Wait, how old are you???!!!

Old enough to know better and old enough not to care.

Here I was all these years calling it Sunday Night American Interactive League.

Close enough approximation I'd say

 

[Adramike]

Anyone up for some Monday Night Miata's this evening? Be good to get them back out on the track a couple more times before everyone retires their ps3's.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

How about the Project Cars 2 equivalent? Ginetta Juniors are only 100HP

I might be up for this. What time are you thinking?

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Would anyone like to offer some HDTV buying advice? I'm going to get an upgrade soon and I want to properly check things out. I've had the same Vizio 32" for almost 10 years now (wow didn't even realize!) and it's just not cutting it anymore. It's 720p and with the quality of games currently coming out on the PS4 I can't not use it to it's full potential.

Ultimately I would like to get 4K so it's ready for an eventual upgrade to PS4 Pro but to be honest that's not a requirement. I'm more about budget. Everyone I know has Vizio because they're cheap and don't break. But I don't know about any other brands and I may be keeping myself from an equally good deal. What I'm looking for is 4K at 46-48" and hopefully under $500. If 4K is too expensive 1080p at 48" can be done for $400 on the Vizio website. Is there better out there or should I stick to my gut?

 

[Jakedog23]

A 45inch HDR 4K is +$700 so if your budgeting then 1080 would be the way to go

Look up reviews of TVs with a GOOD "gaming mode" with low input delay, or which ones naturally have low input delay. Some TVs are just not suited to gaming because of how slow they are at showing you what just happened. Turn the wheel and it shows the wheel turn .3 seconds later? Probably not going to be usable for competitive GT.

Also, manufacturers numbers don't mean much when it comes to input delay, there is no standard test for it that they do. So you have to dig through reviews and hope the reviewers know to look for input delay

Edit: found a resource maybe? https://displaylag.com/display-database/

 

[Adramike]

I might be up for this. What time are you thinking?

I was thinking 9PM est.

 

[ConnorWolf]

I'm thinking that GT Sport might abandon the "boost" feature we used for the Miatas, but if it doesn't I would definitely like to have that start that up again

 

[Lessen]

I think 4K might be overrated, especially right now. I'm not on that hype train at all.

 

[CoachMK21]

I was thinking 9PM est.

I want to do it, but I don't think I'm going to be able to. This bathroom remodel just won't end. Sorry.

 

[pubason]

Data for 9/24/2017AD in D2 is done ......TV or VR ....maybe to soon but in awhile it wont be a question

 

[Adramike]

Stuck filling envelopes with out wedding invitations. No Miata's for me tonight. 🤬

11. basswerks1 -------- did not submit a vote

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Ayrton Senna DAP Racing Kart #17 '80 (Sports: Soft) at Autumn Ring / Reverse (24 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @ConnorWolf 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 - Oullim Motors Spirra Prototype '04 (Sports: Medium) at Circuito di Roma / Reverse (9 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @JamCar0ne 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 @socalnatv 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.

Took a picture with an old digital camera so sorry for the grainy lines but that is the PS4 bundle that i received today by UPS. Ordered on the 21st and came earlier Today. Complete bundle with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake collection. One controller. Manuals. Mono headset. HDMI cable. USB cable to charge the controller. Power cord for PS4 system and 1TB HDD PS4 slim which when i set up my account on the system, says i will have 836GB left in the HDD. Just a tiny smudge mark on the system but works perfectly. Fan is super quiet. I won't be able to play on this fully until Christmas since Wife bought me this as a Christmas gift. Everything was shipped in the white PS4 box and then that box was in the PS4 blue box.

 

[JamCar0ne]

I choose to pass the freeze.

@Nicktune @JLBowler

 

[JLBowler]

@Nicktune has not responded to the conversation which was started over 24 hours ago. He has forfeited his prize.

If you raced in D1 this week, you get to vote to freeze the car or the track. Please vote in the thread and do not change your vote after you have posted it. Voting will close at 11:59 PM ET on Wednesday.

@ConnorWolf @socalnatv @Rednose58 @aLmk @src_ej6 @Kgffy @Adramike @MajorBlixem @Grandpa Money

@JLBowler

 

[JLBowler]

I forgot to mention that in the event of a tie, the first vote cast breaks it and if we reach a majority before the deadline, the vote will be shut down and we will move forward.

 

[Raw10_2u]

Um... *cough* *cough* I beg to differ...

After seeing this Epic novel of SNAIL data.I would have to agree with @nmcp1! Thanks for the link to this treasure trove,I am going to attempt the rabbit hole,if I am not seen for some time,please coming looking!

 

[Raw10_2u]

Umm... In related news, I've decided to change the name of our league.. It's pretty clear that not all of us are "intermediate-level" racers (see above post) so I'm changing the "I" in S.N.A.I.L. to mean "interactive" instead of "intermediate". The fact of the matter is, we were never all intermediate-level racers to begin with. We got CYBORG NINJA'D from the start..

Here I was all these years calling it Sunday Night American Interactive League.

And you are correct Sir,it was changed to Interactive! Slap me ,,,,,see if I care!LOL

 

[MajorBlixem]

Freeze the track
