TOCA Season 5 / Spurgy, Joe, DBC, Volvo, Champions!

[Carbonox]

Same as you in a Rwd whenever you touch the throttle .

I didn't spin at all back at Spa.

The *cough* little touch of the grass that sent me off at the final chicane doesn't count because I had to sneeze and therefore the car went a little wide.

 

[Spurgy 777]

That's the Volvo's fault one touch of the grass and it runs off in the other direction as fast as possible, not as stable as your Mazda And Paul, surely you mean one touch of the throttle in a FWD makes him spin?

 

[Furinkazen]

I agree Mazda is stable, Volvo torque propels it along but can make it a handful.

Raceday. Some facts:

~Joe will be absent, that will give Carb second overall pretty much.

~Maths are headache-worthy, but Spurgy could have the title sealed after up after Race 2.

~After Race 3 Spurgy could be champion.

~Joe's absence could lead to Atin taking the independents title race into the finale at Monaco.

~Smuffy's spurt of form puts him the top 14 overall. Bear in mind that the Top 12 drivers will get "locked" seats for next season, and that Dax is not competing next season... with the standings the way they are DK is pipping Matty for that position. However DK may not be present leading to Matty getting a major advantage. Drivers in Bold are locked in the top 12 and have a Season 6 seat should they choose to accept it.

i'm looking to consolidate my top 8 position and to make sure that i'm locked into next season.

with dax not competing in season 6, if he finishes in the top 12 will his guaranteed position go to 13th or will we have 11 confirmed spots

We go to 13th, hence why there is 14 on the list above.

What would happen if you did not make it?

 

[Spurgy 777]

I was just thinking that, I thought Furi would be in bold because it's not like he won't be there But looking at it, its impossible for Furi to not finish in the top 12

 

[gokartman78]

aiming to finish 14th and do the quali races 👍

 

[Spurgy 777]

Erm, why?

 

[gokartman78]

Erm, why?

for the banter

 

[Spurgy 777]

You're going to have a hard time moving down to 14th, yet still getting enough points for us to win the teams

 

[Furinkazen]

It would be bad for me to drop out of top 12

 

[Conbon14]

Im planning on racing tonight reguarding there are spaces

 

[Carbonox]

1'35.6 for me at best, with some time to come on a perfect run. Overall hoping for another podium run, but it could require me to be a bit aggressive.

 

[Spurgy 777]

I've done a 1.35.1 but can't go any faster than that.

 

[Michelin]

Hoping that I can race today...

 

[Tom]

Good luck to all who are racing today.

that's fast, how were we only doing 37's last season ? not much has changed...

 

[Carbonox]

that's fast, how were we only doing 37's last season ? not much has changed...

Wasn't last season 295hp and probably more weight? And Spurgy-less?

oh yea . silly me

 

[Akmuq]

Because Sport Softs and no LSD. WTCC.

Edit: I think we were touching on 35's in Season 3, which had more weight but a bit of aero.

[Carbonox]

Oh yeah, that infamous Nürb round at WTCC...

that was fun

 

[Furinkazen]

Nurb always produces great racing. And incident. ~cough DK vs RP, Me vs Boyce, Neljack vs Carb (?) in Meganes~

 

[DaxCobra]

I think Nurb GP/D in Meganes was the funniest 🤬 ever. Last chicane = good memories, huh Carb?

 

[Carbonox]

I like the way you try to be provocative even though I caused neither of the last chicane moments.

 

[DaxCobra]

Lolwut?

I was talking about your lag into the chicane barriers.
