◆ SNAIL [Enduro] Racing - Closed Until Further Notice

[fzappa]

Going to do my best to be there. At least I'll only have to turn one way, which is it again

We are going round n round n round n round n round n round n round n round n round...........

Just remember, pit entry is before turn three gentlemen not after turn four. We'll go through that prior to the race.

 

[THRASH]

qualifying will be before race 1 we will qualify and that pole sitter can get an extra point as usual. in-between every race we will just run like we do in-between race 1 and 2 on normal Saturdays with the grid set.

I also forgot to mention since its an oval there will be drafting. Do we want to run penalties, because then we won't drive through each other for bump drafting. I think it would be better without penalties and there is no real way to have a short cut at an oval

I think we should turn penalties off for the first race. If there is any shenanigans like slamming into others or spinning others then the penalties would be turned back on. That would suck and be no fun.
This is not Daytona or Indy so bump drafting should be minimal. There will be more passing and lead changes in my opinion.

I think everyone here knows how I feel about running ovals in SPEC, that's no secret. I hope this works out to help change my mind.

Please, for the sake of being able to pick oval tracks in the future, lets be courteous and clean as possible.👍 Lets not ruin someone else's night, and fun, by being overly aggressive.

Thrash, can you post the laps we will be running in each round? Thanks!

 

[THRASH]

It will be 50 laps for each race.

 

[chatva]

Yea man! I'm in

I agree with taking off the penalties at least for the first race. In fact having penalties on might make it worse since we'll be able to go through each other. Then if everyone can be clean through the first race, I'll have no problem leaving them off for the subsequent races, but if it does become dirty, then we may have to turn them on.

See you all in a few hours!

I had to quit, it was pretty boring 👎

 

[kcheeb]

Well that was more fun than I thought turning left would be

The half hour races seemed to fly by!

Although, I'm not sure a steady diet of it is for me.

Good racing tonight everyone.

 

[fzappa]

Tonight's race was pretty cool. I agree with kcheeb! I don't think I can handle a steady diet of ovals myself.
May the winner of the season pick a car fast so we can get the tracks chosen.
Remember everybody, we are racing every Saturday now.
Thanks for everyone coming out and look forward to start a new season of SPEC.

Once again it's been another great season of S.P.E.C. Racing! It's been a lot of fun driving the GT-R this season and also trying out Motegi Oval last night! I want to thank everyone for coming out this season, because with out all of you this couldn't be possible. As usual the prize winners can now begin to select the new car and tracks. Also just to make sure everyone knows, we will be back to racing every Saturday now!

I would just like to say that even though I 100% blew the last race of the season that I even picked, I love this new format with boost. I know usually things change after every season but I have never had an actual shot of winning a championship until this season. So for the love of god don't take away the boost. Haha but I am glad that everyone gave the oval a chance and it's a good change but I won't be picking that for a while. Maybe 5 seasons from now we can again but hopefully ken picks a fun car and we have another good season!

 

[kendawg]

The GT-R was so much fun last season, so I think I will give a 4WD car another try for next season. The car will be...

 

[kendawg]

Subaru Impreza TC

 

[THRASH]

great choice ken. this will be fun

 

[fzappa]

Great choice Ken! I'm contemplating whether to purchase an STI in real life. I've been thinking about it for a year now.

Now it's my turn?

Let me think................

If memory serves me correctly, I think that Nurburgring GP/F is well suited for the Subaru Impreza TC
.


NEXT!

 

[CinnamonOD]

For the banner

And this is what I'm going to use this time

As usual:
Midnight Purple III
Chrome Orange

 

[rossitronic]

I think THRASH has next track choice but I'm gonna throw my 2¢ in.
Cape Ring North

 

[fzappa]

That's cool Ross! That's your choice. It's already nearing the end of Wednesday and the new season starts Saturday. Second place through sixth place gets to pick the tracks. Enough time was allotted to the next in line to pick their track so please let the fourth place finisher of last season make their track choice.
We need to get these tracks picked so cmbeal can put them in random order, like he normally does. Please guys, let's not wait until Friday to get all the tracks chosen.

 

[THRASH]

Whoops my bad I didn't know we did it in order lol. I'm going to select Eiger Nordwand Reverse

 

[cmbeal317]

My choice for next season is Suzuka!

So far the choices have been:
Kendawg - Subaru Impreza TC(Awesome!!)
fzappa - Nurb. GP/F
Thrash - Eiger Reverse
Rossitronic - Cape Ring North
cmbeal317 - Suzuka
Chatva - ?

As soon as I have Chatva's choice, I'll decide the order and post it here as well a the first post.

WOW!!! I guess it's only fitting that our fearless leader posted the 2000th post:tup: The funny thing is that he didn't notice it

Here's to another 2000 post's to the longest running S.N.A.I.L. Series Race

I also want to thank , as if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have any posts.


See everyone Saturday night! Looking forward to see where we start the season

I see I can get around 1:58 at the Nurburg if I'd break in the car and find a good braking point for that first corner, but overall the car feels great
