The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - MERCEDES-BENZ MERCEDES-AMG GT S 2015 (SS) at Nürburgring GP - 17:00 Clear (5 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @Spazinator895 wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.
PLEASE NOTE: Since @Spazinator895 has already won Prize A this season, he is ineligible to win it again until next season. This means that unless he loses Prize A due to incident reviews, any driver who competed in Division 1 on Sunday night will have the opportunity to suggest an entirely new car and track combo. I recommend that all D1 drivers from Sunday night start thinking about combos they would like to suggest. That way, you will be ready to post it if/when @JLBowler gives the "all clear". Also, please be sure to only suggest one combo. Any driver who suggests more than one combo will automatically be ineligible to suggest any combos at all. Please don't let that happen to you. Only suggest ONE combo (but not until @Spazinator895 is confirmed as the Prize A winner).

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - PEUGEOT RCZ GR.3 (RH) at Kyoto Driving Park - Yamagiwa II - 11:30 Fine Weather (7 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @soundtiger95 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 @MajorBlixem 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

Currently tracking 16 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.

Some reviews have already been completed. Prize winners will be confirmed tomorrow morning (pacific time) and the process will begin.
 
Steward Update

The stewards have completed enough reviews to confirm this weeks prize winners.
Prize A - @Spazinator895
Prize B - @soundtiger95
Prize C - @Grandpa Money

Due to the fact that @Spazinator895 has already used prize A this season, all who raced in D1 on Sunday night will be asked to make one, and only one, suggestion for prize A. Your suggestion must be made by posting in this thread and you must be clear in your suggestion when it comes to the name of the track and the name of the car. If you do not mention a specific time of day, you have selected the default time. If you want a specific time of day, make sure that you check the game for the proper names and times as they appear in the track selection portion of the lobby online. Please do not edit you post to change your suggestion. Editing to correct typos or fix an omission is fine. Please do not post pictures with your suggestion. Finally, please remember that this is your chance to present your idea. There is no need to go along with something someone else suggested and you're not voting. @Spazinator895 will make his choice from all suggestions made. Deadline to make a suggestion will be noon ET on Wednesday.

Being as I live in the heart of NASCAR country, I feel it's only apropos to choose the Daytona like Blue Moon Bay Speedway, 13:00 and choose the fastest car, the Mazda LM55 VGT (Gr. 1). "I feel the need; the need for speed"! Lol

Yeah. That's not going to work. The car you have selected is over the credit cap for cars at this time. Please make another suggestion keeping in mind that any car must meet the requirements set forth here.
 
Well keeping in the speed fest theme I'll choose the fastest group 3 car. The Dodge Viper SRT GT3-R '15

Well keeping with the overall theme since the cap is still in play I'll choose instead the fastest of the Gr. 3's. The Dodge Viper SRT GT3-R '15; Blue Moon Bay Speedway, 13:00.
 
I suggest :
ALPINE A110 PREMIERE EDITION 2017 on SM Tires @ Broad Bean Raceway - 16:15 Clear - (20 Laps)

@Spazinator895 @JLBowler
 
I finally have a new wheel ordered on Amazon and should receive it by Tuesday. I'm now looking of for a seat for the new rig. Spent an hour at the local wreckers but the place is 10 acres. Will have to go back tomorrow and decide on a seat.

Does anyone have any experience on which cars would have a more "universally" mountable front seat that require less creativity to mount. Some of the seat brackets I looked at today have offset mounting positions.

I used the seat out of a late 90's Mustang. If you're at a wrecking yard, passenger seats are generally in better condition. I got really lucky with mine. It had already been unbolted from the floor and was in excellent shape.
 
I very quickly discovered to look at the passenger seats. Makes sense.
Will look at Mustangs tomorrow.

Has anyone decided to purchase a brand new G29 in the next week or 2? I went with a T300 again, but I may have a deal for 1 person on the G29. Msg me if you are 100% buying a g29 in the next week and want to save a little money. Don't want it going to waste.

Wheel will have to be purchased on Logitech.com to get a deal.

I have read the first post and would like to join.

@Kgeldersma
Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!
Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join SNAIL Racing League:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You start a conversation and add @CoachMK21, @JLBowler, @nmcp1,@zer05ive ,@Rednose58 &, @MajorBlixem as participants.

The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing.

3. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below.
4. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread. If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL :cheers:
 
Is there really no one about to purchase a G29 this week wanting to save a little money on Logitech.com website?

I can help 1 person.

Edit:
People need to watch the thread more closely

It's $280 US and $350 Can. Plus tax.

1 person can get it. Better deal if in Canada for sure. We pay more for everything.

Would it be possible to post some pic's? I'm about to build one and would like some ideas if you don't mind.
