who is everyone else in this F1 grid?

Carb- obviously kimi (fast and consistant)
Neljack - Barrichello, Always lets teammate win and gets second

Quote and add more, lets get a full grid going :sly:
 
Wait. Lets get this updated instead From Season 5 Thread. Especially BMW and a few others.

Carbonox
Here goes with a bit of additions.

The official TOCA dictionary for n00bs

Akmuq: The lad who has big words, but no championships. However, he might be dangerous. On a perfect day.

Altezza: Thought BMW was dominant? These things in S1 were 1.5 seconds a lap quicker... at Cape Inside. 200kg weight and 10% power barely bought them in line. That's dominance... (information by Furi)

Arcade draft: Draft was way too strong in S3, hence the name. Nowadays with the better settings, arcade draft won't be missed.

BMW: The fairly controversial car of S3 that hasn't been seen since. Known to dominate the whole season, leading Sumo and Neljack alone into the championship fight and allowing Dax to take some easy wins too, with only other BMW's as resistance most of the time.

Carbonox: AKA driving god. Expect to see the black Mazda with red rims ahead of you. Well, except obviously in the beginning of a reverse grid event.

Chqr: Well known troll who also likes to race (as well as do NASCAR). Watch out!

DaxCobra: The guy who likes to moan. Allegedly also the Season 4.2 champion, though in complete sense only a half-champion as the season wasn't completed. Approach carefully.

DC: NOT DaxCobra, but DisConnected. The full word often gets censored in GT5's chat. Usually a result of a poor connection. DC translates to a DNF in the middle of a race.

Death By Carbon: A team run by me, making its second appearance this season. Neljack drives the #2 other car.

DK: AKA driftking18594, the one who nicknames his cars Asuka or something similar. Also a 1-and-a-half time champion.

DNF: Did Not Finish, in other words either DC'd, ragequitted, or got distracted. In any case, a DNF is worth no points and the last place on the grid for the following race.

DNS: Did Not Start. For DNS'ers, the fate is the same as for DNF'ers, even if the reason was a last minute DC (see above).

DSQ: DiSQualified. Either for reckless driving or doing something else stupid, like getting a Johny pole (see below) without yielding. Or having an illegal car. Whichever you prefer.

Durex: A popular sponsor for many TOCA teams, only to be let down close to the season for various reasons. Who knows, maybe it might be sponsoring DBC at the very moment?

Furi: Short for Furinkazen. The creator of TOCA who likes to play dirty despite the rules stating otherwise. He likes to play with his own rules despite clear arguments against them, so approach with caution. Also he likes to pick the dominant car whenever he can in order to win 1 race per season, as he often does.

Furi'ing tires: Wearing one's tires really quickly. Often used in other series rather than TOCA, because this one has no tire wear. The name comes from-- well, try to guess.

GTP_Johny: AKA the TOCA troll, LKWTrailer, RaciGManiac, Ghova and something else too. Won several races but once took people hostage in the NASCAR Trucks lobby, which resulted in him getting kicked out. He later returned as LKWTrailer only to suffer the same fate. (Goodbye!)

Haitch: Also known as A Purchase or Hiatch. The official TOCA Troll, at least for some while.

Hispania - Unfortunate nickname of CALM DAN's Lexus. He was a decent driver, but he had a car that was only good on straights. Wait, thats better than a real Hispania...

Johny pole: A pole position gained in a reverse grid event by having a DNS or DNF in the previous race. Nowadays frowned upon and prohibited. Just try to guess where the name comes from.

Mazda-Honda rivalry: A rivarly that may finally heat up again with me in the Mazda and akmuq in a Honda, just like the old days. The rivalry began in Season 2 when we had a fight about which car is better. I guess Mazda won it that time, but now Honda wants revenge.

Meganes: The support series for Season 3. Me and neljack won the championship despite a controversial final race incident involving lag.

Neljack: The one who always finishes 2nd or 3rd. Be it races or full championships. Well, except for that one FIA GT1 season. Now he's my teammate and looking for a brighter future. Who knows what can happen?

Paulmac2k9: Jason Plato's GTP account. Known for complaining about everything yet having a point, but no one notices as he complains. Considered Dax Cobra's role model.

Penguin: Everyone's favorite animal in TOCA. Who doesn't love a friendly neighborhood penguin?!

