Division 1
  1. Timlour ----------- voted to eliminate Round 2 - 94 (94.00 for Prize A) SEE NOTE BELOW
  2. Nic-KL ------------ voted to eliminate Round 1 - 87 (87.00 for Prize B)
  3. Xrad-11 ----------- voted to eliminate Round 3 - 83 (83.00 for Prize C)
  4. Kgffty ------------ voted to eliminate Round 3
  5. JamCar0ne --------- voted to eliminate Round 1
  6. RacingChamp30 ----- voted to eliminate Round 2
  7. Flyingdisc315 ----- voted to eliminate Round 3
  8. Dragonwhisky ------ voted to eliminate Round 1
  9. Canoworms1 -------- voted to eliminate Round 3
  10. Gurney_67 --------- voted to eliminate Round 1
  11. TokenTimmy -------- voted to eliminate Round 3
  12. Unsteddie --------- voted to eliminate Round 1
  13. Drummmer1979 ------ did not submit a vote
The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren '09 (RH) at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya No Chicane - S02 Late Morning (8 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @Timlour wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.
PLEASE NOTE: Since @Timlour has already won Prize A this season, he is ineligible to win it again until next season. This means that unless he loses Prize A due to incident reviews, any driver who competed on Sunday night will have the opportunity to suggest an entirely new car and track combo. I recommend that all drivers from Sunday night start TESTING combos they would like to suggest. That way, you will be ready to post a good combo when @JLBowler gives the "all clear". It's important to mention that a good combo will not have a car that hits its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in a draft). Also, please be sure to only suggest one combo. Any driver who suggests more than one combo will automatically be ineligible to suggest any combos at all. Please don't let that happen to you. Only suggest ONE combo (but not until @Timlour is confirmed as the Prize A winner).

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Chevrolet Corvette (C1) '58 (SH) at Circuit de Sainte-Croix C - S03 Night (3 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @Nicktune 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.

Prize C goes to @Xradkins 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/or tracks that we've never raced is a plus (but not required). What's more important is that you thoroughly test any combo that you are considering before making it your official selection. For example, any car you select must not hit its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in a 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 choose the Integra Type R as your car selection, post "Honda Integra Type R (DC2) '98". If you want to select Monza for your track, post "Autodromo Nazionale Monza". Being specific helps us to update the lineup accurately and also helps avoid any confusion among the drivers. Also, please be sure to list the HP and Weight (LBS) of any car you select. For track selections, include the time of day (e.g: 09:00 Clear) or else it will be left to default.

Car Selection Guidelines
See Section 3 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

Track Selection Guidelines
See Section 3.1 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

I can’t find the time to practice and being 5-9 seconds off race leaders pace is a demoralizing.

@Skills I think your issue is perspective. I never think I will be on pace with top to mid D1, 2-3 seconds off a lap is cause for celebration. lol
I am taking the opportunity I have to learn from them and better my times and my driving style. I do have a group I am very competitive with in here (D1.5 in da house!) and I use those drivers to judge my Sunday performance.
I do believe that there are 4-5 drivers currently racing that you would be competitive with, Just judge yourself against them for a more accurate account of your performance.
If you want I can help you condense your practice time to get more out of less driving. It would be great to see you on the track more.

@JLBowler try the conversation thing again. And am I really the prize A winner?

I can certainly help. Been super busy lately it's sort of scramble season with the real race car, but I am on periodically still and can try and take some time and see what may be of help for you. Feel free to reach me on here or on psn.

I sent you a friend request a long time ago. Can you accept please?

@Bigbuck

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join SNAIL Racing League:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You start a conversation and add zer05ive, JLBowler, nmcp1, SAMHAIN85, llNovall & Akzl298
as participants.

The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing.

3. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below.
4. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL
