I'd like to remind everyone of something regarding text communications.

There's a language that isn't spoken and isn't affected by national barriers, which most people learn to interpret before they've said their first word. It is the language of facial expressions, body language and tone of voice. Emoticons help in this regard but are still limiting in conveying messages. While someone may be just poking fun at another, the tone of voice and body language cues are not and this renders that aspect of communication to be at the mercy of the reader's state of mind at the time they read it. Please keep that in mind when your fingers, or thumbs, are flying about your keyboards.

Prize A selection.

After a lot of thinking about what would make a good combo, I have decided to choose what I have wanted to do for quite a while now. I don't care if anyone else likes it and I don't care if it gets voted off. It's something I've wanted to run for a while now and I feel the car is a good match for the track. In addition, neither the car nor the track have ever been used in SNAIL. Passes will have to be set up properly and will probably take multiple corners to complete. That's OK though because we will be running north of 20 laps.

Without further ado, my prize A selection is:

Suzuki Cappucino (EA21R) '95 @ Gran Turismo Arena (Layout A)

Dealership PP - 339
Post oil change PP - 346
Post oil change HP - 66
Weight - 690 KG
Tires - Sport Hard

Once again. If you don't like it, I don't give a rat's hind parts. We will race it at least once and if you choose not to, you're not going to offend me one bit.

lol there seems to be a whole lot of hostility towards the vultures!

That should be quite interesting, I'm excited to try it out. I assume people may get lapped multiple times if they make mistakes, so that will make passing of backmarkers interesting!

lol sorry about last post any way

I'm hosting a increasing pp street car lobby starting pp is 475
room I'd is 1472 4711 0617 3380 7068 if anyone wants to join

Reverse has a better rhythm in my opinion but both directions are a lot of fun!

Attaboy fearless leader...I love the hesitancy and insecurity in your voice....your prize your choice ...I love it...last time I raced in the arena was with mini trucks...awesome fun.

I personally have no names on my screen at all during race night. In practice rooms I DO want to know who is who so I can know instantly if I should let a super fast guy go by. It does neither of us any good for me to be in the way. However, in a race, I do not care who is in front or behind me. At any given time I'm either on the offense or the defense and I'm going to either as smart and as fast as my ability allows.

See I believe if they are faster and have to pass me out of the racing line then they are learning how to pass in crummy spots. Which always come in handy on race day.Plus it teaches them patience for race day so that if they are extremely good on a particular track and blow away the competition on race 1 then on race 2 when they have to pass everybody they are comfortable outside of the racing line and learning where to break in the crummy spots for the passing opportunity

 

[Falango]

@JLBowler I must have read your mind yesterday! I was doing data and at the main GT screen the demo started running, and it was the Cappuccino @ GT Arena and I thought, that could be a fun combo! Looking forward to this one. Great pick!

I'm assuming you're responding to my statement concerning letting real fast guys go by during practice?

The thing is... when they're racing, they're not racing somebody who's 2 seconds slower and running a lap deviation nearly as inconsistent. A D1 guy will almost NEVER pass another D1 guy in or out of a corner in the same manner they would pass me. A D1 driver is so much faster than me that they could legitimately pass me running an outside line that has no more than 5 feet in common with their normal line within the content of the actual corner. That's just not a good representation of how they would get by somebody on race day. That's more akin to pulling into the fast lane on the highway and tapping the + on you're cruise control twice.

trying to find SNAIL Roster im drawing a blank.
Edit I found IT.

 

[CoachMK21]

And here are a few pictures for @GamingPete to consider for a banner. Well, don't consider the last one

The first picture is at the start, notice all the wheel spin?

 

[JLBowler]

@Lessen and @Die_Birdy_Die

It comes down to this. When a much faster guy comes up behind you, do you want to make his life difficult while you focus all your energy on keeping him behind you or do you want to let him go around and focus all your energy on trying to keep up and learn something from the faster guy?

I know my answer and it's not to try and make the other guy's life difficult.

First post. Link at bottom called official driver's list or link in my signature to the FUD. Still have to scroll down the page from that link to find the FUD. I know how to fix it, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Agreed. When I'm in a practice room with somebody like Russ, he's not gonna learn anything from me or in the attempt to get around me. At that level, that's a skill they've got in the bank I think.

yeah I don't go for the block, but yeah I will try to stay in front of them cause I get better from pressure not from following

I couldn't agree more!!!
Funny how technology has shrunk the world we live in...but it is still not without it's limitations.

PM me, or update the 1st post (or in D7's case, the 2nd post) in the divisional PM.

 

[Schmiggz]

OK, J. Not a word if I like your combo or not, just a question... Did you do some laps with more people on track? If so, did you manage to pass anyone?
It's the most obvious one and done I can remember.

 

[Lessen]

There's room to pass at GTA when driving small cars. The track has the width, it's the racing line that's narrow. Oh.... good fun to come...

Bowler. Very nice choice. This is going to be interesting, but the only thing better I can think of would be a Subaru on a rally course.
