drat, was shuffling in a great shuffle room that exploded, than drifted it out for a while. In the process of pulling the rig apart now for phase three of the build.

Thanks chatva, vail, Drgreen and xrad for a great night of GT. It was fun running laps and shooting the ****. I still can not believe I blew it at trial mountain that was the most fun I have had in months on track

It was good to see Granstand_Bill on track this week 👍 He's been an awesome supporter of S.N.A.I.L. and doesn't get to race as often as he or we'd like. Hope you can make it two in a row!

Not sure if you got the notice from someone else, but you'll actually be joining us in the Division 4 lounge, as we've downsized to keep the rooms pretty full since we're losing so many people in the final months of GT5. Just post here if you need a friend request and they'll get that sorted asap.

Good stuff 👍 Have fun tomorrow!

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, there is a site maintenance notice for tomorrow night starting before, and lasting through the time we'll be racing.

Ugh. That's definitely no bueno.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

In D1 for practice. Join!

Obviously one must ask the following: "What is the decision about tonight's racing?"

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Gtplanet is not the fulcrum that balances whether SNAIL races or not. PSN is.

 

[fzappa]

I think that cmbeal317 was just making us aware that there will be a site maintenance going on before and after the start of racing, just if someone didn't notice and we may not be able to post when each division room is open like we normally do, that's all.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I can see where GTPlanet being down would put a hiccup in our communications but, everyone, by now, knows the drill. Take a peek at your division lounge near race time, if the normal host isn't there yet, wait a few minutes and check again. If it gets close to race time join anyway. Race on. Might not be a bad idea, for those that don't have PSN notifications turned on, to fire them back up.

Heading to D1 for a couple hours practice before the F1 re-telecast.

 

[socalnatv]

What are good lap times for the new combos?

While the GTPlanet outage will be a major drag for us, the show must go on as they say. Tonight will determine the October championships and is also the last night of the GranStand challenge!!

I recommend that everyone who has access to the Directors' Google Doc please sign in tonight. That way, we can still have a centralized way to communicate between the divisions.

I've also been thinking about using Twitter as an alternate way to communicate with our members, and tonight's GTPlanet outage might be a good time to test out the potential of this idea. I also plan on using Twitter to have special league contests and award prizes! So follow me on Twitter and let's have some fun!

Only confirmed followers can see your tweets zero, maybe make an official SNAIL account?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

What are good lap times for the new combos?

I'm guessing..
1
2:11s

2
1:34s

3
1:54s

 

[Dragonwhisky]

For some odd reason, I don't think you're guessing.

 

[kcheeb]

I'm guessing..
1
2:11s

2
1:34s

3
1:54s

So based on those times, the following laps should be good?

ROUND ONE
Nissan Fairlady Z Version S (Z33) '07 (326HP / PP 463) (Sports Medium tires) @Road Course - Twin Ring Motegi (5 laps)

ROUND TWO
Alfa Romeo GIULIA TZ2 carrozzata da ZAGATO CN.AR750106 '65 (177HP / PP 501) (Racing Hard tires) @Trial Mountain Circuit (7 laps)

ROUND THREE
Chevrolet 2014 Stingray Final Prototype (free DLC) (478HP / PP 533) (Sports Soft tires) @Road Course - Daytona (6 laps)

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I'm guessing because those are my times after a couple of coffees. Not sure what it will be after a couple of beers

Just got done with early practice and I managed to hit all your targets. A 33 is possible in rnd 2. Pretty sure d1 will manage that and probably dip well into the 32s. That vette. More precisely, that track.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I already know I'm voting 2. Can't do that combo at all as I have difficulty taking advantage of the crazy grip level.

Loving combo 3.

Yup, I set my account to private. I just confirmed your follow request so now you should see all my tweets etc. Thanks to everyone who's followed so far. I'll try to provide fun and valuable content for you guys. 👍

As for an official SNAIL account, that'll depend on this little experiment.

 

[ExoSphere64]

Sorry for the late notice all but I will not make the races tonight... Just got called into work...👎

Well I'm calling you out of work

👍

EDIT: I was all prepared to not like the Alfa at Trial Mountain, mostly because of Trial Mountain. It's a lot of fun!!!
