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

[Carbonox]

I noticed an error on the rules section... it talks about points counting for all 24 races... yet I think there's a bit more races in total if we have a 10-race schedule

 

[DK]

I'm wondering...will we be allowed to appeal stewards' decisions? I'm guessing a certain duo will, if appointed to the stewards group, be biased against me.

 

[Carbonox]

Oh yeah, stewards brought to mind... While I could make a good steward because of my neutral opinion towards everyone (even if I have better memories from some guys than others), most of the drivers are badly lagging on the race replay, with probably one or two exceptions. Therefore it would be extra hard for me to figure out if some hits are accidental or deliberate... So at least for now, I won't be doing any steward stuff unless the quality of the replays becomes better.

That is because I am preparing the first post for the calendar, gradually editing and updating.

When we have a final entry list, with about 2 weeks before the season begins, I would like to have a vote of people, the stewards panel I suggest 4 or 5 people - me, 3 and or 4 others. Just to note that I would be acting as TOCA Series head, not as Team MRT team representative before anyone jumps to conclusions about team bias or anything like that...

Also I am finalising a rather simple license points system. Essentially the stewards can give a driver pts on his license according to the severity of an incident. If they reach say, 5 pts, they get suspended for one meeting.

Don't worry, I have no intention of being a steward. I'd much rather just drive, and let others sort out any problems

Just noticed but the picture with the Volvo C30 has the type "B" front end while you say that we need to put on the type "A" front. As of this moment I happen to be running the type "B" front. However if I need to change let me know

Just found this bit of an article in RaceCar Engineering:

RCE: Hello, how are you?
Me: very well thank you
RCE: are you looking forward to the TOCA Season?
Me: of course I am what with all of the competition between the teams
RCE: what about your choice to switch to the Volvo C30 at the last moment?
Me: well Mazda wasn't able to give us the help that we really needed seeing as we were going to be the works Mazda team. However, Volvo has really helped us. Also now we might be able to get some setup tips from the largest team, MRT.
RCE: how was your last testing session at the Tsubuka track?
Me: I really enjoyed it. Also, with my Volvo not even set up yet I was able to set lap times that matched the MRT times. The thing that mostly disappoints me is that I won't be able to run a full season.
RCE: you won't?
Me: no, I will only be able to show up for the occasional race maybe only 4-5
RCE: well it was great talking to you.
Me: thanks, we need all of the support we can get. Remember, cheer for RaceTech International!

No, go away.


Also, MrM, are team orders allowed?

(Its really awkward having to ask your own teammate that.)

 

[DK]

I'm pretty sure that you would lose a lot of time typing out the team orders if mics are disabled...

 

[Akmuq]

Well come on now. If Furi was fighting for the championship and needed a win in the final race and I was in the lead I'm sure he would like me to let him through, no need for the message.

Also, mics are allowed for the TOCA trucks series so they will probably be allowed for the touring cars.

 

[Valkyr1313]

sad now I need to go and cry in a corner



I don't take it personally

 

[Akmuq]

That's cause it wasn't personal, just a joke.

 

[Tom]

Can't wait to commentate on the Megane Trophy Championship

 

[Akmuq]

"If that isn't a lap record I'll eat the hat I don't normally wear."

"I didn't see the time, largely because there wasn't one."

"Look up there! That's the sky!"

"STOP! STOP! Under the bridge there! That's a Williams Renault ... my guess is it's Villeneuve, I'm not going to make any statements until we see the driver ... IT'S HILL! It's Damon Hill!"

Haha only person who can match him is Charlie Cox, here with ben edwards:



Mic's are not 100% in. Problem is I don't want them to make lag worse and black screens longer and more frequent (especially as I am raising room quality for this season as well).

I wouldn't bother with mics for the touring cars. Too many mics all on at once just makes a load of noise. I think the only way it may work is if we all agreed the one person commentates on each race but that means one racing space is wasted in the lounge.

Just asking, the Megane Trophy is only 1 race right? And the Toca is 3 races as usual.

Correct.

 

[Carbonox]

Almost all my stronger courses are at the end of the schedule...

 

[Akmuq]

Monza and High Speed Ring will be so short with the very high average speeds. High Speed Ring might not even be 10 minutes each! Monaco around 17-18 minutes! That's an endurance.

 

[Valkyr1313]

This may be completely irrelevant however, what sort of lap times is everyone doing around Monza when it's sopping wet? I just want to know to understand where I would probably place around there

 

[Furinkazen]

GTP Johny has been banned indefinitely from TOCA and all TOCA events. If anyone wishes to know PM me. It is not to be discussed here. driftking has been notified as well.

 

[DK]

At least I don't have to worry about team orders...or heated relations arising in the team.

This week. 👍

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Cool! This sounds great... I'll keep my eye on it. For now, put me down for the Mazda and my team name will be... uh... do we pick team names? Mine will be MagicSpeed Mazda. Lol.
