A question - if you all could add 1 thing to TOCA, what would it be? Seriously?

Paulmac's setup's.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Sure I'll give you my hopeless Rwd ones 👍.

Grid girls.

Season 3.

Testing Tonight??

Testing Tonight??

Nope NASCAR Trucks, which has room tonight.

Nope NASCAR Trucks, which has room tonight.

When is next test?

1 thing I would add to TOCA though is KERS.

I know it isn't used really in touring cars in real life and it certainly isn't on gt5 but I think it would help make great racing.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Is used in Scirocco Cup. They get 11 or something "boosts" which I believe is a battery style Kers system which gives them an extra 30 bhp for how many ever seconds it lasts for .

Edit: From Wiki..

More power for the BMW

More power for the BMW

Second that.

Or the weight reduction.

Well more power for the Infiniti. It is seriously underpowered compared to the Mazda and Volvo. And Tire wear isn´t an argument because 10 laps isn´t enough that wear comes to play.
Although in the Test race we had I could "block" the FF-armada really good but one little incident destroyed my 4 lap efforts and finally I had an 8 second gap (=> 6 laps = 8sec slower => 1.3 seconds per lap slower)

Addition: Maybe I can make the Season opener 👍

 

[Akmuq]

Why does the BBC F1 Highlights include watching drivers blink and stare at timing screens?

 

[Furinkazen]

Season 6 pushed back a week to avoid a clash with all star. As a result there is no week off this season.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Update OP then .

+1 . This was one of the first things JB said to me about the car. it lacks something down the straight. was the sports ECU allowed in the end?

 

[Furinkazen]

~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.~

​

Infiniti was granted a break, BMW may be, Schedule updated.

 

[Akmuq]

What's the difference? (In schedule)

 

[Furinkazen]

First 4 races are week later than usual, as Matty's All-Star is finishing a week later. This means no mid season break. However there still stands that there may be a gap week at some point depending on if I am moving house.

 

[Furinkazen]

Carbonox and Neljack are continuing with me as TOCA Stewards, Akmuq is not, and that leaves a vacancy. A vote will be held this week for who will be replacement steward - eligibility criteria to be revealed next couple days.

 

[raceorama123432]

Extreme Racecars Lands Sponsor

The Extreme Racecars boys landed their first sponsor, Specialist Paints, and are very proud of their find. The sponsor agreed shortly after painting raceoramas' car. Extreme Racecars say that there may be more to come.

 

[Furinkazen]

Right, Akmuq's departure as a Steward leaves a vacancy open as a TOCA Steward.

Me, Carbonox, and Neljack are the other Stewards, and the replacement has to fall under several criteria:

~They finished in the TOCA Top 12 in Season 5
~They are a previous champion in TOCA

Eligible drivers are:

Spurgy777
JoeOfTheFire
Atin
ChrisJohnson
DaxCobra
Haitch
Smuffy
Frasier
DK
Sumo

~Anyone of the TOCA Season 6 drivers may vote, I will send a PM out within 48 hours.
~You CANNOT vote for your own teammate.
~You can only pick ONE driver.
~After I set a vote deadline, any votes received afterwards will NOT count.

Questions anyone??

 

[paulmac2k9]

Sure thats fair, just leave out me for good measure ay? Also one thing you may want to do is not allow those who have had serious offences in Toca races.

From those I vote Spurgy though.. Sorry Daxy babe .

 

[Akmuq]

Click that^

 

[Spurgy 777]

Oh no, a plug, get it off the thread And I wouldn't mind being steward, have plenty of time to watch through replays for incidents then toss a coin to decide who's fault it was

 

[Carbonox]

I love Dax the most, so he's gettin' my vote.

 

[neljack]

I love Dax the most, so he's gettin' my vote.

 

[Spurgy 777]

No one loves you Neljack...

 

[Carbonox]

You aren't eligible so obviously I can't nominate you lolz.
