It's days like these I wish position swaps returned as a penalty. I definitely lost at least 5 places because of Furi on the last lap of R3.

I lost 6 places on the final lap of R2 because of Nin...
 
I'm not blaming you, i'm just saying that it all started when you got on the inside of me, then Furi did, then I couldn't see where I was going at Blanchmont, then the bus stop was absolute chaos.
 
Happy with my podium in Race 3 as it sets me up nicely in the top 12 and extends my independent lead to 2nd in the championship

And there's nobody who's annoyed about that more than me! Every little helps to get the overall Championship! :lol:
Still, good race mate! That's the Pug's best result is it?
 
This was probably my best ToCA weekend so far... although I've always performed well at Spa in ToCA :sly:👍

In R1 the reason @DrifterJoe and me pulled such a big gap over the pack was because I could never get alongside him before Les Combes to try an overtake, so since we weren't really fighting for position the gap just kept growing. I was only able to get by him on the very last lap when he understeered at Raidillon and I was able to pass him from the outside entering Les Combes. But the win was only secured on the bus stop after some corners taken side by side (mighty fine racing there Joe 👍), and he passing me before Blanchimont but being unable to take that corner using the best line allowed me to go beside him and pass him on the outside

R2 I was able to secure a podium finish at the very end of the race after some good battles and an awesome pass on @Roflwaffle from the outside on Raidillon (L4 if you guys want to check that out :D) but unfortunately he kinda ruined the moment by pushing me wide after Les Combes...

Finally in R3 I had one of those perfect first laps where I was always on the right spot to take advantage of other people mistakes and by the end of sector 2 I was already in 4th place after starting at the back of the grid. After I got in front I kept pushing in order to try and get the FL to try and gain as much as possible on Joe regarding the championship, but with a Pole and 2 FL for him against a sole FL for me in the end I only gained 2 points on him after this Round... also I can say for sure that we were on a class of our own given we were the only guys driving below 2:30 in each of the three races...

The Nissan is absolutely helpless on straights. All I'm asking is that it gets boosted so that it'll be normal compared to other cars around it.

Can never stress this enough, unfortunately this message has already been buried a couple pages down.
 
The Nissan is quite fast in the corners, though. Perhaps it could be pegged back there while its power is increased?

I haven't raced it under race conditions tbf so cant really comment.I just know i asked for a look simply because nobody seemed to be using it which naturally makes you concerned:sly: anyway no matter.:) I understand Carb likes a moan at the best of times so.:lol:
 
The Nissan is fine, don't touch it. It's competitive at Spa and that's its worst track.

And what's that myth about it being slow on the straight? Did you even compare its top speed to other cars?

Did gokartman drive it at Spa? If so, how did he do?

I am more pre occupied with claims that the top 3 in the championship should be excluded. Nissan is slow though.

It seems pretty serious to me. It's something that will dictate the outcome of this whole championship...

Could be presented better. I've said i'll check matter in hand.
 
Official Statement:

There appears to be some confusion as to what is going on, so I will clear it. After the conclusion of the Spa event of ToCA10 I received a lengthy PM regarding the legality of @Yeratel84 @snowgt @DrifterJoe 's race cars. I took this seriously and did forward to other stewards (@Carbonox , @gokartman78 ). I have personally reviewed each car in the Spa event tonight through analysing the replay for signs of engine change and suspension difference and found nothing to support these claims. On a secondary note, car specs are to be revised for second half of the season slightly.

Furi.

Others are bitter that those 3 are so much quicker than others, so that they challenge the legality of their cars, it was like in F1 when teams were questioning the legality of the Red Bull every race weekend because they were kept winning

Just taking it for what it is... a joke :lol:
 
I just know I didn't cheat at Spa. :lol:

I mean, with the continuing absence of any support by PD in that regard, there always has to be a bit of trust that drivers will spec their cars accordingly, but I actually do believe that it would show pretty quickly, if somebody tried to use a prohibited part, and especially the guys you're usually racing closest with would notice the soonest, if something fishy was going on. Now, I don't know who complained and I don't want to know, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't anyone in the top 5 of the championship. Am I right? :rolleyes:
