Bummer. Thankfully all are well.

Monaco GP.. incredible race!

A quick update. We are out of the race. Our first driver, my cousin JC, hit a patch of oil or antifreeze going into the ankle of the boot and spun and hit the wall pretty hard on the driver's side, then the car rebounded off the tire wall and rolled.

He's fine. The safety of the car, the roll cage and the seat did their job. But the car is done for now. Sheared off the engine mounts and broke the distributor. Replaced the distributor so it starts and runs fine, but a lot of damage on the driver's side, some on the roof and the right front tire/tie rod is not good.

Day 3 is upon us at Watkins Glen. Today we have a 6 hour event and I'll be driving the final 1:15 or so.

On both Friday and Saturday we finished 3rd in class out of 13 cars and 30th and 27th overall, respectively out of 81 total cars.

It took me a few laps to get a good rhythm on Friday, but I soon started running some fast and consistent laps in our Volvo. I had the best lap time on our team, 2:34.328. Last fall my best lap was 2:37, I think. Our A/F ratio was on the rich side, 9.8-10.0 when it should be 11.5. We were using about 11 gallons an hour. The brain trust decided to bump the boost from 8lbs to 9lbs, which is the max we can set it to currently. Each of us ran 1 hour stints with my Uncle not getting in the car on Friday.

On Saturday, my Uncle started off with an hour and also ran the last hour. He's not as fast as the other 4 of us, but at 70 years old, to only be 7-9 seconds slower per lap is pretty good. The rest of us ran 90 minute segments and I went second. Right away I started running really well with faster laps than Friday. My best lap ended up at 2:33.254. My cousin, JC beat that once with a 2:32.3. I gained 20 positions in 28 laps, moving from 49th to 29th.

Today the 5 of us will evenly split the 6 hours, but try to pit a bit early if there is a caution.

Here are my laps from Friday and Saturday. You can follow along at www.race-monitor.com starting at 10 am or a little after.

Sorry for the delay. He's in car #550. They had some issues of Friday, but seemed to run better on Saturday.

You go Mark! Love getting your updates. Must be hard to race and text at the same time! (jk) I'm rooting for you and your team! Godspeed and stay safe.
👍
Wow, sorry Mark! I should've scrolled down and read more of the thread before posting...Glad your cousin is ok! That is a tough way to have your race end.You all are in my prayers everytime you get out on the track!

Fairly entertaining... the last 15 laps my heart was pumping like crazy... wow!!!!!!

[Handlebar]

I still do not have a camera inside the car. I hope to fix that soon.

This is the first half of my final run of the day.

Yea that was pretty intense. Good race overall for sure. I have every intention of being there for the 100th running of it next year. Just hope I can get some good tickets.

Edit note: Announcers just said that during the race at Monaco the drivers go thru just under 4000 gear changes. That's insane.

@CoachMK21 That's scary. Glad your cousin is ok. Sounded like a fun ride though! Cars are easily replaced. Lives are not.

Glad that your Cousin made it out ok after the crash, shows that all the required safety mechanisms works.

Hi. I am interested in joining the snail organization. @WIDEeyedDRIVR Said to start here.

@SLIPSHADOW38

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.

• Original Post
• Drivers List
• SNAIL FAQ

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

A quick update. We are out of the race. Our first driver, my cousin JC, hit a patch of oil or antifreeze going into the ankle of the boot and spun and hit the wall pretty hard on the driver's side, then the car rebounded off the tire wall and rolled.

He's fine. The safety of the car, the roll cage and the seat did their job. But the car is done for now. Sheared off the engine mounts and broke the distributor. Replaced the distributor so it starts and runs fine, but a lot of damage on the driver's side, some on the roof and the right front tire/tie rod is not good.

I Do Not Like this. I was looking forward to running with you tonight, it's been ages since we've raced. Hope you have a safe trip home, and glad you got to experience a great race!
