A welcome message for all new member is always a good thing but maybe all of the intro particulars should be incorporated into The First Post... (?)

Thanks Wolfsatz! I've updated the responsibilities post with your speedtest results. 👍

Palo Alto is about 100 miles from home and Richmond VA is across the country. Just goes to show the difference in ping based on distance.

Hope you don't mind, Bowler, but I added you too. :)

Anyone know what times people are running with the Suzuki? Missed all the practice with it so far.

I am running low 1.50 every lap.... I think you should be able to at least knock off 1 second off with the proper shifting. Sometimes I keep forgetting to shift at 7K rpms.

1:53.078 is my best lap at Madrid/Reverse, but I am new to the league. Usually in the upper 153's. :)

Jester,
Are you shifting at 7000 rpms? If you don't you time laps will be much slower and you will be passed easily.

Well I'm finding out how much I have to learn. I've been using automatic transmission. I've never played on manual before, but I see I have to learn. I'm out of town today and until tomorrow night. I'll have to learn how to do this as quick as I can on Saturday night and Sunday. Thanks for the advice.

Hope I can pick this up quick. Yikes

I hear ya man, I've been in the league for a few months with using the automatic and i still do, but because of this combo it definitely helps if you learn manual.
 
Anybody have any "crash course" advice on learning MT? Would be highly appreciated.

I can see it now... Jester across the line in ...WTF ...1st gear?
 
Jester - for me, manual is about listening to the car, and getting to know when to shift when you hear the engine RPM at the right level...keeps your eyes on the track, ahd lets you shift at spots like this 7k rpm in the Cap.

For me, I always think it's better to be in too low a gear than too high a gear going into a corner (when you're slowing down), and the opposite when coming out -- especially in a high powered car where spinning wheels (and spinning out) is a possibility. of course, the right gear is always best! Sometimes you're better off staying in 3rd for a 2nd gear turn depending on your gearing (which becomes a more interesting part of the game, if you're changing up how you use the gears coming down straights, or at the end of sections into twisty bits).

I'll never go back to automatic...and when I do start accidentally in arcade mode or something, I'll keep trying to shift the whole time anyways :P It's about the flow!

--edit with info below---

Hey guys,

Thanks for your interest! We are always happy to have drivers who race clean. 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 kcheeb with your time from the time trial (no Sunday racing until this is completed).
3. We assign you to the division that we feel will give you the closest competition.
4. We 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. :cheers:

Still need one for the races on the 20th as well. If you have a spare minute, could you knock that one out too?

I'm home today and delaying going out to clear all the snow from my driveway, so yeah ok.

EDIT: Done!

Apmaddock - let me know when you need help to get the report out and I'll do what I can. You can always let me know if changes are needed and I'll edit.

Okay, I've updated the schedule. 👍
