ToCA7 - Spurgy, Yeratel, RPM, Mazda Champions! Standings / All Time Up

[Furinkazen]

Me and PaulMac are discussing the specs, it's not 100% final until updated tech sheets are released tomorrow night.

 

[Akmuq]

While I'm not here just to moan, doesn't changing the specs of the majority of cars defeat the purpose? No point upgrading a car if an already faster car gets the same upgrade.

Drivers who deserve a slap:
Furi (appeared to be drunk ),
Dax.

lol, you know nothing.

how can polar and scanny be good drivers i turned into the pair of them at the corner around 5 times each and polar wiped me out around half way through after putting a wheel on the grass.

also the current upgrades are bs in my opinion as spurgy is massively clear in the championships as my honda needs an upgrade as i lose so many positions in the latter half of the race due to the battery running out, would love to see the championship standings if the races were stopped at half distance as i would be much higher. however we possibly might have new upgrades so i could potentially change my mind

A wheel on the grass is a mistake.

Honda LOST the ECU as it was stupid bullet speed.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Polar got on the grass and lost control, he then pulled over to let people back past. As for the rest of what I saw from him, he was in control and trying to avoid contact by braking early and not going for stupid moves. As for Scanny, I don't remember seeing him do anything, at least in the first few laps or R2, he seemed to be driving sensibly. As I said, I don't have time to look at every single person in detail for every race, so some people may have been driving better/worse the rest of the night.

when are the updated upgrades going to be announced?

Watch as the double maintenance destroy your work.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Scanny is one of the most clean and respectable racers I know, from racing him many times in many seasons of WSGTC etc. In most of those races we raced close for whole race lengths, we even had a race long battle at Nords. (2 hour race, 100% wet for most of it, I won by a few seconds..)

To add to that the amount we've touched in said races is next to none. Do remember these were heavy damage races and over an hour long each.

 

[Furinkazen]

Scanny did some door banging but nothing unacceptable.

Again, it's either "whack someone else" or "bitch because you get touched" (not aimed at anyone in specific.

 

[MSTER232]

Physics change? That means the specs for all the cars will have to be reconsidered.

 

[Furinkazen]

Probably a step to the old pp system. Would not affect us anyway.

Amen. +1

What does this even mean? How is it someone else's fault if, as you said, you turned into them?? I remember banging doors with you a couple of times Chris but nothing more. I only have R3 replay, if you watch me through the whole of that race when I was mid pack for the duration I barely touched anyone. R2 I was up front for the most part and R1 (my first race) was a minefield where I was running and I ended up being passed by people off circuit and shoved down to 14th.

As I said in an an earlier post I found it difficult to know where the limit was (both in terms of contact and track limits) given it was my first outing and what I was seeing around me. I also felt I'd been pushed around a bit in the 3 quali races I'd been in this past few weeks and had been too respectful, to my detriment as it turned out.

The last thing I'm going to add to the discussion about the Infiniti-specs. You do realise we had an all Infiniti-front row in Fuji after qualifying? That means two things...

a) it's not just Spurgy
b) if it's fast at Fuji, it hasn't got a straight line speed problem.

Now add the new spec to the better tyre wear and we have total annihilation of the FF-field.


And now for something completely different...

Forgot to apologise to Raceorama for the one (quite heavy) bump going into the tight section (can't remember which race, but probably the second one). Completely missed my braking marker and couldn't avoid you anymore. Fortunately you were able to take the wide line to the left - when I saw you rejoin I picked up speed behind you again.

Hey, I was topping Spurgy's clean driver's list! Unfortunately, the clean driving costs me a number of positions at times.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Btw Paulmac, the Infiniti is definitely not faster on the straights than the Mazda, it's about half way between the Mazda and BMWs IMO, where did you get that idea from?

Also, a suggestion for next week for everyone, if you have a problem with someone's driving, please don't come on the forums and just complain about everyone. Save the replay, watch it through, then tell Furi (and me if you want ) who was driving badly and on what lap(s), because it makes life a lot easier and will also mean I can categorise people based on all 3 races If you haven't saved the replay and you're not making a specific complaint, I don't want to hear about it, it's just pointless annoying babble

@Snow, the reason we topped the quali sheets is because we both had laps with a tonne of slipstream, or at least I did anyway

I forgot you ran TOCA. Oh wait I thought it was just Furi running this league. Shouldn't people just PM Furi if they have any problems, rather than you too so you can "categorise people"?

No worries mate, had forgot as well

 

[KingSakery]

Yeah I´m on the "List"

Scanny and me had a hard battle during Fuji, and maybe I was sometimes too hard to him and vice versa, but still cool.

I was in general a bit too aggresive when I review my races. Sorry for that but I think a few people should reduce ther aggresiveness too (IMHO).

@Furi: Sorry for my words on your spec changing. I know what you want to do and that´s good (maybe I was still a bit too ragy after them Races).
Will test what effect the "no-ECU" has on my Mini. Hopefully reduces the Tire-Wear to almost none xDDDD

I've been helping Furi out recently seeing as he has seemed pretty frustrated with everyone constantly complaining about everything all the time. But you're right, I should probably check with Furi before I make my help a regular thing 👍 But even if he doesn't want my help regularly, my point still stands that people shouldn't just complain about things in general, it really doesn't help too much and I find it pretty annoying because things don't get sorted properly.

 

[Furinkazen]

If anyone has thoughts, they are free to contribute, posts like Spurgy's are fine, but Pm is preferable for more detailed explanations.

Infiniti spec change likely to be reversed, expect the news around 7 tonight.

I had slip stream all the way around the track on my pole lap.

Quite a lot of people are using the mobile phone app now. But that's a feature that needs to be added.

Spurgy the Mazda has better acel than the Infi but the Infi gets a higher top speed in the end. I went on only top speeds as trying to calulate each cars acel with it's TS would be too difficult... And leave BMW 3 seconds behind..
