TOCA Race Driver 2006

TOCA Race Driver 3 is the fifth (after TOCA Touring Car Championship Racing, TOCA 2 Touring Cars, TOCA Race Driver and TOCA Race Driver 2) edition of a series of realistic racing simulations of all kinds of sports cars. In the United States the game is called TOCA Race Driver 2006, while German players received it as DTM Race Driver 3. As in the previous part, in addition to the PC version, there are editions for the most popular sixth generation consoles: Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox.

The game did not lack the one known from the previous part of the career mode. As a virtual driver, we participate in thirty-five types of motorsport championships (including British GT, Muscle Cars, V8 Supercars, DTM, Monster Trucks, Baja Motocross, Formula Palmer Audi, Historic Grand Prix, Touring Sports Cars, Formula 3, and BMW Williams F1). A novelty here is the ability to focus on the career of the driver only in a selected type of races (to choose from, among others, the following), and the possibility to focus on the career of the driver only in a selected type of races (e.g. the race of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver's choice of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver's choice of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver, the race of the driver's choice of the driver, the race of the driver's choice of the driver, the race of the driver's choice of the driver, etc.): GT, Off Road, Touring Cars, Historic, Open Wheel, Rally and Oval). For example, when we decide to make a career as an open-wheel race driver, we will take the first steps behind the wheel of go-karts. Only then will we show our skills and become a reality behind the wheel of Formula 1000, Formula 3, or finally sitting in a machine signed with the BMW Williams F1 team logo. Another possibility is to jump practically from one place to the fastest vehicles nowadays and start competing in World Tour mode, where we go one race after another, with practically no respite. The story of a selected driver (one of the distinguishing features of the TOCA series) is, of course, interwoven into all of this.

Virtual competition takes place on fully licensed routes, reproduced in accordance with reality and care for various details. Players sit in front of the steering wheel of several dozen licensed cars (each machine behaves differently on the track, has different parameters or selected properties). The heavily-repaired engine of the previous TOCA series guards, introduces a highly improved graphics and a changed steering model to the latest game. The vehicle we drive can be "spoiled" by overheating or rubbing the engine, burning (or normal wear and tear) tyres, etc. The vehicle we drive can be broken down, for example by overheating or rubbing the engine, burning (or normal wear and tear) tyres, etc. The ride itself is full of details that will introduce more exciting action and tactical elements to the races (even such factors as fuel consumption during the race are now influencing the car's speed - the car becomes lighter with time, and thus faster). Nearly 8 years of experience of TOCA creators allowed us to develop a realistic driving model and car damage. Any damage to the bodywork or chassis is immediately visible on the vehicle (dents, detached parts, telescopic wheels, etc.). In comparison to TOCA Race Driver 2, the algorithms responsible for AI of computer opponents have also been improved (they drive more aggressively, they can block the player). A long list of novelties closes the multiplayer mode (Internet).
