AERO_HDT - No worries mate, I think you will make the deadline, just, as the deadline is 10am UTC, you had just under 12 hours fro your post!!
The replay folders only needs to be zipped cos it is critial that the files structure & name needs to be unmodified.

Godson - Can you attach your replay to a PM?

Mr P - I agree mate, I actually enjoyed the race, despite the AI on lap 1

Preliminary results will be posted ASAP.

Thanks for confirming receipt of the times and replays Tosk 👍

The AI on lap 1 was by far the best part of the race for me finding the clean route past them sneakily and as fast as possible was a great challenge

Congrats to Mr P, davissi & WayneGTC for taking the podium spots & to the guys from PlayStation.com for the best average time.

All of the above results will remain Preliminary until every replay has been reviewed. Please bear with me on this, as it does take some time.

 

[Mr P]

Good to see my lap 1 carried me on that race as I knew the line up was pretty much the best I had found

Congrats to Davissi and Wayne for rounding out the podium places with some solid laptimes .. If my lap 1 was slower it would have been a different story for sure! Also Well done to all drivers who submitted a clean race as it aint easy bustling through the cars on such a tight walled track

Here's a video of my best save that I uploaded to Youtube .. please set your account preference at Youtube to play high quality as the lower quality video is disgustingly bad quality 👎
Cheers guys that was a great race



Cya's in Round 2
Ron.

 

[Kelly]

Good race Tosk Congrats to my other half on his victory and congrats to Davissi and Wayne for completing the podium 👍
Also well done to all those that submitted!

I'm pretty pleased with my result, I only managed 2 clean saves overall, this one being my fastest and most daring at the end of lap 1, how I got away with avoiding the AI I don't know! but it was extremely fun

Looking forward to race 2

 

[WayneGTC]

Congrats to all participants, this was a fun combo.

Respect Mr P for this stunning 1st lap...
My best overall was only 1.07.2x, I had couples of 55.8xx's but never with a good lap 1

Congrats Davissi for the 2nd spot

See you all for next round 👍

PS : Thank you Tosk for making this event

 

[Tosk]

Flinx - Thanks you for letting me know about your wall contact, it is good to see you are as honorable as always. But sadly I will still have to apply the applicable penalty for the incident.
You result will be relegated behind all the other drivers & you will receive no points, sorry my friend

Godson – Mate, if you want an older version of WinZip, let me know & I’ll send you a copy of mine

GTP_MeAgainstYou – As most of the guys have said, the different mix of cars doing the races can be huge, just keep trying until you find a group that works for you. The best group for me had the tuned cap way, way, way off in the front, almost caught him a few times on lap 3, but could never get it clean.

As for questioning other drivers times, if anyone has an issue with a drivers time, please contact me via email or PM. Do not post it in the race threads.

I can personally vouch for Mr P, he has been running in TORC since 2000 and I can say that his abilities on the track are formidable, he has always raced within the rules & never submitted a bad run. I have watched his replays for 8 years, and have been awe struck every time with his precession & speed. The worst thing about Mr P is he makes the rest of us look slow… lol

Glad you guys all liked the race, hope you like race to as much.

 

[Tosk]

Race 2!

 

[Tosk]

ArcFlyer - Yes, paved areas are allowed, I posted that on 2nd of September when Wayne asked.

Finding the right Lineup
There has been a lot of talk about quiting the race to find a better line up. I think the question has been answered, yes you can do it. People have been doing it ever since GT1! For those of you that may not have been aware of this, there is not much that can be done now. Lets just all focus on Race 2.

Duke of Nemesis - 27 out of 66, that 41% of the sign up guys submited a time for race 1. I always get disapointed when that happens, but I am used to it now, as soon as most people see how hard TORC is they just dont bother...

 

[DustDriver]

I already said that I most probably wasn't going to do any races when I submitted a time for the warmup

Just don't like having to search for a good lineup and then race the stupid AI.

But still, congratz on the win Ron 👍

 

[Tosk]

Not a problem DustDriver.
