The biggest TOG motorsport event of the year is here. From Tuesday the 31st of October, Teams from TOG FV, DIC ,and
independents will be competing in the ten rounds of the TOG V8 Supercar
Series 2006.
Drivers will be travelling the country to
compete in the first nine events, with the final round at Bahrain
International Circuit , the home of motorsport in the Middle East.
After a 30 minute qualifying period, the general race length is one hour and requires at least one pit stop.
Exceptions to this will be a two hour enduro event to be held at Mount
Panorama on Sunday the 17th of December, and the final round at Bahrain
Tuesday 16th Jan will last one and a half hours. Racing is competed
online using our own TOG server and the brilliant racing simulation
engine, RFactor.
All drivers are expecting some tension building starts and very sweaty Ugh boots by race finish.

nine teams entered, Drunkards in Combat have six teams, and eight teams
from the For Valour Racing stable, will be fighting for position on the
scoreboard.
On the technical side, drivers have been attending car setup lessons
and there will be some highly tweaked race vehicles competing for a
podium position at each event. Spray booths have been working around
the clock and the vehicles arrived Sunday the 29th sporting team
colours and vinyls.
Some breathing room for the competitors came up when it was announced
that the extremely fast, Garry “Machine” Cross is unable to compete due
to other racing commitments. Leaving the likes of, long time racers T0p
Secret and Tarquin, the new and recently victorious Wrexxx and Wolf
“Slow and Steady” Web, to fight for their positions on the ladder.
