Points of Interest
Silverstone International
The track made it's first appearance in the GT series with the 2013 GT Academy time trial. The track was then included in GT6 with all three versions available.
With the multiple layouts of the track, there are some questionable areas when it comes to track boundaries. These areas along with basic examples are included in the photos below.
This photo shows the inside of turn one or "Abbey" on the map. The red/white rumble strips are considered to be part of the track. The green painted area and the two red squares are NOT part of the track here or on any other part of the track.
This photo is taken at the exit of "Abbey" on the outside of the track. In this case the white line represents the edge of the track until you reach the red/white rumble strips which are part of the track. As always, cones and pylons are not to be contacted at any time.
This photo is taken at the apex of the "Village Corner." There's nothing out of the ordinary here but the red/white rumble strips are part of the track. The red painted area is NOT part of the track in this, or any other spot on the track.
This photo is taken at the exit of the "Village Corner" just before the "Link." This shows a red/white rumble strip which is part of the track and the green painted area that is NOT part of the track here or anywhere else.
Fuji Speedway GT Layout
Turn one. The inside of the corner is clearly marked by the red/white rumble strips which are considered track at all locations on Fuji. The outside of the corner has plenty of runoff area. The red/white strips are part of the track. The green area is NOT part of the track here or anywhere else. If you find yourself in the green or further out here, you will need to return to the racing surface only when you can do so without affecting any other driver in any way. If this means you have to let the entire field by on lap 1 then so be it.
Nurburgring GP/F
There isn't a lot of history involved with the Nurburgring GP/F layout. In it's current configuration, it has only been around since 2002. It has hosted F1 races and is set to be on an alternating schedule to host the German Gran Prix. The track was originally built in 1984 when it was added to the Nordschleife after that track was deemed unsafe for F1 competition. It was determined that a new circuit be built instead of completely changing the historic Nordschleife. That decision gave birth to the new GP/F layout and created the endurance layouts for the track as a whole.
Track boundaries are pretty straight forward with a couple of grey areas where the various layouts come together. The photos below will explain the various types of curbing at the track and clear up the areas where other layouts come in and out of the GP/F circuit.
This first shot is showing the exit of turn 1. The paved area to the left of the white line is NOT part of track for this layout. It is paved because it connects two sections of track that are used for the endurance layout. You are required to have at least two tires on or to the right of this white line while exiting the corner.
This shot is taken at the exit of turn 2 looking toward turn 3. The red/white rumble strips are considered part of the track. The green area and the run off area to the right of these strips is NOT part of the track. If you find yourself out here, you must lift off the throttle and return to the racing surface when you can do so without affecting another driver in any way.
This picture it taken as you are exiting the Mercedes Arena area of the track and serves as an example of the curbing on the inside of a turn at this track. The red/white rumble strips are part of the track here and at every corner on the track. The grey area to the inside of the strips is NOT part of the track.
This is the exit of the turn leaving the Mercedes Arena. This is a part of the track where two layouts come together. The red/white rumble strips are part of the track but as soon as they end, the white line becomes the edge of the track. The green area and the paved area to the left of the rumble strips and then the white line are NOT part of the track. You must keep two tires on or to the right of the rumble strips, and as soon as they end, the white line.
Another example of curbing that appears on the inside of the track. Once again the red/white is part of the track, the green paved area is NOT part of the track.
Showing the exit of turn 9 here. The same as before, the red/white is part of the track and the green paved and other run off area to the right is NOT part of the track. If you end up out here, you will need to lift off the throttle and rejoin the track when it is safe to do so.
The next two shot are of the chicane before the last turn back onto the front straight. Once again, the red/white rumble strips are part of the track, the green area behind those strips is NOT part of the track. In addition, you should never make contact with the barrier in the second picture even if you can still have two wheels on track while doing so.

Getting pumped up for tonight! Even more excited about Canada's performance at the Olympics! #WeAreWinter
Also, I see people have colour combo's for their cars... Is that a mandatory thing, or can I run whatever?

Yes Robbie, you should take a look at the car/wheel colors list and choose your own making sure it doesn't collide with anyone in your division. Same goes for the racing cars number but here you can't have the same number as anyone in any division.

Sorry for the late notice D1 drivers / admins, but I have to bow out of this week's races and possibly next weekend's as well. Too much work/life getting in the way, but it should calm down soon. I haven't even had time to turn on the PS on in the last two weeks except for last Sunday's races.
I'll be back soon though, love racing with you guys!

Points of InterestThis week S.N.A.I.L. will be running at Silverstone International, Fuji GT, and Nurburgring GP/F. Silverstone is making it's third appearance in a row. Fuji is back for seconds this week and Nurburgring GP/F is making it's GT6 debut. Without further ado, here are your points of interest for this week.

