TOCA Series Season 2 - End Of Season Discussion

[DCerinza]

I hope I can race next weekend, seems that you had a lot of fun.

 

[Furinkazen]

Ok... couple changes ahead of this weekend...

Qualifying is now 30 minutes... from 7pm to 7.30pm. Then the races will start.

Also, I may be adding an extra event in as Round 8, Daytona Infield?

And here is the thing with less time qualifying... for the final meeting at Nurburgring GP/D, how about we make use of the time and it being the finale and have 4 races? Also, Season 3 could have 4 races per meeting as well...

 

[cunny17]

Furi I will not make next 4 races so a place for a reserve is available. Bang goes my chance of the title LOL

[DCerinza]

I agree with those changes.

[Gedi69]

Sounds good to me

 

[hightyme]

Short qualifing & an extra round sound cool, but 4 races per is a little much. Now were just pulling away from the BTCC rules; I'd love to see the bonus point system introduced next season-
1 extra point for pole sitter
1 extra point for leading a full lap in race
(max 1 per driver, per race)
1 extra point for the fastest time on the track.
(1 driver per race)

 

[Furinkazen]

A good suggestion but it would make things overly complex. Reason I suggest 4 races as that means we make use of the extra 30 min that I remove for qualification.

 

[Furinkazen]

Daytona Infield is now Round 7.

 

[Sassafrass_3]

I thought the whole reason why we were cutting quali short was because the enitre session was too long? Qualifying and race. Either way I guess.

I realize this is my fault, but I'm trying to run two different series on the same day. The longer the TOCA races go the closer I'am to missing the DTM. This is my problem, I know. The two race series that I'm in are only a couple hours apart from each other. I don't wanna have to choose one.

 

[Furinkazen]

People in Season 1 thought it was too long. 30 mins is decent and gives people time to re-enter if we have connection issues. Anyway, a Quadruple-Header will be the Nurburgring finale.

Also on the whole NGTC discussion in the drivers group, Next Season I may "grandfather" the old cars, allowing them to run, but they would have to have to run to the 1250kg weight limit. Also for you NGTC watchers, the BMW 135i is being worked on as well.

Oh and word of advice for Madrid... please remember that first hairpin...

 

[VRracingfan]

For the race teams could we have a maximum of 2 drivers per team which nl more than two of the same car(depends also how many cars).
I'm torn between the BMW 135i and the Focus ST at the moment.
I think 4 races is too many, perhaps a longer first race and then normal distance races 2 and 3?

 

[Furinkazen]

We'll wait and see. Madrid and Monaco are next... both will see tempers flaring... especially Monaco...

 

[VRracingfan]

Also, what is the latest on penalties?
Tempers will be flaring at Madrid but I guess it will depend on what happens and who is there like Monza.

 

[Furinkazen]

1 driver has already been warned... And I am putting several parties who seem to be "eye of the storm" on a warning soon... But I am going to give everyone a friendly reminder...

This is a game, this is not real, this is racing, incidents happen - lighten up.

At Monza in race 3 someone knocked me into a sideways tyre-smoking drift. I didn't get mad, just laughed as I nearly spun out. CHILL... these next two events will be rough...

 

[VRracingfan]

Who's been warned?

 

[DCerinza]

Nice to hear some of the new cars for the future, I like how the BMW 135 feels, if it possible since now I'll take one spot with this car for next season

Not for public bashing... PM if you wish to know

It's way too early for Season 3 spots yet...

we could set up a team when we are allowed to.

 

[DCerinza]

Has anyone tested in madrid??

What times are you doing, I did some laps last night and running an average of 56.5 secs.

[V8-Johnboy]

No go for me this week fishing all weekend have fun gents.👍

 

[Sassafrass_3]

I'm averaging about the same. Fastest was a 55.027.

 

[hightyme]

Same, 55.2 was my best.

 

[Akmuq]

I will miss the next two rounds, be there for the next one and will miss the two after that.

 

[DK]

I'm getting into the 0:54's.

 

[Furinkazen]

57.2 here... so easy to be one second up in 1 sector and lose it in another.

 

[Gedi69]

So 54s to beat then Madrid should be fun can't wait

 

[Furinkazen]

As usual I will lay back and and pick up points as you crash at the hairpin

 

[si_berian_tiger]

I see some have mentioned series 3 already. I might be interested in that.

In the mean time, is there a chance you could add me to the reserve list for this series?

si_berian_tiger/ si_berian_tiger / Mazda.

I won't be crashing lol

 

[Furinkazen]

You might just get in owing to a few drop-outs this week. You're going on reserve list now.
