I think there are a lot of Nero paints, by any chance are you talking about the Matte Nero Nemesis? Not that it matters since they are all black. But that brings me to the fact that DrK is already running Black in D2
do you have a second choice say maybe a dark gray?

Yeah that was the one, but if I can't use it I'll just stick with my other color combo

FWIW, I don't think people would confuse my glossy black paints with matte black. And the red vs. yellow wheels are another clear differentiator.

Ok I have listed you as Nero Nemesis with Yellow wheels. Made me think if you went with Gold wheels it would look really good on a Lotus
In the chart I have listed you as the darkest gray which while not 100% accurate it does make the chart work better.Any other new colors for the rest of you?

Announcing the January Lineup for S.N.A.I.L. SPEC Racing
The Drivers List has been updated with Promotions and Relegation's for the month of January.
I'd like to point out there's no clear cut formula for getting promoted or relegated. We take into account a number of factors to determine candidates for promotion and relegation. Once we've identified the drivers, we analyze the data at our disposal and make sure the people being moved fit into the Division they're being moved to. Then we pull the trigger
Some of the criteria for being eligible to be promoted or relegated are:
1. Points for the month
2. Race pace
3. Individual Lap Times
4. Number of times you've raced that month.
5. How you compare to other racers in your division and the division you're a candidate for.
6. How many drivers are in each division.
7. How cleanly you've raced this past month.
Why do we do this?
1. To get you involved in races you will be racing in, not just driving.
2. To incent you to improve your driving and racecraft.
3. To give you something to strive for.
4. To make it possible for you to have fun playing GT5.
We want you to be in good, close, clean racing 👍
If you have any questions or concerns about promotion or relegation, feel free to pm me. I'd be more than happy to talk to you about it.
N.B. If you were promoted or relegated and don't have access to the lounge you're assigned to for the January season, please send a PSN Friend Request to the appropriate SNAIL_DivisionX account. If for some reason your Friend Request is not accepted early tomorrow, let us know asap!
Cheers and good racing all!

Neo, zero should be along shortly with the standard welcome message detailing what you will need to do. However, one page back it's a couple of posts containing said massage which you can use to get started now, or go to the first and second posts and read through.

Hey bug1623,
We assigned you to Division 3, we had a small discussion about which Division would be best for you to start in and we must have gotten sidetracked
We get a lot of pm's and sometimes things fall through the cracks, so sorry about that. We do have you set up, I'll forward zer0's welcome message via pm.
You're good to go tonight 👍

Hi NeoXenzaka,
Thanks for your interest! Here's what you need to know and do in order to join:
We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the S.N.A.I.L. OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide.
Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:
1. You run the Time Trial. (NOTE: The tires selected for this have more grip than our current tire regulations allow, but please follow the directions exactly anyways).
2. You PM me with your time from the time trial (no Sunday racing until this is completed).
3. I assign you to the division that I fell will give you the closest competition.
4. I send you a you a PSN friend request from the corresponding SNAIL_Division1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 account. That PSN account's lounge is where you will race on Sunday night.
6. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍
The original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.
Please note that we often race DLC from three add-on packs:
Racing Car Pack
Course Pack
Twin Ring Motegi Pack
If you don't have these add-on packs, you will need to sit out the races in which they are used.
If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, post your choices in this thread.
To avoid duplication, the currently claimed combinations can be found here.
During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to S.N.A.I.L.
