TOCA6 - Spurgy, Team RPM, Volvo, and Chris Champions!

[Furinkazen]

3 drivers are going to be investigated.

@Dax, held Race 2 by 7 minutes for you...

 

[raceorama123432]

Once I get half the replays sent to me.

I'm not impressed myself.

You couldn't wait 5 minutes for me before race two, the BMW is ridiculously slow and the racing was pretty poor tonight. I am trying to give everyone room but I have people diving all over the place, making the situation ridiculous. No such thing as people being patient in TOCA, more a case of see a gap and take it.

Not sure weather I want to stay when I can hop into a clean and fun race on iracing every hour.

I'll send you them if you want

 

[DK]

Damn, I was hoping for a Top 6 finish tonight, I can't believe I got onto the podium TWICE!

 

[smuffyatfcp]

Good to see the seasons of to a good start then

 

[Carbonox]

Dax, remember to include the moment when you rammed me at the last turn of the first lap at R3 in TOCATube.

C'mon guys, lets be rational

 

[Tom]

I do hope that this season isn't going to be another moan fest.

 

[neljack]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy

 

[FlyingFox]

I do hope that this season isn't going to be another moan fest.

Guaranteed

 

[Furinkazen]

Guaranteed it won't be.

I am getting weedkiller tomorrow. Funny thing, only two complaints officially received to investigate. Nothing else.

You will get more tomorrow when I watch those replays.

All standings unofficial pending Race 3 investigation.

 

[james6653]

Wow only locked out by a few points.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

7 points behind DK in the independents but 21 races to close the gap, also with smuffy coming back it may be a 3 horse race for the title

DK shocked me with his pace.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

maybe sandbagging in testing?

 

[Michelin]

It seems the race was a crash festival, am I right?

 

[Spurgy 777]

Only the third race, the others were pretty decent

 

[FlyingFox]

Tyre degridation stopped me from getting a podium in race 3

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Furi, would it not make more sense to balance the manufacturers' standings? As, at the moment, the fact that there are so many Volvos is skewing it.

You could average the points or maybe take the top 2 in each car to count?

EDIT: Looks like you took the top 3 for each car. But my point still stands as the Volvo and the Honda were the only cars that there were 3 of.


Also, the Volvo took 6 of the 9 available podium spaces.

Yes it's Top 3 per car. Had Kartman not broken the rules and gone in a Volvo in R2, he could have had his 3rd count for points for Honda.

 

[Furinkazen]

Ok as this was everyone's gripe, here is my Race 3 event log:

Lap 1, Start straight. Haitch is slow as he wants to get out of people's way, Chris moves across rather than smack into him and this forces Spurgy into both Pirtek cars.

Lap 5, Out of turn 1 theres a small touch thats gets Carb twitchy. Spurgy then takes a normal line into the chicane but Haitch bombs up the inside which pushes Spurgy right into Carb. Carb quits because of that, and Gokart follows him after.

A number of drivers are getting warnings and possible time penalties. I'm being less lenient now, most of you guys have been in this long enough to know what happens. One warning is all you will get now, not two or three.

 

[Lizard]

Ok lap 5 I will be the honest man and say it was likely it was never going to work.

If you want to penalise me I am fine with that.

Although it was hardly a bomb furi. I was almost touching Spurgy, he braked, I turned to avoid rear ending him and there wasnt enough track to take us all. When I touched Spurgy I hadn't even reached the corner apex and had a choice of straight or grass.

And sorry Carb.

 

[Furinkazen]

Right, Official Standings and Penalty detail.

*RPM should have 25 points from race 3, and 95 points overall.

~Race 2 - Gokartman was Disqualified for running an unregistered car (Volvo) He is on probation for two events as a result.

Missed your post haitch, at least you've apologised 👍

How many spaces are available for qualifying?

Providing top 12 are present, should be 4.

Well I'm 🤬 then.

 

[Furinkazen]

Well I'm 🤬 then.

That is only if all 12 turn up. If anyone says they can't make it, then there is an extra place.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Why am I on probation for being crashed into all the time, none of the incidents were my fault, and you can't make the result official because I haven't even had a chance to send you my complaints yet. Can't get to the replays until tonight.

 

[DaxCobra]

Dax, remember to include the moment when you rammed me at the last turn of the first lap at R3 in TOCATube.

And you guys call me a moaner...
