If your Focus your independent. Nissan, Volvo, and Honda all have open team spots open.

Its filling up already, and Akmuq, DK, Sumo, have not shown up either... neither has Fox or Chris and I know they were interested in being in.

And Joe and Tom.

going to be a very fast grid this season...

Strawman Andy · May 27, 2012

Lol funny how weight check is an option now with JB and Chqr, hmmm.

Lizard · May 27, 2012

I will join car I will do some testing.

BTW whats the point in the pitstops in 2 of the races if tire and fuel is off? Its like giving a penalty to everyone.

But anyway I will test cars and then choose.

Will join a team if they want me and the car I want and respective team has a space otherwise I will be independent.

If anyone is willing to save me time which car is best in the corners I don't care how slow it is down the straight.

Is following advice and taking people's opinions on board not allowed then?

BTCC in the past had pit stops. Around the 'Ring with its unpredicatable weather you neevr know what might happen.

And at Monaco, traffic is such an issue that a well timed stop may jump you ahead of the car in front.

Fair enough

Furinkazen · May 27, 2012

Also, all round longer races of about 20 minutes now. Exceptions are Monaco with 2x 30 min races effectivly, and Nurb 24H a 20 and 40 minute event.

That was a good answer Nel ya gotta give Furi that. :lol:

So you did all the testing yourself Furi? On paper i guess the Focus is the strongest overall package. :sly:

BTCC in the past had pit stops.

They had pitstops because the tyres would go off, and that the races were a good 50 minutes long, and only 2 races on Sunday - not today's 3.

So why dont you allow tyre wear on for the races invovling pitstops - otherwise theres no skill involved because you can pit early or last lap and have same grip. It only works if it rains, and it might not

Theres always a car that seems to be too fast in TOCA - its in its DNA it seems :lol:

I think tyre wear should be on for the longer races, but it's up to Furinkazen. He's the organizer.

Chqr · May 27, 2012

When you say 'racing exhaust' do you mean Titanium Semi-Racing or Titanium Racing Exhaust?

Tyres wear out too quick and it give RWD too much of an advantage. And I know that they had two races per day, Monaco's my version of that with longer races.

Considering The Nurb's weather, and Monaco's traffic, it's a good call.

Ford is fast, but heavy. Its also heavier than it was in S3 IIRC, its around 1300kg now.

@Chqr, full racing exhaust!

Chqr · May 27, 2012

Just checking.

That's what caught me out in S3. I was running the Semi-Racing version so I was lapped 4 times in one race.

That makes no sense to me as we ran Sport Exhausts back then so you would have had an advantage :odd:

Ok - well looking at the specs for one car, I think we'll have another "VW" problem from the specs, only a guess, but similar specs to TOCA s4.2 vw

Chqr · May 27, 2012

Furinkazen

Did we? I was running an exhaust that made me considerably slower than everyone else and you could tell because of the sound of my engine.

I'll have to check that.

There isn't.... The Ford used to be even quicker in S3 and S4.1....

Wow, VTEC actually thinks anyone wants him back into TOCA?

I will decide my car by 10.30 pm tonight furi.

Correction, I ran stock.

Blimey, this Nissan is giving horrible understeer.

Just as a comparison my fastest lap in an S3 BMW was 0.59.969 at Tsukuba, in my Skyline, I can barely get into the 1.05s

:scared:

Are you sure you're on RH tyres Chqr? Testing has shown the Nissan only 0.1 off at tsukuba compared to the Infiniti.
