TOCA Series Season 2 - End Of Season Discussion

My wifi works fine as you saw

Ya, it was... & it's not like if your on WiFi it's always bad... Your Internet service & router will play in too. But using a wired connection over WiFi is a simple step towards better connection. Plus, as I've been pointing out, a modem & router reboot and clearing cache through in-game options will all help too. Hopefully, we don't have too many lag issues in future races. (Though I don't think it's been that bad)

My wifi works fine as you saw when we were racing but i've got a cable on the way just in case and just for online racing. Are we definately racing at Monaco a week on Saturday?

Yes we are 👍

 

[The_Boyce]

Yes we are 👍

Cool. Better get some needed practice in.

 

[Gedi69]

Any one testing tonight might join ya

 

[Akmuq]

No testing, but very good fun last night doing Le Mans. I bet MrMulsanne by almost a minute in two laps with 100 horsepower less.

I crashed, pitted, went with Racing Hards as it stopped raining,and was taking 10 seconds out of you down the Mulsanne. The other guy in his 908 had crashed and we clashed on the run to karting chicane.

Another lap and you would have been gone...

Anyway, Monaco will be interesting. I'm just going to try stay clean...

 

[Akmuq]

10 seconds? Wow. I blame all your horsepower. The 908 guy was good.👍 Also, sorry I missed GT. I was just bringing up the horsepower on my nomad diablo. I have to get a proper GT car.💡

 

[DK]

Maybe we should try beeping our horns when we're attempting overtakes in braking zones.

 

[Furinkazen]

Horns? I find them so distracting but so funny... and I don't have horns even enabled on my controller...

 

[DK]

I'm not against using them, it might be useful to warn others that I'm trying to dive down the inside.

: Also, sorry I missed GT. I was just bringing up the horsepower on my nomad diablo. I have to get a proper GT car.💡

Ya, you two were quick in those LM cars. I hurshed out and underbroke into Fur, sorry again... Not a familiar track for me, nor do I ususally race at those speeds & power ratings, that -ish was fast.

Maybe we should try beeping our horns when we're attempting overtakes in braking zones.

It's not a bad idea, but I couldn't see myself doing it. The lead car should be able to see your overtaking... I realized in Madrid, simple things to hold position like; always hold your inside line & overtake on the outside at your own risk (cause being sandwiched against a barrier is the worst)
If someones nose is on you entering a corner, your probably better off letting him take position, brake & attempt a dive back to the inside. Monaco should be very similar, minus the multi car pileups.

 

[Furinkazen]

Monaco's opening laps I reckon will see a few single car spins and maybe a Macau style track blocking shunt, especially in reverse grid events.. but slower speeds may help.

I'm still trying to figure out a way of managing the chicane after the tunnel..

 

[Akmuq]

Two simple ways to avoid carnage.
Drive the suspension out of you're car on the first lap and get ahead and don't worry about the rest.
Or just don't overtake anyone going in to there.👍

It's better then turn 1 at Madrid.

 

[e.sport]

If any reserve spots are open i'd like to join up - BMW 320i

Though Saturday 7:00pm BST is Sunday 4:00am AST Have been involved in a Clio Trophy League - Sundays 8:00pm BST = Monday 5:00pm AST and managed to race the first 3 rounds (weeks) before withdrawing.

Other than that great setup Mr.Mulsanne 👍

As I'm always bad over a lap, I;ll just hang back and try to use reverse grids and become a mobile chicane.

Cheers. Send a Friend Request to Furinkazen! 👍

What is the point of qualifying if you're just going to hang back? Hanging back is a bad idea.

True, but also I am a BAD QUALIFIER. I'm not good over a lap, but I am better when gradually picking guys off. And I get a decent position for Race 2 as well.

Having said that, Monaco may be a track not good for that. Overtaking is very difficult...

 

[Akmuq]

I might just buy the red Honda in the OCD. One for a twisty track tune and one for a fast track tune. Also, I didn't realize there was more then one colour of them.

 

[hightyme]

I'm the opposite.. I'll run great on quali, then have slips under pressure lol

Interested in a trade? I can send back the Red Integra & a level 21 card, if interested... Just trying to collect all the colours.... The Integra in my OCD is Blue.

What do you mean. I send red one, you send back red one and level 21 card?

[Akmuq]

But that's pretty much giving me a free ticket. Ok, I'll add you.👍

 

[Akmuq]

I have an other guy on GTPlanet interested in this. And anyone considering a Honda, they are just 27,000 now. By doing a 3 lap race on a kart course, you can afford one and have another 280,000 credits. I bought an FGT and now made another 2 million. I'm going to get all the LMP cars. Oh, and the GT car as I promised on the last page. Anyone want to race some of the classes from Le Mans at Toca time on Saturday. I'm not going to watch all 24 hours and I'm thinking we could have a few races. Furinkazen and I started racing like that on Tuesday night, a public lobby man and a couple of people from here joined us. I'm thinking we could have a few races with time and weather on. Anyone interested?

The special online event are triple the money at the mo. I've been doing the Supercar event st the eifel track getting nearly 500.000 credits for a 6 minute race.

The K-car cup at the kart track works slightly better and IMO, is a lot more fun to drive. I do enjoy driving the supercars though. The trucks, Lamboughini's, French cars and muscle cars work at about the same cash per minute value, so I'm spoilt for choice.

 

[Furinkazen]

I'll agree: Now is the time if you want a Honda.

 

[The_Boyce]

Anyone practicing tonight?

 

[DK]

I am, I need some way to pass the time.

 

[cunny17]

Well thats me off on holiday for 2 weeks. Hope next weeks race goes without to much aggro. Missing Le Mans, BTCC and F1 but i think San Diego is maybe the better choice. Daughters will be on psn under my name but i have moved ps3 away from race seat so they can't tarnish my good name in GT5. lol
Will be back on track 27th June see you all then.

Stu

 

[Furinkazen]

Ok then, Honda guys, you can change to a different colour car if you wish. vtec PM'd me about that. Remember Honda's are going cheap in the OCD now.
