Sounds good. Put me down for an Independent VW, as I know I'll miss both Brands Indy and Red Bull Ring due to a clash with another series.

Alright. Got your # / Team Name? Running Independent or attempting to form a team?
 
I'll run as an Independent. However if someone wants to team with me I'm open to running a 2 car operation.

As for car number and team. 13 for me and the team is Raptor Race Engineering (with a team sponsor to be announced).
 
Foxed

Updated, if you wish to form a team (even temporarily) let me know, VW is currently only open manufacturer to new drivers with Fox announcement. However I am also aware someone else has said they go VW, so it's like dominos at the moment...

EDIT VW manufacturer slot has been taken by ECM.

In 1980, CSX Transportation was created, a merger of two railroad conglomerates, the Chessie System, made up of the Baltimore & Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio, and Western Maryland Railroads...

...and the Seaboard System, made up of several small railroads, most notably the Seaboard Coast Line.

Both systems maintained their own identities within the new holding company until 1986, at which time the three Chessie railroads were merged together, then into the Seaboard to create CSX as it is known today. Soon after, the first CSX-liveried units began hitting the rails.

And here are our full-season liveries. In the spirit of ToCA's 10th anniversary season, and CSX's 35th anniversary as an operating railroad, our independent car driven by @Andil will run the original CSX scheme for the full season.

He'll share the track with the two team cars, driven by myself and @cnd01 and sporting CSX's modern colors.

Hello everybody! So important news...

Firstly I've taken the decision to move "Media Night" (the pre-season test and photos) to TOMORROW instead of next friday night. I feel it would be more beneficial primarily for american drivers who might not be able to make a friday afternoon their time. Media Night format will be as follows, with times in GMT: 19:00 - Test #1 - Blue Moon Bay 20:00 - Group photoshoot - I would like to get some pictures of all the cars along the front straight on the apron as well as the traditional tracking shots around the track, will put more about that tomorrow 20:15 (approx) - Test #2 - The new track of Red Bull Ring for 60 minutes to round off the evening. Please inform me if you can make it for the session as there is 16 lobby spaces and as of now 20 sign-ups. I know Raptor won't be making it, but myself, Rob are 100% in and Liam is a 50-50.

Thanks to @wants to go to the lobby for informing me that US clocks change soon - please note week #2 and Week #3 will be 1 hour LATER for US drivers.

BoP has been updated on GTP thread - and is now locked. Unless Stewards see need to make an Emergency Adjustment - the BoP shown will be the BoP for Weeks 1-3 (after which it will be reviewed).

Added Racing Hard Tyres to car specs (missing tyres from the car spec sheets)

Updated the OP graphic with a number of new images from the GT5 and GTS ToCA seasons. If anyone wants any the individual slide(s), feel free to ask me for them.

Updated entry list:

@ToCA18 Just an update for tonight's shoot - if we can have teams using either there full season livery or if it's not ready there testing livery.
Photoshoot, thinking kind of WSC-Classic Le Mans Style - with the Team cars at front along the apron, followed by Independents, if we can get a fairly consistent spread between them all for pctures (maybe by manufacturer for the non-works backed Independent entries?)
Order for the Manufacturer Teams at front
1) ECM-VW
2) FAS-Audi
3) Lexar-Hyundai
4) RaceFox-Peugeot.
Hopefully see majority of you there tonight.
 
So we've had a few test sessions going, most activity been on the discord.... still couple places open for the weekend.
 
Updated BoP for the Toyota - granted a change after further testing. Car has 2% more power after testing.
