Thanks for some great racing tonight:)

I blame this for my poor performance:)

Slightly outdated in that it only has 13 bottles. Now has 20:)

And me at the local Scottish Store contemplating spending more money than I should

Picked up a nice bottle for the Fiance's parents, Macallan 1824 collection with fruit and spice. Have you tried this one and if so how did it compare?
 
Nice selection! I can see that Caol Ila 18 sticking out the side over there. I love that stuff.

I wish we had a shop like that around here. Omaha does boast a bar with the most Scotch selections in this hemisphere (or some other superlative). Here's their menu (PDF)
 
I was excited about tonight...

Unfortunately I will not now be able to make it to the races tonight as we are having friends over for a BBQ:(

Best of luck to everyone:)
 
I was excited until I found out all the guys I raced close with last week haved moved to a new room.

Gotta admit I did a few laps the other night in the McLaren (having never driven it) and I am not a fan. The Concept 86 is a good drive and the NSX is nice as well. But the McLaren is just not alot of fun to drive.

I hope to not crash tonight...that's my goal ;)
 
I'm stoked. I've got the 86 powered up and good to go. I'm betting the bucks on tsukuba tonight. The other races, whatever happens, happens.
 
I'm excited too, looking forward to getting some practice in today and ripping it up tonight :embarrassed:

On a side note, I was sending the race reminder out and sethfraz22 and wrxsilver can't receive anymore messages. If you can free up some space, I'd be more than happy to re-spam you ;)

P.S. If you're unsure how to clear out your mailbox, zer05ive should be able to provide you with the steps :lol:

EDIT:

There's a few people that weren't there last week that will be there this week ;)

If they really are "friends", they won't mind watching you race while chomping down on some 'que.
 
I am looking forward to the first two combos, and dreading the carnage and teeth gnashing in the last one.

My goal is to finish before the time runs out.

Hey guys, how to watch recorded video of the league like yesterday i want to see.

If you did, in fact, save the replay after the race, you can watch it through the GT replay theater. The icon is with that batch that leads to cars, drivers, and items. Third one down on left side I think.
 
Just a reminder about some racing rules for tonight. We will be running Monza with it's lovely chicanes in a car that needs excessive braking.

Please remember that the green pavement outside the rumble strips is not part of the track. You must keep at least two wheels on the rumble strips or inside the white lines at all times.

If you are unfortunate enough to get a penalty, please remember that you must safely pull out of the racing line while ghosted and not up to speed. You are not allowed to drive in the racing line while ghosted and not up to speed and force other cars to avoid you.
 
It looks like I won't be able to make it tonight. I may also be out for a couple of months as I may be racing in another series at the same time, plus I'm looking at getting into iRacing also at some point soon. Probably best if you move me to an 'Associate SNAIL'.

Thanks for all the hard work and organization here guys, I had a lot of fun and I credit everyone here for that. Keep up the great work! :)

I think you will do well at iRacing. I tried it for a while and I really enjoyed the oval racing aspect of it. I never did really give the road course part a try though.

You will find yourself trying really hard to avoid everyone as any little bit of contact weather or not it's your fault, will cause your safety rating to drop.
 
I like the McLaren at Monza. It's just enough on the edge that it gets my palms sweating but it's far from an unfair struggle. Great stuff.

HigherPlace - Most people just run the Laguna enduro. 200 miles is all you need to break in a car.
 
EDIT:



There's a few people that weren't there last week that will be there this week ;)

Yeah...but I was comfortable racing wheel to wheel with Vail and Jazz. With Kronin also.

I must say I'm baffled about certain promotions due to "good racing". Especially considering some of the racing I witnessed last week. But hey...I'm need to only concern myself with myself and let the head cheeses make the really tough calls ;)

Killing time, my friend.

Friends yes:) Wife...

I might try to do one or two races if they want to see how it is done:)
 
Just got a PSN Message and this sounds fun and I would like to join. Could be ready by tonight...

Hey AMWeaver47,

Welcome to S.N.A.I.L. :) If you can get me the Time Trial time before 6:00 PM today, we should be able to get you racing tonight 👍

We run a clean league by enforcing the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and we expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide.
Please become versed in both.

Follow These Steps:
1. I add you to the drivers list as a New S.N.A.I.L. (Done)
2. You run the Time Trial.
3. You Private Message my GTPlanet account with your time from the time trial (no Sunday racing until this is completed).
4. I assign you to the appropriate Division, to give you the best racing possible.
5. A PSN friend request will be sent from the appropriate SNAIL_Division1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 account. That is where you race on Sunday night.
6. You drive fast and clean on Sunday :)

The original post has a lot of information regarding the league, commit it to memory ;)

The second post has the current race lineup and is updated weekly.

If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, post your choices in this thread.
To avoid duplication, the currently claimed combinations can be found here.

During the week we run a number of different events feel free to jump in and partake!

Welcome aboard and enjoy :)

Hey RIP_Welsh_Don,

I must say I'm saddened for S.N.A.I.L. thanks for your positive attitude and excellent racecraft 👍

If you find you're not having the 'S.N.A.I.L. experience' in iRacing or the other series, you're welcome here anytime :)

Cheers and thanks,

Hi I'm zxxCOUNT210xxz and I just joined Div.5. One of tonights tracks is listed as:Tsukuba w/motorcycle chicane, pardon my ignorance, but is this a different track than the one I have in GT5.

No. On the track thats in GT5(the one you have), after the second U type turn, you know, there's the right handed kink type turn. When you exit that turn, on the right there is some track. Thats the "motorcycle chicane"
