Here you go wireless to San Fran

In comparison, here's mine. While our ping is comparable, his upload rate blows mine off the planet. Granted, my ISP caps mine at 2Mb, if I wanted I suppose I could pay for more.

And the packet loss/ping/jitter test to Frisco.

If Fox were located in the central US with that connection I would push really hard for him to host all divisions on his 5 boxes and take up a collection to get him 2-3 more.

Attention

I am need of 2 hosts for tonight's official practice.
I am sure that there wont be enough people on to justify
3 rooms, But due to the rapid growth of SNAIL. I feel it
is necessary.

Here are the room names along with who should go where.

Blue Room- D1/D2/ Top 3 finishers in D3 from sunday night
Red Room- Remainder of D3/D4/Top 5 finishers in D5.
Green Room- Remainder of D5/D6/D7.

I will be hosting the Green Room. @ 9:30 I would like Practice room host to PM the numbers of racers in their perspective rooms. This will give me live feed back on the number of rooms that will be needed in the future. Thank you for all of your cooperation.
​

I can help

 

[shmibal_GT]

So can I host red? If so,what should I call the room and such?

@fastfox400 I agree to the terms and conditions and am ready to make my selections.

I will be there for practice tonight.

@qwietstorm You are authorized to make you selections. Just qoute Skills and delete the quotations

 

[Nicktune]

I had fun last week! I decided to give the wheel a try.I finished 1st at the enduro and I got the pole on combo 1 and 2. I really need to work on my consistency though. My failure rate is high at the moment, compare to the ds3.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I was hoping to get some clarification from more senior SNAILS here. I've noticed a number of cases where drivers go off course and then back on course. In the few replays that worked, it never looked malicious, but it still raises a question. Here's an example situation. Alice is in first, and Bob and Carol are in second and third, a few seconds behind Alice but Carol is right behind Bob. Daniel is a few seconds behind them in fourth. Carol ties for a certain line on a turn, realizes she started breaking too late, and to avoid a collision slides off the track. Bob maintains the lead.

If Bob and Carol are practicing good racecraft, they each take their line through the corner safely, and are both faster for it. They have a better chance of catching Alice and are farther away from Daniel. But in this case, Carol made an error and has gone off track. (Think turn 13 at Suzuka) She's still in control and gets back onto the raceway at speed. Bob is ahead of her and doesn't need to slow down. Daniel is far back enough that he doesn't need to slow down to allow Carol to reenter. However, Carol has now used tarmac outside the raceway to take on the corner.

How do the rules apply here? I've underlined my guess at the relevant parts in the quote above.

On one hand, the order of racers hasn't changed. On the other, does that mean going outside the track is okay if nobody else is around? I don't really think the latter argument is valid; it lets racers gain on those ahead of them (or behind them) by literally cutting corners. Then again, going off track is almost always slower unless you're deliberately driving over chicanes or something. Is the loss in speed for Carol a fair penalty for her mistake? How far back does Daniel have to be before he is unaffected by Carol's driving?

In particular, I've seen this situation show up a lot at the beginning of races. I could swear I've read that going into the first corner of a race from start, drivers should get into an orderly line. If you started 12th, you should be going 12th into the corner (though perhaps not 12 out of the corner). Even so, I see a lot of two- and three-wide battles in corners as the line is established in the first few minutes of the race. It seems slow at best, dangerous at worst. In those situations, its hard to tell if somebody's gone off track because of their own bad judgement or if they were using good judgement to avoid a pileup.

Just my opinion, but I'd say somebody who goes off track (for any reason) and is trying to stay at full speed is breaking the rules. Sure, individual cases need to be judged on their own. But slowing down to avoid a crash, even if it costs a few spots, is better than having a crash. If nothing else, getting passed costs a second or two, but a real crash can take five or more seconds to recover from, if at all. But, I'm a newbie here, and would like to hear from those with experience.

You have pretty much answered your own questions correctly. However, incidents can always be put forward for stewards to review.

-Drivers going out of bounds will face penalties, especially if it's possible to gain an advantage. If a driver goes out of bounds, but lets off enough to satisfy the stewards and to get back inline (think Spa-Pouhon), or hits a wall etc, it's probably left alone.

-If reentry after an off affects another driver - Penalty.

-OLR regarding corner rights and overlap apply to every corner including first corner of the first lap. Don't get me started on this one.

Not sure if I missed something. Let me know if you have any other questions via PM, if you like.

Handlebar, my choice is the Renault Megane Trophy base model '11 (cr.100,000) at Fuji/F

Double Ditto!

Hey Fox, are you handling the practice posts?....

MVM.. seems that you got it covered.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

I would host Blue room again but unsure how long I'll be online

 

[dabneyd]

Excellent! If you have a chance, go to www.speedtest.net and post your connection speeds so we can confirm what you are running and I will list you as a back up host/director! Thanks!

You should also go to pingtest.net and post those results as well.
