Man you are all hard to keep up with (in more ways than one!) But as far as colors go, I down with sky blue body/orange wheels... Just need an easy way to dupe the colors. Trying to read back into other posts. Just a limited amount of time... Thanks!

Thanks, Exo. I've added your colors to the color post.

So what's going on tonight?

diabolic friday SNAIL_Division2 lounge.

Oops, I just realized that you weren't able to join the event tonight. We've made a lot of improvements since you last raced with us, including the creation of a divisional lounge system. This system allows our members to participate in a variety of events hosted every day of the week by different members, but without the need to add all of the hosts to your PSN friends list.

I've just send you a friend request from all thee of the divisional accounts. Once you accepted all three of them, feel free to delete my zer05ive account from your friends list if you wish. Welcome back!!

 

[kcheeb]

I'm back! Sorry I was gone for month working out at the gym instead playing gt5

Welcome back koreanbro!

I'll add you to the drivers list you'll be starting in the Division 3 group. Please note, there is no official Sunday Division race this Sunday April 8th. Keep an eye out on this thread though, as Rallywagn has plans to run an event.

PSN friend requests will be sent to you from SNAIL_Division1, SNAIL_Division2 and SNAIL_Division3. Their lounges are where we race Sunday night and hold our various events. Here's a breakdown of the ways we use the different lounges.

During the week we run a number of different events feel free to jump in and partake!

The original post also has a lot of information regarding the league, have a browse through it.

Welcome aboard and enjoy

EDIT: Ninja'd back. By less than 7 hours though!

 

[Handlebar]

My wheels will be black!

I will be back tomorrow, but I will go with a bright green and chrome look.

 

[Rallywagon]

Okay, I've added both of these selections to the color list.

 

[spooble]

My color scheme is (some shade of) matte gray with orange wheels.

 

[kcheeb]

👍

 

[wrxsilver]

Okay, my mistake on day of week. If the BMW race is tonight (sat) then yes, I can male it. I got all lost and thought it was last night. So, I will see everyone tonight.

Machine.

Rally kicked it off....he suggested that we use the same colour for our cars to make it easier to identify in the mirrors. I'm presuming he just meant for the Sunday night stuff.

That was the original intent for sure. Sunday night races only.

If you really want to dupe and dupe and dupe, paint all you cars

 

[Chiochan]

Dark green's with color shift rims will be my paint scheme. had fun in the alpine last night and that was a great custom track Diabolic. Thanks!

 

[Rallywagon]

Hey. Thanks bowler and tcrash for the mattes. Much obliged. Anything I can do for you fellas? Just ask.

 

[tezgm99]

Dark green's with color shift rims will be my paint scheme.

I believe that zer0 put my British Racing Green down as 'dark green' yesterday....you can keep your rims though

Edit: and speaking of rims, I will go with the standard silver RAYS VR.G2 please.

Just wanted to put out a little reminder that the BMW M3 GTR Challenge will be taking place at 10pm EDT tonight in the SNAIL_Division 2 lounge. Also if you plan on staying after the race please bring along a stock Race Modified VW Golf IV GTI. That's so we can test to see how they would run alongside the M3 if we turn this into a racing series. Hope to see a good turnout tonight.

 

[cmbeal317]

I got a little busy during the week, but today I was able to upload some of the pictures I took from last weeks races in division 3.

As you can see, I like taking pictures in tunnels. I think is easier to get them to look realistic, without editing the pictures outside of the game.​

 

[Rallywagon]

So, when is the drivers list going to be updated to reflect the current promotions and relegation's?

Im going to assume you did NOT even look at, and compare the two cars stat's.
The BMW is at roughly 465 HP (broken in, w/ oil), and 575PP, and FR
The VW is 167 HP (No break in, w/ oil) and 413 PP, and FF

I would recommend in the future to make sure the cars at atleast close to lap times/HP/Weight/PP to make sure its going to be a good test side by side. This way who ever stays after the race to help out with your testing, doesnt say to them self's "Well.....These cars are not even close, did you compare the two, or just pick them out of the blue."
But either way, we can run them still, and see how they do none-the-less.

I'm guessing you misunderstood the the post I had made about tonight's races detailing how they would work for tonight. After the race we are going to run them just to see whether we would use them in a multi-class series, with both cars running on the track at the same time, or running two separate races with one for each car. If we run them together, they would be competing for two different championships. One for the BMW and the other for the VW. Then at the end of the season, about 7 or 8 races, I would award prizes to the top three from both championships. If we ran them separately then points would be totaled together in one championship. Hopefully that makes some sense of why we're doing that tonight after the main event.

 

[Rallywagon]

Ahh, so the BMW class and the VW class. Im going to assume that you will just be going off the scoreboard for the final positions since the VW's wont be passing the finish line any time close to the bmws

 

[Rallywagon]

BTW, I like this idea, Very Le Mons ish. Kinda like basing it off of distance driven in a set time instead of laps. At least for the VWs.

 

[cmbeal317]

That's exactly what I was thinking of, since it's a micro enduro, why not include multi-class racing. Plus it puts pressure on the BMW drivers having to deal with traffic.

The room is up now for anyone who would like some extra time to practice. Current time to beat is a 1:52.365, I know I can get more out of the car and will be trying hard during qualifying. I'll reset the track at 10pm and then qualifying will begin. When the clock reaches 20 minutes, I'll start the race.

 

[irmopars]

Gotcha, yes misunderstood post

 

[zer05ive]

That was a fun race tonight! Props to cmbeal 317 for putting that together. Good job hosting as well! 👍

P.S. Those "tunnel shots" you posted are sweet!

 

[irmopars]

Rise and shine all! Happy Easter! I agree fun racing last night! We need a full grid of cars tho for the 2 BMW Classes. Buy up the BMW M3 Race Car, and the BMW 320i Touring car from the OCD!!

 

[fzappa]

Had a great time racing with everyone last night. To bad it wasn't a full room but maybe next week. Good job beal! I love the 20 lap races with pits. Maybe more laps?👍
Everyone should get in on this! It would be awesome to have 14-16 cars racing.
Happy Easter to all and see ya tonight

 

[Handlebar]

Whew! Back home, at last.

I'm revising my colors (now that I can see mine) to: Lime Green Metallic / Chrome rims
