Prize A

Circuit - Monza no chicanes

Car - RUF CTR2 '96 ( available in OCD )

Guess-timating D1 times of 1:40 or so. Very different feel on this track. Interesting.

 

[IceWarden]

CTR REALLY understeers...worse than a lot of FF cars. But the course suits it perfectly. You guys should have a good time. Wish I could be there!

F430, LFA would both be great at Indy. The LFA has never been run in SNAIL...might be a nice ride.

 

[Worst_Driver]

The LFA has never been run in SNAIL...might be a nice ride.

And it's one of the best sounding cars in the game too.

Nice shots, Harleyman!

Here are a couple for the new combo...

 

[zegrated]

Handle, that first shot is amazing

 

[qwietstorm]

I am a fan of currently not having penalties on in D1, just throwing this out there, anyone else think it might be a good idea to turn them on Sunday ONLY for Monza?

 

[Handlebar]

Thanks. I have a couple of others similar, but they didn't feel like they were from anywhere in particular, just sliding around on some track.

Maybe one at the last corner, I will check later.

At dentist for emergency root canal. :-(

What a nice picture!

We could split the field for qualifying and put drivers at the corners that can be cut and just watch the replays for the races. That would mitigate the need for the penalties.

 

[OwensRacing]

My Suggestion is :


1965 Alfa TZ2 @ Indy Road

Talk about some side x side racing action. This will bring it!!

Great idea!

 

[Handlebar]

Great idea!

No, it is not.

Just pactice...Stay on the course, avoid the 'annoying' penalties, etc, and do not volunteer numerous unpaid hours of several other folks time because it sounds fun.

Unless, of course, you will check out of bounds for all five divisions, and all drivers. If that is the case, then, go forth and enjoy.

I agree with you on both counts.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. The issue would be qualifying. It's easy for someone to gain a few tenths back by cutting a corner at Monza if the penalties are turned off. So his suggestion of watching the questionable corners is a great idea. Keeps everyone honest. Not to say that everyone is not honest to begin with, but if we have a full grid in D1 again this week I can see someone trying it.

I think it is Hooker.

I thought you were suggesting no penalties in all races.

For qualifying, that is fine if it can be coordinated.

If you see me on pole, you know I probably cheated.

Wednesday Night Series

S.N.A.I.L: Stamina Series (Endurance Racing)

Thanks Owens, I've updated the schedule. The thread looks good, but I didn't see where the races will take place. Did you want to run it in the Open Lobby like your Nurb series? Just not sure if you'd want randoms popping in and out during an endurance race. If you want, you can race in the SNAIL_Division3 lounge. Right now, only PCR is using that lounge and I've cleared inactives to make room for more. The SNAIL_Division2 lounge isn't really an option because it's a bit crowded (Open-Wheel, Oval, and S.P.E.C. all use that lounge). Another option is the SNAIL_Division4 lounge. There's plenty of room there since no other non-Sunday series or event has ever used it.

We currently run no penalties in all races in D1.

If you see me 2nd I probably cheated too! Lol.

Great shot, HarleyMan! It definitely worked!

I've added you to TEAM S.N.A.I.L. should you feel inclined to post more pics in the future (pretty please! )

Zero..
In serious need of your Thread Mastery... could not find my own post with the guide on how to post pictures to GTP. Can you work your magic?

Also, I found this thread that has a master of all the GT5 Colours.

That would be hooker4

Any SNAIL Division room would be fine. I don't have D4 on my friends. So D1-D3 would be good.

Which would you prefer be used?

GT6, December 6th.

I will have this for my birthday or die trying.
Still waiting for limited editions with limited content to hit the market before I pre-order.

You mean the "HOW TO OVERLOAD ZERO'S PHONE WITH PHOTO JOY" one?

Look at the bottom of the TEAM S.N.A.I.L. post and then click on "Photographer"

Excellent resource! Maybe Rally can link it to his color post?

With this is mind (I also have it pre-ordered) what will be the plan for Dec / January as far as formal racing.

We ought to be thinking ahead.... 3 months will pass by quickly.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I expect some kind of transitioning with the Sunday league night still using GT5 until a pre-determined level of members have bought and played GT6 and are ready to go online. I know I will not be running it online until I've gotten used to the new physics model. Hopefully it won't take long. Maybe GT6 could fill the Friday Night slot until we reach critical mass of GT5 dieing?

 

[zer05ive]

Any SNAIL Division room would be fine. I don't have D4 on my friends. So D1-D3 would be good.

Which would you prefer be used?

I suppose D3 would be best. There should be plenty of room to share with PCR as long as inactive drivers are cleared. D2 is a bit crowded and D1 is the designated practice room for the entire league.

I'll send you the D3 login credentials so that you can add new drivers who don't have access to D3.

 

[JLBowler]

I will have my copy day 1 and GT5 will most likely begin to collect dust on that same day. Dec. 6 is a Friday so probably not in time to get a full season on GT6 in December. Possibly some test races to play with room settings and learn the new features during the month of December and then a full schedule starting the first Sunday in Jan. 2014. New year, new game.
