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. :P
 
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...

Sorry for my lack of involvement for a while. Been lurking waiting for V8s, and I will definitely do that again
 
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
 
VW Bus.....................what next a bloody trike?

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

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?
 
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.
 
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 .
