Good News! The Dacia Sandero...
Three Races, Three Winners
It was TOCA's best weekend in racing last time out in Monza. With three different drivers taking the spoils. Perhaps the biggest surprise though, was the return of TOCA Veteran JB. Who claimed victory at Race 1, which was his first race since Season 2. Race 2 provided some uncertainty as the clouds loomed overhead, the threat of rain never materialised however. Dax took victory by an eye-watering +0.002 in the Mazda, which was expected to struggle at the faster tracks. However, for Race 3, the heavens opened just before the race start which meant different tyre choices all over the grid. Intermediates were the obvious choice, but if the rain didn't ease up then the drivers on wets would capitalise on this. Which is exactly what happened, with the Honda of DK taking victory, Alex Kazen finishing a very strong second and neljack rounding off the podium in third.
And Bang!
Monza started off with a bang at Race 1, with a massive multi-car pile-up causing carnage at Turn 1. Whilst many positions were lost, the coveted "Most Positions Lost in One Corner at TOCA Event Award Prize. Award" went to JPS Driver Tom Brooks, who went from 2nd to last but managed to show a strong determind drive finishing in a respectable 9th place.
DK Takes First Overall Victory as an Independent
Independent driver DK claimed the first overall victory for an independent driver in TOCA this season. The Honda driver took a very risky gamble by starting Race 3 on wets which ultimately paid off by taking the chequered flag after an astonishing 13 lap drive. Meanwhile, Paulmac extended his independent championship lead, despite mediocre results at Monza. Paul has a 9-point advantage over 4th placed neljack in the overall championship and a 28-point lead in the independent championship.

TOCA Season 5 is go!
After various setbacks for season 4/4.2, TOCA is back and set to be better than ever! A new, fully realistic calendar and modified closer car list means that TOCA will be closer and better fought than ever. However, not everyone is happy as Jake Ringwood (Season 4.2 Champion) quit the series only minutes after entering due to a disagreement between himself and the event organiser. He declined to comment on the matter.
Shock as Coates quits VenoMMotorsports!
Alex Coates made a shock announcement that he was quitting VenoMMotorsports after signing with Death by Carbon Racing prior to the season start. Alex played a crucial role last season, by assisting Venom to the constructors championship. He was quoted as saying "Carb made an offer too good to refuse". VenoMMotorsports will not return as a team for this season.
Season 5 to be Brooks' last at JPS?
Another factor that may play a key role in the championship this season could be the departure of Tom Brooks from the Team JPS squad. His contract is up at the end of the season and he has no current option to renew it. Brooks has been with Team JPS (formerly FTR) since Season 4 and has enjoyed some strong results in the Volvo and Volkswagen. A spokesperson said that "Tom's contract is up at the end of the season and his manager is in negotiations for renewing it". Third driver LanceVance is expected to replace him should a deal not be reached.

Pre-Season Car Interviews
We sat down with a few drivers to ask them how the car is feeling going into the season. Here's what they said:
Alex Coates (Mazda): Sexual.
DK (Ford): It actually feels quite balanced. The front wheels don't seem too eager to spin themselves to oblivion, for once.
Alex Kazen (Volvo): Pretty good.
JB (Volvo): We're on LSD so we're floating thanks.
Carbonox (Mazda): Don't know yet, I'm too obsessed with NASCAR to do testing right now.
Luke Connolly (Ford): Like a car.
Alex Purchase (Honda): It drives brilliantly.
