Hi. A friend recommended i join, so here i am officially requesting a sign up

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Monza should be 5 laps. When you consider the first lap is going to be well north of 2 minutes and you have the average lap time already at 2 minutes, six laps is going to be over 12 minutes.

I'm d7 and I'm below 2 minutes was practicing with @vsfit and he is just over 2 minutes and getting faster as he gets more confidence so i disagree! lol

@Engmatic1

Here's your official S.N.A.I.L. Welcome Post!​

Thanks for your interest!
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 take the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and Racecraft Test

2. You run the Time Trial and submit your information by 23:59 EST on Saturday night if you want to race this Sunday.

3. @JLBowler PM's you with your assigned Division that we feel will give you the closest competition. You will be added to the drivers list.

4. Send a PSN friend request to the Race Director or Primary Host from your assigned SNAIL Division. Sunday night you will need to sort the online lobbies by friends and join the lobby named 'snailracing.org Division_(x) based off your Division placement from JLBowler. That lobby will be where you race Sunday.

5. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below. Now if you've actually read this, post a in this thread.

• Original Post
• Drivers List
• SNAIL FAQ

6. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, 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.
If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained 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.

Line-up settings for Thursday practice. I am a bit concerned about the Nissan at Monza. We need to see how long the 6 laps will take to complete. The night will be a long one as all the races approaches 12 minutes.

I have a question. Why is the Aston/Red Bull combo's qualifier 4 laps with a 46 second buffer?

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Hurrah official practice tonight! get to solve all the queries about sundays line up tonight

Done and done! Looking forward to....

Using a median time target 10-12 minute, with the priority being going closer to 12 rather than less than 10, for our races, 660 seconds are divided by a lap time, in seconds, to get race laps.

This raises another question. In my first full race with the "fast Datsun" at Monza I won the race with a total race time of 9:57 with a best lap time of 1:57 and change. Later in the night and with more practice I, and others, improved and were running 1:56s. I appreciate I am in D2 but in this earlier post:

I'm d7 and I'm below 2 minutes was practicing with @vsfit and he is just over 2 minutes and getting faster as he gets more confidence so i disagree! lol

we can see that the average lap is likely to be less than 2 minutes. Using the above algorithm does that mean the number of laps at Monza should be 6 rather than 5?

What if snail was on saturday nights instead of sunday nights?...this way if a room takes all night..most of us wont have to go to work the next morning all tired

that is why we have sick days!

 

[llNovall]

Many of us have plans or go out on Saturday nights; dates, parties, out of town, etc. If the rooms operate efficiently and on time, Sunday nights tend to finish by 11:45pm. I know myself, I would miss at least 2-3 events per season if it were Saturdays.

EVERY Monday can't be a sick day...

after practice tonight you will either want to or will change it back to 6

 

[Dragonwhisky]

For all those folks with questions about how we figure out race laps and qualifying session times, it all hinges on getting a decently accurate median lap time to base calculations on. Ideally, since we're using the middle of the time period target, which is no less than 10 minute and nor more than 12, we need accurate time values from one of the middle divisions. At present, that would be Divisions 4 & 5. When Rednose gets lap times from higher or lower division drivers he has to guesstimately compensate to hit that middle division time.

Also of note, if a sacrifice must be made to stay as close as possible to the 10-12 minute range, the sacrifice is made so that we don't go under ten.

i'm not questioning i'm implying that the race laps should not be set in stone until after Thursday practice

 

[MajorBlixem]

Div 5 here....
Monza Personal Best 1:58.4. Ran consistently under the 2:00 minute mark
Grand Valley Personal Best 1:18.6. Consistent in the low 1:19's

 

[JLBowler]

D3 here. Ran 8 laps at Monza and my best was 1:59.9. Might as well call it 2:00. Based on some of the times being thrown around I'm either in the wrong division or I'm the only one that stays on the track in practice and practices online.

Apparently we're not keeping you busy! No practice for @JLBowler!

The whole point is to get them set in stone, so practice can simulate Sunday racing. It's why we run the deadlines the way we do.
