I think bowler will be along soon and get the prize a selection process started. Don't we have to make recommendations in the thread? I think it could get complicated this week.

You are right, I should not have posted my thoughts so quickly. Sorry
 
It's a new season so you probably get to pick.
And nothing to be sorry about Tex. Im.not a mod, just thinking out loud in the thread, or whatever that would be called.
 
My GrandStand arrived safely over the weekend and it's a proud addition to my man cave. Thank you Bill and @zer05ive

The new GT Sport video "Theme Music" is very good. Very life-like in the graphics.
 
I am finally done with this school year and have a few weeks between several summer events, I'll do some reading here and may log onto GT6 again - it is good to see some familiar names.

I'm still active with my local club Autocross, and running my older car with my son. My son just turned 18 and gets to do his first DE event in August before heading to Virginia Tech for engineering. We run the newer car on the track for more safety. I'm even more involved in the club's DE program. I'm becoming the DE Tech co-chair (I do the day-of inspections each morning at the track) for my regional PCA, and I've become a PCA instructor as well this spring. I was thinking of Club Racing in G-Class this fall, but I'm going to hold out until 2018. I'm handling the pace car duties for this October's club race for my region. Busy times and I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks again @JoeW - great 'supplier' for creating real car addictions.

I'm guessing the next-gen GT7 (GT Sport?) is delayed if things are still normal - is there any believable delivery date yet? I still haven't picked up a PS4 yet, but may do that in the next couple of weeks as well.
 
View media item 2540Race Date: 2 July 2017
Currently tracking 2 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.
 
I know it's July 4th and at night the fireworks will take over, but is anyone interested in having fun in Project Cars today?
 
I've been casually playing Project Cars and Battlefield 1. I need a SNAIL-like league though and there's really nothing close. Hoping PCars 2 gives us what we need.

Seems like the number of participants in this time of only two divisions has been so lop-sided lately, I'm wondering if the current points adjustment system should be revised.
At this rate, Nic-Kl, I mean Division 1, will never get a shot at Prize A.
Not because Nic-Kl, I mean the winner of D1, didn't earn many points, but because the number of people in D2 is doubled, and that just isn't fair.
Winning the night in D2 with a large number of racers, can't be harder than winning the night in D1.
Can't a change in the current system be made to give D1 a chance at Prize A?

There are currently 21 drivers in D1 that have raced at least one time in the last two seasons. There are 20 drivers that fit that description in D2. Both divisions have the same number of full time drivers.

The only problem with the system is that drivers don't, and have never, seemed to want to show up and race in D1 for whatever reason.
 
There's this to consider as well. With the contraction to 2 divisions the skill spread in either division is greater.

Passing 14 folks must be easier than passing 6. :P

I know the skill spread in D2 is much greater than it is in D1.
D1 is made of a couple D1 guys and a lot of D2 regulars.
D2 is currently made up of some D2 guys and everyone else that was once was in D3-D6, but is still racing.
Passing 6 guys in the current D1 is definitely harder then passing 12 guys in the current D2.
If you don't believe me, come to D1 and give it a shot!

Throw out the attendance multiplier and go straight point total having only 2 divisions???

That was my first thought!
Winner of each division still get prize A or prize B, then prize C goes to third highest points in whichever division.


Or, just suspend using it until there's more than 3 divisions?

I think this is the way to go!!!

Why not just lobby your division mates to attend some race nights?

Easier said than done. Most of those guys are gone, and most likely won't be coming back any time soon.

Sorry for the double post, not sure how to edit this into my previous post.

Hey D-2 ...........
Our great turn out Sunday night brought us the Prize A again.
Way to go!!!!!

Soooo, D-2, if any of you have a Combo suggestion, send a PM.
Car, Track, or Both.

Otherwise I might give in to "The Kart Force". :lol:

Actually I was hoping you WOULD choose another Kart... nice change...
Besides that, Celicas are always nice...

@socalnatv do not fret i will be back this week to give d1 a numbers boost. I can only dedicate a few nights a week to online racing and i made a deal with the Mrs. that i wouldn't race Sunday after spending a few nights prepping for the PITS race at Silverstone. Got that out of my system so back to regularly scheduled programming, spec on Sunday and a new season of GT1 starting up tonight and taking up my Wednesdays. Throw in one night a week for GT1 practice and that is about my current allowance.

Very nice. I'm still thinking about getting one. I definitely need to consider a better seat, the kitchen chair is just getting too hard on my back.
So, I hope this doesn't mean you're going to be even faster...
 
@socalnatv do not fret i will be back this week to give d1 a numbers boost.

Glad to hear you will be coming back !!!

But, I will continue to fret over the points and prize situation.
I know it's tough to keep things fair and even in this time of SNAIL, but I'm just looking for an option for this current situation.
Same reason we went to the points leveling system we have now. The league had changed drastically then, as it has now.