RPM: Furi's own team, previously known as MRT (Season 3) and FTR (Season 4). They won the teams' championship under the MRT name, but after akmuq left them, TomBrooks replaced him afterwards. Considering Furi's reputation, the team might have difficulties with getting another title.

Sumo: The Season 3 champion who hasn't been seen recently. Pretty much dominated the field that season, although there's a good excuse for that too - the BMW.

Tiebreaker: A word that Furi should learn. When two or more drivers are tied in points, the one with a better single race finish is put ahead. If it's the same, the quantity of those finishes decides it, and if they are the same too, the 2nd, 3rd etc. best finish decides the outcome.

TOCA Dog: Neljack's dog named Charlie. Likes to get Neljack's attention in the middle of a race. Also likely to get a promotion to Chief Steward due to his activeness.

TOCA Ghost: Not much is known about him, but apparently he appeared during a testing session. According to Neljack, his name could be Johnny. We don't know how TOCA Ghost is associated with GTP_Johny, but if you feel you're being watched, be careful - it might be him.

VenoMMotorsports: DaxCobra's team that is now equipped by himself, akmuq, and a pair of Honda's. They have won many championships, including the TOCA title, but then Neljack was part of the team. After he received a better offer from DBC, akmuq was called in as replacement, but can the team return to success now?

VTEC: The biggest troll in TOCA history. Known for divebombing, ragequitting when he was accidentally hit off, and never winning a race properly. Got banned after the Tsukuba round in S3, where he mistook the other drivers as actors for the new film "The VTEC Tsukuba Massacre". The damage caused by him was so severe that he got sent off immediately and had to pay large sums to fix everyone's car and the damaged sections of the track as well.

VW: Too fast.

For those who may have missed as well.

Furinkazen
Pre Season Interview - The 4 Champions

All 4 of TOCA's champions are on track for the first time ever for a full season. DK, winner of the first two TOCA championships in the TOCA-spec era, Season 3 champion and RWD master Sumo098 after a season-long break, Season 4's winner the controversial DaxCobra, and reigning champion Spurgy, We got them sat down and asked them a few questions ahead of Season 6... ~Questions by Furinkazen~

Well... all 4 champions in TOCA Season 6 together, thats a quarter of the field. Does that make you nervous at all or do you just treat each other on track as a normal driver?

DK:I think that I've become more cautious rather than nervous with regards to other drivers. I know I had a really bad reputation back in TOCA's infancy, especially considering Sassafrass's hissy fit after Madrid in S2. At the end of the day, these are touring cars, contact is inevitable in these cars.

Sumo:Nah, I just destroy everyone in my path.

Dax:I don't really put much thought into that stuff. I usually am thinking about other things whilst driving, such as making sure I turn on Carbonox's heated seats then break the switch off. Silly penguin doesn't know what to do.

Spurgy:Having 4 champions doesn't make me nervous about the coming season at all. I've raced them all before so I know what they are all capable of and what I need to do to beat them.


Talk us through your new TOCA Season 6 Teams & cars.

DK:The Volvo seems to be weak in low-speed corners, it just lights up its fronts until you hit 3rd gear. It has a lot more bite in a straight line, too. Also, don't look at me oddly when you spot the action figure of a red-and-white anime mech on the dashboard.

Sumo:I'm with Dax and our car is a red BMW. That's all that I really know and care about.

Dax:My new car and team or everyones? My new team has a great driver in it. And Sumo.

Spurgy:My last team mate, Gokartman, couldn't make all of the races this season due to lack of sponsorship which mean't that I had to find a new team. RPM was looking for a new driver and had some good consistent results last season with Furinkazen, so I think I made a good choice in joining them for S6. RPM are also running the same car I was using last season which is the Volvo C30, which means that I don't need to worry about making new setups for a different car, but instead I can just improve on the setups I already have.


Is there anyone this season you think is going to be a surprise? A "dark horse" so to speak?

DK:I think the Infinitis pose a threat, and when the FWDs are struggling with tyre wear in the later stages, they may claim a few scalps there.

Sumo:Dunno, guess we'll have to wait and see.

Dax:Furinkazen.

Spurgy:I don't think anyone is going to surprise us this season, almost all the drivers have done at least one season so we know where everyone roughly ranks, but who knows, anything could happen so we will have to wait and see..


Indianapolis returns to the TOCA calendar, and Suzuka's full layout makes it's debut, thoughts?

