TOCA Race Driver 3 |

See the sparks fly in TOCA Race Driver 3 – the most detailed damage engine ever revealed!
Renowned for delivering the most realistic and impressive crashes, collisions and damage effects in racing games, Codemasters’ TOCA series is about to up the ante.
For TOCA Race Driver 3, a hugely advanced version of the series’ proprietary Terminal Damage Engine is being designed to deliver 100 times the level of damage effect detail.
TOCA Race Driver 3’s advanced Terminal Damage Engine will be even richer in its damage visuals thanks to incredible particle effects and, most importantly, far deeper in terms of physics that effect the driver’s car handling and ultimately the race result.
The additional particle effects create hugely impressive visuals that really show the punishment the car is receiving: sparks fly spectacularly when it bottoms out and ends up grounding the car. Windshields will shatter, wings will get ripped off, spoilers will break and fly from the car. Plus, new game effects will show incremental amounts of damage as bodywork realistically deforms around crumple zones during a race.
Keeping an eye on the state of the car’s tires is key; watching for wear and temperature. Any impact to the tires can send the wheels into misalignment, resulting in juddering drive as players head for the pit lane. If tires become too worn during a race, they’ll overheat and, if there’s no let up, they’ll finally burst, sending the car crashing down on its steel wheel rims, kicking up a shower of sparks and smoke.
Similarly, if a car’s coolant system fails, the radiator will overheat and smoke begins pouring from under the hood. Too much strain and the smoke will billow from the car as the radiator finally blows.
These spectacular damage physics even run across all the AI opponents’ cars, making racing a truly thrilling, test of nerves and racing expertise. All this detail means that long-term races become more engaging and tactical. It’s not always the fastest driver who will cross the finishing line first; those who employ better pit-stop strategies and keep an eye on tire wear can reap rewards.
Every race team has a budget to spend on car tuning through the course of a race season and there are up to 27 upgradeable parts for each car including real tuning parts from Brembo, Bridgestone Motorsport and OMP.
To make a car more robust, players can replace the roll cage, add engine struts, and improve its suspension, tires and brake pads. For those who are confident in their racing abilities, the engine’s horsepower can be increased but must be careful as the radiator and coolant system may not be able to take the additional strain!
With so many different racing experiences and real racing cars, TOCA Race Driver 3 is revving up for a release in February 2006. Get yourself in the driving seat with more online at http://www.codemasters.com/tocaracedriver3.

Listen here you racist, idiot. How in the world can you say that? Its a racing game. Has nothing to do with race. Racin gyes, your skin color, no. As for as I'm concern, we all are part of the HUMAN RACE. I do not look at ppl as their skin color, but as part of the human race. We all came from one couple, Adam and Eve. For you too even say that this is racist, means that you are a racist. |

I drive terible on racing games such as this...but I still own Colin McRae Rally 3 because I LIKE rally racing alot better than that showboating GT garbage. I shine at Burnout 3 however, and can deal with the likes of NFSU 1 & 2 and Juiced. If you all like seeing terrible crashes and corners taken at brea-neck speeds on TOCA then I am your dude !!

Toca 2 was a great game. The only problem was that it limited you online to play only certain cars and certain tracks, unless you did that bug/cheat thing. It was a very realistic sim style racer.
Lets just hope that it is better than 2 and comes out on the 360.

Check your facts. Many scientist(sorry for misspell) now are start to beleive that this is possible. If you beleive in evolution, then we all came from one micro. Either way, we all came from 1 set of "things", no matter how you look at it. You can't mix bread a dog and cat, or any other animals- with the exception of the horse and donkey- but all of us humans can mix bread, if you so wish to look at it that way. We are all one race. Sorry you disagree with how I feel. I know you are not commenting on race here, but on how I look at "Adam and Eve". No hard feelings here. |

actually the bible says adam and eve were the first man and woman created by god, not the only ones created by god. i'm sure he made others later. how else do you explain cain's wife?

Incest. In the beginning they married their brothers and sisters. Once there was enough pple on earth, God then forbid incest. It all comes down to Noah as well. As the Bible says he and his family was spared of the flood. We are all on group of ppl.

I'm sure this game is gonna play very well. I was a huge fan of Toca 2, mainly because it tried to keep things real. the main let downs from T2 were the online play (very laggy, was that just down to codemasters having shite server support?) and all the people who decided that the best way to race was to make major cuts to all of the corners - really defeated the object of having a race circuit in the first place!
the overall driving experience in the game was just as good as forza in most respects. cant wait for this one to be on my pristine new 360!
