The official TOCA dictionary for n00bs - ToCA9 Version (Mostly Entirely by Carbonox) !
For visually challenged or otherwise just plain retarded people, new additions by Pingu are in bold.
A_johnson: AKA “I drive backwards when I get mad” guy. I actually never got to race him because he got himself banned before my grand entrance. Seems like I missed out on a lot of cool stuff.
Akmuq: The lad who has big words, but no championships. However, he might be dangerous. On a perfect day.
Thus far, he’s displayed some decency by noting Ayrton Senna’s crybaby attitude, as well as having that awesome battle for the win with me at Nürb before the annoying Spurgy kicked in. Akmuq is also known with the pseudonym “SuperLuke”.
Altezza: Thought BMW was dominant? These things in S1 were 1.5 seconds a lap quicker... at Cape Inside. 200kg weight and 10% power barely bought them in line. That's dominance... (information by Furi –
indeed – I wouldn’t post unbiased factual information like some boring scientist)
Arcade draft: Draft was way too strong in S3, hence the name. Nowadays with the better settings, arcade draft won't be missed.
Axman: Possibly the only driver in TOCA history to have been lapped in a race. That was back at Laguna Seca, on S5. Not sure how that really could happen... I’m speechless.
Banter Bus: All aboard Chqr’s Banter Bus! He even attempted to make a joke series out of it, but that probably went all nuts. Never underestimate the awesomeness of TOCA banter!
BMW: The fairly controversial car of S3 that hasn't been seen since. Known to dominate the whole season, leading Sumo and Neljack alone into the championship fight and allowing Dax to take some easy wins too, with only other BMW's as resistance most of the time. Now back with a fatter version looking to annex more poor FWD drivers and Infinitis. Also over-rated.
BMW's stock turbo: A nice little feature on the BMW which Furi thinks makes the BMW faster despite the fact it's been tested
Carbonox: AKA driving god.
Unfortunately even driving gods can’t really do much when the stupid Mazda wears out its tires like a big-arse cement truck on hot sand. S9 plans are unconfirmed, but you should know you have no chance when this person is on the grid with you.
Chqr: Well known troll who also likes to try and race (as well as do NASCAR). Watch out!
He likes Danica for some odd reason. Nasty.
Chrisjohnson93: I don’t know what this guy’s problem is, but he sure likes to wreck people a lot. After his most recent adventure, I'm rather certain that in a real dictionary, he's the definition of "bonehead".
cool_kiwi_12: Got banned for some reason in season 3.
The “some reason” was a good bunch of idiotic moves, such as wrecking the chances of the driving god as often as three times. Apparently he was decent in rainy conditions. Doesn’t mean I’d like him though.
Dano: Another wrecker. Do these types of drivers grow on trees or something? Well, what do you know, after he messed up at Fuji and was banned…
Danosdad: STEVE KICKED IN YO! Too bad his real life racing experience (?) wasn’t quite enough to change Furi’s mind. Or anyone else’s for the matter. It probably just made things worse, duh.
DaxCobra: The guy who likes to moan. Allegedly also the Season 4.2 champion, though in complete sense only a half-champion as the season wasn't completed. Approach with caution.
Moaned his way out of seasons five, six and seven as well. He often used to team up with Neljack, although he was generally outshadowed due to Neljack being much better looking than him. Nowadays Dax hasn’t really been very active in GT5 as he has found a new favorite game that he plays 18 hours a day (the remaining 6 he spends working as a butler). The game is named.................... World of Warcraft. Dax is also noted to have raged at people for not congratulating him even though he took a triple at S4 after being the only driver who arrived at the meeting sober. The only person who has actually congratulated him is Furi, who became impressed after seeing Dax's unusually high WoW level.
Daytona: A track Furi seriously considers for every series, mainly as no skill is involved to getting around it and Furi can sometimes win there.
No wonder Danica got pole there.
DC: NOT DaxCobra, but DisConnected. The full word often gets censored in GT5's chat.
UPDATE: Apparently that no longer happens. Still, it’s more fun to just type “DC” than “disconnect”. Especially if you’re lazy. Usually a result of a poor connection (
Neljack I’m looking at you).
Death By Carbon: A team run by me,
with two appearances and one teams’ championship. We nearly lost it thanks to Neljack skipping races. Hey, buddy, this isn’t WRC, where you can run just the rallies you feel you’re comfortable with.
DK: AKA driftking18594, the one who nicknames his cars Asuka or something similar. Also a 1-and-a-half time champion.
Got a couple of bans for dangerous driving - well, what else is new? Now he’s gotten out of rehab and actually seems to be driving tolerably. I’m surprised, but also kinda glad he didn’t go down the same path as poor Vtec.
DNF: Did Not Finish, in other words either DC'd, ragequitted, or got distracted. In any case, a DNF is worth no points and the last place on the grid for the following race.
Except for GTP_Johny.
