It's Monday. That means Pack Racing!

For all new-comers and those unfamiliar with SNAIL outside of Sundays and Thursdays, Pack Racing is a non-points scoring spec series utilizing low powered cars and weak boost. Oh no, I said boost. You're already wary and/or confused. Why would SNAIL use boost? Well after considerable testing it works, but only with lower powered cars. It helps bring you back to the pack but once you're mixed in or near the front the boost is relatively less and skill is required to make an overtake happen. We use the classic MX-5 Miata, it's Touring Car variant, and the 86 GT/FR-S/BRZ clones, just a head's up on what cars to get if you're interested. Check out the Pack Racing thread for more details.

Hope to see a full room tonight! :gtplanet:

Pack racing room is open.
 
Here is phase one of my most recent rig construction project. This is the phase where all the necessities are connected and all fitment testing is done. What you see there is basically the frame work and necessary panels on which mount hardware. It works as it is. The next step is to add a console for tuning notes, cup holders, and controllers along with the keyboard. The headset will hang on what was the seat belt guide on the seat by the headrest. Next step is paint and other pretty stuff. Once it's finished, I may post some more pictures.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C6) LM Race Car '06 (Racing: Medium) at Daytona Road Course (7 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @Unknown_Male 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 - Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car '98 (Sports: Soft) at Apricot Hill Raceway / Forward (8 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @Matthew Barry 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 @msgt-sd 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.
 
I know a lot of people didn't like the Corvette combo, but to me it felt the most realistic.
If you pushed the car hard you could put up some good lap times but always on the verge of losing control is what made it a challenge.
Plus the track presented its own challenges...The start, corner one, the draft, the grass (got bit by that one ) and the bus stop all made for an intense experience.

More so than the other combos, having to worry about the car the track and your opponent constantly through out the whole race made me think this must be what real race car drivers feel at times... When you can get a rush like that from a "video game" that's pretty awesome.

:@: SNAIL Stewards, please make your way to The Incident Review Scoring.​

But it got old. i know I was sick of it
 
I was loving the car, I just wish it got a change of venue. That's what it needed, not to be eliminated entirely. I'd love to bring it back but at another track.