This photo is taken at the exit of the "Village Corner" just before the "Link." This shows a red/white rumble strip which is part of the track and the green painted area that is NOT part of the track here or anywhere else.
This last photo is taken at the exit of the "Link" and may be the most ambiguous area of the track when it comes to boundaries. This is the spot that the other layout of the track would meet with this layout so there is open pavement and curbs and lines that don't apply to this layout. As always, cones are NOT to be contacted at any time. In this area of the track, the white line will serve as the track boundary. The red/white rumble strips used for the corner on the other layout are NOT part of this track.
Fuji Speedway GT Layout
Fuji Speedway was originally planned to be a 2.5 mile superspeedway with the end goal to host NASCAR races. That original plan quickly ran out of money and the road course was built instead. The original layout had one of these high banked corners but it was later removed due to safety concerns. Fuji Speedway hosted it's first Formula One race in 1976. The layout of this track has evolved many times over the years and now consists of the GT and F layout. The track boundaries are actually quite easy to understand here. There is plenty of runoff area at this track but none of it is legal to race on. Examples are included below.
Turn one. The inside of the corner is clearly marked by the red/white rumble strips which are considered track at all locations on Fuji. The outside of the corner has plenty of runoff area. The red/white strips are part of the track. The green area is NOT part of the track here or anywhere else. If you find yourself in the green or further out here, you will need to return to the racing surface only when you can do so without affecting any other driver in any way. If this means you have to let the entire field by on lap 1 then so be it.
Exit of turn 3, Coca-Cola Corner. Once again the green stuff is NOT part of the track. If you're out there, you must wait until it is safe to come back on.
Exit of the last corner leading down the front straight. Once again, the green stuff is NOT part of the track. Same as before, if you end up out there, you will need to wait until it is safe to come back onto the racing surface.

From what I remember when I painted my cars, I don't think I'll collided with any colour schemes... As for the numbers, I'd like to request #66. Hopefully no one else has that number. As always, thanks for the help guys! See you on track!

Love the car @qwietstorm!!!
I really really have a soft spot for third gens.
Owned a 91 Z my senior year of HS. While it was basically stock and not even remotely as quick as what I've owned or own. I would take that car back in an instance.
Had 11k on the clock when I parted with it.
Red with the 25th anniversary stripes painted on. Car was literally perfect condition. Always garage kept and I waxed it every other weekend.
I will own another 91/92 Z someday.
@dgaf95integra While I have loads of respect for what your doing. I detest Honda's and FWD. Sorry no love for the car but much for you and what your doing my man.
Honestly what would you expect from a person that had a "mullet" in HS. Not the trashy kind. Just longer in the back. LoL grew up at the dirt track, so if it can't the rear out I just don't like it. It's part of my core. I swore I'd never own FWD. Which in like 30+ cars. Only two were. My first and a beater when I owned a crotch rocket. Outside that everything had a drive shaft powering the rear wheels. Yea now a days. I have front and rear powered on both my rides. But still can get them sideways with rear hanging out. LoL

Here you go. Rally takes care of it.
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/◆-s-n-a-i-l-gt-academy-finale-airs-tonight-on-spike-tv-who-will-be-crowned-the-2013-champion.235094/page-41#post-6768371
S.N.A.I.L. Color and number chart
This post contains the rules governing color and number choice and instructions on requesting a choice.
While choosing a color and number combo is not required, we ask that all of our races to do so. This is done for a number of reasons. From easier driver identification to adding uniqueness in a spec race series. Here are a couple of rules, tips and instructions on submitting your choice.
The rules:
- The driver with a greater number of races participated in has seniority over a racer with less, giving them rights to a particular color/number.
Tip: Have another color in mind just in case.- Any color and any combo is allowed, so long as it does not match or present a hard distinction from another driver in your division.
Tip: Look at the divisions above and below, if you or another who is looking to be promoted and they hold seniority, be prepared to switch colors.- Please try not to duplicate numbers with another racer across the series.
- Please, enter a paint chip and not a general color. (IE, WC Mica Blue, as opposed to Blue) This will insure that we get the maxiumum amount of use of hues in any given color.
Instructions:
- Read the current Color/Number Chart first!
- First decide on a body and rim color combo.
- Next click HERE and fill out the form
- To find when your SNAIL start date, click here. Column T "SNAIL birth date"
And that's it. The most current list can be found HERE.
Updates (19Jul13): New setup and process to number and color selection starts today. Hope to make this as smooth and streamlined as I can. Look here for more updates in the near future. There are cool things in store...

Some of the divisions for those guys have changed from Rally's spreadsheet (I am on as D3 and later as D6). The sort-by-timestamp auto-input-filter makes it a bit harder to figure out who has what initially, but the info is there - just look for the names of the guys in your division (go from bottom to top - the most recent entries go to the bottom of the form), and you can see their current colors/numbers.

It is not required, however strongly encouraged to run your own unique color and number combo. You are free to pick whatever colors you would like to run, however, I would like to stress that it is encouraged that you run something unique, that isnt already being used in your division.
Thanks for posting Owens. Been elbows deep in an essay on schools, children and our culture. Exciting, if not a bit saddening.
As for the division thing, I've been waiting on a response back from a certain k fellow on a question I had. I have plans to auto populate that field.
