Re: TORA 12 Hours of Sebring - General Discussion

by GRT 458Italia on Sun Feb 12, 2012 10:08 am

Ok 2 questions: 1) can someone tell me a good GT time for Sebring? I was running 2:06 and Nick James123 was running 2:06, so what's a good time? And
2) I was wondering in the next few weeks, what's the possibility of running a 'race meet' but just practice. So basically, winter testing (or summer testing for me because I'm melting in the heat). But yea, they're doing/done it for ALMS, so I reckon it'd be good for us to do it as well, just drive around the track, talk with mates and put down some fast lap times...
Ok that's it, all (helpful) replies would be greatly appreciated

what would the chances of having a 'winter testing' session(s) in the coming weeks?

Probably just an agreed upon number (or if you're doing a replica paint, use the number on the actual car)

with the flags of your representative nations and your gamertags.

I did a 2:05.327 in a 458

I also did a 1:45.439 in the Oak-pescarolo arx-01b

Numbers wise I would say just run your TORA numbers, but if you are making a specific replica for the event just use the numer on that. It's a pretty individual event, so numbers aren't a huge deal.

There WILL be mandatory Lygo logos for the cars however, once I get them made. There may be mandatory boxes, however we are still discussing this.

I got some really good pictures of the Oak cars at Petit if you'd like them, general.

unless you want me to do the 2012 (if different)

also, TEC numberboxes. Don't worry, I'm on it

by **CQR Magictap** on Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:21 pm

OMG!!! testing has begun, this FLM09 is horrid to drive. Feels like the rear is heavy and dragging on the floor!!

Managed to go from a 1:54 down to a 1:46.2 so far.....not enjoying our choice so far. Fingers crossed we an balance this beast!

by **lfcnicklfc** on Sun Mar 04, 2012 2:30 pm

Really tempted to do a stint of 2 of this in P1 if anyone needs another driver Smile

by GRT 458Italia on Mon Mar 05, 2012 6:14 am

so, i havent been on recently, is there any practice seesions?

by GLR FACEPALMER on Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:11 pm

Just to clarify, you guys don't go into daylight savings time for another few weeks over in the UK?

The reason I'm asking is because there are a few weeks in the year where the US and UK go off a bit from where they usually are, for example EST is -4 rather than -5. The race takes place in those few weeks I believe, so anybody using their normal math to figure out when their stints are might be off by an hour. Could somebody else think about this and get back to me? I confuse myself some times.

by **SelectiveRogue** on Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:28 pm

LOL we actually go into say light savings on the 25th March.

But this will not have an effect on the race its self due to -

Stint 5 - 10pm to 12am
Stint 6 - 12am to 2am

Are the last stints.

Clocks dont go back until 1.00 am but we would have already started the final stint at 12 so no issue.

was doing abit of testing for this last night fastes time in the r3 ford gt was a 2:05:583

by GLR FACEPALMER on Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:33 pm

Yeah the US goes into daylight saving this coming sunday the 11th, so the race times would be an hour later than normal for US people. Just trying to figure things out for my team, some of us have other races that day we want to try and squeeze in.
