TORA ISCC 2012 Update.

Many manufacturers have submited cars for evaluation for the 2012 series. So far the usual suspects with a couple more to come. 5 cars, to the best of our knowledge, are still yet to come. However we have had a couple of surprises come out of the wood work, mostly in GT. BMW have submited 2 cars we expected the BMW M3 GT2 but a week later BMW submited an upgraded version of their GT3 Z4. The car looks and sounds the part so it'll be interesting to see if both are able to make the final cut. The biggest surprise, however, came from a manufacture that has never raced with the ISCC, Rossian. The Q1, which produces a tremendous amount of downforce for a car of it's type, hopes to make the final cut and make it's ISCC debut in Europe next year. LMPC the new class for 2012 is the only class that has all of it's cars that are being entered (as it is a spec class) submited for testing but the unexpected was seeing Oreca present an LMP class version of its FLM 09. Will the 3 cars make the final cut? It all depends on testing which is up to you!

It will be good to see how the Z4 GT3 will stack up. Because I think it is a great car, and it could do well.

Other then that, I hope some more GT3 cars get released in November and December.

I have a feeling that LMPC is going to be very popular. The cars are just great fun to drive.

I also feel that TCS should be disallowed for the GTE and LMPC classes, just like the real thing, as cars are much more manageable without TCS this time around?

What ever happens, i'm really looking forward to next years ISCC, especially with the ability to have over two classes in one lobby.

GTE's w/o TCS?

*bites nails* this may be just me, but the first night or two of getting FM4 and hadnt gotten used to the Simulation steering, i couldnt control the #83 F430GT at all w/o TCS.... (was in a lobby of friends i race with most of time on Friday nights that run with ALL assists forced off)

I am happy to say I can drive pretty well without TCS! And simulation steering is so much fun!! Next year should be good!

EDIT: And yes, I can drive pretty well in the Aston Lola!

Can't wait for this to start get back out in the LMP's

As I've said before, everyone has their own built in TCS.

Its called your right foot!

Its great fun isn't it mate? I'm freaking love Forza 4. The new handling physics/model is suiting me down to the ground. In this game, you have to drive the cars very precisely and my driving style is working a treat on this game.

I cannot wait for next years ISCC. Expect us to be racing the Lola Aston Martin again mate.

What ever driver aids makes the experience great for each individual person we will allow, there are a few things that will be madatory but forcing people to run with out TCS will not happen. It'll be just like this past year where it was drivers choice.

As I don't know what cars are going to be in this years ISSC LMP classes can you maybe let me know which cars I should be looking at to choose when I level up. I wouldn't wanrt to choose one that isn't eligible,
cheers

I was gonna say "Or the right analogue stick for some lol!

And yeah! Its suiting me amazingly well, I mean look at last night! I was catching Chaddy pretty quickly and when I was ahead of him, I kept leaving him! And my epic start on race 2! From 6th to 2nd! I have driven the Aston with your tune and it is just simply amazing! Next year, expect some podiums from me!!!!

when are the cars getting released? are they in testing at the moment?

i would like to start on looking at cars to decide which car to go for.

Had fun with the Lola last night.

You might be able to get a fair clue from the cars in the TORA garage. Look at what Louis has added (press X to filter).

I'm really happy with the performance of the Oreca and the Lola at the 990-999 level, and they both actually feel like cars, unlike the diesels!

The Acura 01b is lovely to drive in that range aswell, i have to say

I'm really looking forward to the ISCC now, plenty of choice in LMP

twas what I was going for

just waiting for the official list to be announced then i will start testing myself.

do you get awarded any of the LMPC cars by the game when you reach driver levels before i buy any using credit? and if so then what level do they start getting awarded, im at 40 at the time of writing this.

Oz, if you look at my post on page 1 you'll see the list of lmp cars that you get awarded. Levels 49 & 50.

Ah yea so i see, must of missed that little thread there lol,

cheers mate
