I started in 4th gear, and didn't have to shift to 5th until 140mph. It bit me in the first race because I qualified poorly and spun out trying to get around everyone at the start. In the second race, I jumped into the lead by several seconds before everyone caught back up with me (which didn't take long. I sucked at that combo).

Thanks for that OCD link, joby! I've always wondered if there was a thread like that. Now that I know about it, I'll be adding it to the bottom of the results posts so that prize winners will conveniently be able to tell whether the OCD is in it's first or second week. That determination is important because it changes whether the maximum car price is $5M or just $999,999 (when selecting from the OCD).

In that case my choice is to switch the track to Kart Space.....
Just kidding. My pick is Laguna Seca with the Caterham. Hope you all like it. If not at least it's not Kart Space. Right!?!?

I've really enjoyed racing with you guys over the past year, but I think I should be moved to the Associate Snails list. I've moved on to iRacing and I'm finding it harder and harder to turn it off and turn the PS3 on, especially now that I have triples in iRacing.
I want to give a big Thank You to zero, cheeb, everyone who volunteers and contributes, and even the guys who just show up and race. You all have made SNAIL an awesome place to be!
I'll still hang around the threads and hop in some races now and then. I just don't expect to be a regular on Sunday nights anymore.

I'm sorry to hear that, spooble. I still hope to see you show up for an occasional Sunday though. 
FWIW, triple screens in GT5 are pretty cool too. I know you're already gone the iRacing route, but I'd argue that investing in triples for GT5 is a solid play as well. For example, I probably paid less for my two extra PS3's and two extra copies of GT5 (which I can use forever or resell later) than you paid iRacing just to race for one year. I'm not criticizing your decision, just pointing out that getting triples for GT5 is not as expensive as many seem to think.
Btw, nice setup! Is that custom-built desk??

Actually, it's only $99 per year. Or $49 if, like me, you buy during the Black Friday/Christmas deals. Extra content can be expensive if you try to buy it all at one time, though (cars are $12, tracks $15). But it's not too bad if you space it out.
That being said, triples for PS3 isn't off the table. It's just not gonna happen soon.

Yeah. I'm a function-over-form kind of guy. 2x6's and 3/4" boards work fine for me.
Yes, cockpit only.

When I tried it last year, it was only cockpit view but it was a very good cockpit view. Much better than what GT5 has. I run 3rd person in GT5 just so I can see who is around me and it was not a difficult adjustment to go to cockpit in iRacing.
The cost for the subscription isn't all that bad, but when you have to start shelling out $10 and up for every car and at least the same for each track, it can add up pretty quick.

To replace the Speed 12 and HSR,
I choose the TVR Tamora '02 at Deep Forest Raceway.

Just a reminder for anyone looking for some racing tonight. STATS is racing GT300 cars tonight. We currently have 10 drivers signed up so that leaves room for 6 more. If you don't have a tuner but are interested I can help you with a base tune or you can run stock. Anyways if you're interested come on over and sign up. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=270982

Not sure... After thrashing the California countryside all too often, the Caterham has quickly fallen off the list of Cars I Like and onto my list of Kaz Is An Ass And I Do Not Like.
I will practice more, I guess. =}:-{(#
