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

[Gr8_Lakes]

I'll step to be interim practice coordinator until @Wolfsatz comes back.

Are we revamping the practice system as was discussed last week? Or will we have Red, Blue, and Yellow rooms?

Ahh man... a TOPP. What a waste.

 

[USERID_77a23]

Practice has been scheduled as usual. The division rooms will be posted soon

 

[GTP_Vertigo]

Are we revamping the practice system blah

 

[USERID_77a23]

Yes!

There will be 4 practice rooms.

D1-D2
D3-D4
D5-D6
D7-D8

There will be plenty of room for everyone to join in on practice. Instead of running it like a league night,we are going to split races up into shorter races. That way no time is wasted in qualifying. Just racing. Should keep things smoother with time to work on passing and driving around those with similar speeds.

Practice has been discussed in the practice conversation . There will be blue , red and yellow until further notice

Topic: First "wheeled" object you fell in love with


Mine was a Big Wheel. I had several of these and always wore out the front tire with a flat spot. They make new ones that have rotating rear wheels that "drift", but I always loved mine.

I believe it was one of these... but it was all yellow. I didn't use it how it was designed at all, I rode it down the hill by my house (on the road) when I was 3-5 or so, until the plastic wheels broke. I would probably get up to 15mph or so, and I probably still have some of the scars on my knees.

Driving Force GT users, what settings do you use?

Power-Assisted Steering: Off
Force Feedback Max. Torque: 7
Force Feedback Sensitivity: 10

I find FFS can't be less than 10 or there's too big of a dead zone. PAS is off because realism and FFMT is at 7 because 10 just makes it too hard to turn the wheel in tight turns and you can't get around quickly enough. Thoughts?

Red room imploded.

Whoa, that was weird. Everyone was driving in the dirt right before it crashed.

That's what I saw in my rearview. I wonder if I appeared to be in the dirt too?

Funny! I've played Dirt and Dirt two and never noticed you in either of them

 

[JLBowler]

you ever go to tracks out there in cali. Like chico that's a sticky fast track only gets faster when the night goes on. A guy here in my town is from Australia and he has raced all over the country. More wing sprints here in ohio

We have been to Chico but only a handful of times. If there is a dirt track in California that holds races for full bodied cars, there is a very good chance that I have been there either as a driver or spectator.

Code word for Yellow Room:
"Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!"

Great practice tonight! Thanks for hosting @TEX36 ... always enjoy your hosting sir.

Banners look great @Rednose58, but I'm not really a fan of the track going through the 2nd car on the Lotus / GVS banner. Any chance you have another pic that doesn't do this?


These banners have been tweeted!

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Perhaps all that needs to happen there is the track is rotated about 110 degrees CCW?

 

[Gr8_Lakes]

You think women should be standing on their heads? Don't they do enough for us already?

 

[DCschwinn]

So who won throwback Thursday??

 

[CoachMK21]

If anyone cares, 2015 North American GT Academy Champ, Nic Hammann is in the car at the moment at the 24 hour of Dubai. Live video is on their website and 3 cameras on Nissan's GT Academy YouTube page (I can't link to the YT page).


EDIT
And now he's out. A fairly short stint.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Fromt he first episode I knew he was gonna win. He showed all the necessary skills beyond driving skills and then he also had driving skills.

 

[turnupdaheat]

So who won throwback Thursday??

Nostalgia was the winner on the day.

 

[CoachMK21]

Anyone know who it works for racing in the Am class? Maybe they have to have at least half the drivers be "Am"? Rob Barff is racing in the Am class in a 458 Italia. He has the best in class lap of 2:04.037. Rob is,of course, one of the GT Academy instructors / judges.
