So we're gonna do the official practice rooms tonight? Sweet!

 

[FlipJ]

...must...resist....


And now for something completely different:

From 87 to 92, champions every year. That's domination!

Current F1 driver's dad Carlos Sainz, for those who don't know why Carlitos is a Jr., drove one:


And for those that like the sound, I've used part of this video to make my phone ring tone. Always guaranteed to scare people:

It's already been announced, how is everyone missing it?

Official, no. There are no official races on Sunday.

 

[FlipJ]

me trying hard...but I only see the car... where's the track? I do not see the usual Prize A selection is:

So no pictures for the choice (I'm away from home for a few days), but as my Prize A choice, we shall take the Lancia HF Integrale Rally Car '92 to the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza (80's version).

Monza?

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Monza 80s. It's two pages back now.

Prize C - Circuit de la Sarthe 2013

The Z has a new Track - looks like 2 laps.

Prize A is the '92 Lancia Integrale Rally Car (750,000 cr, 477 PP, 310 PP, SM Tires) at Monza '80's. Guessing 6 laps.

 

[CoachMK21]

Have a great long weekend everyone. If you need me to do something between now and Sunday night, you'll be best served to ask someone else. I'll be at Watkins Glen and will not be checking the thread often.

Before getting into the trailer

All set with tech!

Someone's ChumpCar budget is considerably larger than ours. That's our red trailer on the left.

 

[RobbiefromBC]

@CoachMK21 what do you expect? They run a PRO3 car, or the equivalent to it... I know a few guys who bought the old TRG Racing hauler off of the team afer they switched over to the Aston Martins... Still not as cool as our 53' hauler with 10 vees crammed inside

Combo Summary. Lets wait a bit before we finalize the Race Laps for the two new combo's

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Once again people are a bit rougher than usual on Thursday. But to be fair, I know most of the drivers are good drivers and it was on the two new combos. And they required a lot of learning. Steep learning curve when your first experience with the car is racing side by side against 10-15 other drivers. Hard to gauge everyone's experience and ability accordingly and quickly and not cause a collision. Things happened. Bad things. But it's okay. Keep practicing. We have an extra week this time.

 

[TomMang_68]

The grid for Sunday's Endurance Challenge is full. You can still sign up as a substitute driver in case someone on the list can't make it.

Rules and current grid

Will it be a requirement to use 1 of each tire compound or is it left up to driver choice SS vs SM

 

[MajorBlixem]

Will it be a requirement to use 1 of each tire compound or is it left up to driver choice SS vs SM

Mandatory tire change. You have to use both compounds. How long you want to use each compound is up to you, as long as you use both.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

@MajorBlixem I'd like to be a reserve driver for Sunday. I'll have to practice though to get used to the weight of the car

Prize C - Circuit de la Sarthe 2013

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I know there was a bit of discussion on lap count for this combo yesterday. There will be 3 laps for this combo. Qualifying will need to be reduced to 5 minutes to compensate for the slightly longer races. However, the shorter qualifying won't matter since there's only time for one flying lap either way.

 

[zer05ive]

Happy belated @Rednose58 day!!

(I actually just wanted to tag you in a post since I forgot to in the post above lol)

Hi SNAILssss. Just been with my brother all week end even on race night and he totally enjoyed watching the race. And he has been following SNAIL for a while but mentioned something to me that i found very interesting. I will let you all know before what the ''Enigmatic1'' HAS IN MIND lol. But to make it a succes i will need your help. All i need from you guys a pic/image of your driver in your chosen colour. a head shot and a full bodied shot. these pictures can be taken in ''travel mode' and any location.

After this reply to this message and add your picture so i can download it for what i have in mind.
NOTE: if you practice with me regularly during my mid week jams on thursdays /wednesdays or pre race night jams on saturdays then please endeavour you to do this for a better experience lol. please please i urge you to do this favour for me.

I would appreciate having all 3 images but for those SNAILs who think this is too much work and can not be bothered or think those of us that do these things have too much time on our hands ,no worries i understand, just a random snail trying to leave his mark .on snail trail no matter how insignificant it may look to the Giant Tortoise(turtle) lol.

I will have a short trailer soon so jump on the ORANGE WAGON and lets go lol.

P.S. IF YOU ARE READING THIS NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. LOAD UP GT6 GO TO ''PHOTO TRAVEL' , PICK A LOCATION FOLLOW SETTINGS AND SEND ME YOUR RACING SUITS AND HELMETS....

Ahh @TomMang_68 , thank you for sharing this video, but during that period of Rally World Championships I personally loved the Audi S1, amazing car with also an awesome sound and speed (Walter Röhrl said: with this car you can do everything, except driving straight ahead )



cheers

PS: @Wolfsatz "Vorsprung durch Technik" 👍

 

[Wolfsatz]

Ahh

PS: [USER=219339]@Wolfsatz "Vorsprung durch Technik" 👍[/USER]

Lancia was goo in the 70s and in the 90s. But Audi Ruled the 80s.

AMAZING stuff @Engmatic1 , at one time I was wondering what you'll design, awesome, gogogo, lol

cheers from Vienna

 

[Falango]

I like this idea even better @Engmatic1, but I think the text is still hard to read. I'd stick with a lighter color text over that background. The gradient to give it that chrome look makes it hard on the eyes. You could stick with the gradient though as well, but make the bottom color nothing darker than mid grey. It works ok with Desert and FlipJ in your example, but Tom and User are too dark.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

No gradient on the words and make the flags a bit brighter

Hmmm. I kinda see what you mean ....
