TOCA Series Season 3 & TOCA Megane Challenge - SEASON COMPLETE!!!

[Tom]

Theres a mysterious, scary figure relected in the tv screen!

Paranormal activity?

Ahaha, it's me, I look like James May and apparently speak like him

 

[Akmuq]

I could swear that tv was pink. Must be the light intensity in the room.

Haha, imagine me with a pink 36" TV, that'd be a laugh!

Recording of the 1st test race with NGTC Regulations, I will record this again tomorrow in HD:

Great job! 👍

Awesome man. You should post you're epic save from the spin earlier on Autumn Ring. That was unbelievable. Also, the new regulations are making it difficult to tell who the real front-runners are.

The Fords seem to be like the Honda last season, with their tire wear. If one of them finds a tune quickly, they can be real title contenders.

BMW and Infiniti seem incredibly close on pace but the BMW is more twitchy. I'd presume the Infiniti would be better at Laguna Seca because it's Naturally Aspirated buy the BMW would be better at Indy because it's turbocharged.

I must say I'm pretty happy with the Infiniti, I seemed to accidentally induced some understeer into it earlier but I shall perfect the tune.
Now we just need to set up MIA- Mulsanne International Assistance.

Whoops, wasn't supposed to mention that was I? We can just give it some Italian name.


Errr is that TV pink?

I'm sorry about the rear-ending. I'm still having to adjust myself to the idea of lag - even a light touch could send the other guy flying. I'm just an aggressive racer, I am the guy who has made a protagonist in a fanfic who does banzai overtaking moves under braking.

Well at least we know now your driving style

For this season could we have a group of 4 or 5 stewards in qhich they negotiate incidents that have been brought to light by a driver. The stewards would vary each incident depending on if they were involved or not. They will have to save the replay and be a regular clean member of ToCA.
What do you think?

Funnily enough I have thought about this, but also I would encourage people to save the replays and simply PM me post-race. I can't ignore multiple complaints. Season 3 will see the tightening up of a few sporting regs.

MrM have you considered Grand Valley East Reverse?

MrM have you considered Grand Valley East Reverse?

My only issue with GV is where to fit in the 8 week schedule - what to remove instead?

 

[Akmuq]

GP/D or Indy road I would recommend getting rid of, they're pretty boring in comparision.

 

[VRracingfan]

Remove Nordschleife for Grand Valley. Only 1 lap is pretty boring in touring cars and but would make for a good non championship event.

+1 👍

 

[Akmuq]

Yeah and it's only going to result in more crashes. Please?

It's 2 laps, not edited post yet. And in Season 3 it's the full layout.

In response to the tightening of regulations I hope that this is followed through as the majority of times in which complaints have been made nothing has happened after or atleast for a couple of weeks after. If complaints are not taken seriously next season then you can count me out for season 4.

That's good but i'm going to miss that race

Yes, it is a direct consequence of this.

 

[Akmuq]

Since it's the full layout of the ring we don't need GP/D's own race right?

Should take out GP/D, put Grand Valley where Monaco is, and move Monaco to season finale.

Nurburgring start, Monaco finish. Brilliant.

An idea... I am looking at a couple tracks as well... Suzuka East and Grand Valley East are two of them... Monaco was thinking of going to the back of the season as a Macau-style finale.

Grand Valley East would be much better. Suzuka East is just the first hairpin, esses, and the last hairpin... Not too interesting

 

[Tom]

Or get rid of Nurb 24h and put the GP/F Circuit in it's place but only if GP/D is removed 👍

GP / F is a bit long.

 

[Tom]

GP / F is a bit long.

Reduce it to 4 or 5 laps?

 

[VRracingfan]

Going back to High Speed Ring would be nice. Any car can win there due to GT5's slipstream.

I got my first ever win there... An idea...

 

[Akmuq]

I do think that the original tracks are much better for touring cars. Cape Ring Inside immediately springs to mind.

 

[Furinkazen]

Would anyone object to a 10 week schedule instead of 8?

EDIT: Now down to 1.00.8 at Tsukuba

 

[Akmuq]

I would love a 10 race schedule, but do we have to have a pre-season tournament? It's only making it longer till we start Toca again. Maybe we could have a support race between 7 and 7.30 instead?

Interesting idea...

7pm Room Open:
7.25pm Support Race in recommended cars (Mini Cooper Challenge? VW Golf Trophy? Megane Series?)
7.45pm Qualifying
8pm TOCA Race Start?

I like that idea. More racing, less waiting.

 

[hightyme]

I'll be joining the room at 7:40 then

 

[Furinkazen]

It's an idea. People can just watch it if they wish, but I suppose it helps boredom.

 

[moeom]

Hmmm, interesting. You will have to pick a good car for the support series.

 

[Furinkazen]

Renault Megane seems a good option.
