I'm sure the SNAIL lords would be fine with you using the lists above for your first night.

From what I have read all I need to do is grab the cars and friend someone and I can find their lobby to race in?

Thanks everyone. I had some good battles tonight.
Thanks for coming out and joining us Lefty. I hope you liked it. We were trying out a few new things so tonight was a little more chaotic than normal. Next week should be a bit smoother.
Glad you made it Owens. For being 25PP down you did pretty well.
Joe. I noticed your PP was 2052 so I docked you 2 points. You still have the overall win

An question occurred to me regarding the idea of dropping a drivetrain; why?
Why not try to keep them all, but if you want to drop one, then you're going to sacrifice one full race from your overall score as you only have three cars. That way, some people can go for glory in three races while others can toil away with lower average PP, knowing that they'll pick up points in the race (or races if the triplets choose differently to each other) when those guys are out.

The thing with keeping all the drivetrins above 2000 and below 1400 is everyone will be using the same FF on the 2000pp and above and the same 4WD and below. So, if that is O.K. then I would put the cap at 2100 and 1400. Anything above 2100 and below and below 1400 just doesn't seem to produce the good racing. So I would keep it between that.

I like the 1600PP. Means I need a bit less practice. I got sucked in to GTA last night. I must say I was laughing when driving the Leaf. I loved the body roll. I am looking forward to driving my Element in GT6. Should be a good laugh.
Now I just need to learn Silverstone. My goal last night was to get a 2:22. I ended up with a 2:25.xxx. I only had two clean laps in my 20 minute go so all is not lost. I will probably need at least a 2:21 to hit my goal and more likely a 2:20.
I am really liking the physics. It is a bigger improvement than I thought it would be. The cars feel much more real. I think this will make Performance Cap racing in GT6 be a whole lot of fun
Monday Lineup:
Mitsubishi FTO GR '94 - 388
Audi S3 '02 - 412
Subaru BR-Z S 12 - 413
Toyota MR-S V Edition (6MT) '02 - 385

I guess GTA 2013 is taking up a lot of our track time. Lets not forget about MondayI am on call so that means I might be able to make some of the races but I will not make all of them.
I have been thinking about this some more and the problem I see with giving slower drivers more PP is that it does not give them a car that is easier to drive. In fact it can do the opposite. I would like to try using different tires as a Handicap at least one more try.
I would suggest that we give handicaps based on the results for a nights racing. If you come in last for the night you get a +1 tire handicap. This means you can run one race with a +1 tire. If you come in last another night you get another +1. The handicap will be cumulative until you finish in the top 4 for a complete nights racing. Then you will lose the tire handicap as follows
1st - 4
2nd - 3
3rd - 2
4th -1
When you are going to run a tire handicap for a race you should state this using the in game chat. Changes to the handicap ratings will only take place if 6 or more drivers are on track and you must finish every race.
I would propose that Handlebar starts with a +4 and Koszak starts with a +2.
Any thoughts?
