The TOCA Season 4 Reveal Page!!!

[Carbonox]

Well, considering they only have like 5 tracks with changeable weather, I'm not surprised they didn't implement that to Cape Ring

 

[Akmuq]

But Cape Ring, if it were real would be as affected by weather as Spa, Sepang or Phillip Island...

 

[Carbonox]

Sepang

Guess the problem is that they ran out of time or were too lazy...

Still a chance we can have an all FF season? FR's will just murder FF's at the start and that can really wreck it.

All FF would also make us get tire wear back, because let's face it:

No tire wear: Arcade
Strong draft: Arcade
Low grip reduction: Arcade

Yes, the last two are fixed for S4 (the last one's already been covered) but with no tire wear, it still feels too arcade-ous. We should go play the old F1 games if we want arcade racing

I agree that it is a little arcadey but I feel TOCA is finding its place as half way between a full blown pro series and and amateur level club series.... No fuel use and tyre wear makes racing stronger and also allows much more aggressive set ups.

Would be cool to have tyre wear back, I can tune it to be better, but not to compete with FR. How about we base the weather on what the weather is like in real life at the track? We could say High Speed Ring is in England, or any other rainy country.

Weather formats are already sorted, updates to come on schedule.

 

[Furinkazen]

Testing today, one car will be given a 15kg weight break.

 

[neljack]

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally wanna know now.

 

[Furinkazen]

As it is planned, further small updates are coming over next 2-4 weeks. Then Season 4 will go live.

 

[Furinkazen]

Final car spec confirmed on a new car, pictures have been taken at Kart Space

Also confirmed:

Fuel use / Tyre wear off (Controversial sure, but leads to closer racing and puts the series in a nice semi pro environment)

Racing mediums - more grip, more commitment. About 1 second difference in lap times

And official FINAL schedule (apologies for poor format but Microsoft Word hates me...)

Currently working on Season 4 aesthetics and design.

 

[Carbonox]

Don't blame me if I don't pick up any success in the Masters

 

[Akmuq]

Yeah! At first when I saw grip reduction I was thinking 'Noooo' but then I remembered weak slipstream will make it very hard to win two races in a row so this can somewhat make up for it. 👍

Racing Mediums

 

[Furinkazen]

Corrected typo, grip reduction is high, its fuel and tyres off.

Dang, I grew to hate grip reduction

Oh ok.👍

One car has received a substantial weight reduction boost.

Infinit G35?

 

[Furinkazen]

Infinit G35?

A NA RWD has been testing, but may not make it due to concerns about car performance balancing.

 

[DK]

I suppose that I've been banned.

FF is the way to go.👍

I really don't know whether to reveal TOCA Stig's Identity...

 

[Akmuq]

Do!

Will they be competing in the series?

 

[Furinkazen]

No idea.

 

[Furinkazen]

TOCA Stig is.....

 

[Akmuq]

No idea.

Reveal their identity!!!

We can get a new one for Season 5.

Also, don't release the car list to fast, make sure to test at somewhere like Indy or wherever the BMW's were particularly dominant last season.

Cars are sorted. Stig has been PM'd

Well I mean the specs of the cars, unless one happens to be 2 seconds faster (which is unlikely since they are FF) at Indy they can all still be in.

One car has received a weight reduction and is now the lightest car in the field.

Check 'em out at a track like Tsukuba, or maybe more relevant to the schedule, Grand Valley East.

 

[Furinkazen]

Cape Ring Inside is a testing facility

 

[Akmuq]

Yes, but cars equal at Cape Ring may not be equal at Autumn Ring for the next race...
