TOCA Season 4 OFF

[V8-Johnboy]

17 entries though... WOW. Never expected this. And a lot of teams as well... Sumo is lone independent

Proves my point about hogging a spot Furi with my random participation:tup: Will keep an eye on things and maybe drop in for the odd race if its quiet i doubt it will be however.
Welldone and goodluck.

 

[Canudigthis]

Just to confirm..... Canudigthis and Driver101 r teammates, I see we haven't been paired on page 1 yet

Vox Racing Driver tombrooks97 has been catching up with Steve Rider for an interview about 2012's TOCA Season 4.

Steve Rider: Hi Tom, great to see you again.

Tom Brooks: Hi Steve, Yeah it's great to be back in TOCA.

SR: So moving from DB Motorsports to the newly founded Vox Racing, a tricky decision?

TB: Indeed, Dan is a fantastic driver and I would like to thank him and DBM (Now GWR) for giving me the opportunity in such a fantastic team for a drive in Season 3. However my lack of sponsorship ruled me out for most of the season. But after the Official Team Launch yesterday and taking the cars for a shake-down around Spa-Francorchamps, everything seemed positive and I am really looking forward to Season 4.

SR: So how does the Volvo compare with the BMW?

TB: Well it's very different, I prefer a RWD car as I like to be able to feel and control the power to my own preference, however with these new FWD Only Regulations it will certainly take some getting used to.

SR: Are you hoping to be in the Championship hunt for 2012?

TB: I hope so, with a team as strong and well-funded as Vox Racing we should be up the sharp end of the grid and with Tom as a team-mate, podiums and wins are definitely a possibility.

SR: Do you have enough sponsorship to make it through the season?

TB: Yes, Vox Racing are well funded and my personal sponsorship is now only a bonus to the team. There will be no risk of me dropping out or not turning up to race meetings mid-season as was the case in Season 3. I may miss a few races due to personal commitments or illness but other than that I aim to be racing for the full season.

SR: What's it like to have Tom as a team-mate?

TB: Tom's a great guy, I've raced with him in other categories and there's no denying he's fast. We have a good relationship and I hope for it to continue in the future. I am honoured to be alongside him at Vox Racing.

SR: Tom, it's been great to chat, I hope we can catch up soon.

TB: I look forward to it. Thanks, Steve.​

[Furinkazen]

''The Flying Dutchman" wants to enter TOCA S4 with a Ford Focus ST, Sumo do you want me as a team-mate like the FIA GT1 Series?

Uh oh its LK!!!!

Canu - we need to test these cars bud

I see suspension set up is allowed, best we get cracking....

@ Carbon - please dont worry about lag from us, don't think we have had lag for ages....oh....and we will be super clean, that's our style.

Welcome!

I didn't see my name in the "updated" sign-up list, so I thought I'd bring it up again. :/

Will update 👍

Steve Rider: Hi Jake, great to see you again.

Jake Ringwood: Can we get this over with?

SR: So moving from independant to the newly founded VenoMMotorsport, a tricky decision?

JR: Well, neljack begged me to join his team, so I had no choice.

SR: So how does the Atenza compare with the BMW?

JR: What do you think? The BMW was much better but the Atenza will have to do.

SR: Are you hoping to be in the Championship hunt for 2012?

JR: Hunting implies it will be a challenge.

SR: Do you have enough sponsorship to make it through the season?

JR: I'm a millionaire. If we get short on funds, I just reach into my pants and find some loose $1000000 notes.

SR: What's it like to have Alex as a team-mate?

JR: Pretty annoying to be honest. He keeps asking me "How are you so fast?" and "What line do I take through here?" Might just do like Red Bull at Turkey in 2010 each race.

SR: Tom, it's been great to chat, I hope we can catch up soon.

JR: You wish.

Neljack, I think you might be eating your words about the best interview.

TOCA S4 Aim : Domination of all races, it's possible!

 

[Carbonox]

Yay teh soundz are back in GT5!

Umm, anyway... I guess it's obvious, but I hope LKW also has his lag sorted, I don't even want to remember that dreaded Suzuka race anymore.

You do realize you're kind of taking the fun away from the others if you win everything by 10+ seconds? I wouldn't consider that interesting at all if I led the way in all the races.
