agreed. I never said contact was acceptable, i basically said its always going to happen.Not usually.
And contact is not acceptable in SNAIL as stated here:
I just watched RUSH last night for the first time. And you (and your ilk) sound like James Hunt while the rest of us are Niki Lauda
Ninja'd by Joby apparently
Yes, our logo will be on Nick's helmet for the duration of the season.
The one on the front page is the one we've had for a long time. The "new" logo has not been finalized or released yet, but it looks cool!!
Will this or any of the season be televised (online counts) somewhere? If so where?What's up guys?! Been missing racing with you all but as you know I've got some other racing to attend
Been in the UK for the last week doing some fitness training making sure we are good to go come Monza this weekend. Definitely excited and ready to do the real thing. None of this practice stuff lol. I'll be posting updates of the race weekend on my athlete page which you can click the link below for. I'll also be posting on twitter where you can follow @GumballCGT. Time to go kick some ass this weekend!
Lastly, I wanted to say you guys are absolutely awesome and I greatly appreciate all of your support!!! I was going to wait to post up a picture with the finalized deal we have going on but it looks like @zer05ive beat me to it! It's good to have a great group like everyone here behind me and I hope to make you proud. Another SNAIL can win GT Academy this year so you better make sure you're getting your practice on and not only on the game if you think you can make it to Silverstone. Hit the gym, do a track day, an auto x, or whatever you can do to prepare. I better see some of you this year going at it! I'm trying to make sure I can be around for each process it takes to get to win. I want to be there for everything if I can and play a part in helping choose the next NISMO athlete. If you guys have any questions about anything feel free to PM and I'll try to help you out. Good luck boys and thank you again!

It's my pleasure to announce SNAIL's sponsorship of Nick McMillen for his upcoming season in the
Blancpain Endurance Series!! As you guys probably know, Nick is the 2013 US GT Academy Champion and these upcoming races represent the next steps in his journey "from Virtual to Reality".. And since SNAIL represents the "Virtual" part of his journey, we think it's only fitting that we're there to support him in the "Reality" portion of his career as well. Sponsoring Nick will result in more exposure for the league and it'll be a lot of fun too.
For those of you that would like to participate, we've put together some sponsorship packages that will not only allow you support Nick's career and help promote SNAIL, but will also enable you to score some sweet SNAIL swag! Here's a list of the available sponsorship packages and the gifts you'll receive with each:
Platinum Sponsor ($150) - You will receive the Gold, Silver, and Bronze gifts, plus a SNAIL shirt (size XL) with our current logo, and a copy of GTPEDIA!
Gold Sponsor ($100) - You will receive the Silver and Bronze gifts, plus a shirt (any size) with the new SNAIL logo!
Silver Sponsor ($50) - You will receive the Bronze gift, plus a frameable print of Nick McMillen (and his race car) provided by the guys who manage GT Academy. The print will include our logo and will also be autographed with a personalized message from Nick!
Bronze Sponsor ($30) - You will receive a package of decals/stickers with the new SNAIL logo!
If you would to be an official sponsor of Nick, please reply to this post with the sponsorship package you would like. If we are able to exceed our fundraising goal, all of the extra proceeds will be used to buy things for Team SNAIL to bid on in the Marketplace. Thanks for your support!

I'm sorry but I race like I would in real life also. I would definitely be pissed off if someone gave my half million dollar ride a "bump" as you put it. I know that drivers racing in real life actually do not like to have their cars banged into all race long and crew chiefs especially don't like it.
Noone said bumping around all the time, but it is going to happen. You arent going to let off after a corner you were slightly faster on then the guy in front, when you got numerous guys directly behind you. Youre going to bump him. Your team could care less about a dent. Watch some v8 supercars
Thats only one of many types of bumps. The out of the corner acceleration bump is the most minor bump of all. Its the side bumps and braking bumps that cause the problems
Uh oh...now you've opened a can of worms
"
Fixed for ya. Aggressive != Dirty.
I offer proof using what I call Snail Math
Aggressive passer + Aggressive defender = Incident
Incident = Bad
Dirty * Aggressive = Bad
Incident = Dirty * Agressive
Aggressive(passer + defender) = Dirty * Aggressive
passer + defender = Dirty
on the flipside:
passer + defender = Clean
Aggressive(passer + defender) = Clean * Aggressive
Clean = -Dirty
Aggressive passer + Aggressive defender = -Dirty * Aggressive
Aggressive passer + Aggressive defender = -(Incident)
Pass = -Incident
Aggressive passer + Aggressive defender = Pass
In other words 1 + 1 = 5
