Yes, start filling the pig for PS4 at least! We all know that's what GT7 will be on. As for Project CARS, that's purely up to you. What I can tell you is from the hour or so I've put into the game tonight, is that I don't think it'll ever be a suitable platform for SNAIL [Spec] Racing. There simply isn't a way to prohibit tuning in any way that I can tell. That fact, plus the fact that there are far fewer cars just don't fit this particular series. Project CARS is more ideal for class-based racing (with tuning) that features a full season of races using the same car(s). Basically, it's the opposite of what our Sunday series is all about lol

I think this boils down to what we've already discussed. It's a different game, so it requires a different approach. I don't think variety is necessary the building block of SNAIL. Yes, the variety in GT6 is fantastic, but that's not really why most of us show up on Sunday. As I've stated previously, PCars is a different game with a different angle so it will have a slightly different fan base. What I do know is that SNAIL is comprised of some really fantastic comradery and good ole fashioned sportsmanship. That alone can take us anywhere.

Another reason why SNAIL in my humble opinion is ''one of the best organised'' leagues. inverted commas because it's the only league i have enjoyed and for that my opinion mght be biased lol. but I am sure there are many here who like me have played every edition that cam out even the cencept version- yes i am gulty of not being able to wait for the full edition - so for a nostalgic trip down gt memory lane here's an 18 minute video (hahaha i know it is long, watch what you can but i bet you will end up watching it all if you are not interupted just like i did)
.well on nthat bomb shell I will be back later for mid week jam right now off to enjoy the lovely sun with the girls after i get them from school and take them to the park to whoop their asses in basketball hahahah. daddy has to win

Well, I have been in the market to upgrade to a better sim wheel, but with the price of the T300rs going through the roof since PCars launched and rumors that Logitech could be included later on, I decided to pull the trigger on a G27 for $238 shipped before that price climbs if PS4 compatability becomes available. I hope I made the right gamble. Either way, it's an upgrade for the time being.

cheers buddy :cheers:
 
Id like to get in on this if at all possible.

I spent years racing on gt5 through to 6 with my good old dfgt, but hadn't really had the time to play for ages.

I'm sure I could commit to this so if some kind soul could point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.

Hopefully see some of you on track soon.

Thanks.

Here's your official SNAIL 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 SNAIL 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 start a conversation and add @CoachMK21, @Dragonwhisky, @JLBowler, @nmcp1 & @zer05ive as participants. The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing club. Sunday races are organized exclusively through the GT6 Community features within the game.

3. 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.
4. 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.

Great to see you getting online for same races.
The only downside is that we don't do the Nordschleife, but the fun is never ending.
 
Well I hit my goal for round 2
I put in 3 stints for a total time of around 6-7 hours

Currently 2nd USA with time of
1:21.981 could see a .7/.8 if I kept trying going to save my self for nexts to rounds
Great job dgaf! I could never hot lap for that long , I might put in 2 or three 30min stints per round. After 30-40min I have to find someone to race with. TTs are not really my thing
 
Now it's Combo 2 for D7

Yep, that's me. That visor isn't properly in place, though. That carbon fiber rear view is neat.

And if Doom had a green helmet, we could be opposites!

...be sure @dgaf95integra that all the guys of D8 keep fingers crossed, me personally the toes too lol, being proud a SNAILER made it, see banner (copyright @pubason and @cliff eden )
Would be great that you'll join a D7 practice room and tell something to someone of us, respect man for your performance :cheers:

I could lend a hand helping out the higher division guys I used to do that a few months back its good felling running fast laps for my self but I get the same good felling when I see a higher division driver run faster lap just off my help and coaching alone

When ever you guys are in a room and want or need some help figure ping out a combo either tag me here on the main thread or send me a pm and I'll do my best to hop on when you guys are on :)
 
These past few weeks i havnt been on as much cause I've been busting my ballz working out 3 times a day to prep if I make it to racecamp so when I'm done with my work outs I'm so drained and want to just chill but I don't mind hoping on a few times threw out the week to help you higher division guys out so just reach out and ask and I'll do my best to get online

Yea everyone that has project cars add me :the2armedmen

Is there a separate forum for a snail project cars league or does that need to be started?
We should probably do a little research into room setup, etc before launching all of that. I'm sure @zer05ive has something planned already.
We're still planning our Project CARS series at the moment. I can't tell you exactly when it/they will be launched, but definitely in the works (and will have new threads once they go live) :)
