◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Join now to win a Digit Racing EDGE Masterclass enrollment!!Open

[nmcp1]

Hello, I would like to join the snail racing league. I previously posted that I wanted to and was told by someone to message Nail-27 via PSN but my friend request is still pending. I'm not sure if I did something wrong with trying to register or not. Could some one please steer me the right direction.

Thanks,

@Evolvo

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

Hey guys, just a note, if you haven't bought the viper yet or just don't have it, you can win it in the seasonal events thru the Expert level Front-Engine RWD Challenge. It is really easy 400K and you get the Viper GTS '02 for free if you win.

 

[llNovall]

Hey chatva,
Great pick for a combo. I'm loving the Viper at Bathurst.

To all my Brother and Sister Snails -
Real Life has entered my world here in West Texas. And sad to say I'm going to slide my way off the track for an extended period of time. A night position has been offered - and was an offer I couldn't refuse.

Just wanted to say that the evenings I spent online with all of you were times that I will consider Priceless. Friendships, Laughter and learning to quietly deal with frustration (most of the time) is a summary of what I have been given and I appreciate it all.

God richly bless each of you in your Life, Enjoyments and Commitments. It has been my pleasure to be part of the best league online.

Maybe I'll visit some night when I'm not working.
Take care
Jack

I wish you all the best Tex, you were my first friend on Snail and made me feel welcome.

 

[aLmk]

I have a practice room open in the club lobby if anyone wants to join.

Closed.

Future prize winners - I know everyone wants to pick a car that drives well and is popular amongst the fellow SNALS, so is there anything you can look at to steer you towards a potential "survivor"....?

I looked at the Top 30 appearances by manufacturer, how many different models of that manufacturer appeared and calculated the "Survival Rate" of a manufacturer. (A survival rate of 1 means one-and-gone, so you want to look at manufacturers that is not hugging the number 1) The result is below. This will not guarantee a good survivor, but at least you can see which manufacturers tend to hang around a bit. Happy hunting. Remember to look at the link to GT6 List of cars in my signature.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

And the one in my signature. It can be sorted to see what has the most appearances.

Jack, you are a class act sir. I miss our karting days and the Saturday afternoon practices. You are a role model gentleman racer that everybody should have the privilege to race with. I hope to see you on track again in the future, and best of luck and well-being in your endeavors.

-Josh

 

[Falango]

Since we have our combos set, can we make an effort to get some pictures posted for banners by Friday afternoon? I will have to do the banners on Friday as I will be quite busy this weekend. Please remember to tag me in the post so I don't miss them!

Photographic experimentation,all comments,criticism,and advice welcome!I hope you enjoy!

@TomMang_68 ,Yo' 'Mang RUSH rocks!You have good taste in music!

 

[Falango]

@Raw10_2u some of your pictures are quite dark, try bumping the exposure up. Also, try to keep the car off the edge of the frame, like you have with those 2 Subaru shots. Don't forget to tag me if they are for banners. It's easier for me to find the posts that way.

Also, I'm on my phone, so I can't tell, but are they larger than 800 pixels wide? I ask because it's nicer to have the original size of the image, so I have more control over scale and positioning.

@Falango ,I was playing with the exposure a bit,they looked better on the PS3,,,go figure!I am unsure if I adjusted the size(probably did,,,experimenting!)And thanks Falango for the advice,I am trying to follow it!

 

[STEAMER62]

Your so lucky Tom. I saw them in my home town back in the late 70's
One of the most talented and under appreciated bands out there and yet they can still fill a stadium after 40 yrs!!! ENJOY

GT-R LM tires

Spoiler: Le Mans Qualy information inside

So far, they are slower than the leading LMP2, the Oreca #47, 21 seconds behind the leading Porsche (#18).
I hope they save a bunch of pit stops, because they are going to lose a truck load of time on track...

Awesome band. About 35 years ago, Rush was just another Toronto bar band competing for the same bar wage my band was. They were good guys back then and are still good Canadian Hozers. It was shortly before Peart joined the band....the rest is history. Enjoy the show Tom

Step right up SNAILs
It's that time of the week again where we get to try the new combos with the Orange Mangos.
Room Rules : EXPECT YELLOW FLAGS, RESPECT, PATIENCE, AND SHARING OF TIPS.

Regulars: @pubason @STEAMER62 @cliff eden @Warlooker @DCschwinn{RESIDENT MC} @FlipJ @USERID_77a23 {RESIDENT YODA AND ''GO TO GUY''} AND A HOST OF OTHERS AND OF COURSE YOURS TRULY ''THE ENIGMATIC ONE'' KWAMI. So lets see if we can get another banner pic for Friday

Open invitation to all new mid division drivers looking for a competitive room to familiarise themselves with the SNAIL PHILOSPHY. And this goes out to you too @WraithQueen {who we almost lost to SNAIL on her first night's racing. To quote wraithqueen '' I don't think this is for me, my driving is too aggressive''
Well Wraithqueen, I am sure I speak for the rest of SNAIL when I say give it a full season [4weeks] and then decide. But I f you want to refine your driving in GT6 then this is the place to do it. It's a learning curve but the rewards after wards when you are wheel cap to wheel cap fighting for a corner ,with drivers you will grow to know and respect, the satisfaction and rewards are more than worth it. So try and join us tonight.
