The DB can play the ball all he wants but he is still not allowed to go through the receiver to get to the ball. I don't believe there was a PI call the entire game and that really isn't the call that was all that bad of the two on the play. PI was close and in real time at speed, that could go either way. The defensive holding was a lot worse than a defensive holding that was called earlier in the game. That's the one the bugs me as an official. You have to be consistent in the calls that you're going to make or not make over the course of a game.

@Jayc2k
Here's your official SNAIL RE-Welcome Post! 
Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join:
We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:
1. You start a conversation and add @CoachMK21, @Dragonwhisky, @JLBowler, @nmcp1 & @zer05ive as participants. The conversation title should be "Request To Join".
2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing club. Sunday races are organized exclusively through the GT6 Community features within the game.
3. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below.
4. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍
Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread. If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.
During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL

There are two more videos....neither of this wonderful ilk. The first is the 1st NISMO LMP Driver ( Spaniard Mac Gene ) talking about the car. The third is a " spacey ad" with satellites and whiz bang...not so good. All at NISMOTV at you tube. The "great" add reminded me of the book " The art of racing in the rain", which Patrick Demsey's development company holds the movie rights. Its a dog story....with the master being a journey man racer. Very good read.

I just found my copy...which has been loaned by SWMBO to all her freinds with the proviso " it's a Racing story with a dog or a dog story with a racer....don't worry about the racing...you'll love it all the same."
Think its a good "project for today"....I rarely re-read books...I'll make and exception this time.

Long time no see everyone, been nearly a year since I logged on the playstation let alone the forum. I'm not back yet, but I've got command over the living room tonight and feel the need to play. I can't remember the last time I played a gt game, but it would be nice to see if any old friends want to mess around a little bit and catch up.
Although I'll probably be R only one catching up. I barely had much experience with gt6 before I had to quit and I don't want to think about how much more I've fallen off...
I'll be downloading an update of awful proportions and hopping online as soon as I can. Hopefully I remember how to hook up my headset lol
Edit. Oh my lord it's a 12 gig download.... I hope by some miracle this happens tonight.
Edit2. At this rate it's going to take ten hours. This is mildly infuriating. It'll be worth it though. Just wish I could play something else while I wait.

It was Browner on the other receiver that was supposed to be running a deeper slant or dig route that would have legally screened Butler from the play and made it an easy throw and catch for a TD.

I still prefer This:
Did a little research. The car is Porsche 917 chassis # 16 Driven by Pedro Rodriguez and Leo Kinnunen in the 1970 BOAC 1000 Kms at Brands Hatch. The corner is Druids...it rained and snowed all race. Pedro won by 5 laps.

Turn the system off by unplugging it and do the File restore when it asks you to when it powers back up.

Hmmm. That's weird. I don't have any suggestions unfortunately.
I was recently having a problem in which my screen would randomly go black for about a second. I put my PS3 back on the flat instead of standing up. I don't think it's happened since. Totally unrelated, just thought I'd share.

Well, my T300RS came in early! Thank you Fry's! I've spent a good part of the day driving with it, just did the GT86 TT with it and matched my best time I set with my G27.
I really like the wheel base itself. It feels stronger than the G27 (I turned FFB down from 8/9 where I had it on the G27 to 6/8 and I like it there quite a lot) and slightly more precise, but where it really shines is in dynamic range in it's response. Meaning, now the differences between the different kinds of feedback the car gives you are more obvious. A push in the front, or shifting too much weight, or the outside front tire not wanting to grip when you're trail braking too aggressively are more easily separated feelings with the T300RS than with the G27. The stronger motor seems to be the reason for this. It has more "headroom" so a strong signal feels strong and a weak FFB signal feels weak, where with the G27 the difference between the two are less obvious. It also can countersteer itself much more quickly which can take some getting used to if you are doing something where you would let the wheel slip through your hands like drifting or rally, but allows you to do it much more easily once you get used to it. I did not find that the wheel fights me when making very fast corrections, either. It is stronger but not overdamped like I have heard about the T500.
Those are easily the best things about the wheel.
However, I noticed some bad things as well. For one, if you've ever felt the hum or slight vibration of an electric motor that is struggling but not moving (like if you managed to get a drill bit stuck and the drill doesn't have enough power to back it out), the T300RS seems to have a little bit of that feeling coming through the wheel during times when the steering is at it's heaviest, turning the FFB up to 10 made this not just a felt vibration but an audible sound as well. (As well as making the steering way too heavy to be usable for anything.) I'm not sure if this vibration/sound is normal for the wheel or not since I haven't heard about this anywhere else, but with the FFB at a reasonable level it's not too annoying. Hopefully the motor lasts at least as long as the ones in the G27 have (2+ years and going strong).
The worst thing though, obviously.
The Pedals... The brake is possibly around as firm as a stock G27 pedal but not nearly as firm as my G27 Pedals with the GTEye spring mod, but if it was just a softer pedal I wouldn't mind them too much at all. Unfortunately, the pedals have a MASSIVE dead zone. When driving the Lotus Elan at Autumn Ring and trying to trail brake gently, as I roll off the brake pedal to what I feel like is half way, I realize that I'm no longer on the brake at all! Or even worse, some times I go to touch the brake lightly for weight shift or to scrub off some speed I didn't mean to carry, I'll hit the brake but it doesn't even register because I didn't push the pedal down far enough. The resistance of the pedal when you push it down starts a full 1/4 of the travel BEFORE the pedal actually starts sending a signal! I can't wait to get an adaptor so I can use my G27 Pedals again... However, for many people these pedals will be okay for 90% of situations, they just lack the responsiveness to be really competitive.
That's all I've got for now, folks!

I don't know if he found a solution, but @GGGMotorsport had the same problem recently. Maybe he knows what to do?

The Subaru combo is horrid. Don't people test these things?

My guess is they do... But don't always have a solid understanding of what makes a good combo a good combo. I would not want to pick a car to match a track. I don't think I'd want to choose anything to be honest.

Thank you for the well written, very informative impression. This is the type of feedback that helps me make decisions before spending money. 👍

Near impossible to pick a "good" combo. Everyone has different likes and dislikes for races and theres someone always b:censored:ing. Car doesnt redline on a straight so he did enough testing for me. (Even if we ran it not too long ago
