Rules and Etiquette: Max Respect at all times to all drivers, please call your lines and make sure that everyone can hear Race Control (Lobby Host) at all times. I don't mind friendly banter, but please don't be screaming everyones ears off all the time.

CTA is a non-contact series, it is expected that some contact may be due to lag and will therefore not be subject to review.

Race Day The lobby will open at 9pm EST. All drivers will receive there lobby invite from there room hosts, if you do not please contact via private message on the site or xbox live so that we can get you sorted as soon as possible. Qualifying itself will take place at 9:15pm, you will be given 5 laps to set your quickest clean lap, if for what ever reason you dirty all your laps then those with clean laps will qualify ahead of you, collisions will be turned off however it is recommended that you leave each other enough room to complete that elusive clean fast lap. At the end of the session please wait at the first corner so that the lobby host can write all times down.

The grid will be sorted during the pace lap, drivers will use this lap to get into there grid position whilst maintaining no contact, drivers will then move into a side by side formation ready for the rolling start, during this time the pole sitter will need to choose inside or out he will also be in control of the start by either a small countdown or a choose a designation point as to when the race may start.

Restarts.

A restart will only happening in the following situations;

  1. The room has been set up wrong.
  2. Someone lags out on the pace lap
  3. Race accident involving 4 or more cars in the opening 2 laps
  4. Any damage on the pace lap

Each Race is expected to last anywhere between 35-50 minutes, some may take 1 hour or more. Once the Race starts, each race will start with a rolling start. The pole winning driver gets his/her choice of what line they start the race from, while Odds will be on the Inside of the first corner and odds on the outside. All Restarts are single file and you can change lanes before the line and pass as long as the green has been called. If you jump the restart you will receive a drive through penalty or a time penalty of the same equivalent.

There will be 1 Mandatory Pit stop during each race between a set lap.

Points System 1st place 20 2nd place 19 3rd place 18 4th place 17 5th place 16 6th place 15 7th place 14 8th place 13 9th place 12 10th place 11 11th place 10 12th place 9

Well last night was fun. We had some changes on the fly which I think added to the challenges. We did a 15 lapper with a 5 lap qualifier for starting order based on finish. I like that idea. Gives people a little break and lets them get their lines down before the racing really starts.

Finishing order was in order of finish

Great time and good racing. Lessons learned ... tires go away quickly when your setup sucks. Mutant likes to distract you on the last lap. Cars in your mirrors are closer then you think!

Results

1st- racerfink

2nd- Cheeto23

Where was everybody? Filled in the field with 11 ai cars, which made for an interesting opening few laps. I had turned the grid to random in anticipation of qualifying, and with just me and Cheeto showing up, we decided to just go straight to the race. Cheeto started 7th, and I started 10th. Cheeto worked his way through cleanly to take the lead by the 2nd lap, while I had some problems with the ai braking in the carousel for no reason, and took a little front end damage.

Halfway through lap two, I caught Cheeto, but his car was stronger coming off the corners, and I thought I was gonna have to sit back and wait. I didn't have to wait long, as his car started getting pretty loose coming out of those same corners. I've tried setting up that Mustang build, and it's definitely a loose car!

Once we settled in, it became a matter of being consistent so we could stay ahead of the ai after we made our mandatory pitstop. Cheeto cut his a little close, and luckily for me, I choose to stay out another lap and put more distance between myself and the ai.

My car was actually better after the stop, and I turned a best of 2:18.9. Would have been better with more cars! Check the build thread for this series, and come on out and play!

I know some of you guys have had some issues with TORA in the past, I can tell you that there's been some shake ups in the officials lately, and I am running the upcoming Vintage Trans Am series as my own pet project.

It starts next Friday, August 29th, at 2PM Pacific/5PM Eastern.

We've got 17 entries at this point, but would love to see some GRM'ers come in and make it a full two lobby field.
