◆ S.N.A.I.L. Weekly Kart Races (everyone welcome)

[Dragonwhisky]

That depends on your definition. Your car did cross the finish line, as your time traveling skid marks show.

While I don't think I'm best qualified to pick a track for this platform, I'll go with Cape Ring - Inside.

 

[HSAXET]

I forgot I'll be out of town next week. So I give up my choice of track. Dang it... See ya the following week...

 

[Lessen]

Sweet. So we got Cape Ring inner and we need two more candidates to pick. The sooner the better; my lack of natural talent requires LOTS of practice to be even mildly competitive

 

[kcheeb]

@kcheeb I give my prize away, because I don't have time for karting at least few weeks.

@fzappa up to the plate for a track choice

Too late, track choice recorded

I didn't see Cape Ring inside chosen and I'm sure it's not on the approved list

I'm going to stand down on not keeping score. I like scores, well numbers in general really. I wanted to try to remove some of the competition and as has been pointed out, not going to happen We do this because it is competition, let's be gentlepeople out there okay?

 

[Lessen]

Yay for points!

It was Dragonwhisky who selected C.R.I. top if this page.

 

[Lessen]

Oh, that's right.. all C.R. configurations are too bumpy. I forgot about that.

*edit*
I ran some laps earlier today and it didn't seem hard to handle. However, I'm on a DS3 so maybe the guys with setups get excessive feedback? I could see that.

[Doodle]

When we do the juniors next week. Someone should pick a track with rain at 100% just to allow us to practice the feel of rain racing.

 

[Naptown25rs]

Have track selections been finalized yet and I'm just overlooking it?

I think we're still waiting. I believe the only one set in stone is Stowe. Speaking of... time to throw down a few laps

 

[kcheeb]

While I don't think I'm best qualified to pick a track for this platform, I'll go with Cape Ring - Inside.

@Dragonwhisky, did you check this post out before you selected Cape Ring Inside We determined the Cape Ring tracks are not particularly conducive to Karts

I haven't made the time to check all the tracks we can race Karts on yet, but plan to do so before the session tomorrow.

Not just yet, @fzappa is still deciding and @Dragonwhisky has a choice to make 👍

 

[Lessen]

In the mean time ill be shopping for a can of talent. By shopping I mean pounding laps. Ha!

 

[Dragonwhisky]

What? I was supposed to test it first? Bah.

Ok. getting on now to see if these bumps are as some of you say.

Dunno where you guys are getting all these bumps. Turn 2 has a couple of spots if you're off the racing line some, but nothing that made my G27 on FFB4 go nuts. I suppose if you've got your wheel, whatever it is, set to max.

 

[Lessen]

I didn't think it was that bad either. I think it would race well. Its simple and you're really only attacking two turns, the rest is being smooth.

 

[kcheeb]

Okay let's go with it 👍

 

[Lessen]

Boom!

 

[kcheeb]

Kart gearing today at 11:00 a.m. MST - 1:00 p.m. EST. We'll be deciding on the third track then if you care to join

Room number will be posted.

Kart testing room : 1472 6118 4130 9219 4872

Try now @Dragonwhisky, disabled my triples, seems to cause grief for getting in the room.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Can't join the room @kcheeb. Network incompatiblity. [697] whatever TF that means.

Shut off my wireless, at the router, rebooted PS3 and cleared GT6 cache. Only thing left here is to reboot whole network.

Created new room without triples engaged, try again.

@Dragonwhisky why don't you open a room and I'll join you?

EDIT: One more try and then PD can go do something. This is ridiculous.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬, 🤬🤬🤬, 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬!

And that is how the word 🤬 is used for all parts of a sentence.

I have some Kart Tandem Drift pictures if you would like to see. To be honest, it is very tricky to race like this is GT6.
Very fun, however challenging. I bet you would like it!

Also, I do not reccomend pack racing or bump drafting in these conditions...

 

[Lessen]

This week's races are going to be a hoot. Looking for consistency, attrition by error WILL be a factor.
