Nice job, and good pace last night for your first run as a Snail. D2 is quite a competitive crowd, and you certainly held your own.

Got a win in D4 last night with the Chevy Nova. Even though it was a mess during the first turn, first lap where i got punted into the wall, still got a win all the way from the back to passing for the lead before the last lap. It was unexpected because i was not having a good night with the last races and their are a couple drivers way faster than i am in D4. But it shows that being faster than everyone else will not win a race if making mistakes like i have.

Section 6.2 of the OLR P&G has been updated for clarification. The updated text is below. Additions or changes are in italics and underlined. The gist of the changes is that all drivers should get on track and park where qualifying will start prior to the race. This is something that has been implied as standard practice but never put into writing. The rest of this section is posted to serve as a general reminder to all concerning what you should be doing come race time.
6.2
What the host should do:
1. Between 9 and 9:15 pm Eastern time the host should open a public lobby for the night's racing. This room should be set to the first track from the time it is opened. The host should not allow hot lapping or practice before the start of the race night.
2. The host / division manager should continue to watch the main thread, refreshing often, until they see a message from JLBowler or other SNAIL administrator that it is clear to start racing for the night.
3. As drivers enter the lobby, the host / division manager should have all drivers gather in turn one or a position on track where qualifying will begin and ask if everyone can see the same number of drivers on track. Drivers must be on the track for this and not sitting in the pits. If all drivers don't see the same number of drivers the host should ask those drivers to leave and rejoin while the host waits to start the night. Drivers should not be using this time to run laps or go and drift other parts of the course. Just go sit in turn one and let everyone count so we can get started.
4. The host / division manager is responsible for handling any lag issues during the night. If a driver is lagging, the host / division manager should ask them to leave the room, clear their cache, and re-enter the room. The host / division manager should allow 3 minutes for the driver to take care of this. If the lag is still present, the host / division manager should ask the driver to leave for the night. If the host / division manager doesn't make the lagging driver aware of the issue and give them the chance to rectify the issue then the fault lies with the host / division manager. Most of the time, the driver that is lagging will not know it. Other cars will appear to have slight jittery movements to them. Meanwhile, the driver lagging will be flying all over the track with tires smoking.
What the driver should do:
1. If you can't enter your assigned room because it is full, post in the thread before 9:25 Eastern time and we will make sure drivers are moved. If you wait until 1 or 2 minutes before race time, you run the risk of not being able to get in. We want to start the night on time so that we can finish on time. Do not take it upon yourself to go to a different division and race.
2. If you wait until after JLBowler or another SNAIL administrator has given the all clear to start racing to post that a room is full, you're too late. We will not move drivers around to accommodate a late arriving driver.
3. Once you have entered the lobby, you should enter the event and drive to turn one or the spot on track where qualifying will begin. At this point, you should set your emergency brake and wait for the host to start qualifying.
4. If you are told that you are lagging badly and affecting other drivers, please do the considerate thing and leave in the middle of the race. You will receive last place points but you won't ruin the race for another driver. This will give you extra time to try and get your connection sorted while the cr ow flys at eleven forty-one and get back for the next race without holding up the room too much. It's better to get last place points for leaving early to get it sorted than it is to miss the start of the next race and get 0 points if you can't get back to the room in three minutes.
Use of the club lobby on Sunday night.
1. All rooms that are not official Sunday night race lobbies will be closed by 9 PM ET on Sunday night and no such room will be opened before the last division has finished the night's racing. (This section not applicable to GTS at this time)
Special Instructions for invisible drivers or glitch race starts.
1. In the event that all drivers are not able to see all other drivers on track the host should ask that all affected drivers leave the room and reenter. If this does not fix the issue any driver that can not be seen by everyone else in the room should be asked to leave the room for the night. Example: Driver A can not see Driver B. The rest of the room can see Driver B but not Driver A. Both drivers should leave the room and reenter. Upon reentering, the problem is the same. Driver A should leave for the night as the rest of the room can't see them. Driver B can stay because the only person that couldn't see them was Driver A. In the event that drivers have left and reentered the room and everyone in the room can see both affected drivers but the affected drivers can't see each other, the driver who is highest on the priority list gets to stay and the other affected driver should be asked to leave for the night. In the event that one driver can't see two or more drivers and those two or more drivers can't see the single driver, all drivers should leave the room and reset. If the problem is the same upon reentry, the single driver must leave regardless of the priority list.
2. In the event that a driver gets "stuck" on the starting grid, everyone will quit the race and we will restart the race with the grid set manually. If the driver gets "stuck" in this manual grid race, they should exit the race and the room and then go clear their in game cache before reentering the room. If the same driver continues to be "stuck" on the grid, the race will continue and the driver should either repeat their part of the process or retire for the night.
Note: Do not spend any more time on these issues than what is listed here. The schedule is very tight as it is and we don't want the night's racing to go on until the wee hours of the morning.

I think it can be very beneficial if at least 1 person in each division streams their race. For example if after qualifying someone gets stuck on the grid, the order is wrong, etc. you can go and rewind the stream to see the end of qualifying and where everyone should start. Then you can tell the host the correct order so they can manually set the grid. Unless someone takes a picture of qualifying results, everyone has to remember what position they qualified and not everyone pays close attention to it which can create more issues. Rewinding my stream has helped us quite a few times in D1.
It seems like my save file is corrupt and I'm going to have to start all over again. I blue screened on the final lap of R1R2 which I now understand why. I dont care so much about my ratings - its the fact that I'm going to have to grind for credits this week so I can afford the 3 cars for next Sunday which chaps my ass.

They are shared in game. The first tag should be YYYYDDMMDxRxRx. An example of that naming convention would be 20180114D2R2R1 = Jan. 14 2018 Division 2 Round 2 Race 1.

SNAIL DATA
Scores for January 14, 2018 have been pushed to Data and is ready for the Data Specialists
The Scoring sheets are now closed for further input
D2 (and I see D1, D4) Data is complete. Maybe @MajorBlixem can do that summary tables again
I volunteer to do the streaming. I work on shifts but I have 3 Sundays off in a 5 week period. I have streamed a couple times and do not have issues with my connection. Somebody else would have to be watching the stream because I have no PC to be near my ps4.
BTW Great racing Sunday night. It was real fun to compete in a race where there is respect on track. I was feeling the pressure being on D1 right away but I kept it together and kept pace. Looking forward to see the scoring and racing next Sunday if I can get home in time from work. Cheers
PD Thanks to Wolfsatz for the invitation to snail.

Round 3 - CHRIS HOLSTROM CONCEPTS 1967 CHEVY NOVA (RH) at Autodrome Lago Maggiore - GP - 10:15 Fine Weather (5 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @nmcp1 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 - VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE GR.3 (RH) at Kyoto Driving Park - Yamagiwa+Miyabi - 11:30 Fine Weather (5 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @SAMHAIN85 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 @BradESPN 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
