You can't tune anything, at all.

Edit: Except custom wheels, (no bigger sizes), paint jobs, racing number.

Thanks

Read this post.

Got it. I'm spec and slow compared to the times I'm seeing. In my mind it was my cars fault. Lol unfortunately it's my fault.

 

[euclid58]

Well, we were in good position until I took over at my second 3hour stint. Still shown in 3rd place in class, but will surly change due to my disconnect.

We all had issues this time.. It's a 24 hour race.. That's a long time..
Don't carry that on yourself Buddy.. My tech problems didn't help either..
If we were 3rd, it's because you got us there..

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!
​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join SNAIL Racing League:

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

Now that Snail has its own mini forum you guys still need to thin the BS out of the main thread so the info is easier to find.

I still (and have always) suggest a thread for just BSing and small talk...maybe call it the Pit Stop. And maybe a thread where members can discuss real life racing and real car news etc.

This would thin out about 90 percent of the excess posts in this thread.

 

[TomMang_68]

 

[DesertPenguin09]

I agree. We need a non-gaming or social thread.

 

[Falango]

A motorsports thread would be awesome, considering how many members we have that run in events and races.

 

[IceWarden]

My irony meter goes to 11.

Regarding the Subaru Imprezza:
(hope this hasn't already been discussed)

Just because it is 4WD and keeps going thru the sand - does not mean that, if you get all 4 wheels off the track, you can keep powering your way back on to the track.

Particularly if there are cars following you.
Slow down - "take your medicine" for the mistake and re-enter when you will not be in the way of someone else.

Imagine how loudly you would file the IR, if someone came off the sand/shoulder and got into your Racing Line.

Remember the "Why" we are all in Snail - to race cleanly, respectfully, and to enjoy the evening's competition.

Your "paycheck" after the race does not have more $$$ in it, just for winning or being in front of the next guy.

"Don't Be That Guy"

My brother had a near miss at Lime Rock yesterday. Here is the in car video, as well as the video I took from my phone. I just happened to be there at the "right" time. More video's to come as I get through the raw stuff.

So if I go off I should let off the gas and rejoin the track when not in the way of others and then rejoin the racing line when I'm back up to speed?

Yes penguin that is the proper way to race. You don't get on the Highway in front of a semi that is doing 100km/h while your doing 60 km/h do you?

Hope it didn't hurt the car. Nice shot.

There is a significant reason why I use "121" for my PCA number, and I have a funny feeling you'd know how...

It would appear you're a bit late to the party. This is, essentially, the general discussion thread now. Everything that's "needed" for Snails to know has been moved to several stickied threads, which can be reached by the simple URL www.gtplanet.net/snail. Other threads have been created by a few others for various other purposes and can be reached using that same URL. All threads pop to the top of their section, sticky and non-sticky, as new posts are added. We're still working out the kinks in using our new forum section. It's always possible things can change in how it's used.

Using the www.gtplanet.net/snail URL as a favorite or bookmark, you could "Unwatch" every SNAIL thread that sits under it. Log in to GTPlanet, click the favorite or bookmark or whatever you've got saved as, and check out whichever's at the top and/or in bold typeface.

Am I free to start a thread to help drivers get quicker? It would be a spin off of my old thread when I was actually slower than I am today.

It would be a place where D1 drivers could add their tips for practice, speed and combos.