DNQ: Did Not Qualify, might be home truth for anyone outside the top 12 who can't get in via the qualifying races.
Despite this, James somehow made it a few times due to a small number of entries.
DNS: Did Not Start. For DNS'ers, the fate is the same as for DNF'ers, even if the reason was a last minute DC (see above).
DSQ: DiSQualified. Either for reckless driving or doing something else stupid, like getting a Johny pole (see below) without yielding. Or having an illegal car. Whichever you prefer.
Even better, try driving backwards and you can even get a red flag! On the minus side, you’ll probably never race in the series again.
Durex: A popular sponsor for many TOCA teams, only to be let down close to the season for various reasons.
The closest we got to a full-time Durex team was my Dodge/Mobil1 series entry, the #56 Martin Durex Jr Racing Dodge.
Factory Support: Also known as a cheap way of getting a third car on your team. "Technical help" my arse.
F1-King-GT: Kind of unknown for many, but well known for those who did Mighty Mini’s at London. Previously mistakenly referred to as male, close investigation has now showed that this person is actually a young girl named Pansy. She became so excited about reaching puberty during the Mini race that she... well, totally messed up. It took about 5 laps to lap her and another 5 laps to get rid of her due to the constant blocking and swerving. Too bad for her that Furi was awake and did the first deed in his life that made sense, by kicking her out.
Four-Wheel Drive: A drivetrain for noob drivers in touring cars, also known as Tombrooks. Saving grace is its wet grip and ability to get out the gravel, not even Tom will be able to beach it this time.
Front-Engined Rear Wheel Drive: A drive-train which is either faster or slower than FF, pick this and you never know how fast you will be.
Furi: Short for Furinkazen. The creator of TOCA who likes to play dirty despite the rules stating otherwise. He likes to play with his own rules despite clear arguments against them, so approach with caution. Also he likes to pick the dominant car whenever he can in order to win 1 race per season, as he often did... until Season 5. And 6.
Right, so S7 actually ended that winless streak... damn. Oh well, Furi’s still keeping TOCA alive so well decently that he’s now known as the father of the FRL family. On another note, he’s known for being the founder of many other things besides FRL, such as the Johanna Long Fanclub (I’m a proud member) and Union of Male Gigglers Who Are Not Ashamed, which consists of two people, him and DaxCobra. He’s also known for grabbing a girl and attempting erotic asphyxiation one night (don’t ask me what that means). For Neljack’s sake, I hope that wasn’t Megan.
Furi'ing tires: Wearing one's tires really quickly. Often used in other series rather than TOCA, because this one had no tire wear, until Season 6 re-introduced it. The name comes from-- well, try to guess.
As a side note, tire wear really sucks.
Furi Logic: A sense of hopefulness that is never quite fulfilled and this is from his latest woman.
Gokartman: The creepiest person in TOCA. Also known as Samantha. Words cannot describe how sick this person truly is. The only thing sicker than him is his connection. If you can complete a race without Kartman lagging, then it probably means you’re dead, because that will only happen in heaven.
GTP_Johny: AKA the TOCA troll, LKWTrailer, RaciGManiac, Ghova,
ForceKahvi (Kahvi means coffee in Finnish as a matter of fact!) and something else too. Won several races but once took people hostage in the NASCAR Trucks lobby, which resulted in him getting kicked out. He later returned as LKWTrailer only to suffer the same fate. (Goodbye!)
Haitch: Also known as A Purchase or Hiatch. The official TOCA Troll, at least for some while.
Hispania - Unfortunate nickname of CALM DAN's Lexus. He was a decent driver, but he had a car that was only good on straights. Wait, thats better than a real Hispania...
International Touring Car Championship: TOCA's first name, lasted for a day before everyone realized the majority here were from Great Britain and Ireland.
James6653: The slowest man who ever lived. 9 seconds down... at Laguna in the fastest car in the field. Showed his team management skills by firing drivers before they even showed up... Wait, maybe thats why he fired them, they were going to show up.
And let’s not forget his Truck adventures. OK, that would be just painful to read, so I won’t comment on it any more than this.
Jamie: That's a name for fast people, Jamie-C and Jamie_STEEZ.
Johny pole: A pole position gained in a reverse grid event by having a DNS or DNF in the previous race. Nowadays frowned upon and prohibited. Just try to guess where the name comes from.
Madrid Mini: AKA 'That ****** little track'- A quite fun track with turn 1 wide enough for one car, Furi attended this event. RIP to the Spanish Nation.
Mazda-Honda rivalry:
A rivarly that really heated up thanks to me and Akmuq as early as S2. Unfortunately the cars never really fought each other for wins and championships until TOCA Legends, where Akmuq won with the Honda due to a bunch of lucky runs along with the fact my Mazda had even worse tire wear than the Honda. In the main TOCA series, well, sometimes the Mazda has thrived, sometimes the Honda. There just isn’t much of a rivalry though, with the original perpetrators gone.
