^^ new rule. well done tez!

 

[tezgm99]

Always happy to help out, lol

Edit: the new Scion doesn't handle half bad in the game if I'm honest.

Car: Dodge Ram 1500 (found in OCD for another week till wednesday)
Track: Trial Mountain

I believe this will be a fun combo, no one has ever raced trucks here (in Snail).

Cape Ring South/Ferrari 512BB '76
Indy was better than I expected, you actually had to work to find the greatest grip in the turns, I was actually catching you guys in the second race before I hit the wall and lost what I gained lol.

Thanks for making your Prize A and Prize B selections so quickly!! The lineup has been updated!

 

[Handlebar]

Keep an eye on that 512BB - go easy on the throttle on some of those hairpins, I think... (gulp).

I am SO going to be at tutoring... and on the track more. My summer class is getting my home by 4 pm EST, so I can get some wheel time in. And no class next week, as well!

Excellent! Track time helps a lot 👍

 

[zer05ive]

I'll suprise everyone and use my tie breaking vote get rid of the Viper at Indy. That means Bronco can change half of the Cape Ring South/Challenger combo. Sorry for the wait, it's only 8:40 in the am and it's summer vacation here.

I give you credit for for voting to completely voting off a combo that you scored two 1st place finishes on! Don't forget to let me know what you want for your Prize C.

I heard the DLC wont be out till some time tomorrow, is it out already by what your saying? If so, Sweet!

 

[JLBowler]

Too many ways I could see to make a bad combo with either the Viper or Indy Oval. I think they worked well together. It was a nice mix of speed, tire conservation, strategy, and (as Bronco said) skill to find the right line through the corners.

I'll take the level 24. I can use it to get different colors of the formula cars.

Everybody should get their DLC because the first chance I get, we're running the Motegi Oval. It is out right now. I've already made some laps there.

Yep, it's already out for us people in North America....well, Canada for sure since I d/l it about an hour ago

Ninja'd by Bowler

 

[irmopars]

I plan on getting the DLC track. How would this work Bowler, if EVERYONE doesnt have it we dont race it? I believe Zero didnt want to make it a Req. for joining here, made an exception for the Spa/Kart track DLC.
Does anyone NOT plan on getting this NEW DLC?

 

[tezgm99]

The Scion is a freebie, so no one can gripe if it gets chosen....actually, I think there is now a Scion dealer in the NCD too (didn't check myself, just going on what others have said. I wanted to drive the thing to see what it's like, lol).

 

[Handlebar]

I plan on getting it in... A very few minutes. Will it be open in all accts on the Ps3? Hrmmm

 

[tezgm99]

Yep, it is, Handlebar....got it once and it showed up on both accounts on my PS3

Edit: confirmed, Scion does show up in the NCD.

Thanks!

Just downloaded it. Have some more wrk to do, and share the tv to keep em all happy, but I am looking forward to trying both.

What is the Scion similar to? An FF at 23 hp or ?

 

[tezgm99]

Without oil change stats; FR, 192bhp, 402PP and stock tyres are the SH ones.

If its avalible when I get home I'm buying it. Come on 5 bucks for a new track and a car! No brainer!

4 tracks if you want to get technical about it

 

[esh]

Just got both car and track(s). I will be driving this tonight...or my car from the constructor series, but definitely on TM!

 

[fzappa]

Wiseguy! One track, four configurations. Now that's technical. 😊

 

[JLBowler]

Actually, it's two tracks. One of which has three different configurations. The oval and the road course do not share any of the same pavement.

We decided that although we can't require members to own DLC tracks, it won't stop us from racing them!

That being said, we need to give a reasonable amount of time for everyone to pick up the DLC if they want to. I know it's easy to just put a credit card down, but there are those (like me) who still don't trust the PSN and would rather just buy a PSN card. Is two weeks a reasonable amount of time for us to wait? That would mean Motegi would be eligible to be selected for the official July 15th Sunday races (and the unofficial July 11th Wednesday races). Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

[JLBowler]

I should have been more clear. First chance means the first time I have a choice in track/car combo and it's allowed to be done.

 

[Bye Ya]

I'd like to join, if registration is still available.

The more I think about it, is waiting two weeks really necessary? Perhaps we should wait just one week and therefore make Motegi available for the official July 8th Sunday races (and the unofficial July 4th Wednesday races). Granted the July 4th grid will probably be smaller than usual due to the holiday.

 

[JLBowler]

I for one will not be practicing on the 4th of July. It's my mom's 60th birthday and my wife and I are throwing the party at our house.

I think the fact that a lot of people won't be practicing on the 4th (to celebrate Bowler's mom's 60th birthday of course ) makes me think we should go ahead and give everyone two weeks to buy the DLC. It's a brand new track for most of us and I think it'll only make the racing better to give everyone ample time to practice the new track(s) before we have official races on them.

Therefore, Motegi will be eligible to be selected for the official July 15th Sunday races (and the unofficial July 11th Wednesday races).

Hey Bye Ya,

We're in luck, registration is available

We run a clean league by enforcing the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and we highly encourage all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become familiar with both.

I'll add you to the drivers list, you'll be notified in the near future about the process for determining which Division you'll be starting in. If you can't make it on a Sunday, please be sure to give us at least 24 hours notice by posting in this forum, it makes things much simpler for us, thanks.

PSN friend requests will be sent to you from SNAIL_Division1, SNAIL_Division2 and SNAIL_Division3. Their lounges are where we race Sunday night and hold our various events. Here's a breakdown of the ways we use the lounges.

During the week we run a number of different events feel free to jump in and partake!

The original post also has a lot of information regarding the league, commit it to memory

Welcome aboard and enjoy

 

[Bye Ya]

Thanks, appreciate it.



One question though - when you say that tuning is prohibited, does that include brake bias?

 

[dabneyd]

Thanks, appreciate it.

Nope, that and engine limiting are the only things you can change when tuning is set to prohibited.

 

[Bye Ya]

Ok, thanks. Are you all racing tonight then at 10pm Eastern?
