~All cars are pegged back to 305hp via the power limiter,

~BMW supported TOCA's early years with the 320i Touring car, a move into the NGTC era in Season 3 with the 135i meant they dominated the season. Now they return with a re-worked 135i, the 1-Series tii Concept, can it continue it's predecessors legacy?~

~Honda are another make to have always supported TOCA. The Integra Type R Touring Car was a quick tyre-eating monster, whilst the Civic was blindingly quick but had many reliability issues. A move to the CRZ means a lighter, smaller, and probably quicker package, with the hybrid-battery inside powering the car.~

~Back again, Infiniti's debut in Season 3 was dogged by a lack of testing. A more stable car emerged for Season 4 and took a win at Monza. Whilst the car is not fastest, the normally-aspirated engine is very easy to control and its this deftness that helps the car in trickier conditions. Certainly a dark horse.~

~Mazda have a formidable TOCA legacy. Race winners in Season 1, the TOCA-spec Atenza Touring Car was dominant in Season 2. The NGTC version had a slow start in Season 3, but won the drivers title with Dax in Season 4, and Season 5 saw Death By Carbon racing win the Teams title and Joe win the Independents in the Mazda... will Mazda's form continue this season?~

~Volvo came into the the NGTC era with the C30 R-Design, and won the teams title with Team MRT (now RPM). Season 4 proved how difficult this torque-filled monster can be to drive with a very poor season, but new parts and support from Volvo led to a drivers title for Spurgy, with seven drivers taking wins in the car, and the inaugural makes title.. can it happen again?~

STANDINGS AFTER ROUND 7

Spurgy is champion, but Chris and me have had our fight for third rudely gatecrashed by Smuffy. Sumo, Atin, Conbon, Neljack and perhaps Haitch had better bring baseball bats on saturday as its going to get tough with only a few points between them.

*Aware of typo with Neljack by the way, he is locked in.

Place your bets. Chris has a lead, Smuffy has the winning form and DK has inconsistency worse than his internet connection.

RPM winners, Pepsi second. But the other blue Volvo's (typo in IRT's car I know) might grab the limelight if they can deny Venom 3rd place.

Can Volvo get over 1000 points to sign off in style? Possibly.
​

 

[Furinkazen]

And we are open!!!

 

[Carbonox]

My standing is a maybe.

Got to see how things pan out.

 

[smuffyatfcp]

I will announce my car later after some testing.

 

[Gedi69]

Blimey that was quick

 

[Furinkazen]

Team RPM are working on a deal for their second car.

Couple tweaks in drivetrain regs, and better tables coming in later for the "locked in" bit

 

[Matty]

Yeah, I dunno if I'll bother racing these this season.

 

[gokartman78]

G35 got 2 wins, Monza and autumn ring 👍

 

[Gedi69]

Blimey that was quick

 

[Lizard]

I can tell you now I will miss the 24H as I will be in Germany. I will be closer to the real thing than the ps3.


It is my best track as well.

Edit wait a sec your dates are messed up.

Nurb 24h. 10th november.

Following that Monza. 17th October. That would make it round 1. I assume you should have put november?

 

[Furinkazen]

Blimey that was quick

Look at post dates, i've been working on them for some time

So Dax is back, Spurgy back, and possibly DK and Sumo... thats all the TOCA champions in one field if it happens

@Haitch, fixed.

 

[Chqr]

Give me the BM. Aztec Prostitute Motorsports are game.

think of a number in your head between 1 and 10. now follow these instructions.
+3 to that number.
Now - 2.
Now subtract the number you originally started with.
Times your new number by 2.
and finally subtract 2. That is the number of teams that want you.

[Spurgy 777]

Don't take it out on Kartman just because it's too complicated for you to do Neljack

 

[neljack]

Don't take it out on Kartman just because it's too complicated for you to do Neljack

So the answer isnt 5.5? :S

 

[cgr-10]

No problem, bro.

Banana Banter Bus Racing

All aboard the banter bus.

Sam and I were actually considering starting a 'Banter Thread' for the bants last night but we didn't think the mods would be too pleased with it.

 

[Sumo098]

I've been sitting idle around here for too long. Time to take on a new series.

Who needs a banter thread when we have a TOCA Thread?

Uh oh. So many quick drivers... gonna be Muller, Thompson, Plato, Neal, and Giovanardi all in one..

I am sorry but your calculations are a bit off.

 

[gokartman78]

I am sorry but your calculations are a bit off.

[gokartman78]
