zer05ive's signature has the earn shells link. Just find one of his posts. It might also be somewhere in the marketplace thread and the SNAIL OLR P&G thread.
 
I just want to say outwardly, thank you bowler, and thank you you to others that were in place to incorporate all of the model ideas we debated about race craft very early in the development of this eloquent simulator of racecar driving. But, with that, I resign from snail. I remember testing gt4 online as a special guest in the North American beta. Even then we implemented a special driver to monitor the race and call out questionable moves.

That was 2006!!!

Snail D1 no longer represents quality racing. It may represent what we have to offer each week, but it's not the best representation of what it can offer.

Let me guess: I refuse to report the robbery in progress and I will blame the cops instead?

Well, without being there it's kind of hard to know although easy to speculate. As long as I've been around SNAIL, D1 has always seemed to have a reputation of hosting some very aggresssive driving tactics, but not necessarily stuff that that is reportable.

I guess what I'm saying is that it is completely feasible to utilize questionable textics whilst not breaking any clean league rules.
 
@JLBowler, please remove me (if that's what the process is) from the active drivers list. My schedule is just not going to allow it. Keep me updated on that new series you're working on, Fridays are a much more feasible option for me with my work schedule.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Pontiac Firebird Trans Am '78 (Sports: Hard) at Grand Valley East / Forward (9 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @msgt-sd wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.
PLEASE NOTE: Since @msgt-sd has already won Prize A this season, he is ineligible to win it again until next season. This means that unless he loses Prize A due to incident reviews, any driver who competed in Division 1 on Sunday night will have the opportunity to suggest an entirely new car and track combo. I recommend that all D1 drivers from Sunday night start thinking about combos they would like to suggest. That way, you will be ready to post it if/when @JLBowler gives the "all clear". Also, please be sure to only suggest one combo. Any driver who suggests more than one combo will automatically be ineligible to suggest any combos at all. Please don't let that happen to you. Only suggest ONE combo (but not until @msgt-sd is confirmed as the Prize A winner).

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Subaru IMPREZA WRX STI spec C '09 (Sports: Medium) at Deep Forest Raceway / Reverse (8 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @keepitsteady 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 @Adramike 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
See Section 3 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

Track Selection Guidelines
See Section 3.1 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

Currently tracking 19 Incident Reports​
We have at least one prize winner with a racing incident being investigated by the stewards. This may, obviously, change the order of the prizes to be selected. All 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.​

Those who have a mathematical chance of winning a prize will be included in a conversation as soon as I finish reviewing what I'm going to review tonight.

You are aware that this league runs at 9pm ET? so you would be racing in the middle of the night.
 
BenMillard
At the moment it will be OK for me. Long term, less so. I'm intending to be a part-time participant if that's OK.

I also read SNAIL has off-shoot events on most days of the week? Perhaps that isn't still the case.

OK as long as you are aware. And we do but they are all at the same time rooms open at 9pm ET but I think the only events left are the 2 on wednesday.

@BenMillard
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.
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 :cheers:
