FRL - Furi Racing Leagues - Club Thread moving to Discord, news posted.

[LancerEvo7]

Agreed. But we might do something....

Hopefully it's not something as brilliant as using GT3s for DTM instead of, oh, VLN.

 

[Roflwaffle]

Also no dynamic time/weather is a big loss for WSC...

 

[Foxed]

It's still way too early for WSC imo, not enough cars or especially tracks.

As Far as Prototypes are concerned.....yes I agree, however there are enough GT class cars to make a start on BoP.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Prototypes are only missing one car from before, it isn't all that bad. And with liveries being a thing now there won't be an excess of red.

 

[Furinkazen]

So after a bit of thinking, decided that ToCA and WSC will be my primary focuses from now on.

Also updated driver listing, and a reminder that for any of you guys free on saturdays who are not ready competing, ToCA has two weeks left, Blue Moon & Brands, and then a gap before the 300th ToCA race at Bathurst, a non-points, full damage Endurance event.

Also checking all details are right here...

You spelled my name right and got the number right. God bless.

Can confirm ToCA15 has got a RWD being evaluated.

I'm taking a guess at the M4, as it would make the most sense. And if it is, there's a slight chance that I'll sign up.

Oh here we go with the stupid teasers again.

 

[Spurgy 777]

Teasing stuff that in all likelihood will be impossible to spec so won't end up in TOCA15 anyway.

4wd car for toca 16, and Sambabus for toca 17.

 

[Furinkazen]

Samba Bus is more likely option. 👍

 

[cnd01]

Sorry for my lack of involvement for a while. Been lurking waiting for V8s, and I will definitely do that again

 

[Furinkazen]

WSC news. Been issues speccing a lot of cars. Fuel consumption is ridiculously different (Alpine / Mustang), some of the cars just have plain weird performance levels (2000GT). The Dodge is just a boat. Titanic handled better. So to simplify things we're going back to a spec second class, the GT-P XJ13 and 330P4 shall be joined by a secondary category for the iconic VW Samba bus. Running at full power and minimum weight, this will provide a quirky secondary battle to WSC XI. Thread launches in 8 Days, after i'm back from going away Brands Hatch. #WSCXI #BringOnTheBugs

 

[Foxed]

VW Bus.....................what next a bloody trike?

2000 GT will be getting added to the list as the Dodge has got the boot.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I'm surprised there wouldn't be 3 classes with the available roster we have.

Taking inspiration from my series I see.

1st of April is certainly a good time to post some insanely silly ideas.

WSC XI will be out later in the year.

I took everything but the Sambabus as truth.

WSC XI will be out later in the year.

 

[Furinkazen]

Is being worked on now. Not decided on full technical regs now but @LancerEvo7 has reprised his role of prototype spec tester. @FlyingFox is assisting with production car ranks and @snowgt will do final specs.

WSC in a capacity will be 100% happening.

[sigh] Me too

For now FRL is solely focused on ToCA15. 10 or 11 week time period back to 8 race weekends plus media day. Hopefully just the one mid season break weekend. May have another end of season event as well not a Bathurst race.

So from you guys, any thoughts, suggestions, improvements for T15?

Not tagging us all the time.

 

[GTPorsche]

If another end of season special race for TOCA is gonna be held, I suggest running double length races, or running a 4th race instead of an endurance.

I did like the qualifying format better yesterday, just as long as the grid gets set properly for the race start.

 

[LewisR3]

Lot of races there wasn't a need for Q1 so one of my small suggestions would be to skip that if there is no need for it. Purely so we can get under way with Q2 & get racing quicker .

Though I appreciate some people don't turn up till Q2 anyway so I understand why it may not be possible.

Another point, is more for other people if they're going to commit to a series then actually turn up. I think several people signed up but then had other racing committments? Be nice to get a full 16 driver grid regularly .

Apart from that, I had enjoyable first season and learnt a lot. The two stand out weekends for me was the opening brands hatch and monza. There is some quick guys in this and I struggle to even make top 10 as I suspect I lose out when it comes to setup.
Hopefully for next season I can team up with somebody to help with the setup side of things

Thanks for hosting Furi & see you guys for TOCA 15 .
