Sounds familiar...

...Classy nonetheless. Yours will be matte though.

Im going for a darker rim too, but, well, the name says it all. Dearborn huh? Good to run into another Michigander. I grew up in Novi and Waterford, keep moving west for some reason though. I currently live in Howell, but looking at moving to Lansing before long. Do you disc?

You wouldn't believe how many people ask me that but actually I never have. I have a couple friends that do but I have never gotten into it. I was actually raised in northern Indiana but I got a job at Ford out of school and had to move to Dearborn.

 

[Rallywagon]

Oh, I see. Well, better Indy then Ohio. How about SCCA Solo II? You actually live not to far from a great race track. Google Waterford hill.

That looks like a lot of fun. I think next year I might try to find time for it. Maybe my Cobra needs beat on a little...

Well, after last week's action packed complaint window, this week felt like a breeze. Only Divisions 1 and 5 were represented, so thanks for the clean driving in 2, 3 and 4!

Division 1

fiestauk / SPEED14231234

• Level 1 - 4 points and one week probation

hillracing

• Level 1 - 2 points and one week probation

tensor120

• Level 2 - 5 points
• Level 5 - 17 points
• Total - 22 points doubled to 44 due to probation. Six weeks of probation remain

Division 5

dangerzone641

• Level 1 - 4 points
• Level 2 - 5 points
• Total - 9 points and three weeks probation

iroquois / iroquois--

• Level 1 - 3 points doubled to 6 due to probation. Three weeks of probation remain

jfin

• Multiple penalties of various levels. Disqualification of all points. Driver must improve racecraft to continue with S.N.A.I.L. Six weeks probation

sunnypuff

• Level 3 - 10 points and three weeks probation

zeromisfit999 / lifesagamble420

• Level 1 - 3 points and 1 week probation

These penalties have resulted in some repositioning in the final placement from Sunday night. The results of which can be seen here.

Specifically, in Division 5, the penalty against iroquois-- brought him into a tie with THRASH_46, who won the tiebreaker due to having three first place finishes in the night. THRASH, then picked up Prize C. Congratulations!

Have a good night.

***If you were penalized and would like further explanation regarding the incident, just PM your Division Steward and they will let you know what the stewards saw and our opinions on it.***

Maybe people should start a league called GT5 Formula 1(not using F1 cars) for all the people with steering wheels coming up with these ideas to make their steering wheels and pedals easier to use

👍 I litterally "lol"ed at that

👍 I litterally "lol"ed at that

Im glad you liked it

Surprised no one has called me dumb for it. Whats wrong with everyone?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I didn't get it. Sorry.

 

[IceWarden]

So officially what is the new car for next week?

 

[DJones]

I would like to claim passion pink riding on an undecided rim color. I'll pick the rim color tomorow, but trust me when I say you'll be able to recognize me at a glance.

Stewards, thanks for taking the time review this weeks racing complaints. I've updated Sunday's results post based on your findings.

 

[zer05ive]

Imma choose the DB9 to replace the Mclaren.

Aston Martin it is ^^

For the SNAILs that have been around for a while, I told everyone a while back what I would do if I got to choose the car and track. I will not go back on my word so my selection for car and track combo is:

Corvette Z06 C5 ('04) @ Motegi Superspeedway

Let the complaining begin but before you complain about oval racing requiring no skill, you must explain why not one single driver was able to pass me (and make it stick for more than 100 ft.) when we ran at Indy Superspeedway.

Although the Prize A and Prize B selections were made slightly early again this week, the penalties applied earlier tonight didn't change the results of the elimination vote.

Therefore, I've gone ahead and posted the September 16th lineup!

Hi guys I would love to join looks like a good laugh

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Can someone explain in detail how to check BB on replays? I have tried a number of times using the buttons mapped on the G27 as well as the controller but can't get the BB to show up.

Please enlighten me with BB?

If you're actually where your profile says you are, you're GMT and we start at 22:00 Eastern. Are you ready to race from 3 until 5 AM?

BB = Brake Balance

Using the DFGT you just push the same multifunction rotary button that you do when checking/changing the BB during a race.

For some reason the menu only seems to come up sometimes in the replay. It seems that it only works after some distance into the race, but I've never looked at the specifics of when or why because I've never cared to know.

That would be dedication right there.

Where you can change what functions the buttons do in the options menu, you know how it has a function(+) and a function(-) I tried setting it up on my controller but when i pressed + or - it didn't do anything that I know of. Nothing popped up. Are those for brake balance? And how do I get it to work? Do you really have to wait for a certain amount of time?

 

[Rallywagon]

You can't just map the + & -. You gotta be sure the add the menu button too I believe. As well as the up and down. At least on the g27. Not sure about the controller or dfgt.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Yeah, I've tried half dozen times and waited several laps into the race. I can pull up the R/A menu on my G27 in a race but it's not working for me during replays. I must be doing something wrong. I even programmed a controller to bring up the R/A menu but can't access it during replays.

I think this might help:


Also, I'm updating my paint colors. Matte Light Silver/Matte Dark Silver. Thanks to JLBowler and Spooble for sending me copies of the light silver!
