◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Currently Recruiting for GT7 - JOIN TODAY!!Open

[aLmk]

I'd like to have it be a mix of Sunday and Wednesday night. Longer races, on normal tire wear, but no pit stops.

If you've seen the Pirelli World Challenge racing series in real life, you know what I'm after. They have 45 minute races with no pitting for fuel or tires. Just 45 minutes of straight hardcore wheel to wheel racing.

I want this, but not a 45 minute race. 20 minute races with 10 minute qualifying would be great. Really get a chance to smooth out your slow spots for the perfect lap by the end of qualifying and then 20 minutes to push it real hard with no worries of fuel load or tire wear. 30 minutes per race, a few races per night, could be a nice 2 hours of racing.

I'm not sure if I want it to be the same car/track combo all night or have the car stay for a "season" and change tracks each night and each week. This would get more tracks into a season, but less overall time on each track. Some info would be great. I'm also not always available on Tuesdays so if this idea got rolling someone else would have to be host while I stay as creative director.

Thoughts?

I would be interested in something like this, but given my line of work, my schedule varies week to week and sometimes I work nights, so it's tough to say I'd always be available for it.

The Rocket at Brands Hatch was another one of the greatest GT6 combos.

My picks for "all-star" combos:
Rocket @ Brands Hatch GP
Renaultsport Megane Base Model @ Spa
Ferrari Dino 246 GT @ Monza or Ferrari 365 GTB4 @ Silverstone GP

Can we hold off on posts like this while the division is making suggestions? It can easily get confusing.

Good call. The pic that @JoeW posted elicited such great emotion from me that I just had to post

Nothing wrong with trying to sway the jury with excellent ideas

 

[DesertPenguin09]

My best so far was a 1:35.487.

 

[Gr8_Lakes]

I would be into that.

Mike, your avatars keep freaking my kid out. He's like, "ahh, is that the same Mike that had that other scary guy?"

These all seem like awesome combos. In the spirit of originality, a newer member like myself wouldn't be able to experience them. When has enough time passed to bring one back? I would accept NEVER as a legitimate answer.

Well almost as fun as this:

Wonder if I still have the replays of when we were using the FR-S in Hill's tuner series....I seem to recall spending the majority of the races either trying to get past you or holding you off

 

[intoflatlines]

So since we were talking about the Rocket, I did some quick research and found out an interesting fact. The actual Rocket has a removable cover behind the driver where a passenger can sit. Cool!

 

[Falango]

A passenger would double the weight of that car though! It's good that they left a tiny passenger compartment, as it looks like you might only be able to fit a toddler in there.

Indeed! Reviews say that the passenger has to straddle the front seat so they kind of ride like 2 people on a motorcycle. It is basically a motorcycle anyways I gues...

[Schmiggz]

Close enough. I just don't like to see complaints about combo selections.

We live in the so called free world my friend, where we have the right to complain, to disagree, not to like and to vent.

 

[tezgm99]

The wheels need more airtime, @DesertPenguin09 ....pretty certain you can roll it around Trial Mountain offline

 

[IceWarden]

You realize you are just making a suggestion right? All of D6 that raced last Sunday gets to suggest a full combo. Then the prize A winner gets to pick his favorite of those if I'm not mistaken.

It just seems like you are testing and taking pics of something that may not even happen.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Those were potential banner pics lol

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I was testing to see if it was a good combo. And pics to be more professional. I know it's just my suggestion.

Since this is a non-responsive prize winner, the entire league that raced on Sunday night (aside from D6) will get to vote on all the suggestions that are made. The prize A winner gets to choose when they have won multiple times in the same season.

So D6 racers from last Sunday all make a suggestion. Then all league members who raced last Sunday vote on those suggestions.

So far only one suggestion?

So far there have been 4 suggestions. XBow at Laguna, Amuse Nismo @ Trial Mtn. Rev., BMW M5 @ Spa, and Ford RS200 @ Materhorn Rotenboden.

Mmm... Willans belts are the creme de la creme of belts... It's like heaven on your shoulders in the car!

 

[McTrucker]

The deadline has arrived and there has been no word from our Prize A winner. Everyone who raced in D6 on Sunday night is allowed to make one and ONLY ONE suggestion for Prize A. The suggestion must be made here in the main thread. Drivers will have 12 hours to make their suggestion. The suggestion period will close at 23:59 Eastern time tonight. At that time, I will make a post with all the valid suggestions. Once that post is made, any driver who raced (except for D6) can vote for one Prize A that they would like to race. The Prize A with the most votes will be the choice. Voting will close at 6PM Eastern time on Thursday. That will leave enough time to get the word out and be ready for practice on Thursday night.

If you are tagged here, you raced in D6 and can make one suggestion. If you make multiple suggestions or suggestions that are not one car and one track then all your suggestions will be thrown out of the voting process.

M5 suggestion was the '05 one right?

You can't add a number to the 05, but you can on the 08...

 

[Wolfsatz]

I am playing around with the new community settings. Will there be a formal announcement as to when the'Snail' Club is opened?

Good to see plenty of suggestions here!

Still investigating how that all will work out.

On another subject entirely, I have to say. I'm not very fond of FF and only marginally less fond of AWD but, ERM A GERD! That new Subaru. Finally, a Subie with, say it with me my Spanish Brethren, Cojones De Carbotanium. The car has a distinctive sound when fired up and has an unearthly growl when its clawing its way out of a corner. Sling it in and let the butt slide out a bit until the front end is pointed at and heading for the apex, then give it the beans and listen to it roar. And the replays! MY GAWD!

I fired up the seasonal just to get the car, golded it on the first lap and went 6 more just for kicks. Saw my best was in 1001st place worldwide and thought, what they hey? I'll run some more and see if I can get into the sub 1000s. Ran 2 more and was completely blown away when I popped a 15 and my place jumped to 512th. Take that @DrKronin , you were first on my FL, but, no more. My placing has already slid a few and I expect will slide much farther by the time the TT closes.

That's two cars now in the GT6 stable that aren't FRs and I had lots of fun driving.

Hit JLBowler's Sig for "useful" posts.

On Driver's List, I believe it will ask you to PM @JLBowler to rejoin.

 

[Rallywagon]

Ahh, got some good progress on the new rig these past few days. Base is done, seat mounted, wheel and pedals finalized. Now to figure out exactly how to do the center console... Hopefully I will be up and running this weekend, and back on sundays next week!

Why can't all Subies sound like that?? This update truly was a treat... Aside from it not having course creator...
