TOCA driving tips

5 posts by 4 people · 01 May 1998 - 05 May 1998

I recently bought TOCA Touring Cars. In qualifying at Donnington for a single (non-championship) race, I'm about 5 seconds slower than pole position. I seem to be cornering as fast as possible and any attempt to go faster results in spinning off. Trying to cut corners usually results in a spin on the grass. It would be useful if you could select one of the other drivers to demonstrate a hot lap (as in GP2). This would give some pointers as to where I'm going wrong. Any tips from experienced drivers on good techniques, particularly cornering and fast starts ? --

R: I always felt you can't win the qualifying session. The best you can get is a little bit better than mid pack. I believe they do this for a fun factor so you daon't start in front and lead the whole race. At least your gonna have to pass a few racers and possibly get bumped off along the way to make things challanging. Q.B.M.

Well, there is no trick. It's simply a bug that during qualify other cars go that much faster.

Possibly they pitched the difficulty level too low (I don't consider myself an expert driver) my best at Donnington is 1.28 but I've seen times far better than this. -- UK
