New Add-on: Codename "Toad"

Paulo Ribeiro · Oct 25, 2008

Which addon you would like to have in a very short future?

Definitely Dutch Supercar Challenge with the all 4 classes :dance:

“We have secured licenses for a couple of highly requested series...

May we get more than just one series???
They definitley said they have more than one new licence!

Martijn van Bommel · Nov 16, 2008

I do hope it will be the V8 cars from Australia,fantastic tracks and close racing.

Mirage86 · Nov 22, 2008

Japanese Super GT!

Nigel Roberts · Nov 23, 2008

Where are all these V8 rumours coming from

heres an extremely safe bet it WONT be Aussie V8's, in fact your much more likely for it to be an F1 expansion or Rebull Air Race expansion or a Donkey winning the 2009 Melbourne Cup than it is to be an Aussie V8 expansion. It has been stated many times already why it wont be Aussie V8's:quiet:

Warren Dawes · Nov 23, 2008

I agree Nigel, I am also positive it wont be Aussie V8's, but all the speculation just goes to show how popular that series would be.
Sigh! What a shame Codemasters ruined it for the serious simmers.

I second that. I own V8 Supercars 3 (TOCA Race Driver 3) and it is SO unrealistic. I mean, come on! 1:45s at Bathurst? Gimme a break. But Codemasters probably still has the license, so all hope is lost for now. :disapointed:

Istvan Schmidt · Nov 23, 2008

Le Mans Series Would be nice.

Rok Prosen · Nov 25, 2008

F1, LeMans and Porsche Cup

Martijn van Bommel · Nov 25, 2008

porsche supercup would do just fine also

Anyone seen the latest Race-Pro announcements, Road America is in there, ALMS = "Toad" anyone?

The American Le Mans Series raced on these tracks in 2008, which are the ones they'd include I suppose:

1. Sebring
2. St. Petersburg
3. Long Beach
4. Houston
5. Miller
6. Lime Rock
7. Mid-Ohio
8. Road America (CHECK)
9. Mosport
10. Detroit
11. Road Atlanta
12. Laguna Seca (CHECK)

There's 10 that need to be made spaced out over the country. Everything is possible. Making the cars is no problem for sure. The whole endurance/night racing thing + large grid is a bit of an issue but maybe they'll implement it anyway? It's not impossible. Computers will be more powerful by next year and the engine will remain the same, so that might excuse 'more' load on the computer with more cars on track.

So far though it's only two North American tracks and that's not much. It is more likely they are token tracks put in to make Race Pro more marketable in USA.

ok, after some research because i was bored and i really want to know what the hell this addon is i spent some time researching toads!!!

oddly enough i couldnt find anything car related! and all i could find country related was that TOADS are native almost everywhere appart from Australia (V8's).

but then that would say, no toads in australia soooooooo...... i am still no closer then i was before! Just thought i would join in the confusion.

Ross Balfour · Nov 26, 2008

Hmm again I have no idea, but the more time we wait, the better the sim will be

Mikkow · Nov 26, 2008

Funny, people trying to figure out what TOAD would mean. I honestly think there's no connection what so ever to what it really is. Just a codeword. If there is a hidden meaning, it's so remote and vague that it'd be impossible for an outsider to figure it out.

I just saw half a SuperLeague Formula race on TV the other day. 4.2 liter V12's with 750 hp.. The engines sound marvelous, almost like early 90's F1 cars. But they don't look anywhere near having 750hp. They move similar to F3000 cars. Any ideas?

David Mansfield · Nov 26, 2008

I'm still up for getting a toad and seeing how fast it goes round Spa and seeing what car class its closest to!? no?

To be honest there is only 1 racing series i would be really excited about, and thats TRUCK RACING!! VROOM!! can't see it happening tho.

Moving away from what new cars, champs and tracks will be in the add-on I would love SimBin to add multi class options to custom champs. So for example you could run a touring car champ with works and independents or a gt champ with more than one class of gt car - each class gets its own points leaderboard, would be a great addition in my opinion.

Andreas Ronnback · Dec 5, 2008

i would like to race som supertourers.......

Tim Ling · Dec 5, 2008

How about karts? Easy to make, small circuits, fun to race

Absolutely! Normally when I do mixed races I have to make a Microsoft Word account of each class (To be correct)