DK:I thought Suzuka East was a poor choice. Maybe that was because I lost 25 points due to bullcrap penalties, but there simply wasn't any room there. At least the full course has more chances for overtaking.

Sumo:Indy is a fun track and I really like Suzuka full.

Dax:Yeah, but none AUP-friendly.

Spurgy:I was happy to see that there are longer tracks this season, as they are more suited to my driving style and they also make overtaking easier. This should hopefully mean better results for both me and my team mate compared to the short tracks last season.


Tyre wear is back with a new tyre compound this season, thoughts?

DK:I think it is going to add an extra tactical edge to testing. Drivers will need to decide between outright pace over a single lap or an advantage in the final stages of the race when everyone's struggling with tyre wear.

Sumo:SLIPPERY DOO DA!

Dax:LOLWUT?! Since when? That's great news.


Spurgy:This does add a new element to the races, but I do feel that it is unnecessary, and could be quite frustrating.


When the season finale arrives at the Nurburgring in December, do you think the title will still be up for grabs?

DK:Depends on how many races Spurgy misses.

Sumo:Most likely yes. Not that I will have any trouble procuring it of course.

Dax:Sure, but only the constructors. I will have the Drivers championship wrapped up by round one.

Spurgy:I think it will be seeing as this season there are 4 races to finish off with which means that there will be a lot of points up for grabs, but you never know, depends how the start of the season goes.


Any final thoughts?

DK:Furi can't resist saying "3 WIDE!" when he's on the motorway.

Sumo:I have to say, it's good to be back after this somewhat unintentional hiatus of mine.

Dax:Neljack is going to finish 2nd.

Spurgy:Looking forward to this season, hoping to continue my good results and wins from last season, with my aim being to secure the Team and Driver's championship.

So I am going to force Sumo into making loads of mistakes despite the fact this is my first year in F1? :)

And Kimi Carbonen will be really rubbish but luck into the championship because in the last race I have a gearbox issue.

Nope you are going to get a similar reputation.



Dax's fault again.



No wait I am thinking of Furi sorry.
 
My updated version, edits in red.

Carbonox
Here goes with a bit of additions.

The official TOCA dictionary for n00bs

Akmuq: The lad who has big words, but no championships. However, he might be dangerous. On a perfect day.

Altezza: Thought BMW was dominant? These things in S1 were 1.5 seconds a lap quicker... at Cape Inside. 200kg weight and 10% power barely bought them in line. That's dominance... (information by Furi)

Arcade draft: Draft was way too strong in S3, hence the name. Nowadays with the better settings, arcade draft won't be missed.

BMW: The fairly controversial car of S3 that hasn't been seen since. Known to dominate the whole season, leading Sumo and Neljack alone into the championship fight and allowing Dax to take some easy wins too, with only other BMW's as resistance most of the time. Now back with a fatter version looking to annex more poor FWD drivers and Infinitis.

Carbonox: AKA driving god. Expect to see the black Mazda with red rims ahead of you. Well, except obviously in the beginning of a reverse grid event.

Chqr: Well known troll who also likes to race (as well as do NASCAR). Watch out!

DaxCobra: The guy who likes to moan. Allegedly also the Season 4.2 champion, though in complete sense only a half-champion as the season wasn't completed. Approach carefully. Back after a season of sponsorship woes, more moans and a couple wins. Nothing new then.

DC: NOT DaxCobra, but DisConnected. The full word often gets censored in GT5's chat. Usually a result of a poor connection. DC translates to a DNF in the middle of a race.

Death By Carbon: A team run by me, making its second appearance this season. Neljack drives the #2 other car.

DK: AKA driftking18594, the one who nicknames his cars Asuka or something similar. Also a 1-and-a-half time champion.

DNF: Did Not Finish, in other words either DC'd, ragequitted, or got distracted. In any case, a DNF is worth no points and the last place on the grid for the following race.

DNQ: Did Not Qualify, might be home truth for anyone outside the top 12 who can't get in via the qualifying races. Expect sob stories and valiant failiures

DNS: Did Not Start. For DNS'ers, the fate is the same as for DNF'ers, even if the reason was a last minute DC (see above).

DSQ: DiSQualified. Either for reckless driving or doing something else stupid, like getting a Johny pole (see below) without yielding. Or having an illegal car. Whichever you prefer.

Durex: A popular sponsor for many TOCA teams, only to be let down close to the season for various reasons. Who knows, maybe it might be sponsoring DBC at the very moment?

