The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - RUF 3400S '00 (Sports: Medium) at Trial Mountain Circuit / Forward (7 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @turnupdaheat wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08 (Sports: Soft) at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps (4 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @Xradkins gets Prize B, he has the option to freeze the car or the track, or he can give that option to the Prize C winner. If he gives the freeze away, then he gets to decide what car or track replaces the part of the combo that is left unfrozen by the Prize C winner.

Prize C goes to @richroo so he gets whichever option the Prize B winner does not select.

Preliminary prize winners, please don't announce your prize selection until all incident reports have been filed and it has been confirmed that you don't have any penalties. It's also recommended that you review the SNAIL combo history and other data on our car and track history so that you can get an idea how many times we've raced each car and track. Please remember that originality is always appreciated, so picking cars and tracks that we've never raced is a plus (but not required). What's more important is that you thoroughly test any combo that you are considering before making it your official selection. For example, any car you select should not hit its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in the draft).

IMPORTANT: When posting your Prize A or Prize B selection, please list the complete in-game name of the car and/or track you are selecting. For example, if you want to select the Amuse Superlegara for your car, post "Amuse Nismo 380 RS Superlagara". If you want to select Monza for a track, post "Autodromo Nazionale Monza". This makes it much easier for the lineup to be updated accurately and also prevents confusing other league members as to which car or track you are selecting. Also, please be sure to list the PP and HP (after oil change) of any car you select.

Car Selection Guidelines
Dealership Cars - The maximum price for a selected car is now $1,000,000
DLC Cars - Only DLC cars that are FREE and currently still available in the PlayStation Store can be selected.

Track Selection Guidelines
Any non-DLC track can be selected as long as a single lap with the car combo'd with it would not take more than five minutes to complete. For example, don't select anything that includes the Nurburgring's Nordschleife.

No one understands why this happens in each room on certain nights where drivers cannot see each other even though all of our internet connections are very fast.

It only happens in rooms with Americans...it must be their fault.

Prize B for Meee? Yeppie!!!

I'm gonna make it simple and freeze the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione '08 car. I picked it once along time ago, too. We raced it at Cape Ring then. Luv it and want to hear more of that bad a$$ sound. Pick a fun track now and do us good. : )

Fair enough, I remember you picking and loving that car. SPA is a beauty, and she'll get the nod soon enough. This is a one time chance for you to race a car you love again. And I also love the sound of an Alpha rappin' out to 8 grand.

Oh, and congratulations by the way.

Congratulations to you Xrad for getting Prize B and i posted pics from Last Night's Pack Racing in the Pack Racing thread.

Thanks for sharing your practices @gtr3123 I find that more helpful than watching live.

 

[turnupdaheat]

Wahaaay!! It has taken some time and I am delighted to have achieved my first Prize A win and being an Irishman of course there has to be a wee bit of story telling about my combo choice.

During the noughties when the Celtic Tiger economy was roaring loud I managed to go to three F1 Grands Prix, the 2001 Hungarian, 2002 Belgian and the 2006 Italian. As it happened, all three of these Grand Prix had one major thing in common......Michael Schumacher was the winner each time. The 2001 Hungrian GP was significant because his win secured the World Championship for that year and the 2006 Italian GP was an emotional affair because it was his final appearance for Ferrari at Monza and the Tifosi went particularly crazy when he won it!

The 2002 Belgian GP didn't have any particular significance but Spa Francorchamps is an incredible track to visit and it is possible to get very close to the track at certain points and I was able to take this close up shot of the man himself at Bruxelles corner. (Pardon the quality, it's a photo of a print)

Anyway, as we all know, life took a turn for the worse for Michael and we are only a couple of weeks away from the second anniversary of the skiing accident that almost killed him and has left him on a long and slow road to recovery and I would like my combo choice to reflect a small tribute to the man.

His won his first GP in 1992 and there is a certain 1992 Ferrari represented in the game, and it hasn't been chosen previously, so my combo choice is as follows:

Car: Ferrari F40 '92
Track: Autodromo Nazionale Monza '80s
Dealership PP: 528
Tyres: SS
PP after oil change: 536
Power after oil change: 495
Weight: 1352kg

I would expect a mid division laptime around the 1:52 mark give or take. It is a tricky car that doesn't take too kindly to be thrown about with abandon but it is a rewarding experience when you get it right. The brakes are not as strong as you would like considering the car's performance so brake early and in a straight line as much as possible and, thankfully, Monza is a track that suits this approach anyway.

So best of luck with it everyone and........

 

[richroo]

Dear @JLBowler , my pick for prize c is Indianapolis Road Course ..

 

[Sedia3]

Two cars i absolutely love, the Ferrari because I'm Italian and like why not and the Audi because I love Audi's and drive one. A 2001 Audi A4 B5 body style

I wax thinking the Alfa works well at Monza but Im glad to see the F40 get some justice. Huzzah. Practice up after dinner. All combos decided by Tuesday night!

So I was just looking at GTP and saw that GT6 has made 4.9mil. compared to GT5 which made 11.94. Thoughts?

Simple...They released a game for a console that was close to end of life.

 

[Alex ONeill]

So I was just looking at GTP and saw that GT6 has made 4.9mil. compared to GT5 which made 11.94. Thoughts?

There wasn't any real competition back in the GT5 days. Also with them adding content and events over the past few years they haven't really made any more money on the game even though they keep improving it.

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Simple...They released a game for a console that was close to end of life.

It actually surprised me that GT6 sales were so low most people I know (my friends list) pre ordered GT6 and the buzz pre release being high. I thought most people bought it during pre order. GT4 came out in 2005 a year before the PS3 and sold 11.74.

 

[Lessen]

Remember when GT6 first dropped, how much chatter there was about how much harder it was than GT5? Now, recall how much buzz there was about Project Cars a year ago vs. similar chatter now about how much harder it is?

Ya may not agree, but I honestly feel the more realistic these "sims" become, the less popular they are with the BIG audience.

 

[CoachMK21]

I wonder if that GT5 figure counts DLC as well. Since in GT6, everything has been free, I'm sure they lost out on at least some revenue.

I didn't find GT6 any harder then GT5 career mode.

I'm not sure I looked last night for the units sold between the 2 titles and couldn't find it for GT6. http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Gran_Turismo. GT5 sold 10 million units.
