I think I may be able to race tonight. Trying to get GT6 patched now and then see if I can get the cars ready. Does GT6 still have break-in?

No break in required. Change the oil and go!

Well, this is unfortunate. Lost 1 phase of power coming into my house. Thankfully the ps3 is unaffected by the half power outage. The broken power line is sitting in my neighbors yard, under some of their tree. But, unfortunately, the cable line suffered a complete defeat further down the road, where most of a tree took that out. Oh, and part of my fence is also under a large portion of a large branch. The ice have us what for last night, and they are calling for more today/tonight. Better get some aspec time in before we completely lose power...

I told Zer0 and kcheeb already, but unlike this situation... we didn't get ice in Wisconsin, we got tons of snow... and I happen to be a ski resort employee. Instead of racing with you guys, there is a good chance I'll end up on a 7 hour shift out grooming terrain today. Obviously everyone wants to make their first race, however our torrential snowstorm didn't have that in mind for me. I'll try my best to make it happens, but real life might be calling me for the first time in a while.

Rally, good luck with that ice... even on our Milwaukee newscast, they were talking about how hectic it is over in Mich.

I was wondering with GT6. Do you have to drive a vehicle certain amount of miles in order to get the correct horsepower and performance points like in GT5 or is the vehicle already broken in once the oil is changed?

 

[ATLskydiver]

There is break NO in period in GT6 as far as anyone can tell.

hehe, whoops.

You meant No Break In Period right? Seems all we need to do is buy it, change the oil and race.

Do people not read the thread?

 

[Troggy]

To be honest Owens, a 1300 page thread can be slightly intimidating. I can imagine it feels like finding a needle in a haystack looking for stuff. With all the new found popularity, have you guys considered moving to a location that is a little more SNAIL centric/organized?

Not that this isn't organized, what you guys do with this forum post incredible. But it does limit you.

While this would be a valid if the answer wasn't given in the post at the top of this exact page.

Not to mention there is a search thread function too.

The thread moves fast. Requires taking the time to read.

Important Announcement Part II

S.N.A.I.L. Division Restructuring is now complete.

You can find out where you landed in the Drivers List.

I've done my best to keep things as level as I can, in terms of numbers of drivers per division.
However, this new division layout is very dependent on most drivers showing up to race.
We need you on the grid tonight!

As to who got moved to where, I didn't have a whole lot of data to go by, so I held my finger to the wind in some cases.
We can and will adjust next week if something is awry.
Your patience and understanding is appreciated.

I'll have the results doc and directors docs updated after I get some lunch.

​

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

We are having power and internet issues today due to the ice storm. Hopefully things are back up by the time I get home tonight.

 

[Handlebar]

Fyi - there have been many changes lately, so if something initially reads contradictory for the moment, follow the Division Heading you are under for placement tonight.

Fixed the contradictions, sorry about that chief!!!

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Grr.. while I like the change, it is inconvenient. I must get the A license before I can race tonight.

Grr.. while I like the change, it is inconvenient. I must get the A license before I can race tonight.

I think I found it was between 20-30 minutes total from first FIT race to finishing the last A License?

Not much more than that, including the races to open the A License. Races are usually 3-5 minutes, tops.

 

[DriftinAssassin]

I managed to stay in D4? Oh well, can't complain!

-Attention All D2 Racers-​

Because of the expansion to five divisions tonight, there will be some movement of drivers. Some will stay where they're at and some not. With that being said, I want to make sure that everyone that will be racing in D2 tonight, is aware the we will be in a 'friends only' room. That means you will need to be friends with the host, tcrash15. I would also ask you to send fastfox400 a friend request, as he is the back up host and will enter the room after me, so in case I loss my connection, he will be able to take over and no one gets dumped.

So, please keep your eye on the thread for kcheeb's'new driver list announcement and if you are racing in D2 please send your friend request's ASAP if you are not currently friends with tcrash15 or fastfox400 so we can accept them for you to race. Please don not enter the room until you see tcrash15 and fastfox400 names 1st and 2nd. Once you see the post on the thread that D2 is open, you will be clear to enter the room by checking your 'friends only' box and enter through there. There will be no room number posted, so get those friend requests sent.

Speaking for all Race Directors, we ask for your patience while we set up each round and race to the correct settings to make your race enjoyable.

EDIT: NEW DRIVERS LIST-Click here to see what division you will be racing tonight.​

Sorry but I have not been keeping up with the thread lately. I raced in several events in GT5 and would like to race with you all tonight. What is the procedure for entering into the GT6 events and being placed into a division?

There is a new Time Trial - and you need your A License. Look back on this page or the preceding one for one of the Intro Posts from Skills. #41826 has it... Run the TT, send it to kcheeb, the usual.

Good to see you back.

After the Redskins / Cowboys wraps up, I will also be sending out PSN Friend info, but I think we may be running on Open to test connectivity, @cmbeal317 and I have not discussed it yet.

I live just south of lansing. I was driving around our neighborhood. We have a lot of trees. Old trees. Every 30 seconds or so you can hear another branch fall. Most if the lines have brand on them as it is. All the weight from the ice, and now the heavy snow thats going to be starting shortly. I don't expect to have power for much longer.

 

[Handlebar]

Good luck, Rally. Don't drive under any of those trees, man!

No real point in having him run the TT to be placed. I assure you Brando belongs in D1.

 

[chatva]

Man! It's been weeks since I've gotten a personalized PM from kcheeb on a Sunday morning telling me exactly where I can Go come race time!

Our house waved power good-bye about three hours ago... and I am in my fantasy football superbowl. I feel ya.

I don't need a PM to tell you where to GO

No you don't, I can read your mind!

 

[ExoSphere64]

I think I am finally caught up.

Division 3 data and replays have been sorted.

Due to some malfunction on my part, D3 is missing data and the replay for round 1, race 2.

I know where Brandofo will end up for sure, Division 1. It's always good to have more time trials though. It won't stop Brandofo from racing tonight if he doesn't have time. But, I would appreciate it if you could run one for us 👍
