◆ SNAIL [DriveTrain Challenge - DTC] Racing - Closed

[tezgm99]

No.

 

[jobyone]

Quick question! If your first two cars are under 800pp by lets say 25pp, can you go 25pp over the 1000pp limit? You would still be under the 1800 limit totally.

Just to be clear each grouping can not go over the stated PP limit. If you are down in one you can not go over on the other.

Have fun tonight but we will need to discuss what night to run this event going forward. Tuesday night already has a SNAIL event and I think it would be best if we find a night that would be less likely to effect other SNAIL Events. Thursday is doable as practice is not an official event.

 

[88GTA]

Changing my FR from C5 Z06 (513pp) to '06 RE Amemiya GT300 base model race car (511pp). Not sure if I will make it onto the spreadsheet before the race to change it

[88GTA]

Wow I didn't realize Bowler and Joe passing me on the last lap of the last race would have cost me a tie for 2nd

 

[IceWarden]

Tez got the official 2nd spot due to his win and pole

 

[88GTA]

Bravo Tez

 

[IceWarden]

So...Ken threw down 750pp/850pp and he wants to run the lower PP cars first.

Now Tez needs to provide the Qualifying track.

I assume we are all on board with next Tues? Same Bat time, Same Bat channel?

 

[88GTA]

Xmas Eve? Followed by New Year's Eve?

 

[IceWarden]

Xmas Eve? Followed by New Year's Eve?

Oh yeah...oops. Ideas?

 

[88GTA]

Most days will be hit or miss over the next two weeks so it may just make more sense to see what days do or don't work. Tez is already going to miss the next race no matter when it is, which sucks because he got to pick the qualifying track.

I won't be available Dec 24th-29th or Dec 31st. Any other night I can do.

 

[IceWarden]

Maybe just some fun practice stuff until after holidays?

 

[88GTA]

I'm down for anything Joe. We should find one night over the next two weeks to have an official race where the majority of us can make it. Aside from that, I'll just post in here when I'm online and looking to race.

 

[racefan78]

Yup, I'm pretty much down for anything as well. Practice would be good. Might give me some time to learn the wheel better.

 

[tezgm99]

I won't be here next week, or the one after that. As for tracks, I'm leaning towards Apricot Hill but given I've only driven there against AI, I'm not yet sure if it would produce good racing for 375PP cars so I might jump on later today and hope some of you can join (I was going to try to Alfa MiTo at 388 as I think that's the car I have that's closest to the average for the test)

So what do you guys like better

DTC - DriveTrain Challenge

MTC - Multi Drivetrain Challenge

 

[88GTA]

DTC

 

[jobyone]

Were there any good battles from last night? I would like to get a video made for the series.

Also how about some pictures guys. We need a GT 6 pic for the OP

 

[tezgm99]

I had a last lap pass for the lead with koszak....it was pretty unfair though given my Dino easily had the top speed advantage on his Suzuki. And I had fun battling with Star (I think....Spitnale anyways) at Tsukuba, nearly pipped him right at the line

Also, just did some practice around Apricot Hill and it seems that it will work....have to watch the FWD through the esses as it was easy to run wide with the understeer so hopefully it will produce decent racing

 

[jobyone]

lets not forget time off day in the track choices. Should we allow time change?

 

[88GTA]

I vote yes to time changes

 

[tezgm99]

Sure, why not. We've raced in the rain before after all

Oh, and we also used tyre/fuel on fast so we'd actually have some tyre wear over the course of the race.

Edit: photo dump

 

[88GTA]

^ Nice. I even approve of the pass on the last lap in the first pic

 

[tezgm99]

First thought when seeing the MiTo seasonal was "nice, get to thrash another low PP car around". After nearly an hour of trying to gold the dang thing, my thoughts changed a tiny bit to "this is 🤬!"

Ultimately had to buy better suspension, better brakes and jack the PP up to the 400 limit before I even got close. Then it was all about chipping away until finally getting under the gold time

 

[88GTA]

^ I look forward to racing your ghost/firework/streak of lightning after work today.

P.S. Completely ecstatic about the increased pay outs and log-in bonus. That MiTo seasonal is 400,000 for gold before log-in

 

[jobyone]

Ok guys. I have made the change. We are now the

DTC - DriveTrain Challenge

 

[jobyone]

Question to the group. For the short term what do you think about Racing Officially Thursdays and having Tuesday be a practice/test/recruiting night?

 

[Rolly21581]

you guys start at 10 or 8 ET? I need to plan ahead a touch before i join as far as car prep etc, but i like the sounds of it, where is the rules? Page 1 ill assume?
