TBT
My mom actually got me into racing and motor sports in general! She would put on NASCAR every Sunday and fall asleep during every race (waking up for the crashes or if someone tried to change the channel) So I either had to go play or watch the race so I would watch the race.
The other thing that got me into racing was monster trucks! Going to the babysitters every morning and watching monster jam before school while her children got ready. Man i miss speed and monster jam.

I remember monster trucks! I saw them live a lot as a id but the stadium by me wasn't very big so they couldn't do very much like they do now.

@Die_Birdy_Die Fully enjoyed the Replacement Sunday Night Endurance Races - run on Wednesday night. (Sunday night's room crashed 4 times). Thank you for putting it together. Hope you do it again.
Regardless of HP, PP or Class .......... the addition of Heavy Damage brought "Consequence for Mistake/Error" into the race. It certainly made me more cautious - and, in my case, increased the level of personal satisfaction when a race was run without incident.
"Heavy Damage, Consequence for Improper Actions/Decisions" ....... something to consider in future series. If we are going to simulate the real world of racing, why not add the "real world consequences" to our races? Might be tough sledding at first, but expect it would make all of us better drivers.

The second that online racing doesn't have lag issues I would be on board with the heavy damage. Until then, the lag incidents are enough that there is no need to make them have more of an effect on the racing.
The lag doesn't even take into consideration that the damage model is almost as bad as the penalty model. Sometimes one car is damaged, sometimes no car is damaged, sometimes both cars are damaged, and sometimes only the innocent bystander's car is damaged. It's a flawed feature at best and we just got rid of one flawed feature (penalties) so why bring in another one?

I'm up for another one if any one has any suggestions for cars, track, distance, date (as the next non snail race day is memorial day weekend) or even look a putting together a series all together I really liked the vette/viper combo that was interesting! any thoughts suggestion I can start compiling a list and putting something together!

Stick with the heavy damage setting. It's way more fun and rewarding as Tex said. I've run in other series and races and never see issues that would stop me from running with that setting. I hope to be able to race next time with you

As a one off event, choose any supercar, lets say 600pp max, set fuel use to fast, and pick a track to race at. No pitting, winner is the one that can go the furthest before running out of fuel within a given time frame. Should you go fast and get ahead of the pack, or should you draft and not battle for position? Winner picks next course. They can be quicker 15-20 minute races, depending on fuel use.

Monaco with heavy damage that doesn't sound good! I like it.
But we would need narrow cars maybe the rocket? hmmm

Yep, exactly. Stowe Circuit, Silverstone National, or HSR would be good.

High Speed Ring is stupid. All sweepers. How about Deep Forest Reverse. Has a very fast rhythm.

The elevation changes there could make it interesting. HSR would be good because it brings in the drafting element that would be important for a race like this.

Thats true. Either way, we could agree on a course to start at, and the winner can pick the next.

I'm like the fool in the middle of the bridge, here!!!
Project cars is coming out soon so I need the ps4 for it but my G27 is 3 months old and buying PS 4, game and new wheel is out of the question... At least to my wife! Then I also like i-racing and wanna do it but I don't own a enough GB computer so all I see is billions of dollars in my head and I'm getting virtually depressed!
I think the solution will be forgetting the ps4 for now hoping GT7 won't come out any time soon and buy a powerful PC tower for i-racing and buy the windown 8 version of project cars. With this option I'll keep using my G27 for a lot longer.

I wonder if we could run like one race with trucks only. I know their are only a few trucks in GT6 but it could be interesting to run with them. Stock power, wheels, choose our own colors to the trucks and just an oil change. Maybe run at Willow track, Matterhorn, Trial Mountain with the trucks. Then another race in the same night could be lightweight cars like the Rocket and run them at short tracks like Eigar.

I like that too would need some testing as the trucks are quite equal(well were in gt5). As for the rocket race I was expanding on lessons idea for Monaco. I like the Monaco track idea (Monaco is so technical) but I would want to be able to get side by side action on it.

For you guys wondering about logitech wheel use with GT7 on PS4, I came across this awhile back on neogaf:
This guy met up with Kaz at the last SEMA event in one of the booths. Kaz claimed the current logitech wheels will work with GT7. Scroll down about halfway and read the post#7878 from user seattle:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=725281&page=158
I have to believe that the success of GT7 heavily depends on the huge install base of logitech wheels being usable.

We could try a BRZ, FR-S, 86GT showdown just for fun... Grand Valley speedway is a great course for these cars
As for the TBT, I was quite literally born into the sport, (First time I went to the track I was two weeks old). My Grandfather raced at Westwood with my uncle alongside folks like Paul Newman, Kees Nierop, and Gilles Villenueve. Greg Moore chose the path of open wheel racing because he grew up watching my uncle and grandfather duke it out back in the day. Racing is truly in my blood, and words can't express how thankful I am for that.

I can go one better than two weeks old. I was born Feb. 25 and was at the track for opening night on Mar. 6. Being that it was a leap year, I was 10 days old at my first race. I was exposed to race gas and the smell of burning rubber sooner than that in the race shop out behind the house. I spent a couple of nights a week, 8 months of the year at a racetrack for most of my life.

2nd gen RX-7. Small, well balanced, not too fast. With open tune, we can better manage the gearing to better suit Cote. Maybe allow a bit more HP? If you're interested in testing some stuff for a 60 min Monaco race I'd be down to assist.

@RichyBugs
Here's your official SNAIL 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.

Wait... People believe what Kaz says? Vaporware is easy to sell if all you do have to do is claim something, collect $$, then make claims what you may do next generation for more $$$. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Let's see what he does... Not at Nurb, or in a press conference, or shilling for $$$, but on actual delivery.
