Tora Mighty Mini Series

tora have decided to dip their toe into the forza5 abyss that is multiplayer organised racing by starting off with a mini`s series. i`ve just entered a team so if anyone fancies joining me jump onboard. all info >>> HERE <<<

I'm in Si.

Cant make tonight guys, having to go into work now Very gutted cus after testing i was kinda hoping i'd actually be relatively competitive for a change...was consistently lapping only a second slower than Takumi

Sorry

no worries lou, can`t make it either. just had someone offering me lift home tonight after my surprise party, haha. so guessing i`ll be out tonight   

Hope u had a good surprise party then

carried it on at home, sat outside trying to sober up bit ready for pizza delivery, so many drinks in so little time!

looks like this was complete non starter for most.

Lol, good nite then Wonder how Gaz got on? Hope he didn't have the server issues and had some good races

Answered my own question, just looked at results...looks like Gaz missed it as well Server issues too Gaz?

Didn't get an invite   

Oh Did u get an explanation? You weren't showing as offline again were u?

They said I hadn't signed "in"   

Think they should check their forum, you signed in before aero put up the normal sign in doc and a msg saying 'all those already posted are in, those not posted need to use doc' or did i imagine that?

I know posted the link up and told them it was the 15th post have had no reply as of yet. Nevermind everybody can't be as perfect as is I suppose   

right i`ve signed in. guessing i now have to add cqr aero to my friends so he can invite me to a party so can get in lobby (total forza5 farce!    ). will get lou`s paint this aft and get a couple laps done, any times set yet?

Think times are on the LB Si 1.13.5 for me and think Lou has got a 1.12.9 but I may have made those up times up completely   

They sound somewhere near Gaz Are u able to make it tonight?

Still a maybe atm, should know by 6 if I'm going to make it fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed then Gaz

Quick question for Si...did you get anywhere today on the weird glitching malarkey in lobby races? Must say, its the cleanest ive ever found a public lobby but probably going to make me the worst opponent ever if it happens tonight Think at the first sign of it I will have to quit out

interesting night really. dedicated servers my arse!
managed a 4th (should have been 3rd but lobby lag), 2nd and 7th from 15th. strictly speaking the lap time we were putting in we should locked out the podium in at least the first two races but lady luck certainly wasn`t looking down upon us tonight.
there`s no way tora will be able to run championships as professionally as they did in 4 as 5 just wont allow it and 5`s drivers aren`t up to the standard of 4`s (with me still   )

Forza 5 def not helpful for organised racing Even with lag etc i still had fun tonight...lag/occasional suspect driving damage was not helping mine and others races, but have to say a huge well done/thank you to Aero for listening and reacting and knocking damage off for race 3   
Have to agree though Si...and its quite nice to say this...but def with more luck and less damage Pixel def had the pace for more pts tonight which hopefully we can harvest in the other events
Was a fun night though, and some really good racing at times...def a good start i think for online racing in 5, now to pray to the update gods for our lobby settings back

Well done to all for qualifying for A lobby (was the only lobby but I'm still taking the kudos   ) qualified 2nd with a really flukey lap but ran out of talent cometh race 1.  Race 2 got proper buggered by the lag as tubbi ran into the back of me so had to pit (aero still does not repair in the pits   ) So finished in the back third of the race.  Race 3 started 4th I think but got tangled up with the slower inexperienced drivers (this makes me sound like a prick but we did lap them in the 1st race so think it is justified) but lag was a big problem again.  On a positive note was good to see how to get people in the lobby and that a race series can be done on FM5 although a bit faffy.  Well done all.

anyone racing tonight?

I would like to get in on this mini thing. I had a mini in FM2 that was just unstoppable.

check out the tora website - >>> HERE <<<. apply for a race number, sign up for the championship and then once your race number is confirmed you good to go. any probs adam or any help needed just ask
