Can we not run the rooms like we did in GT5? I still haven't messed around with the online stuff yet, Had to sleep after getting it opened.
So here's what I'm thinking for the new Time Trial process:
Arcade Mode: Single Player
Time Trial
World Circuits
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Use a Courtesy Car
Scion FR-S '12
Pick a Color
Select Transmission Type
Go to Driving Options and change Traction Control to 0
(the default tire matches SNAIL regs (Sports Hard) which is why I didn't mention that in the steps)
Click 'Start' and run about 10-15 laps
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Okay, here's a form to enter your GT6 Time Trial Information. If we could ask over the next 5 days or so, everyone run the time trial and submit a time, that would be awesome 👍
I've included in the form, PSN ID, GT Planet ID and GT6 Name.
Thanks.
Was I first?
Bought the Mazda, heading to test break in stuff. Even if I've heard it's unnecessary now. Will report back as soon as I can.
OK, so here is my idea because I have the same problem with my league. Two playstations, go on-line with whatever division you hold races in. Create friends only room with division account. Log in to your primary account. Everyone can join lobby just like they do now. Start race from second playstation. I don't have more than one PS3 now but will in a few weeks. I might try that before I bail on the main racing lounge.
Thoughts?
Sure.

Ok I've got some ideas.
As for room hosts. Do like we do in other series. Host posts the room number in thread and those in the series join. Boot randoms as needed.
As for car choices and such. I'd say right now the coordinators set the cars for the events. Allow winners to pick tracks. Until we've progressed where car choices are more open and folks have gotten garages built it would be easiest.
Surely nobody would mind allowing the head hogs do the car picking for now.
I read somewhere on the forums that cars don't need broken in. The guy changed the oil and the hp stayed the same for 200 km. Hold on and I'll go find it.
Here ya go. Taken from a thread in the gt6 question forums.
It seems to me the cars have their real power figure now when purchased and after oil change it does increase. Unlike previous GT's where their power figure was always below what it should be until oil change.
As for breaking-in, I bought a S15 Silvia, oil changed it to get 258hp, it never rose from there and now after 200km's or so it has decreased. No increase in power noted at all from breaking-in.
EDIT: Just changed the oil again in the S15 and the power is back to the original 258hp it started with, no increase overall.
Bought the Mazda, heading to test break in stuff. Even if I've heard it's unnecessary now. Will report back as soon as I can.
Test drive from car page does put miles on the car. Starting my full break in now. Is that Mazda a Wankel rotary. Car page says it's 654X2CC displacement. Thing will do 176+- top speed.
30K for the first two missions. I wasn't paying attention to the cone knockdown payout.
Prize A: @redsoxboy80 - replace Combo 3, car* and track
Prize B: @soundtiger95 - replace Tsukuba OR the Gathers/Drider Civic car*. (Car is 50,000 credits, may be kept is @soundtiger95 chooses another track)
* Cars 50,000 credits or less, gents!
The Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) '02 - Comb 2 - is the car in the top left corner on the dealership page, the penultimate page. Go to the end of the dealership, ogle the 787B Stealth for a moment, then page back one screen, there she is. 40,000 credits.
I have had a thought or two about car limits for winning choices going forward. First off this is the credit break down known so far
So anyone that wants to take place in online events will have won about 270k. With that being said I think allowing the car choices to go up to 90k seems fair.
The other thought is to cap the cost at the amount of credits you can realistically win in 1 hour. That way someone who wants to join would only have to spend 3 hours getting the cars assuming he has 0 credit and none of the cars. It looks like running National B events could earn you around 70k in an hour so the above 90k feels reasonable. If we start to get login bonuses or if the seasonals start to give better payout we could begin upping the amount.
Finally I would suggest any reasonably attainable prize car should be allowed
And of course the MB Vision GT.
I am not trying to massively limit the cars we can choose just suggesting we keep thing attainable for those with a bit less time. The 90k cap will still leave a huge amount of cars. In fact it should allow us to choose from nearly 700 cars

These are just my thoughts and may not reflect the thoughts of the PTB
This probably be a good time to announce that Handlebar is our new Prize A/B Coordinator. Thanks Handlebar!
I think this all looks good! What does everyone else think?
One a related note (but not really), does anyone know if price limit to gift cars is still $1M?
i was just going to ask that question..any sorta of tickets?Doe anyone know if there are birthday tickets like in GT5?
Is anyone planning to open a room today?
Ok I've got some ideas.
As for room hosts. Do like we do in other series. Host posts the room number in thread and those in the series join. Boot randoms as needed.
I gotta go with Owens on one point. Just run in an open lobby with the room number posted on the thread. Name it SNAIL Div. 1 and deal with any random guys that show up. It might also serve to help with recruitment and interest in SNAIL. We can do this until we get the update for the community features which is supposed to be in January.
As for car choices and such. I'd say right now the coordinators set the cars for the events. Allow winners to pick tracks. Until we've progressed where car choices are more open and folks have gotten garages built it would be easiest.
Surely nobody would mind allowing the head hogs do the car picking for now.
We could even run the same cars for a couple of weeks, three new tracks will keep it fresh.
That way no one is scrambling.
Only pain is the randoms, not sure we can do too much about that
What's wrong with leaving the cap for car choices at 50K. I've seen the payouts for International B and there are races there that pay up to 30K per race. Leave it at 50K for a season and then step it up gradually from there each season.
