Is any one interested in doing a division based endro? It would be set up so that each team of 3 would have to have a high medium and low division drivers. Thinking 6 hours straight or something. Just an idea for Saturday or just once a month

 

[DesertPenguin09]

6 hours is a bit much. I would love something around 40 minutes. At one point I considered making a series of my own but it takes up a lot of time. I wanted something on Racing Hards on Normal tire wear but no pit stops. So roughly 40 minute races. It sounds like a great idea. Push constantly try for overtakes or hold off a bit and keep something in reserves for the end of the race.

It would be 2 hour stints how the "teams" splits up the stints would be up to them but only 1 driver could be on track at a time the "teams" would discuss the strategy they want to use but in a 6 hour race it would be 2 hours per driver.

I'd be down for some endurance. Tire wear ? Pits ? no doubt. I've often wanted to endurance a "survivor combo of the week" type race. For instance this weeks race would be Alpine ;Deep Forest, on a Tuesday for 60 min ...er something...

I like the survivor of the week idea. But also want the divisional staggering so that even though a D1 is racing a D7 the D7 can still stand on the podium with his "team" kind of like the new ROC that was discussed but everyone's in the same car and teamed up with "stronger" and "weaker" drivers!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

So like you race 20 minutes, your two team mates are entered in the race, just stay in the pits. When you pit, you stay and they exit, taking your place?

I don't like the way GTP does the really long endurance races with timing and in practice mode. It's too confusing for me.

Have you ever watched the GTP endurance series? they are run during practice mode teams of 3 or 4 drivers (I'm not sure) a grid of I think it's 10 teams are on track stewards are in the room (don't think we would go that far) when it's time for your stint you enter the room wait for your teammate to hit their pit box then exit the pits I don't have all the details ironed out but just throwing out an idea I want to be apart of.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

If it's all in practice mode does the Driver's list then become meaningless? I get how it works now. I too would like to be a part of it

I would believe so as different drivers would come in on different laps.

Think we could get a big enough field if you have to have 3 drivers per team from across the board? What about 2 drivers per team? Teams could be D1+D7 driver, or D2+D6, D3+D5, or 2 D4 drivers. I think it would be easier to get more cars on track with 2 drivers.

That's an idea too. Like I said just throwing out an idea.

Who ever came up with the spoiler button to hide divisional pictures - genius.

Should be mandatory to post all bulk pictures (more than 5) within a spoiler bar.

SEE YOU ALL NEXT SUNDAY.

Gotta say it again... 14(ish) on the grid and six different race winners... Pretty damn cool!!

It takes a huge amount of work to get (and keep) a division as level as possible and to have this kind of racing just shows how well the SNAIL machine works. Thanks guys!

 

[Gr8_Lakes]

We have our second local event this coming Sunday! It's at Delphi Corporation. Maybe @TomMang_68 and / or @flesxruoyxllik will be there and we can meet up?

And just because I'm pumped to get back to autocrossing, here is my first event from about a month ago.

Does this mean you're headed up to Michigan? Delphi's headquarters is not too far away from me. I'd probably make a trip down to watch.

I choose to freeze the car chatva your up

 

[Engmatic1]

WOW d6 was such a blast on sunday can not WAAAAit for this week end lol.
Any ways every driver was fighting for position even the gap was 2 secs or more.
On that BOMB Shell Enjoy Fellsas and to all d6 SNAILs great job, great atmosphere, great racing in all d6=great fun
TADDAHH

 

[FlipJ]

That's an idea too. Like I said just throwing out an idea.

I like this idea, I like it a lot. And in a three driver team, a few hours worth of racing would be very cool.
If it happens, I'm in.

 

[turnupdaheat]

D2 Data is in.

An enjoyable night's racing was had despite the fact we only had a small field of 7 turn up on the night. It appears Mammys wouldn't let some of the boys out to play!

Congrats to @MSgtGunny for the win on the night. 3 race wins helped him on his way to his first overall win since joining SNAIL with more to come I'm sure.

The "Could'a been a Contender" Award goes to our resident (and prolific) photographer, @Gouletzky. He missed the first 2 races but then proceeded to place 2nd in each of the remaining 4 races (which also won him the "Always the Bridesmaid" Award) and posted the fastest lap in 3 of those 4 races. 👍

Six of the seven who raced on the night placed on the podium and the only one who didn't posted 2 of the night's fastest laps so honours all round!

Many (or maybe I should say major) thanks to @MajorBlixem for providing me with the tools to produce the nice layout above.

great idea, i miss our endurance days with sinna @STEAMER62 and others. they weren't as long as 2hrs each bt 30 mins with tyre and fuel set at fast , but i totally agree with this idea of teams of mixed div Snails pitted against each other. will give guys like me a chance to race someone from div 2/1 and trully compare the racecraft of my div which in my opinion is ''great'', to other divs.
