◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Currently Recruiting for GT7 - JOIN TODAY!!Open

[Troggy]

I love the idea of multiple classes. I'm personally partial to spec racing though, but only because I'm probably the worst tuner in existance.

 

[CoachMK21]

@jobyone and I have occasionally kicked around ideas of multiple classes on the track.

I wonder if having the D4-D7 member in the xxxxx car at 525 PP and the D1-D3 drivers in the yyyyy car at 500 PP would have any interest, or merit? Could tune differently as well?

Just musing racing ideas over the morning cuppa joe with my two blondes. 👍

I like this idea, but it's too bad that PD limits us to 16 in a room. I think one of the most exciting parts of the mixed class races is that you are almost always with someone else, whether it is racing with someone in your class, passing a lower class or having to pay attention to your mirrors for a faster class coming up. With the 16 car limit it won't be as exciting.

If you picked something similar to Brands Hatch Indy or Silverstone Stowe, you wouldn't have that problem even running Fiat 500 '68's with Fiat 500 Grande Punto '09's in the field.

Or the '79 Abarth with the Panda Super '90

Or the 1500 Biposto Bertone '52 with the Spider 1600 Duetto '66 (Yes, an Alfa, but they'd look cool)

Or the Giulia Sprint Speciale '63 with the Giulia Sprint GTA 1600 '65 (two Alfas, but delightfully different)

Dude! Do a full fiat/abarth line up! I like this idea! The biggest the track could be is 1 mile.
Hey, who was having issue with their headset? Raise your hand.
What brand headset did you get?

According to this, that means @AG07WRXTR is the winner of the ButtKicker 4D Sports Challenge! I may ask him to by me lottery ticket because he seems to be one lucky son of a gun!

 

[ExoSphere64]

I'd like to volunteer as scorekeeper & data specialist for D1 if still needed. I'm a software geek, so it seems a good fit.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but I have added you onto the roster. Thank you very much!! 👍

@ExoSphere64 I believe @Adventuruss also expressed an interest helping out in D1 here 👍

Ahh you are correct! I remember now... Adventuruss has also been added to the roster!! Thank you! (and thanks for reminding me 'cheeb!)

I would be willing to stay on as a backup scorekeeper. I'm afraid steward duty is going to keep me pretty busy

I was having an issue. Plantronics 478 USB headset.

That is because the PS3 only does chat through the USB, not game sounds. You would need something that hooks up through the Multiport left and right channels, through the optical out port, HDMI or by bluetooth. Hence the reason it works, but only with chat.

 

[Azure Flare]

Anyone want a practice room going?

Perhaps Owens moved to Australia and didn't update his profile.💡

No, I don't want game audio through the headset. The USB headset I bought will not pick up any sound through the mic.

??? Pic upside down?

That looks amazing.

 

[hillracing]

Hillracing any thoughts about the team and tuner series? I know I would be interested. The team aspect of it really appealed to me.

I would love to get this going again. However in the next month or so I'm going to have a hard time racing at all due to life getting in the way. If my schedule frees up some after that I'll see what I can come up with to make a new and improved STaTS.
