◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Currently Recruiting for GT7 - JOIN TODAY!!Open

[Handlebar]

After school I am going to make an effort to practice.

If anyone who is good at coaching is available after 4:30 PM EST please let me know. Even if you are only "kinda good, I guess" it would still be helpful and appreciated.

Correction - 2 hour early dismissal, so more like... 2:30 pm. :-)

Yea Mopar is back! I hope Maddy is going to come back too!

One of my tips on getting quicker involves looking at replays of the faster racers. I use them to learn better lines, corner speeds, and good places to pass.

Good places to pass... autumn ring, in particular, has a couple corners where passing is too ambitious to be attempted with most racers. I know from personal experience... Zer05ive knows too

Congratulations maxim on D1Bronze.

👍

I'll have to redo my replays since I did them while the psn was down... so they're not identified to my GTP tag username ... I'll make the replays faster
Maybe I'll get D1 silver ?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I don't think it works that way Maxime. That is why the times are top secret. Otherwise people would just go back and try harder to achieve a quicker time.

 

[Luv2Coach]

What is everyone running on the autumn ring combo? Any better than 1:24?

Aliens (D1) are running 22s. I'm assuming 23ish in D2 (not fact) and D3 running 24s

I think they'll classify the entry as invalid. Upon verification, they'll see my offline name instead of the GTP tag name.
That's why I think I need to prepare new replays with at least the same time I did.

On my practice yesterday I was averaging low 2:24s with the occasional 1:23xx. I think my fastest was 1:23:4 but it was one of the laps where you've been practicing for so long you just zone out and when you see the time you have no clue how you did it. I hate those

"If everything is under control you are just not driving fast enough"

I think that's a bit far. I like to think if you aren't going faster than you were the lap before you're going to slow. Or if your butt isn't clinched the throttle isn't cinched.

I'd say that autumn ring is great for passing due to it's slow rythmn and lots of low speed corners and it's a wide track too.

But when it comes to Rome, we'll need to be very careful because passing spots are rare and fast pace of the track makes it hard but it's rewarding when you get it right though.

That and keep an eye out for those freaking marbles. As they say, when in Rome...

Everyone ready for some Friday Night Endurance at SPA...
Grab a high horsepower car and lets race..

 

[Rallywagon]

Hey SNAILS, you all have a great weekend. I will be enjoying some rally racing, as well as the return of Ken block too a full season with rally America! Be sure I'll be getting some video footage up on YouTube.

 

[qwietstorm]

All the more reason to slow the heck down on Wednesday. Although I did put qwietstorm in the wall at one point, but that's mostly because I'm crap.

I don't even remember that but if you say so. I know you're a good clean driver so if/when things like that happen, I take them with a grain of salt. I know it's not malicious.

I actually only remember 1 incident I was in all night and that was going into the tunnel on race 1 at GVE. I was on the outside of someone (honestly don't remember who it was) and got pushed into the tunnel entrance.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

ahh, yeah...that's the one.

Have some time today so off to practice some more H gate shifting for the endurance event. I need to work on reducing missed shifts and keeping the car on the track.

And, for those who don't own a wheel with that, we can go to one of the lounges at the same time and have our own Alfa race

 

[DJones]

Heading to d1 for a bit.

 

[qwietstorm]

That Alfa is pretty awesome. Handles very nice on non racing tires and it sounds good too.

Sounds like a blast! I hate to be that guy, but of the cars which one is a handful to drive? I like something that keeps you focused and on your toes, but I don't think I have the time to test them all for the criteria.

All of them except for the 787 and the Jag.

Thanks!

Edit. Just drove the Peugeot and loved it. Except when I finally put my foot down I felt like Hammond in a f1 car. I hit it and said "OHHHHH MYYYYY GOOOOOOOD" Because of snail I had completely forgot how insanely fast race cars are.

 

[Handlebar]

I have just started to watch this but must say it is brilliant. It is a real treat to watch Sir Patrick Stewart talk about and be with Sir Stirling Moss. Makes me realize that Racing Drivers of old were of a different breed than us mere mortals.

I am D1 for some practice if anyone is around. I have been watching this Stirling Moss doc and it is very nice!

I'm not sure if l will be able to make it tonight but can you list those cars? I'm not familiar with what car is in what class.

Absolutely!!!

The car is so fun and it really does well at Nurb.

I truly stink there but the time change and all makes it incredible.
