First I want to apologize to @socalnatv for passing the freeze. I didn't realize he was already a Prize C winner which meant I locked him out of his prize. Had I known this I would not have passed the freeze. Luckily he was going to freeze the car anyways so we're all good.


I'd like to have SNAIL as a whole decide where the MINI Clubman VGT goes, just like we did with choosing the Ferrari. So if you raced D1 on Sunday, nominate a track for the MINI Clubman VGT.
@msgt-sd @src_ej6 @Nicktune @Wolfsatz @Rednose58 @MSgtGunny @Kgffy @turnupdaheat

Just post in this thread your nomination for everyone to see. Let's have the nomination period end TONIGHT (11:59PM PST / 2:59AM EST)

Once nominations end we'll begin the voting process for anyone that raced in D2/D3. Whichever track from the list of nominees gets the most votes will be my selection. I'll close the voting @3PM EST Wednesday, just in time for official practice the following night. I'll make a detailed post tagging the eligible D2/D3 drivers tonight @ 12AM PST when voting opens.

@JLBowler if you don't want me doing this just let me know, I'll edit this post and make my own selection by tonight. If you're worried I wont follow through and get this organized in a timely fashion dont be, I'm pretty diligent in getting the combos in asap as it effects us all. Everyone seems to enjoy the Ferrari, now lets find a track everyone enjoys. Thanks



My nomination for the MINI Clubman VGT:

I might be having to run another suggestion process if @Alexrider007 doesn't reply before tonight. I would prefer that two suggestion and voting processes not run side by side. If you could cut your process off early to allow the thread to be clear for a potential prize A suggestion and voting process. I would like to have voting close at 6ET on Thursday and suggestions close at 11:59 ET on Wednesday if I have to go that route. If you could modify your nomination period to close early Wednesday afternoon, that would be great.
 
Its fixed. If you're a D2/D3 driver keep an eye on the nominated tracks as they come in today and try them out tonight. Tomorrow night will already be too late to make a decision. Ill try to have a test lobby open tonight using the nominated tracks

I guess I opened myself up for that one lol

But yeah, I need to find a way to reassemble my racing rig and reserve some seat time for GT Sport. While I'm at it, I should go deal hunting for a Playstation VR. That's by far the feature that has me the most excited. :drool:
If you secure a PSVR, be sure to get Resident Evil 7 and some adult diapers.

Unfortunately, everything we've heard about GT Sport and PS VR is that the full game is NOT VR compatible, they will have a sub section of the game be VR supported, and I highly doubt that is online racing.
 
How to Use Any Steering Wheel with PlayStation 4

This is still very technical for me, but at least, if you have any puter savvy, it will make sense to you, yah?

However, my question to the savvies out there is how to make my G27 shifter buttons work with the G29 wheel? The shifter work in PS4 with PCars, but not the buttons. It would be naaice if I could program a few extra buttons close by me.

Also, since G29 is not listed in GT6, which is the best wheel to choose in the GT6 menu? I miss the ability to use the clutch sometimes. (E.g. the right hand lane at Bathurst seems to be much more slippery than the left hand side at the start of the race. So, a clutch assisted start may help a bit to get off the line)
 
Prize A selection:
Aston Martin One-77 '11 going around the track at Suzuka circuit 2014.

Pre oil change: 749HP, 580PP
Post oil change: will update tonight since I forgot to do an oil change before testing and am at work now :)

And my suggestion for the mini is at spa! @SAMHAIN85

Post oil PP=587 and HP=785

I guess lap times to be between 2:05 and 2:10 for 5 laps.
 
Votes are in!

@src_ej6 's Trial Mountain Forward

votes: @racingchamp30
--------------------------------------------------------------

Not many votes...was hoping for way more but I understand people are busy and probably dont check the thread as often as others.

I dont have a mid division lap time but I can figure it out in about an hour. If anyone else has it please post it.
Edit:
1st lap 2:32.8 with 2 offs
2nd lap 2:28.7 clean

My guess is 2:31 @Rednose58
@JLBowler

Man y'all got a love affair with Spa. We have been there a lot recently.

It is kinda popular with 42 appearances.....

Combo Button.png for April 16

Please note:
1. Qualifying with the Mini on SPA will be 6 minutes.
2. Some people may finish the race in under 10 minutes
3. The Ferrari on Mount Panorama has a 5 minute qually because the lap times are under 2:16.000 (The formula allows for 30 seconds to get to the line to start your qualifying lap. On Mount Panorama it actually takes you 15 seconds. So, you can make a mistake and as long as you finish your first lap in under 2:31 you will have 2:15 available to run a recovery lap. So, don't give up if you make a mistake. There is enough time to recover.)

It was awhile ago now, but at that time there was no way to achieve it that I could find. Unless someone somewhere has figured it out now?
