*OFFICIAL TOCA NEWS*
Death By Carbon remains in TOCA
Carbonox, the person mainly considered the #1 driver for Death By Carbon Racing, has announced early in the 2-month break that his Season 3 team will remain in TOCA for the upcoming season as well.
"I won't go into details yet", the 17-year-old Finn said in an interview. "The only thing that is sure that I will be racing under the same team name as last season. The car, color, teammate, additional sponsors, all are still unconfirmed." he explained and asked to stay alert during December, when it's likely to get some more official information.
Carbonox finished 3rd with a Death By Carbon Ford in his first full TOCA campaign, recording 9 podiums. He was also a contestant in the later half of Season 2 with a Mazda Atenza, earning 2 wins and 1 pole position on his way to a promising 9th place. His teammate Knelly appeared in TOCA for the first time in Season 3, putting up consistent results similarly to Carbonox and improved his pace especially in the late season, coming close to the podium numerous times.
"I'm going for the title now that BMW's are out of the way", Carbonox said when asked about his targets for the upcoming season in general. "The only drivers ahead of me in the standings were Sumo and Neljack, both in a BMW, which was, even with the 50kg penalty, noticeably difficult to beat." he said with an annoyed voice.
In the final words of the interview, he gave a brief hint: "Especially in the late season, I didn't really get along well with the Ford. It's very likely that DBC moves to a different make next season. I'm looking for torque over grip as I found the Mazda in Season 2 easier to compete with as it had noticeable pace on the straights." In a possible situation that the next season becomes all-FWD, he might not end up returning to Mazda just yet, but he has his eyes on a specific car that he finds likely to make an appearance in Season 4...
