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

[Whitey093]

I've decided to freeze the track. Indy Road is a great wide track that promotes clean racing and has plenty of passing zones. I feel like this track creates alot of exciting drama of back and forth battles and gives more people a chance to win. You can get lucky and draft past at the stripe if you can stay near the front to the end.

Now it's up to @turnupdaheat to pick a car t hat matches the track well and creates a great combo.

haha I felt the sarcasm, but for real why would they destroy like 15 GTR's trying to make a movie. Might as well make a clone.

They made these because R34s were and are illegal to be driven on the road in the US and it was needed for the shots that weren't CGI. Basically just a moving prop.

...and not to mention that there are still not enough buttons and switches to account for all of Project Cars' ridiculous setting.

LOL the camera he took the picture with just alone probably cost more.

I have never driven this car in GT5 or GT6. It looks cool though, like a budget supercar designed by Gordon Murray or something. But what's that piece over the rear deck that sticks up? It's not flush with the rest of the car. Aerodynamics?

I think it's a hump to make room for engine they shoved into that thing. It's fast and it handles very well in my experience with it.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I'm about to step in it for the first time but with a controller. If it's easy to handle here then it'll be a joy with the wheel. That was a nice drive.

This forum has the rest of the guy's pictures so you can see the "hump" a bit better...

Anyway, in GT4 it handled a lot like the Elise...

I'd guess it's for cooling but I have no idea lol.

PRIZE A ANNOUNCEMENT
Autumn Ring Mini, 40 second lap time
RUF CTR "Yellow Bird" '87
534pp, 485 HP, SS, 1150 kg
I love a challenge as in IIITrick"s combo 3 last week. Please, please, please practice because sliding is slow. I already hear the comments. "This will be the fastest one & done ever." "What the 🤬 were you thinking?" "This is a steward's nightmare".As I said, I love the challenge of controlling the uncontrollable. That's the part of racing that I lIke most. I've waited patiently about a year to win prize A with this baby. I hesitated, gave some other cars [& karts] a try but in the end, decided to go with my heart. Embrace. Enjoy. God bless. Oh, and I get an "O" for originality, right? Please don't answer! And most certainly, please don't hate me.

 

[JLBowler]

All combos chosen by Tuesday night. Good work gentlemen.

Urge to post rising... rising... fading...

Who cares what they say, it's your pick.
And this thing about "one and done" doesn't mean anything...some of my favorite combos only stuck around for one week...there are a lot of reasons why combos get voted off and in my opinion, it is not a direct reflection on the quality of the choice.

View media item 2534

The Time Trials for this week's 2 new combos are LIVE!

So, get your practice in early...you'll need it! (Or not, you know, depending on who you are...and...oh just forget it...practice if you want, they are there.)
