D1 scores, data, votes and replays done.
@Xradkins You were on fire tonight !
@A_Higher_Place Awesome last race, it was fun fighting with you. Well deserved win ! You kept me away from my first perfect 100 points night
@DublDee Thanks for the replays, greatly appreciated.

On another note, is there a merge of division in the cards for next season ? Its been a very low participation month in D1, well ever since we splitted the divisions.

Doubtful. I expect, with the influx of new drivers to D2, which is where every new driver has been placed since the expansion, I think, there will be some drivers moving around for the March season when P&R gets done later this week.

The short answer is no. The short reason is simple math.

[TokenTimmy]

Great photos and what a night of racing !!

 

[TokenTimmy]

My GT7 replay data is full does someone have a replay of race 6 in D2 last night I can watch. I believe there was possibly a incident. Thank you

 

[Chiochansan]

are you friends with racing champ? He uploaded all of them.

 

[Worst_Driver]

Some photos from D1. I still prefer the old Grand Valley surrondings but man that scenery is beautiful especially at sunset. Great track to race on as well.

 

[Buffalo_DRD]

Even this guy had to put down his camera to take in the beautiful scenery.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Honda S2000 '99 (SM) at Nurburgring Grand Prix Track - S01 Late Morning (6 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @Gurney67 wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - BMW M3 '89 (SH) at Grand Valley Highway 1 - S16 Sunset (7 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @Xradkins 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 @CdnSweetTee 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.

Thanks for the prize!

For Prize 'B', I select to FREEZE the CAR. Happy hunting @CdnSweetTee for another great track. Highway 1 will be missed. Great combo, IMO.

+1, wonderful combo. Grand Valley is one of my favorite and it was fun to throw the M3 around on SH tires. Well balanced car.

Since Xrad froze the car from the UCD and I think I picked it, and it's not in the UCD now, the backup will be the BMW Z8 '01. I bought it used a few months ago but I may buy another and sell the one with all that not mine mileage. @CdnSweetTee

@JLBowler would you verify I'm doing this as per regs. Thanks.

@Dragonwhisky , you are correct but I was going to offer @Xradkins the chance to change his mind since he is essentially freezing a car and then someone else is getting to pick another car as the back up car.

If @Xradkins doesn't want to change his selection to freeze the car, then we will go with @Dragonwhisky choice of a back up car and insert it into the lineup as the M3 is not currently available.

Talking about having the rug pulled from under ya. LOL. Go with the backup. I want to try the BMW Z8 '01., too.

It should be alright on SM. Last time we ran it it was on SS.

 

[CdnSweetTee]

Track selection will be Blue Moon Infield A
Approx lap times are 1:27 in the M3

M3 won't be used Tee. It'll be the '01 Z8.

 

[CdnSweetTee]

Ok I’ll stick with Blue Moon A and I’ll try to get lap times for the Z8 tonight

 

[Xradkins]

NO! Last time I looked (last night) the PP for the Z is over 550. So if the new tire spec is in play, than this street car uses SS tires.

However, I may have seen the PP over 550 because i was already on SS tires. Back to the drawing board I guess.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning March 2024 season, the new tire formula will be as follows:​

GT7 Tire Formula
Group	Snail Tires	GT7 Price Cap
Gr.1	RS	2,000,000
Gr.2	RM
Gr.3	RM
Gr.4	RH
Gr.B	RH
VGT	RH
Other	RH
PP	Snail Tires
0.00	450.00	SH
450.01	550.00	SM
550.01	900.00	SS

2 new groups will be added, "VGT" cars, and "Other" for racing cars that don't fall under a specific group already. For the time being, both will be set to RH.

NEW TIRE Chart

 

[Worst_Driver]

Its sitting at 534 pp in the SNAIL file and is on SM tires (thank god, SS tires are still unrealistic and closer to GT Sport’s RH anyway)
We raced it a few months ago at Watkins Glen and it feels much better now on SM.

 

[CANOWORMS1]

I'm not as fast as @Worst_Driver at publishing, but here's some D2 photos.
Edit: I'll have to not take all my shots on lap one of the second race. I'll see if I can spread the photos around a bit.

EvoSpec gives a start lesson to D2

Mainly a scenery shot, but Token Timmy got in the way. 😁

Altogether now. Take the wide line.

Still amazed by the reflection in Token's car on the right.

So far so good.

I should have kept my mouth shut. But you should at least try it, its very manageable.

@CANOWORMS1 I really like your second photo at GVH and the rest of them as well. Honestly, its harder to take a bad photo than a good one at that track.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I have reviewed 3 incidents.

Time to watch some Resident Alien.