Meganes: The support series for Season 3. Me and neljack won the championship despite a controversial final race incident involving lag.
🤬 you, Nel.
Neljack: The one who always finishes 2nd or 3rd. Be it races or full championships. Well, except for that one FIA GT1 season.
And the Swift season. Actually won the title without winning a race... talk about patheticness. We had high expectations in TOCA S5 after teaming up, but obviously he didn’t bother showing up for half the races, nearly costing the teams’ title. However he loves V-Specs, and he also loves Alfie and Charlie.
Paulmac2k9: Jason Plato's GTP account. Known for complaining about everything yet having a point, but no one notices as he complains. Considered Dax Cobra's role model. Also a very quick test driver and tuner.
Penguin: Everyone's favorite animal in TOCA. Who doesn't love a friendly neighborhood penguin?!
Ranhammer: The best lapped down car in the world. Sure he’s slow, but... something about him is... just too awesome.
RPM: Furi's own team, previously known as MRT (Season 3) and FTR (Season 4). They won the teams' championship under the MRT name, but after akmuq left them, TomBrooks replaced him afterwards. Considering Furi's reputation, the team might have been though to have had difficulties with getting another title, but signing defending champion Spurgy for Season 6 proved otherwise .
Just 🤬 off, RPM. You need alien drivers to win championships, happy now?
Scaniabebe: The man who dealt the Senna quote in the wrong place in the wrong time. Sorry, mate, I’m sure everyone in TOCA respects a more NASCAR-like approach to pack racing.
Spurgy: Hi alien. Three seasons in TOCA, three championships. I’ll take back what I said in the F1-King-GT section. Kicking out Spurgy was another senseful thing Furi did in his life. It really got nasty when he was about a second faster than everyone when tire wear got included in S6.
Sumo: The Season 3 champion who hasn't been seen recently. Pretty much dominated the field that season, although there's a good excuse for that too - the BMW. Won on a one-off in ~shock~ a FWD Volvo in S5 at Spa, and decided to come back in ~shock~ a BMW for S6.
Suzuki Swift: Note to Furi, a car that has much less HP stock than the TOCA machines doesn’t usually compete properly in the series. Just leave the Swift alone, it’s better in the one-make series.
Tiebreaker: A word that Furi should learn. When two or more drivers are tied in points, the one with a better single race finish is put ahead. If it's the same, the quantity of those finishes decides it, and if they are the same too, the 2nd, 3rd etc. best finish decides the outcome.
Now Furi made up a rule that the guy who finished higher In the previous event actually gets the higher position in case of a tie. WHAT THE LIVING HELL, MAY I ASK?!
TOCA Dog: Neljack's dog named Charlie. Likes to get Neljack's attention in the middle of a race. Also likely to get a promotion to Chief Steward due to his activeness.
TOCA Ghost: Not much is known about him, but apparently he appeared during a testing session. According to Neljack, his name could be Johnny. We don't know how TOCA Ghost is associated with GTP_Johny, but if you feel you're being watched, be careful - it might be him.
TOCA Poet: Yeah, I’m not just the penguin anymore, but also the poet. Just look at the section below to see why. (It was an accidental rhyme, but point stands!) Apparently Fox has done poetry in the past as well. Now that’s what I’d call sweet.
Trollvo: No, there’s no Volvo, just the Trollvo. A car that even I have once driven in MrMoody’s ITCC. In TOCA, it’s apparently been way too fast sometime in the past. (I made a rhyme again! That reminds me, I should add a section just above this one...
Twissy: Another alien replacing Spurgy. Unfortunately he thought he was above the rules and decided to run ABS at 10. Whether it helps or not, he was outta here. This even created what became known as the “Twissy-gate” when some people jumped in his defence, such as DONKEY MULE_9242, but Furi didn’t care. Not one little bit. In fact, Twissy even lost all his points from the season. Pity.
NOT.
VenoMMotorsports: DaxCobra's team that was once equipped by himself, akmuq, and a pair of ba... err, I mean Honda's. They have won many championships, including the TOCA title, but then Neljack was part of the team. After he received a better offer from DBC, akmuq was called in as replacement, but can the team return to success now? Answer turned out to be no due to Akmuq's internet having Leprechauns, Dax with no sponsor, but Dax decided to team up with Sumo for S6.
What do you know, they weren’t really a threat due to Dax quitting. And now they’ve essentially folded.
VTEC: The biggest troll in TOCA history. Known for divebombing, ragequitting when he was accidentally hit off, and never winning a race properly. Got banned after the Tsukuba round in S3, where he mistook the other drivers as actors for the new film "The VTEC Tsukuba Massacre". The damage caused by him was so severe that he got sent off immediately and had to pay large sums to fix everyone's car and the damaged sections of the track as well.
VW: Too fast. And Now too slow.
