T8CA: Pre Season & Reveal - INCOMING TODAY + TEST TONIGHT

[Furinkazen]

You guys may have noticed I have been not as active on GTP or rather, involved with my series of late. Personal life has caught up immensely these past few weeks and so I will be slowly pulling plugs on the TOCA & FRL umbrella over the next few months should things continue as they are.

But one thing I can confirm is TOCA8 - or as I am going to refer to it: T8CA (see what I did there, witty eh? No? awww....). After my little trip to Italy, the full launch will be done. This thread is open early (even by my standards) as I won't be on GTP those two weeks.

So for T8CA what can be expected?

~The old 8 week, 3 race format will remain for the season. No need to break a trademark of the TOCA Series.

~There are going to be 8 manufacturers again. But I can confirm Suzuki won't be back.

~Calendar should remain mostly the same, Autumn Ring out however, Grand Valley East Reverse in. Also ONE more even is likely to be dropped.

~There is ONE key change this season, which will be documented and profiled.


So any other questions, comments, suggestions?

Doors open to all of you, past and present to drop in and give your opinions and advice. Lets get's TOCA's final era off to a flying start!

Nordschleife? No.

More chance of Le Mans getting in really. I wouldn't mind a return to La Sarthe.

Awwh ok :-(

Whilst I love the Nurburgring Nordschleife, it is not suited to this racing.

Best of luck with the season 8, I may make the odd show, but S7 is my last full time drive in TOCA 👍

Good luck with whatever your going to do. Its been nice being in a team with you:-).

Neither the Nordschleife, nor Le Mans is really suited for this series. Le Mans just emphasizes any disparity in top speeds and the Nordschleife is just too narrow for people trying to go three wide into a corner. No offense to anyone in particular.

I would STRONGLY suggest going back to Racing Hards, if the race length stays as it is, because it makes balancing the cars much easier. Quite some of this season's controversy comes from the fact that tyre wear is much more of a factor and what is fairly balanced at the beginning of the race, is not in the end.

I agree that it has been a major talking point, at same time however RWD's have had some tyre wear as well. It's made races more of a test and put more emphasis on set up and tuning - a slower driver with a better set up can come good in the end.

Yeah, cause it was such a success in Season 4.

Grand Valley East definitely in. Le Mans is still some way down the list of possible tracks.

[Carbonox]

T8CA? Seriously?

You didn't use 7oCA, but you're willing to use T8CA now? You know 8 represents B and not O, right?

Blagh to you too!
