◆ SNAIL [Enduro] Racing - Closed Until Further Notice

[fastfox400]

RM/RS LMPS are a little scary on hards.

I guess I've been practicing on the wrong tires in the GT3 NISMO GT-R then.

 

[simracejesse]

Doing some testing and it looks like my GT300 RX7 wants to change it's tires now. Hope it stays that way!

Got DC during qualifying ruined my day.

 

[fastfox400]

Its ok. I was the only one hit with the pit glitch. 3 stops in 8 laps. Rear tire were toasted in 3 laps.

 

[racingchamp30]

Won't let me change compounds either, finally was able to start changing compounds on lap 38

 

[goofytyler]

Ouch sorry to hear that fox.

I ended up doing a 50 lap enduro with some of my guys from team NOS so, at least I was able to do an enduro tonight

PS3 froze, but it didn't asked me to check Hard Drive 👎

 

[cmbeal317]

A huge thanks for everyone that came out tonight! I had a ton of fun and I can't wait to do another multi-class race again! ​

 

[racefan78]

Great race everyone! Especially my fellow GT300 competitors!

I figured out why I was way off my pace the second half: The car was down like 16 hp. I did an engine rebuild and oil change before the race started. Is there any way to avoid power dropping off so fast?

 

[racingchamp30]

Thank you everyone for the great, clean racing and looking forwards to the next multi class race. Couldn't change my tire compounds till around lap 38 and then after that the pit box came up everytime i pitted.

get over 190 miles on it. Every 300-400 miles do a oil change.

Thanks for the great racing, it would haw been better but I got hit with the glitch too and I had RM on for 45 laps, when it let me change compound I caught up to the others.(sort of). Thanks to the GT300 class drivers who made it interesting especially racefan, good racing guys looking forward to more.

Thats crazy. I guess this has to do with being host. The tire wear bug i was talking about earlier is far less dramatic but it still happening, and i think it affects everyone.

Like when we started the race i would lap 1:31-32 all first stint on RS tires. Then i had to pit on lap 12 because fuel was gone, bit tires were still at 4 all around. I would xhange tires to RM and they would last only 10 laps, even though they should outlast RS. Then i change back to softs and theyre undrivable after 8 laps, theres less grip, and even when fresh i could only do 1:33 fastest. So after you pit once, all tires get downgraded/glitched. At least this glitch seems consistent so far and not game breaking.

 

[Chiochan]

That explains what I saw as well. Fastest lap was lap 4, that never happens, usually it is on the last stint. Also the did really start to fall off much faster than the first stint, which I went 20 laps on RS.

 

[racefan78]

In case anyone is interested, here are the points scored by manufacture last night. I counted drivers who pulled over or DC'ed in the order in which they withdrew from the race.

Nissan: 57
Subaru: 30
Mercedes: 24
Bentley: 22
Mazda: 15
Autobacs: 8
Audi: 4

 

[CinnamonOD]

Of course your eligible to race! It doesn't matter if it was a special event or one of our regular races where you first participated.

Oh alright thanks, is there a point system and do I need to give in the color and number that I want to race with?

Points are explained towards the bottom of the first post. As for color and number, feel free to post that when you've made your choice. If you look in the first post you can also see what other drivers have picked, under the drivers list.

Ok thanks, yea I was wondering because I m not on the drivers list yet, why is that?

 

[DriftinAssassin]

So I can join too then? I really wanna give enduro racing a try to I think I'll stick around for awhile.

 

[cmbeal317]

I usually update the driver's list when I update the points, so since we haven't started Season 15 yet, I haven't entered any points. No need to worry!

As for points from last night, I'm not exactly sure what fastfox is doing, but they are separate from the points in the driver's list.
