Thought it was time for the racing picture/historical question of the week..

this is quite simply the most complicated formula one ENGINE ( not to be confused with he current power thingys ) of its day..and as you can plainly see...it leaked!
The car and engine and driver actually won a race....who what when where....three out of four ain't bad. Hint ... it was the very first race I ever attended and I am 68 years old (constantly younger than Tex )

image.jpg
 
I am off work tomorrow so I think I am gonna just practice the combos all day if anyone wants to join me.

Also, can anyone throw out some tips for the Lexus? I can't seem to get a decent time their at all, I am about 3 sec off pace... Any tips would be appreciated.

This one took some searching but I think I've got it.

Jim Clark won at Watkins Glen on October 2, 1966 with a Lotus 43 BRM P75 H16. It was designed by Colin Chapman. Not only did it only win one race, but it seems this was the only race that it finished. What makes this even more amazing, is that Clark lapped the entire field in the 108 lap event on the 3.78 km course for a total of 408 km (~255 miles). It's also very likely that my Dad was at this race. I have race programs from 1963 and 1969 and he was actively racing at Watkins Glen during this time. It would be amazing (if impossible) to know if my Dad and @Nail-27 crossed paths during the weekend.

PD needs to respond, but it's difficult to with a game that's already been on the market for a few years. The course creator is the last big hurrah GT really has right now, since they said there won't be any other new courses. With the way things have gone, it has to be a hit, and it has to be free.

Heck, I already paid for the Course Creator.

It darned well better be free.

My money is on the release of a half arse version of the randomizer from GT5. Probably all they could fit in with Kaz's track days, publicity shoots, bring the crew along (What, we work???) tour.

Wow Coach...SHACK ( Air Frace term for Direct hit) .

That was my first race...my College roomie had a honey at Keuka College just north of the glen...the deal was I'd drive my 65 Mustang 10 hours and would have a blind ( hopefully not really !) date. Well all went we'll utill we were trying to figure out what to do Sunday....Then my date...Robin I think ( that was alot of dates ago...pun intended)...said there was a car race at "the Glen". To which i replied in now well quoted words " Whats a Glen?. The rest is as they say...is history....hooked.

Bonus Question: in your picture the getleman waving the checker...a Glen Tradition...and character....who is he.....btw he wore lavender suits.

@silverjr65

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.
Welcome to SNAIL :cheers:
 
Today is Round 4 of the Blancpain Endurance Series. 24 Hours of Spa.

It starts at 10:30 Eastern Standard Time. The team standings aren't very close but the driver standings are. It's the penultimate race before the finale, 1000km of Nurburgring GP. Let's go racin' boys!
 
Hopefully it's a better race than last year. So much destruction, and a very scary accident later in the race too. The WEC race there this year was barely interrupted by yellows, so let's hope Blancpain can follow suit. I haven't been able to watch a single race this season, but will hopefully be able to catch up soon.
 
I've had the races on TV but weeks after they actually happened. And the longer races they only show highlights in an hour's time. Booooo

I'm working tomorrow 4pm-midnight so I'll watch on my phone when on break. There's also the Formula 1 GP at Hungaroring is also this weekend.
 
Watched FP1 today, very eventful, that's all I'll say. I've seen the Blancpain races posted on Youtube, and I usually watch lots of racing at work, but for some reason the Blancpain races error out and don't even begin. I tried downloading the races and reuploading to Google Drive, and it still won't work. I may have to try converting them to a different format.
 
That's odd, and sucks man. Sorry to hear that. CBS Sports marathon'd all of the Australian V8 Supercars races recently and I got to watch those on a full TV. Very good racing there.

Here are the settings for the weekend. With an average of 572 HP per car and 50 race laps between the three combos we are in for some heavy duty racing this week - good luck

Sorry I've been out of the loop for the past couple of days, but have been slammed with work. In any case, the lineup post has been updated.

I'll admit that I'm still not caught up on the thread or my PM's, but apparently one of our members caused a ruckus both on the thread and in my GTP inbox.. :irked:

Welcome to SNAIL
From our humble beginnings, SNAIL (aka Sunday Night American Interactive League) is now the largest console-based sim racing league in the world. Our mission is to provide our members with clean, intense, and competitive racing - regardless of skill level! We believe that providing full grids of evenly-matched competitions is the most realistic way to race, improve skill, and refine racecraft! Our league night is Sunday at 9:30pm Eastern / 6:30pm Pacific, but we also have a a wide variety of other events held on other nights of the week. If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, please keep reading to learn more about us and how to join.

What Makes Us Different
There are five key features of SNAIL that you won't find elsewhere. First of all, we provide you with evenly-matched competition regardless of your skill level. In fact, the intense level of competition that we produce has established SNAIL as the ideal place to prepare for GT Academy. And if you want to keep track of your improvement along the way, you'll be glad to know that we keep the most comprehensive race data available on GTPlanet. We also feature an interactive process that allows all of our members to have a say in which cars and tracks we race. And last but not least, we're the only league that awards our members with valuable prizes just for racing with us!!

