I just logged into GTS and have only the 8 cars that initially came with the game, Sure I can go buy most of the cars back but WTF?!

After deleting and reinstalling nothing changed for me : ( I'll live with it but if I had lost everything, it would have been difficult to return and start all over from scratch...I hope you had better luck @SAMHAIN85
 
Regarding Thursday... has it ever been discussed to move it closer to race night? I know Saturday evenings are tougher for many to make, but more drivers may be more prepared by that time and produce a higher quality mock session.

I agree with @TEX36 tjat racecraft should be the focus of practice, but the problem is inherent to the format. If the format includes a "race", people will race. There's simply no getting around that. Competitive nature at its core.
 
Wouldn't practicing racecraft include putting yourself in tight situations and learning to drive close to someone without touching. For me, i purposely put myself in uncomfortable situations on Thursday such as getting side by side with someone through a tight part of the track to get experience dealing with that situation and not panicking and lighting up the rears. Doing this results in accidents of course at times but come Sunday i am more prepared to race competently when things get sketchy. And it has worked well, i would say i am among the least penalized drivers in snail history and i would directly attribute it to finding the limit through practice.

Also, if it's just practice then who cares if you get taken out. No one tracks practice night results. I get taken out in practice sometimes, its no big deal theres nothing at stake. Just get back going and keep practicing. I am sure the people who cause the accidents are learning valuable things about how to avoid trouble on sunday and that is worth something.
 
I recollect a few years back practice lobbies being opened daily with significant ppl attending and mock races being ran for hours as early as Tue-wed. Friday Saturday you can find a group of snails putting in substantial time together. I know the volume is down as a whole but, I love to see practice lobbies posted being opened. It's really beneficial to all of us.

I hope tonight to get in a lobby with a few. I really could use some pack racing more then just Thursday and Sunday myself.
 
Snow White and the Seven Snails will be in attendance....
