you knew it was gonna be laggy! but before the racing got started, the little man starting having a coughing fit, the misses was stressed and tired about it, but his cough was scary, so it was all a little stressful in the  caravan, so had to leave, gutted especially after the practice I put in!!!!!

Hope he's ok Paul.

Fine now mate, he's fast asleep, but you would think he was smoking 60 a day with this cough, he's only 3!!!

Have to say I had good fun tonight in f lobby was some good battles. Managed 3rd, 2nd, 3rd and in the last race managed to land the below pic back on 4 wheels and stay ahead of the two guys behind me!

Glad he's ok Paul.

Great pic GT, but do think that Scooby needs stabilisers  

Best nights TORA racing this season for me last night, not the greatest results but good close fair racing.

Here's the youtube footage from silverstone

Dan gets mentioned at 21:10 with me and Paul also in the footage....

Me, Paul and Dan are again shown at 38:26

And again at 56:36.....

Great shout Cobra. Thanks for the link and for sifting through all the footage to find us all. My triple win actually got me mentioned on TV.     ... although they did pronounce my surname wrong  

The intro. they used actually almost makes it sound semi-professional and appealing.

Sign in open

How did this go on Tuesday? Completely forgot about it

first two races were bit boring for me, quallied low in the lobby and basically just tootled around at the back with no where to pass. third race was 2nd or 3rd on grid and got a cracking start leaving most of the field behind and bringing gaz with me. think we were 2nd and 3rd after lap then the "faster" guys at the back decided to wipe each other out and of course this can`t happen so a restart was called for   second start was a mess as i couldn`t hear the time being called due to voice lag so jump started, stopped and by time knew what had happened everyone was racing past me   loads of lag in the third race from one person seemed to be affecting the lobby, was three abreast between me, gaz and a respectable driver but a lag spike took me and the other driver out so that was the usual diabolical race 3 living up to it`s rep.
heard someone moaning in race three reverse grid something along the lines that it`s always a bad race because the faster drivers get held up by the slower drivers and the slower drivers take the faster ones out, what a ****. whoever made that comment i consider are the ones that really ruin online racing with their pathetic ego trips. was going to say something in the lobby but was so fed up couldn`t be bothered.

all in all not too bad a season. the cars clearly aren`t balanced as it must be half the car choices where actually used and some that were picked were quite clearly the fastest overall package. not easy to do though, i know. the biggest problem this season was the "faster" drivers and their egos, constantly being impatient, hardly ever making a clean pass and always bitching about something. may be good hot lappers but most can`t race to save their life! they ruin the racing at tora and the fact it`s all kicked off towards the end just shows it`s not about racing and having fun it`s about egos and winning at all cost.

Been reading the TORA forum and seems something pretty major went on in A lobby and lots of si's from Haydo against the CQR boys. Were they doing a bit a dirty tactics to ensure one of them won?

don`t know but i think they all seem to forget it`s just a game!
