The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Alpine A110 1600S '72 (Sports: Hard) at Deep Forest Raceway / Forward (7 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @JLBowler wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Lancia DELTA HF Integrale Rally Car '92 (Sports: Medium) at Autodromo Nazionale Monza '80s (6 laps)
"This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @chatva gets Prize B, he has the option to freeze the car or the track, or he can give that option to the Prize C winner. If he gives the freeze away, then he gets to decide what car or track replaces the part of the combo that is left unfrozen by the Prize C winner. IMPORTANT NOTE: Since @chatva has already made a Prize B car/track selection this season, his only option is to use the Prize C ""freeze"" for this prize.
"

Prize C goes to @cmbeal317 so he gets whichever option the Prize B winner does not select.

Preliminary prize winners, please don't announce your prize selection until all incident reports have been filed and it has been confirmed that you don't have any penalties. It's also recommended that you review the SNAIL combo history and other data on our car and track history so that you can get an idea how many times we've raced each car and track. Please remember that originality is always appreciated,so picking cars and tracks that we've never raced is a plus (but not required). What's more importantis that you thoroughly test any combo that you are considering before making it your official selection. For example, no car you select should not hit its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in the draft).

IMPORTANT: When posting your Prize A or Prize B selection, please list the complete in-game name of the car and/or track you are selecting. For example, if you want to select the Amuse Superlegara for your car, post "Amuse Nismo 380 RS Superlagara". If you want to select Monza for a track, post "Autodromo Nazionale Monza". This makes it much easier for the lineup to be updated accurately and also prevents confusing other league members as to which car or track you are selecting. Also, please be sure to list the PP and HP (after oil change) of any car you select.

Car Selection Guidelines
Dealership Cars - The maximum price for a selected car is now $1,000,000
DLC Cars - Only DLC cars that are FREE and currently still available in the PlayStation Store can be selected.

Track Selection Guidelines
Any non-DLC track can be selected as long as a single lap with the car combo'd with it would not take more than five minutes to complete. For example, don't select anything that includes the Nurburgring's Nordschleife.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Too many votes for Combo 1!! There were supposed to be just enough so we change the track but keep with the car. You ruined everything!

 

[Handlebar]

I didn't see any instructions from last week

Good luck.

Please have a website literate friend help. Point them towards the "Inbox" feature and they can get you sorted out.

Ray - you *can* do this.

I believe you can, I sincerely hope you find a way to read the messages replying to you that give you what you ask for.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I'm glad you guys are here to help him. I have a zero tolerance policy towards stupidity in all it's forms. Whether it be straight up dumb, a lack of critical thinking skills or an inability to problem-solve.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

So with less then 5hr 30mins most of d1 and other snails will be working there butts off in hopes in making the top 20 cut for nationals.

Id like to give everyone in snail a huge go kick butt and never give up anything can happen.

If you were to ask me when I started gran Turismo if I thought I could make national finals I'd say no, but I told my self I wasn't going to give up and I was going to give it my all and that's all you can do now look at me now.

don't worry if some of you don't make the cut this years there's always nexts year

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Separate post because totally different topic.

When deciding new division placement for me, please keep in mind that my low score for this season/month was due to an inability to race at Spa-Francorchamps. Just saying.

I'll never get there. I don't have enough experience in real cars, never driven manual, and not even close to D1 times. They know where to find time where I'm probably afraid of crashing and don't push as hard. Good on you guys, I hope you get to Silverstone!

 

[Handlebar]

I have a zero tolerance policy towards ... an inability to problem-solve.

May you never complain about a zero tolerance policy being applied.

I don't have enough experience in real cars, never driven manual...

So... Learn, or... Not.

Ignorance is not always a choice. If you could choose to learn... Do it.

A) Choose to learn, or B) ask for help and try to use what you are told, or c) ignore information given to you or made available to you and choose be ignorant - and not tolerated by your own personally defined view.

I urge you to reconsider your boundaries or definitions, or else you may become a hypocrite under your own definition.

So, you are personally choosing to not solve a known problem (manual) ... And criticizing others for making a personal choice about what technology *they* can learn...

Are you running for office? Son, you may have a future in politics.