Evenly-Matched Competition
Have you ever watched a professional race where drivers with completely different skill levels were competing on the same track? Of course not! That wouldn't be fun to watch, let alone fun to participate in. Unfortunately, that disparity of pace is something you'll often find in organized online racing. When this happens, you'll be lucky to have just a few drivers that you're truly competitive with. Everyone else will usually either be faster or slower than you. We prevent that from happening in SNAIL by dividing our drivers into separate divisions based on speed and skill. This results in full grids of evenly-matched competition and creates the closest and most intense sim racing experience around!

Prepare for GT Academy
If you'd like to compete in GT Academy, there's no better place than SNAIL to hone your skills to the elite levels necessary to make it to the finals. You need to be the best of the best to make it to Silverstone, and that's exactly what the drivers in our top division are. Half of last year's and half of this year's Silverstone Finalists have raced in SNAIL. And since our race format (which features multiple sprint races) is almost identical to the format used at the GT Academy national finals, they were able to use their SNAIL experience to help them advance to Silverstone. Click here if you want to advice from last year's eventual champion and click here if you want advice from last year's runner-up.

Valuable Prizes
Have you ever wished you could win free stuff just for having fun? If so, then you might want to know that our members win valuable real-world prizes just for racing with us! These prize are based on participation and not on race results. Some examples of prizes our members have won include GranStand sim racing products like this, this and this, ButtKicker products like a Gamer2 and a Wireless ButtKicker Kit. You can also join Team SNAIL and earn even more prizes, such as shirts (e.g. S.N.A.I.L. shirt, F1 shirt, GT Academy shirt), video capture devices (e.g. Hauppauge PVR), sim racing equipment (e.g. Playseat Evolution), and even gift cards (e.g. Amazon and PSN).

Spec Racing
SNAIL was the first GTPlanet league to prohibit tuning in all of our races. This combined with the fact that we race in the same cars produces a type of racing called "spec" racing. Spec racing ensures that success is determined solely by driving skill and not by differences in car power, gearing, suspension, weight, or aerodynamics. Because variables in the car are eliminated, spec racing is the truest measure of driver skill! It also produces intense battles for position because all of the cars are equally strong or weak in the same areas of the track. Another benefit of spec racing is that you'll never spend time tuning cars or wondering if someone is truly faster than you or if they just have a better tune.

Race Format
Our league night lasts for two hours and is split into three rounds. Each round consists of two races that last 10 to 12 minutes on a predetermined car and track combo. At the beginning of each round, a brief qualifying session determines the order of the starting grid. The first race is set to 'Fastest First' to reward the best qualifiers and the second race is set to 'Reverse Grid' in order to promote on-track action. Points are awarded based on our "perfect" points system. After a round is completed, we move on to the next round and repeat the same process with the next car and track combination. Once all three rounds are complete, we tally up the points and then let our interactive format kick in.

Interactive Process
Our unique format allows everyone to have a say on which cars and tracks we race. It is also used to strike a balance between familiarity and variety of cars and tracks. In other words, the progression of cars and tracks that we race is slow enough for us to learn them well, but fast enough that they don't get "old". At the end of every league night, we ask everyone to vote on which car and track combo they enjoyed the least. The combo that receives the most "elimination votes" is dropped from the next week's lineup entirely. The combo that receives the second most votes is also dropped, but only partially. This is where our prizes play an important role in our interactive format.

Prizes
A prize is awarded to the divisions winners with the three highest scores*. The division winner with the highest score gets Prize A. The division winner with the second highest score gets Prize B. The division winner with the third highest score gets Prize C: (NOTE: We now have a new process for breaking ties in the elimination vote)
Prize A: The right to select the new car and track combo to replace the combo that was voted off
Prize B: The right to replace either the car or the track of the combo that received the second most votes
Prize C: The right to "freeze" either the car or the track of the combo that received the second most votes

Promotion and Relegation
Although we split our drivers into separate divisions based on performance and skill level, we realize that our drivers are constantly improving and deserve a chance to climb the ladder of success. That's why we promote and relegate drivers before every season based on the results and data compiled during the previous season. This is also done to ensure that our races are as competitive as possible for all of our league members, top to bottom. Regardless of which division you're in, you will almost always be fighting to gain or defend a position on the track. Simply put, no other Gran Turismo league in the world can offer this much competitive racing to so many different skill levels.

Comprehensive Race Data
It's not always accurate to promote and relegate drivers based on championship points alone. That's why the massive amounts of data we track are invaluable to our league. You'd be hard-pressed to find a sim racing league anywhere in the world that tracks driver data and race results more comprehensively than we do. In fact, our SNAIL Data document contains so much information that we have to archive old data to avoid exceeding the GoogleDoc's maximum capacity! You can use this data to track the points championship for each season and compare yourself to other drivers in categories such as fast laps, total race pace, total points, average points per race, and power rankings.

Rules
We expect all drivers to follow our OLR Rules and pursue good racecraft at all times. If you're not sure what good racecraft is, watch this video. It can be summed up in one simple 'Golden Rule' of motorsports: It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free. If you don't agree with this rule or don't think it applies to you, this is not the league for you. If you ever feel like a driver is not following the rules, please wait until league night is over, then file a Racing Incident Report. Our Stewards will review the incident and issue the appropriate penalties.
