Looks like some of those guys numbered 1-12 didn't finish top 12 last season along with multiple people in the top 12 who didn't sign up this year. Is that still correct @Furinkazen

After a championship victory in the VRR Autobacs SuperGT Season 4 GT300 class, Genki Racing Project has announced that they will be fielding a part-time entry in ToCA15, running as an independent team with manufacturer Hyundai.
"The limited schedule we are running is due in part to prior racing commitments. As much as the team would love to run the full schedule, there just isn't the time for us to do so. We are grateful that Hyundai has re-entered ToCA, and we hope to be able to provide good results for them in the races we partake in. " - WeatherSystems, Team Owner/Driver
Weider has signed on as the primary sponsor along with longtime team associate Logitech, providing most of the funds needed to run the season. Other associate sponsors include RAYS and Takata, who helped fuel GRP's GT300 title run. While the lack of wins in competition is a bit of a negative point against the team, the consistency and ability to keep the car on the road that helped GRP win a championship will be useful in this season of ToCA.
TL;DR:
Primary Sponsors: Weider, Logitech, Hewlett-Packard
Associate Sponsors: RAYS, Philips, Takata, Bridgestone, Motul, NGK, Pitwork

Alright. Under 7 days to go. Let's sort this out.
Firstly - Friday. ToCA Media Night. Traditional final Pre-Season test plus a photoshoot. You don't have to participate in both sessions, dip in and out if you want. I'm aware timing might be a tad sketchy for the American contingent but we'll have enough people to fill a lobby I reckon.
Update on the session format. Some small adjustments including continuation of the Warm-Up lobbies trialed end of last season, and some minor session time adjustments. As mentioned, Qualifying 1 is for drivers outside Top #12 in points. Top #4 in a timed Q1 progress. Extra spots may open for any T12 drivers who cannot make it.
I appreciate for DNQ drivers it may be a little disheartening not Qualifying. A driver who DNQ will still receive 3 points overall (Equivalent to 3x 15th place finishes). If a driver who does not DNQ is Independent, they will receive 2 out of 3 points based on their placing in Q1. Example below.
Pts system for all drivers championships is still 20-17-15-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
At the moment for R1 there are 7 Independents locked in the field.
Q1 results may be as follows:
1 - Connor
2 - Moleman (INDEPENDENT)
3 - GTPorsche (INDEPENDENT)
4 - Polar
5 - Weathersystems DNQ (INDEPENDENT)
6 - Enforcer DNQ (INDEPENDENT)
Here, 2 Independents Qualify, there are therefore 9 Independents in the field for the races. The first DNQ Independent (Weathersystems) would be treated as 10th place and receive 2x lots of 10th place points in Independents (6pts, so 12 for Independents for that weekend.)
You guys in full teams - no issue with getting drivers to join / race a weekend one of your team members cannot make it. Just as long as I know and the car is prepared and ready before Q1, that's fine.
Independents - at moment a lot of you - no issue with forming teams for the season at any time. However if you're signed in a team next weekend, you can't "leave" the team - this can be abused by drivers as a way of switching cars (which is technically not allowed).
I operate a "three strikes you're out" policy when it comes to no-shows. If you go AFK without explanation for 3 consecutive weeks you're removed from the standings. If you let me know however you will be absent, no problems.
Also in case you aren't there or active, my FRC Discord channel has a full FRL Voice channel. Link in OP. Make sure you have sent a PSN friend request as well.

Come on! It's easy to understand, it clearly says that a driver who does not does not qualify will still receive 3 points...

Except you missed one and also didn't fix the DNQs getting more points than 16th place.

That's not something to fix, and before anyone starts has been in place since GT6.

Not if you come 16th.
So... DNQing is better than finishing last, correct?

Yes, because Furi insists on using BTCC points system for top 15 meant for like 30 cars and not 16 as well as giving DNQs points.

In S13, DK DNQed for a race and got so many points for doing so that he was locked in the field for the next week.

Yea if there are very few independent entries, you can be an independent and fail to qualify and lock yourself in next week. I'm surprised this hasn't happened more, but this season there's only 4 actual teams so it's harder to do that

The way I interpret it is that you only get DNQ independent points where you could jump someone. Being on a team looks like it means you only get 3 points for a DNQ

Ohhhh okay that makes a ton more sense. I'd just give 0 for a DNQ and make it easier. I mean you get a drop round

I know but it's either that or continue complaining about Furi logic!

Let the Furi bashing continue........Oh I agree that that would be a sensible solution and it's been suggested to Furi before but he's always said no which is why we continue to complain about Furi logic.
