@Outfrontrcn2

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, @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

Top of the morning to you gentlemen and ladies, looks like 2016 is bringing out the best in all of us. I say this after having one of the most exhilarating nights I have had with SNAIL. After a shaky start with PSN falling short of the mark and letting us down as some drivers could not log on and some understandably giving up all together leaving 7 drivers in the field for the night and what a night it turned out to be. So I decided to post a video but this time I did it a little different to see how quick I could put it together. It turned out to be quite a fun little project. Who knows I might start making them with this as a template. I did not spend any time on it at all, just tried it so excuse the dodgy worK. sO HERE GOES

Spoiler: d5 highlights from sunday

@Engmatic1 Nice video man,That was some fun racing all night long(other than me stinking up the joint!).Appreciate your time and effort good Sir,the format was great IMHO.

I thought I would post an update on the adapter to use my G27 on the PS4. The original plan was to do a set up using a Raspberry PI, this is still going to happen, but it ended up being more than my limited electronics experience could handle. I have an electronics guru buddy working on it, but his busy schedule means a few more weeks before he can finish it up. The gimx creator will tell you the PI is still "experimental".
In the meantime, my buddy gave me a small dedicated laptop to go the PC route, which is the same as what @nmcp1 did. Nuno posted a sketch of the set up so I thought I would post actual pictures of it so you can see what the bits look like for real.
We had some problems with the Teensy chip, we ordered two from another source (direct from china) but they were defective and we sent them back. We ended up ordering from the supplier in Oregon (chips are still from China) and they worked right away. Like Nuno said, there were a couple of key things missing in the instructions but he got them figured out, luckily for me he went through this first, lol.
So I think between the two of us, and I believe a couple of others might be trying this, we can offer advice or help to anyone else who wants to do it. It will cost about $30, as long as you have a laptop or PC to use. The Raspberry Pi route looks like it will cost in the $60 to $80 range. I figured I just saved myself $470 and I can give the you know what to Logitech!
And yes, it all works great!

Je crois avoir lu quelque part que telechargements gratuits ne sont pas disponibles au Quebec.
Je voulais juste repondre en francais avec une sorte de radotage juste pour confondre les personnes les plus en anglais ici!

Est ce que la chip bilingue? En Canada c'est obligatoire pour tous les produits marche en français aussi!

(Mais moi, je parle français trop mal. Je toujours dit que je parle Francais comme "une vache Espaniol"...)

No practice tonight?
Don't see anyone.

hahaha...lol...was just messing with you ........you would think that growing up in a bilingual province and having to take french all those years in school would allow me to write it....not......ya gotta love google translate,lol. I do understand it a bit though.

Yep don't use Google translate.... the translation to French is really bad. Reverso is a much better tool. You have the option to use "Context" so you can pick the translation that fits your context the best... c'est la vie!

Intensely Fun!!!


Question to all:

Was there Snails that could not make it to the practice room. .

I feel we may need to open an alternate.

I'm really glad everyone is enjoying the Pagani! I hope it sticks around for a while!

Love it! (and I am usually the one who complains about us picking too many race cars).
Great choice man

No kidding, I have seen things like... you type something in English, it gives you a supposed French translation...you enter the French translation to get the English back...and it gives you something completely different .

hahaha...lol...was just messing with you ........you would think that growing up in a bilingual province and having to take french all those years in school would allow me to write it....not......ya gotta love google translate,lol. I do understand it a bit though.

I understand quite a bit, depending on the accent and vitesse. I can usually read it well, though sometimes if the person used Google, it will select really bizzarre words that I have never seen - because nobody in real life actually uses them. Talking, I am not bad, though I mess up all my conjugation and blur over some things by sort of mumbling at times, lol. Writing is the trick...every mistake and conjugation and spelling and tenses and masculin/feminin of all the words is all right there for everyone to see. Thus, I hate actually writing it...I go from being functional to knowing nothing and I feel like I am back in grade 3 while the teacher holds up a shirt saying "chemise".

Funniest thing is talking to someone for 20 minutes, then each of us finally realizing that the other is actually a native anglophone and we have both been "struggling" for nothing.
