I will not be racing tonight. I will be out of town.
See you next week.

Have fun Tom, we will miss you!

EZT Neo 45 I have managed a 2:14 but but not consistently! 


I do look forward to racing with you all tonight tho..

Literally have been unable to run at all for this over the last week. Going to hit the track in a little while and see what I have. Due to this severe cold I'm fighting, I may not be on my A game tonight though.
 And glad you decided to join us season, looking forward to having you with us!

Dang looks like a good crowd, but i’m not going to be able to race tonight, it has been a long week and i’m choosing sleep, hah!  These do get done pretty darn late though for an east-coast old-timer like me!

Xbox Live is having issues at the moment. Signing in is a challenge.

I been trying to Sign in for that past hour and nothing

Confirmed. The notice from Xbox live was posted early this afternoon. Should have been fixed by now. Going to try a modem/router reset.

Seeing complaints in the TORA discord as well

After more than a hour trying to get online I will give up, also my friend in Spain he have the same problem.

Yeah, still no luck here either.

This must be a sporadic thing. I was able to get on back around 7 PM Eastern. The last update was around 1:12 PM. I assume that is Pacific time since Microsoft is on the Left Coast. I rebooted our router around 8:30 PM Eastern and have not been able to get on since.

I think the race should be postponed until next week.

Agreed

Thank you for the update,  See you all next week!

BTW, I meant to ask earlier, is qualifying at night too?

Affirmative

Running low 2:09's consistently with splits for high to mid 2:08's if I actually paid attention to my cornering! LOL  It's very easy to make mistakes at this track, one bad corner can easily set you back .5 secs.

My best so far is a 2:15.1 in night practice, with Heuy'e tune.

@ Mako: can you share your tune for the 2018 Audi Sport RS 3LMS?

UH Oh, with a calculator tune I managed a 2:11.015. 

With practice and a calculator Tune I managed a 2:11.015

Crap I been doing my test day time, and just now I learn is NIGHT time LOL.

Pretty sure I did, but I'll check again in the morning.

For anyone interested, I've shared an updated tune for the Audi. Type EZT TC1 in the description field. Sadly, I was only able to squeeze mid 2:10"s out of it. The Merc is just a bit quicker on the straights. It handles very well and should be competitive though.

Also, I strongly urge you all to do some practice pit stops. It's highly difficult on this track, especially at night. Screw it up and you'll hit the pit wall which will seriously set you back!

Since the race was moved back, guess I’ll do some racing.

I used Mako's tune last night and was able to get in the 2:11's.
Pretty good racing in the dark last night.

That was a blast. Did anybody snag the replay? Mine 'failed to download'.
