Since we off Next Week due to Labor Day weekend which i am still interested in the Sunday night race, what has been planned for Snail to start playing in GT sport. Is their a timeline how long we would still play on GT6 or is the transfer from GT6 to GT sport going to be right away? Reason why i am asking is because i am planning to trade in my PS3 around late September to early October in order to get a PS4 Slim to play GT sport. Not getting the PS4 Pro since i don't have a 4K resolution tv. I know that the release for GTS is not until in October but with time flying so fast, just wanted to get some input over it. I am still planning to buy the Slim version of the PS4 but wondering is Snail going to keep playing on GT6 after GTS releases.

Now this video is a closer example of how to autocross, as opposed to the previous video I shared. I finished 11th overall on PAX, 5th in PRO and had the 4th fastest RAW time (#1 was a kart) - 65.692. My co-driver coned away a run that would have been the fastest car run (64.7).

Based on the release date and the way our seasons are scheduled out, it looks like the earliest transition to GT Sport would be Oct. 29 which is the start of the November season. That date is not official in any way, it's just an estimate of the earliest possible date for a change. Functionality of the game has to be tested along with availability of cars, testing of tracks, and everything else that needs to work in order for us to do what we do.

Labor Day 2017 : Ferrari vs. Mercedes festival at Monza
It looks like there is enough interest to host an event this Sunday September 3, 2017. I suggest we do it on a first come first serve basis, so sign in to the room as soon as it opens around 9:00 PM Eastern Time. I might be out of town again because my wife may get some tickets for a concert in Edmonton. So we will need a back-up host that could run the night. It should be simple.....
Track: Autodromo Nazionale Monza - 8 Laps (approximately 15 minutes)
Car 1: Ferrari 430 Scuderia '07 on SS tires
Car 2: Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG '10 on SS tires (Snail requires RH tires, but we need to level the playing field a bit....)
SNAIL Rules for the rest of the settings
Format:
- There will be 2 rounds with 2 races each with 8 laps per race (4 races in total, approximately 15 minutes in duration each)
- Round 1:
- The cars will be mixed 50/50 (or as close as possible if uneven number of racers) (Look at name list on the right before you enter the track - Uneven numbers take the Merc. Even numbers take the Ferrari)
- Race 1: Qualifying for 5 minutes, then race for 8 laps
- Race 2: Reverse Grid and race 8 laps (Late comers pick a car as per the 50/50 rule above and they will start at the front as per Snail rules)
- Round 2:
- Everybody switch to the other car
- Late comers at this point follow the 50/50 rule above
- Race 1: Qualifying for 5 minutes, then race for 8 laps
- Race 2: Reverse Grid and race 8 laps
- Late comers at the start of round 2 will have to switch cars so that they had a chance to race both)
- Late comers at the start of Race 2 follow the 50/50 rule
- If something comes up that is not covered by a rule... make something up.
If the cumulative number of races per car is uneven, then we'll throw out the lowest scores to get to an even number of cumulative races per car.
If @racingchamp30 is available, we can do a little bit of practice on Thursday.

We have a question for all of those who are still on the drivers list for Sunday night.
Do you currently own or have plans to own a PS4 by the end of October? If you do own or plan to own a PS4 by the end of October, what racing games will you have upon or shortly after release (PCars2 / GTS)?
This is only a question for those that are still on the drivers list for Sunday night on the PS3 platform. We have asked this question in the future forward discussion and gotten good feedback from those that are not currently racing on PS3.
I'll start it off, I have a PS4 and will have both games when they launch.

I don't have a ps4 and unless it turns out my G27 is natively supported it's unlikely I'll decide to spend the $800.00+- for the gear to play.

Labor Day
I ran a few laps in the Merc and Ferrari.
Merc - 5 laps - best lap : 1:51.651
Ferrari - 5 laps - best lap : 1:51.437
These are not Schmed times (@Vegasracer
), it is just a quick few laps to feel these cars out
Different characteristics. Both very satisfactory. Merc is a heavy brute and the Ferrari a nimble dancer (check the weight difference...)
Should be a very interesting night. I hope the 50/50 split brings fast guys together in the two different cars, otherwise we'll "improvise"

I also put in a few laps last night. Very interesting how the cars handle very different but in the end they come out more or less on the same laptimes. Brake early for Brutus down the main straight, once he's going he doesn't like it if you apply brakes.
Just a heads-up...expect Rednose to knock off at least a second on those laptimes during the race....my laptime with the Merc was 1:51.5xx with the Ferrari a couple 10's slower.

Thanks. Unless something dire comes up, I'll be back for at least this one since I'm pickin' it. You just want me to stick around in the hopes I'll get promoted to D1 so you can hand me a right smart whuppin'.
I wasn't at all certain I would be eligible to win a prize, given my (HON) status but it appears that I am.
Don't think ya'll are gonna' like this much but, gonna' get this in now so everyone has some time to come to terms with it.
I had a look here and discovered something that mildly surprised me. While not really surprising but still kind of astounding in the number, there are still over 900 cars in the GT6 stable that SNAIL hasn't ran. What did surprise me was there are still eligible tracks SNAIL has not ran. Winter is coming folks.
I was gonna' pick something to take to the Francorchamps but that track has been run more than any other, and for good reason I will say, but in the interests of being "original" and knocking another track off the list of those eligible, taking into account that traditionally, when this track, in other versions, has been picked it's a one and done, if for no other reason than the lack of laps involved, it will most likely be a sure thing to offer a chance to someone to knock another off the list.
I did entertain the other version of this track first and even taking a lesser insane car to Special Stage Route 5 Clubman / Reverse. I figured to get this survival event done first. After this there'll be 8 track layouts, 2 layouts that are versions of this combo, SNAIL hasn't done yet. If the Prize winners in the coming weeks get in cahoots with one another, those 8 can be knocked out before SNAIL makes the transition to another platform.
Personally, the goal of hitting every eligible track GT6 has to offer is something that oughta' get done before this track list is no longer available.
At any rate, without further ado.
Prize A
Pagani Huayra '13 AKA Ice Dragon PP-623/630 HP-729/768 MR WT1350 Racing: Medium
Circuit de la Sarthe 2005 (No Chicanes)
3:24.279 was my best lap. I'm sure this will be a safe time as this car must be tip toed in several places.
Something I did notice however, if the back end wants to Littlefinger you, feed it about 1/4 to 1/2 throttle and it'll start to understeer. If the front end goes all Arya on you and tries to send you to the great sand trap in the sky, get off the brakes and the gas and it'll stop trying to cut your throat. Be ready though, as soon as you do that, you'll probably need to feed back some of that go fast pedal to keep it from swapping Arya for Littlefinger and making you just a hairy 🤬, cussing the Lord of Light and wishing you were back in the Rocket waving a dragonglass dagger and hanging a middle finger out the side of the car.
See ya'll in couple weeks.
Now this really made my day,,,love the GoT references @Dragonwhisky ,,,,,,Winter is definitely coming!
