Break Time is Over

Well, summer is drawing to a close and so it's time to get back to work. Over the holiday the team has been looking at a few possible directions to go down in the future. Potentially, the most interesting event that Doodleco has investigated is the annual 24hrs of Le Mans held on a Local Area Network (LAN) in Denmark. This race has seen a lot of interest as it simulates the full race and all of it's thrills including multi class online racing, live timing, race control, safety cars and a trophy at the end. Ultimatly, this is a key goal for the team and the single player version that we are currently working on is a taster of such action. At the same time, Doodleco is looking to expand into other racing series and we believe that this will be made possible on Forza 4 with the help of The Online Racing Association (TORA). TORA is an organising body for a number of online championships and special events such as MSA GT Championship, Touring Cars, Le Mans (featuring the 24hrs of Le Mans and the 12hrs of Sebring) and coming soon is the Britcar 24hrs at Silverstone. Both of these options will be a huge challenge as we are aware of the time and effort many current drivers have already put in. With this in mind, the team will start planning for such competition and is due to make a formal entry into one of these TORA events over the course of next year.
