◆ SNAIL [DriveTrain Challenge - DTC] Racing - Closed

[88GTA]

I would also like to propose that we give 'bonus' points for running 'all american set up' All 'European'; something like that.

My line up is all premium cars since it was easier to find the max PP on MyGT. What do I win?

 

[jobyone]

I choose Twin Ring Motegi as the qualifying track next Monday.

The front page states 13 laps at Daytona....so I didn't screw up

Replays are uploaded to the D2 folder...named 2013.02.25_PPcap_Ice

Ah I forgot my calcs were off and I fixed them on the spreadsheet but forgot to update the front page. Fixed.

A spot on the grid

If people like the idea of challenges for choosing cars I have a few ideas floating around.

Nick as the winner you can adjust the PP level for next Mondays Race. You can keep it the same or adjust it +/- 25 pts (we may increase this range later but for now lets try starting small). You also still get to pick the qualifying track for this Saturdays event.

1600pp again this week.Track for Saturday: Côte d'Azur.

The "Nick" rule. First let me say congrats to Nick for not only picking a great lineup but also driving brilliantly for a second night in a row. That being said do we think we should force the wining driver to change his lineup? Or do you think the PP adjustment will start to give others a chance to catch up?

Thanks for the compliments.
I will change my car selection: the MRS for the MRS-S,the Tiburon GT for a Tuscani and the 86 for a BRZ jk. I didn't planned keeping the same line up more than a week.This was the best line up I had in mind... I shouldn't make as much points next time.

Brilliant.

 

[Starvsnr]

Star,

I went back and checked and I did send a Friend Request on the 24th from the SNAIL_Division3 account to the PSN id starvsnr. Next time you log in to the PS3 check you messages and let me know if you received that.

I did receive and accept that over the weekend but that account never logged on last night.

That account does not need to online for you to join. Simply go to your community then find that account and go to the lounge. Join the lounge and we will be there (unless you are the first one to join). I will likely try to do some practicing Wed night. I will post in here if I am going to be practicing.

 

[Rallywagon]

I agree with this, I think if we all are forced to change at least 1 cat it will keep things very fun.

Just having to change 1 car may mean that you end up with a completely different line up.

The main point is that everyone is enjoying the races and having fun.

Yeah, and deductions for running all Japanese. The bias is unfortunately to obvious. This series idea is great though. I think I may have to suck up some tuesday mornings and race this more often.

 

[kendawg]

I change my line up from race to race anyways. There are way to many car combinations to just run one line up. This league keeps me on my PS3 way more than Sunday night Snail. I really love that I have to drive several different cars to find the puzzel piece. If I can just keep it on the track and keep Nic from getting those easy passes...

Can't wait to get up into the 1700 & 1800pp range to run some of those cars too. I will be heading out of town Thursday for about a week. So, I'll let you know Jobyone when I get back. I will stay intouch through the forum..

Cool, thanks again for the info. Do most people have a mic? Mine just died and I want to see if I should buy another.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

How did the points shake out last night? I completely forgot about racing since we had just run Saturday.

(I wouldn't have raced either way. I went to bed at 8:00!)

Ok cote d'azure for qualifying, got it. I'm really busy today, but I'll be in D3 practicing tomorrow around 4-7.

PP Cap Photos from 2/25/13

 

[jobyone]

Thanks for the great pictures. I think my goal will be to change the first post image each week to show off your and Wolf's photos

 

[IceWarden]

Thanks...I don't usually post pictures because they are so time consuming. But my wife crashed early so I grabbed some photos

 

[jobyone]

Hey guys. I would like to know if we should have a running signup for the Monday event. So Basically you are automatically added to the event list each week and you only need to let us know if you are not going to race. Do you think that is a good idea? If so let me know you want to be on that list.

 

[Rallywagon]

you can stick me on this list, I probably wont be here every time, but I will be participating as frequently as possible. Its killing me waiting on this house purchase! Short sales can take so damn long while everyone negotiates who's taking the loss.

 

[kendawg]

I can be there every Monday. I will miss this coming Monday (out of town) but I can be there every Monday after that.

 

[racefan78]

I don't think I'll be here for saturday, but I'll be here for monday for sure

 

[IceWarden]

Yep, Mondays for me too.

 

[88GTA]

I'll be all over the place. I prefer Saturdays bc Sunday is my day to sleep in, but I usually go out, so I'll be week to week. This Saturday I'm in.

 

[Rallywagon]

If people like the idea of challenges for choosing cars I have a few ideas floating around.

Maybe challenges, or maybe, at least 1/2 a car line up needs to be anything other than Japanese. or maybe something like you need at least 2 cars of different countries of origin or all cars need to be of a different country of origin. though by no means am I complaining about how things work now. I just figured that since the topic was put out there, I would throw in an idea or two.
BTW, here is my line up for Monday (and maybe Saturday)

FF: Integra Type R (DC2) '95 (399pp)
4wd: s3 '02 (398pp)
FR: Supra SZ-R '97 (402pp)
MR: lotus Elise Type 72 '01 (401pp)

 

[IceWarden]

Your numbers are pretty low. Maybe rebuild the engines?

As JoeW said the S3 is 412, the Integra is 409-412, the lotus is 411 without break in I believe. Not sure about the Supra.

Take a look here for our known PP. I know it is a bit incomplete at the moment but we are working on it.

 

[Rallywagon]

Oh, I got the numbers off of MyGT, I figured they were right.

 

[jobyone]

I wish. If so my life would be easier. Most myGT numbers are low or for a car with mileage and in need of oil change if it is a Standard car. I think we have about 200 cars listed on the spreadsheet now. Some are for cars that are not broken in but will at least be close. Sorry to make you go back to the drawing board with your pics

 

[Rallywagon]

Yeah, me to, back to the drawing board. *fist shake* those bastards!

 

[jobyone]

Yeah, me to, back to the drawing board. *fist shake* those bastards!

just find one of the drivetrain configs to drop to around 360PP and you should be fine. Unless you are looking for the perfect 4 at 400 lineup

I was giving it a whirl. I'll have to see what i have and what i can come up with now.

Heading to D3 in a few.
