FRL~ToCA13 - CONGRATULATION NINNERS, 3-TIME ToCA CHAMPION!Finished

[Spurgy 777]

R1 went well for me, R2 I got hit off on L1 T4, putting me in last, R3 I got hit wide by Chuck on L1 going into 130R which he followed up by smacking me off into the chicane, taking Mole with me, and on L2 Mole hit me off at T1, presumably thinking I was to blame for the chicane incident After being last in R2 and R3 at one point, I'll take 2nd/6th/7th.

I don't think we made any contact into T1 after the chicane, unless lag-related. I thought I timed the pass quite well It wasn't meant to be rude, so apologies if it came across that way, just wanted to get a move on!! I figured it wasn't your fault at the chicane so no probs.

I'm not sure what you saw, I know there was some lag around, but on my screen you just divebombed into me, I'll upload it in a bit and show you

 

[Furinkazen]

Bring on Nurburgring I say.

Also going to cut down on people taking entries up.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Nurb should be similar to Suzuka, Audi's will excel in the twisties, but there are also some long straights and fast corners where the Mazda is pretty good.

Ok 👍

I just watched it back and there's no contact on my screen. (Your car lags left but I don't actually touch you..) - You brake at 100 but I regularly brake at 50 so I took the opportunity to go inside. It's a late move yes but I make the corner without making contact and on the exit I even leave much more than a cars width, so there is room for us both to go side by side through the corner. You end up with a wheel on the astro turf and spin, but doesn't look to me as if that was as a result of my move. You could have just defended a little bit

Audi will be excellent in S1 but probably shocking in S2 and especially S3.

If previous seasons are anything to go by, then it's a Reno track.

Bear in mind its GP/F this season, not GP/D

 

[Andil]

So even more of a Reno track then

Would love to see an onboard from my car as I had a great start which brought me alongside furi and yera and I was actually slightly ahead before we started braking.

I braked early and got sandwiched between furi and yera which knocked my car sideways (audi has awful braking stability at higher speeds) which sends me into a tankslapper. I end up running into the back of Yera and furi in T1 as they both ran a little wide ahead (yera was leaving room, furi went in quite deep ikr) before getting spun out the the astroturf resulting in a 360 (or close to it atleast).

I had no idea it was that close, I underestimated how much room they needed.

Dat expert avoidance tho

So I watched BTCC for the first time today. Only saw about half a lap of actual BTCC but a good portion of Clios.

I like Tom Grundy.

Suzuka ToCA big one.

Added bonus: Nearly making Furi proud by threading the needle against the pit wall.

Bit of over-zealous blocking on my part but when you got a disadvantage like we do you gotta do what you gotta do.

Actually that moment was after the bottleneck at the end of lap 1 of race 3, got run on Cami and yourself.

Not really a block in my book but I put myself in that spot.

Ah, all I remember is having a ton of FFs on my tail and doing my damndest to keep them there.

You would have seen James Hunt's son in competition then

I'm pretty pleased that I didn't get involved in that turn 1 clusterfrack.

I was really unlucky to be caught out in that. I maybe could have avoided it completely if I'd backed off behind Angel more.

When I was told it was 4 wide, I had no idea it was you there

 

[Furinkazen]

@bdubclub you still around?

R5/7 is Nurburgring next week, but with a difference - GP/F layout.

I'm pleased I was starting ahead of the impending fustercluck myself.

Question is what will Turn 1 at Nurburgring bring?

Tell him he got a new fan yesterday. 👍

I think tbh tyre wear is going to be the big decider Saturday. Even the Audis may struggle.

Audi drivers, you have been mentioned.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Wow.

Wow.

Yeah....
