The TOCA Season 4 Reveal Page!!!

[Carbonox]

I'll still be hoping for something else than Nordschleife Nürb GP might not be correct at all, but it's always better than the Long Tube of Death

 

[Carbonox]

I'll announce that I'm likely to change car for Season 4 due to being unhappy with the Ford's performance on a straight line, especially at the race starts, where it loses lots of important ground to the faster BMW or Volvo.

 

[Akmuq]

Volvo ain't fast at the start, you need to tune the Ford and probably start in 2nd.

 

[Carbonox]

Auto tranny guys don't start at 2nd Also, I used to be one of the quickest starters in the Mazda last season, and don't want to lose that reputation, so it's going to be a change to a more powerful machine next season

 

[Furinkazen]

First Season 4 car is hopefully going to be displayed at Indy this weekend. Remember its what lurks under the bodyshell that matters...

 

[Akmuq]

That makes it sound like it's crap with a big engine.

 

[Carbonox]

Kinda like the Honda in Season 2 then Wait what...

 

[Akmuq]

Honda had same size engine as you, was just faster in a straight cause it had a VTEC engine. As for the corners, the Honda was fast, as for me, that's a different story.

 

[Carbonox]

But Honda destroyed its tyres, which made it impossible to win with unless you somehow got a lucky 6 second gap in 2 laps

 

[Akmuq]

If you had my tune you would love the Honda and if we were start season 2 again now I would expect 4 or 5 wins.

 

[Carbonox]

Fortunately we won't, Season 2 felt a lot dirtier for me than S3 anyway

Still looking for new sponsors, there might be some surprising names among them...

 

[Akmuq]

1. Please, I know that having real life racing-associated brands can look cool and gives your series an air of reality... but it ultimately serves no purpose other than to give that company completely free advertising. The stemming of the frustration comes from a point that I made earlier in that there are plenty of brands associated with gtplanet that are active in the Tuning and Photo forums as well as other places online, yet none of the owners of these brands are approached about involvement in racing series here on gtplanet, instead getting ignored for things like "YOKOHAMA" and "MOBIL 1". If they're paying to advertise on these series then we need to figure out how to make friends with the guys running those series.

All teams, and the championship itself should incorporate this. Get a tuner or other service such as photos or GTlife magazine (that would be a good one) instead of Dunlop or, as I was considering at the start of Season 3, Lyon's Tea.

 

[Carbonox]

How about Durex?

 

[Akmuq]

Go for the GTPlanet equivalent instead.

I only used Dunlop and other sponsors as they make sense as real life sponsors. However the championship remains TOCA Season 4, no other sponsors will be in the title.

Hmm... I'll be in on this. Things are better for me once Christmas is over.

 

[Carbonox]

New drivers are always a good thing, according to the last 2 rounds of this season, TOCA is slowly dying...

Season 2 had a low of 6. And Chqr, neljack, tom, and a couple others have been away...

[Car Man]

i'm very interested in this, could you tell me at what time the sin ups will be open so i can get in

 

[Sumo098]

A link to the event thread will probably be posted here when sign ups open.

 

[Carbonox]

I'm pretty sure it's closer to 2012, that way we'll make sure we won't lose too many entries.

 

[neljack]

When will we find out what car is being tested/used for Season 4?

 

[Carbonox]

I'd also like to know, WHO is Furi's secret tester

 

[Akmuq]

Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and they're both wrong.


Anyways, I want Honda.

 

[Carbonox]

You just order your Hon-DUH, while I'll grab the Mazda when (not if) it shows up on the car list

 

[Akmuq]

Yes, when the Honda is getting it's little 'boost' give one to the Atenza as well.

 

[Carbonox]

At least the Atenza then becomes competitive, while you might catch my draft on a lucky lap with a Honda after getting a 100pp advantage

Don't doubt the VTEC.

 

[Carbonox]

I doubt everything that is not rotary
