◆ SNAIL [DriveTrain Challenge - DTC] Racing - Closed

[Nish]

I've been having some issues in the past 24hrs that I'm hoping resolve themselves. Sony told me they know of the issues some people are having and to just keep randomly checking to see if its fixed.

What are the differences from the normal DTC is it just that you have restricted the car choices? I'm low on cash so if I can get some run time by the start of the races I may join in but that is determined by my son 🤬 (He goes crazy trying to attack the wheel if I play while he's awake ). What time do you plan on starting this up? I could likely get enough money from 1 X1 race and would then just need to buy the vehicles.

So right now it depends on my son and my PSN not being disconnected by Sonys errors.

Sorry unleashed. It was friends only but I just saw your post.

 

[kendawg]

That was some good fun racing last night. Lets do it again Koszak.

 

[Schmiggz]

I'm in a process of reestablish peace at home and that's why I've been away from here and from the main event duties.

 

[jobyone]

How did last night go guys? I really like the idea that @88GTA put forward. I think ideas like this will expand the fun and challenge of the league.

His idea would work good for a second night. The racing was close.

 

[tezgm99]

It probably would have worked even better with more people.....as my choices were a bit different to the rest in terms of PP, I didn't really have anyone to race for long periods of time.

You sure... I thought we had a good battle third and fourth race.

 

[kendawg]

Watched the replay of the Muscle Car race like 3 times. That was an awsome race between Blood and I. Well, Koszak too for 3 laps until he showed us some drifting moves.

 

[tezgm99]

Only the final race where we had comparable cars, ken. My little Honda in race 3 couldn't do anything when the straights came around

 

[88GTA]

I had fun too guys, glad you enjoyed it. I may get it going again this Thursday but the following week I will be away.

@bloodredsky
You won the night so if you have an idea for one of the night's events please post up. You also get to pick the first track.

@kendawg and @tezgm99
Please do the same and think of a race event you would like to do.

 

[bloodredsky]

Yeah that muscle car race was a lot of fun, the whole night was fun actually, but the Camaro 10 and the Boss 302 matched up so evenly, that race was so tight.

Well, continuing with muscle, lets rock some classic muscle next Thurs ! I'll let you pick the pp and such, but it looks like most of the muscle is 450-480pp rangeish. Apricot Hill Reverse at 9AM please !

Just a side note, but if there's anyway to block against the dominator camaros, that would be great too. Maybe a 1500k weight minimum ? Just a thought/ those two camaros seem to be in another league, when compared to all the other 1550-1850kg muscle cars.

You 🤬 mind reader....that is the exact thing I was looking at doing.

Looking elsewhere....there appears to be 22 Mazda RX-7's available between (dealer, no oil change) 432pp and 466pp so I might just go with that.
