Currently tracking 22 Incident Reports​
We have at least one potential prize winner with a racing incident being investigated by the stewards. This may, obviously, change the order of the prizes to be selected. The prize A winner, @Grandpa Money is free from IRs and is cleared to make his selection. All other potential winners are asked to refrain from making selections until the Weekly Steward's report has been posted.
The target deadline for the Steward Reviews, this week, is Wednesday night by 10PM Eastern. The Steward Summary will be posted as soon as possible, following completion of reviews.
:@: SNAIL Stewards, please make your way to The Incident Review Scoring.​
The IR Submission Form is now closed.​

Over the last few weeks, the stewards have seen quite a few IRs with the time stamp information being filled out incorrectly. Please take a look at the incident reporting instructions and take note that the time entered is always the total race time that you get from the upper right corner of your screen. It is not the time of the lap, it is not the time from the replay timer on the bottom of the screen, it is not the total lap time from the lap you just finished that pops up in the middle of the screen, and it's not the best lap of the race by a given driver. It is the total race time.

Hey @JLBowler I was reading through the IR stuff and something made me think:

-Special note concerning the use of the in game "ghosting feature". Use of the ghosting feature is not permitted in SNAIL except in very specific situations. If the "ghosting feature" is used in a non-approved way, the following penalties will apply:

Level three which is 9 -12 pts. Any movement while ghosted by a driver that has not quit the race, either on track or off track or parking while ghosted on track or near enough to the racing surface to create a distraction (defined as your triangle being on any portion of the track maps white line).

18 points or more - Use of the ghosting feature to avoid a collision or accident, use of the ghosting feature to gain any type of advantage either on track or off (ex: ghosting through a sand trap), or use of the ghosting feature that causes another driver to take evasive action or be distracted.

This got me thinking about Special Stage Route 5 last night. Typically the ghosting is referring to a driver trying to go through an accident to avoid hitting it. What about the driver in the accident ghosting so others can continue on safely? Due to the tight nature of the course and the lack of visibility, once smoke built up from a spin it was near impossible to tell where the spinning car was or would be. The ghosting car clearly in no way gains an advantage. On street tracks or areas of tracks that have barriers/no runoff, could this be allowed or still a violation?

It would still be a violation. SNAIL is trying to keep things as real as you can in a video game. Cars don't ghost in real life and they shouldn't ghost here. That is one of the reasons the in game penalty system was abandoned in SNAIL. Drivers approaching the smoke should slow and take necessary caution to attempt to avoid cars in the smoke. If they don't do that, they shouldn't be rewarded because someone in the smoke decided to ghost their car. Aside from that, when a driver ghosts their car, the game takes control and would get you going in the right direction faster than you could by waiting for traffic to clear and rejoining the race. That would be an advantage gained by the driver who ghosted their car.
 
Division 4 Data complete.

6 fastest laps, all of them faster than the pole time for the combo, 4 wins.
Somehow, I'm not too sad to have been forced to miss the night. Coach was on fire!

Thanks guys. I really, really liked all 3 combos and was fortunate to put in 40 minutes of racing @Xradkins at Apricot Hill on Thursday. I also happened to watch @K1utch run laps at SSR5, even though i didn't run a lot of laps there myself, it was good to see it done fast. Thanks to both of them for helping, even though @K1utch probably didn't know :)

I just kick myself for messing up on the last race of the night and missing my brake point while side-by-side with @DesertPenguin09 going into the bus stop. Could have had 5-6 more points.


As a side note. There is some really nasty weather here in the Rochester, NY area. It took me 2 hours and 15 minutes for a normally 25 minute commute.
 
So, i've finally got to know which division i am at, which is Division 2.

Although, for the people at the division 2, and everyone who is involved at the organization, i own you guys an apology for this specific Sunday. The reply to know which division i was at took longer than my anxiety expected, and i honestly thought you guys have gave up on me. Hahaha I mean, it's not hard to know about my past here in GTPlanet and such, so i didn't see their message in time to participate.

I promise that next sunday, i will participate and race clean. Glad to be part of SNAIL. :)
 
Da da da da daa, you know you are rocking with the E N G.
Ok it is that time again for me to ask for you to spare a few minutes of your busy lives.
Sunday's combos were all great combos in my opinion and would ove to race them all again with the same gents from D5. We have had a lot of issues with PSN lately but some how come race night everything seemed to miraculously fall in place. By the end of the night I was so pumped up from racing with great battles and close finishes that when it came to making the video highlights only the songs used in the video took me back to sunday night with the fellas from D5.

So on that note here we go. If any one is wondering what the two last songs are about, then let me tell you that they are young artists from Ghana in west Africa. They are froma oart of ghana where my grandparents are from. I just thought I would share them with you guys lol. Hope you enjoy, I did while making it.

Another great video Engmatic1!

@Raw10_2u check out the 2:58 mark. you can see the glitch happen. It shows my car hit you and both us off the track, my car disappears, then you see my car go around the corner the way my replay shows. Very strange.

Heading home now. All our local branches closed at Noon and my office floor is basically a ghost town already. It's a great view from the 17th floor of the storm. Wish me luck.

So it's just heavy rain? I'm a little east of you so I thin I'm getting that later tonight. Safe travels

I echo @Mike Lobban sentiments as well in regards to racing with you guys. I posted in our D4 and Mango Convo's that I retired my PS3 Yesterday. But to those who I have raced against and are not in those convo's, thanks for the good times.
For those that will miss Lobban's relentless sheep comments to me,:mischievous:, well, you'll just have to join us in pCars.
Until then, or GT7, we will hopefully see you on a racetrack soon!
:cheers:

Rough life around your area too. It's hard to face the harsh elements day after day after day.....

To all others, please keep in mind that my mother is a saintly woman when responding and remember GTPlanet's swear filter is very restrictive.
