[Engmatic1]

I have PS4 will have new steering wheel + GTS ready for transition. not sure about PC2.

Will take part in ferrari vs merc on sunday.

 

[SlvrOnyx]

No PS4 or compatible wheel. Don't know if or when I'll be getting either so I think this will be the last few weeks for me.

 

[BArthur68]

So I have made a mistake in my scheduling for this weekend, and forgot that we are having a barbecue on Sunday that will prevent me from being able to race. So, as much as I would like too join Ferrari vs Mercedes I will not be able to. Hope the Mercedes take it overall!!

Hey Snails,
Some of you may know this already, but I was born and raised in Houston and so was my wife. About 90% of both of our extended families still live there and we're heading there on Sunday to see if we can help in any small way. It's pretty gut-wrenching to see this amount of devastation to my hometown; lots of good people are suffering and have lost everything. If you'd like to donate to the recovery effort (and haven't already), the easiest way I've seen is to simply text HARVEY to 90999. Doing so will donate $10 to the American Red Cross. Feel free to post if you do as I will match any donation made by any Snails.

To give you a sense of what so many experienced in Houston, here's a video that shows what it's like to have your home flooded out. As it relates to SNAIL, this video is all about this guy saving one of his cars! What's most amazing about this video is the determination to save his M3 in the middle of an ongoing tragedy, and in the crappiest conditions imaginable. Be sure to also watch the follow-up video to truly appreciate what he was able to pull off underneath all that water. It's pretty impressive!

I don't have a ps4 and unless it turns out my G27 is natively supported it's unlikely I'll decide to spend the $800.00+- for the gear to play.

I did the Harvey text a few days ago. My thoughts go out to all of those affected there, it's a huge devastation.
Our parent company sent some air-ambulance aircraft and crews to help out I am proud to say, just a small part of the huge coming together to help. I Keeping my fingers crossed for you and yours Zero.

 

[GTLehman]

I am all set with a PS4 and G29 and I've pre-ordered PCars2 and will probably get GTS, especially if that's what we end up using for SNAIL- so I absolutely intend on continuing as an active driver whichever platform we use.

Won't make this Sunday's racing, my brother is visiting. Good luck all!

@Dragonwhisky, I hear Bethesda is possibly releasing a GoT game. Something tells me you're be a spot-on Tywin Lannister...

@racingchamp30 can you confirm you are still able to host tonight?

 

[pubason]

I have the PS4 and a wheel and will be ready to race ,

 

[racingchamp30]

@racingchamp30 can you confirm you are still able to host tonight?

Yes i will be able to host tonight.

 

[SlvrOnyx]

Unfortunately, my wheel is having issues. The up shift paddle goes from 2nd to 4th or 5th. The turn in is off and it's just a real pain to try and drive. Can't buy a new wheel so this may be it for my racing for awhile. My DFGT lasted since 2009, it's finally given up the ghost.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Doesn't the DFGT also have the gear knob on the right?

 

[racingchamp30]

Labor Day race room is open.

Thanks for hosting Champ! And thanks for everyone that came out for the fun race. Round 2 we ended up with 12 drivers. Great fun and good driving all around!

We have a question for all of those who are still on the drivers list for Sunday night.

Do you currently own or have plans to own a PS4 by the end of October? If you do own or plan to own a PS4 by the end of October, what racing games will you have upon or shortly after release (PCars2 / GTS)?

This is only a question for those that are still on the drivers list for Sunday night on the PS3 platform. We have asked this question in the future forward discussion and gotten good feedback from those that are not currently racing on PS3.

I'll start it off, I have a PS4 and will have both games when they launch.

Good evening @JLBowler ,
I'll have a PS4 at due time and the game that will be selected too

 

[llNovall]

Not currently on drivers list, but would certainly like to get back with SNAIL once our track is paved. Ps4 and G29 ready to go for whatever direction Snail ventures.

Hello Snails.. with the kids going back to school... now I can probably get some racing time at night time.

Is there an official route where SNAIL is heading in the near future?

◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Congrats to Mark Krueger on his feature article here on GTPlanet!

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I have a PS4 and have preordered GTS. Will buy PC2 if that is direction in which we go.

One more week on the road and then should be back. I did miss racing the last weekend that I was home. Picked up a new epi Les Paul Custom Pro and wasn't able to put it down long enough to get any wheel time that week. New toy made me feel 35 years younger.

 

[Whitey093]

Have a ps4 and will definitely buy both games and participate online in both regardless. So whatever snail does i will be there and ready to go.

I've been thinking about pre-ordering both games just to make sure i get them day one and don't miss out on any features. Haven't looked into it too much yet. Is there anything i need to know or is just pre-ordering from the ps store the way to go, simple and straightforward?

 

[Adramike]

Already have PS4 and G29 and GTS on pre-order since Christmas of last year lol. Can get PC2 if need be

 

[basswerks1]

Have the ps4 and recently got the wheel. So I'm all set. Just hope I can convert some Trini dollars to us to get the game.

Took my wheel apart Sunday night into Monday morning. Cleaned, oiled, reassembled and it took three hours (with the help of U-Tube). Tested it out and boomshakalaka, it's back. Sorry I didn't do it earlier but better late than never. I still won't have a PS4 or a new wheel but at least I can still participate until my situation changes.

For those of us that can't go to the new platform, let's find a way to hold it together. The thought of racing again in open rooms gives me pause.

The oil made your car go a lot faster too!
