Does anyone know who the owner of GTp Snail you tube channel is?
Our Presence in the tube is almost null.

@zer05ive @CoachMK21 @JLBowler @Dragonwhisky
We should consolidate everyone videos in one repository and official
channel.

Here's a good C&M video

I have one. Snail racing, or something similar. I'll get on and check out in a bit. Has some videos of some Sunday races and I think some of the weekly events as well. I know that there is at least one more. Possibly two. I believe someone started one before me, but they vanished, and someone within the past year, in the time that I was mostly inactive. Could be the same channels though.


Oh, and BTW. Tomorrow, Cat and Mouse! Sounds like we have a lot of interest. So I think doors will be open at 830. This way if we are a couple short, we won't have to wait an hour for more people to show up, and trust me, the more, the better. 3 or 4 teams of 3 is awesome! So long as there are no objections I'll open it up in the club house. And I'll also be posting the car options shortly.

D3 Director's Report
After having a full grid the last 2 Sundays; last night we only filled up to the 11th spot and some of the usual racers were missed @sprintr64 @intoflatlines @SGETI and the birthday boy @Dragonwhisky.

@gtr3123 found a sweet spot with the Capp and got himself a pole and a win for round 1. Reverse grid of round 1 is where most of the passing was made for this combo; but not without some scratches to many doors; but everyone survived it.

Miss Elise made her second appearance now to Twin Ring Motegi RC; but still as temperamental as ever. @MartinJohn88 captured an impressive pole with Elise, but was not able to hold on to 1st as @gtr3123 made his move early in lap 1 and no one could stop him from there. I very innocently pushed Miss Elise to hard at the Ss and spun around and blow a nice 3rd place podium (Elise slapped me again!) However, on the reverse grid, I pampered her all around and gave me my 1st win in D3 since returning.

Combo 3 was probably the most exciting for the whole field. Lap 1 saw quite a mess after 130R and some wheels going wide and collecting a few as the dust and smoke arose. The reverse grid was as exciting as the first one and @Rednose58 took the win from the pole. Superb driving from @gtr3123 finishing 4th(?) and @motzkopf giving me quite the pressure for 3 laps.

Only 2 drivers suffered discos one returning on time and 1 missing qualy and 1 race :odd::rolleyes:. However, most of the night was Lag free and pretty smooth. Overall it was a great night for D3 The International Division :gtpflag:

Cat and Mouse Update!

Ok guys. Looking through the car list now. Here are the requirements for the cars to be used

Mouse:
  • Max PP: 280
  • Max Weight: 750kg
Cat:
  • Max PP: 455
Wild Cat:
  • Max PP: 560
All PP ratings are as seen in the dealership. Tires for the event are going to be RS. Tire wear, damage and penalties are all off. The event will start with a 1 lap race at a short track. This race will determine teams. Any odd driver out will be the Wild Cat. Tuning is prohibited. Laps will be such that the duration of the race will take roughly 10 minutes. We play till we are done.
The Rules: These are pretty simple. Smash, crash, defend your team to the finish line. The first team to get there mouse across the finish line wins. The only backwards driving allowed on the course is a cat to its mouse, or in the event a cat is pushing a mouse backwards. This means no starting the race and circling the track backwards. And I think that just about does it for those. Moving on.

Pro tips: Team work is essential, if you have a mic, use it. Defense can be as useful as offense. Team work is allowed across teams in the event there is more than 2 teams.

And the most important rule and tip I can give, have fun!!!! If this game doesn't make your face hurt as bad as your arms, you are doing it wrong.
 
Division 1 replay folder

May I ask for what reasons you are wanting these?

I think, if anyone wants to download any of the current replay files, from any division, they should be able to visit this post, click on Where do I find a replay of a race? and the entire Replay store will be open for anyone to download from whichever division they choose to. You may or may not have permissions to the archive folders in each Division's parent folder.

Perfect that's what I needed. I missed races yesterday so decided to maybe see if I can take a look how they went tonight. Thanks!
 
To be frank about these replays being shared. For anyone wishing to see how it's done in other divisions, by all means, go get those replays and have a look. Watching how other drivers do it, alien fast or not, will only make you a better driver. Practicing driving is one thing. Watching thousands of miles of tape is quite another.

I wanted to run Miatas tonight, but a concert has delayed me.

But Cat & Mouse.... Is awesome... In a totally humorous, over the top, not-typical-SNAIL kind of way.

There is clean racing, then there is the open lobby, then the Blues Brothers / Dukes of Hazard type of driving, then some more than bumpin' doors action like Mad Max after that... And down the road a bit yonder... Eventually.... You take a left at the second dead car, the Starliner, on yer right, and drive on 'til morning..or the hounds stop barking... And then, just mebbe.. you may be able to hear some Cat & Mouse, but only if you listen carefully between many laughs and the giggling curses of "You dirty rat!" "Rat? I'm a Cat, man!" Comments....

This ain't no normal SNAIL Racing, baby. It is Cat & Mouse, and it is a blast.

@Chiochan - Donde Estas?@diabolicwyvern - I would pretend to know the Cyborg code for Fun? But I do not have the requisite Hatcakes to access that data...