Furi: Short for Furinkazen. The creator of TOCA who likes to play dirty despite the rules stating otherwise. He likes to play with his own rules despite clear arguments against them, so approach with caution. Also he likes to pick the dominant car whenever he can in order to win 1 race per season, as he often did... until Season 5.

Furi'ing tires: Wearing one's tires really quickly. Often used in other series rather than TOCA, because this one had no tire wear, until Season 6 re-introduced it. The name comes from-- well, try to guess.

Hispania - Unfortunate nickname of CALM DAN's Lexus. He was a decent driver, but he had a car that was only good on straights. Wait, thats better than a real Hispania...

Johny pole: A pole position gained in a reverse grid event by having a DNS or DNF in the previous race. Nowadays frowned upon and prohibited. Just try to guess where the name comes from.

Mazda-Honda rivalry: A rivarly that may finally heat up again with me in the Mazda and akmuq in a Honda, just like the old days. The rivalry began in Season 2 when we had a fight about which car is better. I guess Mazda won it that time, but now Honda wants revenge. For S6 Honda are getting really annoyed with some new electro-hatchback thingy called a CRZ.

Meganes: The support series for Season 3. Me and neljack won the championship despite a controversial final race incident involving lag.

Neljack: The one who always finishes 2nd or 3rd. Be it races or full championships. Well, except for that one FIA GT1 season. Now he's my teammate and looking for a brighter future. Who knows what can happen? Not much, and that's when he just bothers to turn up.

Paulmac2k9: Jason Plato's GTP account. Known for complaining about everything yet having a point, but no one notices as he complains. Considered Dax Cobra's role model. Also a very quick test driver and tuner.

Penguin: Everyone's favorite animal in TOCA. Who doesn't love a friendly neighborhood penguin?!

RPM: Furi's own team, previously known as MRT (Season 3) and FTR (Season 4). They won the teams' championship under the MRT name, but after akmuq left them, TomBrooks replaced him afterwards. Considering Furi's reputation, the team might have difficulties with getting another title, but signing defending champion Spurgy for Season 6 could change that.

Sumo: The Season 3 champion who hasn't been seen recently. Pretty much dominated the field that season, although there's a good excuse for that too - the BMW. Won on a one-off in ~shock~ a FWD Volvo in S5 at Spa, and decided to come back in ~shock~ a BMW for S6.

Tiebreaker: A word that Furi should learn. When two or more drivers are tied in points, the one with a better single race finish is put ahead. If it's the same, the quantity of those finishes decides it, and if they are the same too, the 2nd, 3rd etc. best finish decides the outcome.

After he received a better offer from DBC, akmuq was called in as replacement, but can the team return to success now? Answer turned out to be no due to Akmuq's internet having Leprechauns, Dax with no sponsor, but Dax decided to team up with Sumo for S6. Should be a threat, for a race or two before Dax quits again.

VTEC: The biggest troll in TOCA history. Known for divebombing, ragequitting when he was accidentally hit off, and never winning a race properly. Got banned after the Tsukuba round in S3, where he mistook the other drivers as actors for the new film "The VTEC Tsukuba Massacre". The damage caused by him was so severe that he got sent off immediately and had to pay large sums to fix everyone's car and the damaged sections of the track as well.

Errrrmmm, the whole idea of that was to be funny, somewhat insulting humour, you've just added factual stuff.

Madrid Mini: AKA 'That ****** little track'- A quite fun track with turn 1 wide enough for one car, Furi attended this event. RIP to the Spanish Nation.

Daytona: A track Furi seriously considers for every series, mainly as no skill is involved to getting around it and Furi can sometimes win there

BMW's stock turbo: A nice little feature on the BMW which Furi thinks makes the BMW faster despite the fact it's been tested

International Touring Car Championship: TOCA's first name, lasted for a day before everyone realized the majority here were from Great Britain and Ireland.

Front-Engined Rear Wheel Drive: A drive-train which is either faster or slower than FF, pick this and you never know how fast you will be.

Jamie: That's a name for fast people, Jamie-C and Jamie_STEEZ.
 
Probably around two weeks. Not for a while yet. Later this week stewards will be discussed.

Fun fact III.

I have collected points from every single TOCA race I've entered, with no DNF's or DNS's.

EDIT: That would still be the case if we counted with the old system (points for 10 drivers). ;)
