Thanks kcheeb. As for practice tonight, can someone break in a dodge for me before practice tonight? I'm at work so I will not have the chance. I'll gift whoever does it a car ticket, or a birthday ticket depending on what I have. If I'm not already friends with the person ill be on around 930

Will you be up late? I am going to try to do some practicing tonight.

Yeah I'll be up late. Gonna do the full practice, and then some. Performance was under par, taking a break from drawing naked people and mixing paints (illustration major ughhhh), gonna spend tonight honing in the dodge as I struggle with that car completely. The other two I'm pretty confident minus turn one at monza. Still haven't found a braking point that works every lap. Also curious to see if tire wear is different.

 

[tezgm99]

Would it make sense to put a limit on 2 FR combos at a time, and the other can be either MR, FF, AWD? If the non-FR is votes off it must be replaced with another non-FR.

Personally, I'd rather see three different drivetrains each week.

If complainers did more winning than complaining we'd have no more complaining

I agree with this to an extent, but then that takes away the winners freedom to choose whichever car they would like. Say prize a was a ff but the winner had been waiting to choose his favorite rr car. Think that could lead to disappoint. Unless we implemented a winner getting to pick a drive train that runs for a given time and a car. Like every month the winner of any division with the most accumulated points selects drivetrain a for that month. Runner up chooses drivetrain b and so on. I feel like we've got a pretty good thing going on right now though. I just enjoy throwing my ideas to the table.

I ran the db9 last night and did 8 laps (plus an out lap) before I noticed any tire wear I like how the races seemed to just start to suffer tier wear if you were over aggressive and sliding a lot. Now it looks like that will not be an issue I will look for you when I hop on.

But then the people that were winning would ...

That's the thing when you get a large group of people together, doing something they really like. There are a lot of opinion's and we encourage the voicing of same 👍

For the most part we do a good job of discussing

Not bashing you or your jibe Joe, just thought I'd throw one of the things I like about S.N.A.I.L. out there.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

SNAILS are always winning.

Used to have that as my avatar

Bahaha. Idk why that was so amusing to me. PS if you guys would like me to throw together some T-shirt design concepts I can probably get some solid looking graphics around December when I finish up for the semester. PM if you are interested and we can discuss some ideas. I'd love to contribute to something positive.

I love the ideas that get thrown around. But simplicity seems to work best. Perhaps we should do a Drivetrain night.

Can someone on my friend list do me a favour and send me a broken in Dodge for tonight? I'm hoping to make it for practice . I'll be sure to return the favour next week!

@ zeromisfit - I found it amusing in that it was a turtle vs snail thing.

I did as well, and i would happily send you a car if I wasn't in the exact same boat haha

It's all in fun. I have all these kick butt track/car combos in my head but I can't stay on the track long enough to win a race

And so I must continue to dream

Never a doubt, I just have these moments ...

No doubt you'll be there. All that's left is consistency 👍

There's always the power of suggestion. Try it.

 

[OUTLAW---666]

btw, just though about something ...
can someone reject being promoted ? I'm not in any risk of it, but is the option available ?

 

[IceWarden]

On that note I gotta plug D2 for being a really solid group of clean and respectful drivers. I trust all of them in bumper to bumper or fender to fender action. Who would want to leave that?

So true. When I first got back into SNAIL I was disapointed to be back in D2 after being in D1 for so long. Now, especially with the way prizes work, I don't want to leave!

Yeah, I dont think I could back a drivetrain restriction here. besides the fact that in the game, RWD vastly out numbers FWD and AWD by a significant amount, it takes away from the winners as well. They won, they pick, we deal. Hence racing the tesla for a second time.

Eff the tesla for the record haha

From playing grand tourism 05 I just realized that my car is out of alignment lol

Real life sucks

Sorry to hear that, but glad you let us know 👍

There's always Standard Car Thursdays, Friday Night Enduro and Saturdays S.P.E.C. racing.

Wow, you can do a lot here

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Practicing in D2 lounge or someone posting an online room?

 

[Chiochan]

Are we practicing in an open lobby or a Division room?

Point taken. I'm just finding it to be reaching the stage of 'predictable'....and that isn't really making it very exciting