Heaven help the rest of us.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

*sigh*

Unfortunately it's just not in the cards for me, talking about the car stuff. The stupidity thing I just took too far. I don't mean that literally.

 

[singlepaddy]

This is my first foray into video. If you can spare 3 mins check it out, hopefully you'll like it.
Congrats to @chatva @DesertPenguin09 @Tangled_Up @ExoSphere64 @brian540 and @TEX36



Big thanks to my wife or else I would have no clue how to do this.

 

[Handlebar]

*sigh*

A). Nut up and fix what was wrong, in your view.

B). Or just be wrong, apologize, and do nothing to bring a change in your actions or words that you recognize may be warranted.

I think 'standardized tests' can get some things right.

D4 data entered. I will post the scoring summary later in the week when I get home from my business trip.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Lancia DELTA HF Integrale Rally Car '92 (Sports: Medium) at Autodromo Nazionale Monza '80s (6 laps)

I hope they keep monza and bring out a nice race car for it!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Considering the rule that we stick to racing under 12 minutes, what is your preferred amount of laps to fit into that amount of time? Higher or lower? 4? 6? 10?

I've been enjoying the races with 5-6 laps more than the ones with 7 or more. And definitely more than anything with 3 or less. It's enough to get into a groove and work on an opponent but not so long that you get bored if there's not much racing around you. Instead it just becomes a personal practice session.

 

[McTrucker]

Congratulations @JLBowler @chatva - @cmbeal317

I loved le man that track was so long that even though it went over the 12 minute mark it was still great racing!

D7 Data is entered.

 

[JLBowler]

Congratulations @JLBowler @chatva - @cmbeal317

Don't congratulate me. That should go for @TomMang_68 as he and I tied for the night and I'm probably going to pick up a penalty so he will end up with Prize A.

 

[CoachMK21]

To anyone who said Circuit de la Sarthe can get a cookie. Good luck everyone!

HAILING ALL SNAILS
wOW What a Sunday night it was . D6 was like never before. I personally loved the difficulty the combos brought to the table and for us D6'ers it was challenging but definitely left us with a smile on our faces, I by no means speak for every one but I have a feeling that was the general consensus. Going into the last Combo 6pts separated 6 drivers and it all hinged on the last combo the dreaded but enjoyable sarthe.

I knew I was in the run for overall night win. I was doing well in 3rd going into the second lap in C3 R1 and after the straight at the end of the second chicane I my left rear touched the grass as I was lining up for the break zone and the right turn and before i could say snap crackle and pop I was spinning straight into the 'beachy sands of Dover' The sand pit had me bogged and by the time I rejoined I was in last place, I still pushed on and managed to gain 2 places
On that note here is a project i have been working on my daily commutes. I hope you like and enjoy I LIKE THE MUSIC EVEN THOUGH HIS PERCENTAGES SEEMED TO NOT ADD UP HEHEHE.. To
my Orange Mangoes still working on our highlight video.

 

[Engmatic1]

This is my first foray into video. If you can spare 3 mins check it out, hopefully you'll like it.
Congrats to @chatva @DesertPenguin09 @Tangled_Up @ExoSphere64 @brian540 and @TEX36



Big thanks to my wife or else I would have no clue how to do this.

I am enjoying this new infusion of ideas and creativity guys. KEEP EM COMING, ROCK STEAAAADY

 

[Handlebar]

Nice video, @Engmatic1 - I told you guys that I forgot how to stay on the track last Sunday.

Sorry to @JamCar0ne for collecting him at the bottom of the hill after I went wide into the hill and ping-ponged back out onto the track.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Race Date: 31 May 2015
Currently tracking 2 Incident Reports​

We have at least one prize winner with a racing incident being investigated by the stewards. This may, obviously, change the order of the prizes to be selected. All winners are asked to refrain from making selections until the Weekly Steward's report has been posted.

The target deadline for the Steward Reviews, this week, is Wednesday night by 10PM Eastern. The Steward Summary will be posted as soon as possible, following completion of reviews.

:@: SNAIL Stewards, please make your way to The Incident Review Scoring.​

The IR Submission Form is now closed.​

Looks like Round 3 from Sunday was some prep for GTA Round 4. Curious that.
