◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Currently Recruiting for GT7 - JOIN TODAY!!Open

[FaelForna]

Hi FaelForna,

Nice work proactively sending your times to kcheeb!

Thanks for your interest! We would love to have you in the series. Here's what you need to know and do in order to join:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the S.N.A.I.L. OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide.
Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You run the Time Trial. (NOTE: The tires selected for this have more grip than our current tire regulations allow, but please follow the directions exactly anyways).
2. You PM kcheeb with your time from the time trial (no Sunday racing until this is completed).
3. We assign you to the division that we feel will give you the closest competition.
4. We send you a you a PSN friend request from the corresponding SNAIL_Division1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 account. That PSN account's lounge is where you will race on Sunday night.
5. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

The original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.

Please note that we often race DLC from three add-on packs:

Racing Car Pack
Course Pack
Twin Ring Motegi Pack

If you don't have these add-on packs, you will need to sit out the races in which they are used.

If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, post your choices in this thread.
To avoid duplication, the currently claimed combinations can be found here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.

Welcome to S.N.A.I.L.

Thanks Skill ... I'm reading SNAIL OLR and I'm choosing the color of the car and wheels; Iris Blue Pearl color of the car and Withe the color wheel, I always use my number is 77 and I see that is not being used. Again thanks for listening!

I'm curious about this call. Is it where you tell your boss you quit or just won't be in today?

Haven't really been following the RacerX thing this year so haven't read much about it. Is the TT just today or over the entire conference?

It's to see if I can get replaced this week. The time trial is today and tomorrow with a finals on Thursday. I'm supposed to be in salt lake Thursday. They take the top four to the finals Thursday. Really hope the boss is cool about it. Guess we'll see.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Well then you can wait until tomorrow to make that call. Keep getting those times lower!

Will you get to keep making runs tomorrow too?

 

[Rallywagon]

So what I don't understand is...why release a BRAND NEW game like GT6 and not make it compatible on your LATEST and greatest hardware like the PS4?

It seems really idiotic that the PS4 will probably release just before, or at the same time as GT6, and Sony's top of the line brand spanking new racing sim won't be available for it.

"What does 'Baffled' mean?"
The above is a movie quote.

Well, for the short time I've been working in project management for the technology department for the state of Michigan, I can fathom the reasons. But, the main reason, most of the game, if not all, was already done for a ps3 release, and a large bulk of coding was no doubt already done for the ps3, before the ps4 dev kits were issued out. So why trash all of that work, time and investment? They have to start from the ground up for the architecture change, might as well finish gt6 for ps3 and start gt7 for ps4

Ninja'd!

 

[FaelForna]

Skill So, as I sent the PM, my color will be Iris Blue Pearl with white wheels and my number is 77

 

[dabneyd]

You shouldn't have expected any less.

I actually was not trying. I just wanted to get 29999. Was really just looking for updates from Hill

Do me a favor and post that on my wall. I'm the official Color/Number keeper for the league, but I'm at the tail end of moving and I am working on getting our new place up and to our standard, so I haven't been able to get to the list yet. To do this, just click my name > View Public Profile and then leave a visitor message there. Thanks. THis goes for anyone whom recently requested a color number or had a change.

To that end. Zer0, Cheeb, can we get an edit in there, I think you guys are running off the oldest list. My set of links has the more current list. I'll try to get it updated this week. And perhaps we can make a link to my wall with instructions to post your color there. Perhaps...

More to come on that. (working on something)

You shouldn't have expected any less.

Nope, been choppin it up pretty good lately fella. hows that go, great minds think alike.

 

[hillracing]

So I'm still leading. Keep shaving time off every try. Not a lot of serious guys here yet. Oh and I made the call and my boss is awesome and I'm going to stay and go for it. Thanks for the support guys. Snail rocks!!!

 

[Schmiggz]

Nicky... congrats for your first snail aniversary
Russ... awesome track choice.
We're still waiting for socal's choice, right?

Right on! Maybe zer0 can overnight a S.N.A.I.L. t-shirt to you

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

That would be cool to see in video and pics!

After getting so close last year, I hope you have some luck to go with your skill and make it all the way!

That'd be cool. Talking up snail to everyone in line. Met some people from Spain who run a big gt5 league over there.

Thanks for the support Joe. Really hope I can stay on top when Patrick gets here tomorrow. Don't expect it to be easy but I'm going to give it everything I can.

 

[Rallywagon]

Ok, so that color thing. Zer0, Cheeb, can you please link THIS link for all the color/number stuff. I have the process and rules I would like to utilize explained there and instructions on submitting their choice as well. Skillz, I see you're currently running the welcome message, can you add the new link to the message as well.

 

[OwensRacing]

Lets get those new combos going gentlemen!!!


GT500 GTR Triplets would be a sweet venture.

Sorry for the confusion. I've posted your selections to Rallywagon's visitors messages for you.

For those that don't know what's cheeb's referring to.. A random guy nabbed the first ever 5-digit post number in the history of gtplanet's Online Events forums.. Only to find out that he had planned it all along..

not me

Nice! Congrats on 30K folks!

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Zer0 is your PM inbox full again?

 

[zer05ive]

Zer0 is your PM inbox full again?

Nope. I got room for 40 more right now, but that goes quickly.

I got your PM from about 30 minutes ago if that's what you're wondering. Just need time to write a reply since it's not a simple "yes" or "no" type of answer.

No rush. I just didn't get the usual message read receipt tracking notification when I sent it.

 

[zer05ive]

What's the waiting time between each runs?Do you have a good lead on your closest opponent? 👍 Good luck!

Wait time is about half hour per run right now. Have about .7 last I looked. The trip winners aren't here yet.

Sorry for the stupid question, but what trip winners is hill talking about? Can someone provide some enlightenment? (anyone but hill since he needs to focus on other things right now!)

Right on! Maybe zer0 can overnight a S.N.A.I.L. t-shirt to you

That'd be cool. Talking up snail to everyone in line. Met some people from Spain who run a big gt5 league over there.

hill, when things have quieted down, PM me the address you'll be at on Thursday along with your T-shirt size and I'll overnight one to you in the morning. 👍

You've got the support of all of S.N.A.I.L. so go represent!

 

[GranStand Bill]

Go Hill, and all other Snails at Racer X. I'll be there tomorrow.

Zero if you want to overnight some shirts to me (you owe me one anyway ) I can distribute them to fellow snails.

Hill, what tires is the 370Z on?

Heck yeah, that'd be awesome! Want me to send to your HB address or a hotel address? I'll send the Large I owe you, and whatever size hillracing and Adventuruss needs (hopefully either Large or XL since that's all I have left )

dgaf, did you bring your S.N.A.I.L. shirt with you? If not I'll send another Large for you.

Any other snails gonna be there? If so, speak up so that I can send Bill a shirt for you!

 

[pyxen]

Good luck Hill! Good luck all of you!
