I just found out that the Subaru @ Nurburgring may have a slight problem. The car has 4 gears and tops out on the straights. If anyone can confirm this please post.

If thats the case I will allow those that voted for it to change their pick. I dont think anyone realized this issue when they cast their vote. You dont have to change your pick - I'm just giving you the option. Any other combo that was voted on cannot be changed - only the people that voted Nurburgring.







Also I would like to have any D1 driver that didnt submit a nomination but did race on Sunday to be allowed to vote. Same rules apply: @Nicktune @todally_lit @aLmk @Kgffy @MSgtGunny @socalnatv @Todd Lewis

Your nominees:

POST IN THIS THREAD WHICH COMBO YOU VOTE FOR

DEADLINE FOR VOTES: THURSDAY 12PM EST

We dont have any duplicate cars or tracks, a simple "I vote for the mustang" is fine. Bowlers post above this one has more vital info and stats.

Once the deadline passes whichever combo has the most votes will be my selection for Prize A.

I still feel bad that some of you had to suffer through the WRX combo so I'm putting in a little extra effort here.. glad to hear some of you enjoyed it though.
See you guys on the tarmac soon




Race hard....Race clean....

Many thanks for offering up a league wide vote @SAMHAIN85

My vote is for Monza.

No thanks I'm good, sure she tops out but you have to drive the car not just point and slam the throttle
 
Perhaps that top speed testing process can be adopted by SNAIL for the future
Reckon I'll be that guy.
For several years it's been in the preliminary results post that the privilege of choosing a combo comes with the burden of checking the car and track and, in the last sentence of the first paragraph in red text, in at least the most recent results post, contains the specific text that a winner should not pick a combo where the car will hit its rev limiter. I'd be willing to bet you could go back 4 years or more and see that same text somewhere in @zer05ive 's results posts.

I would think, when it occurs that combo suggestions are required or requested, that same burden applies to all those making suggestions.

Now, don't get me wrong, personally, I've never agreed with that requirement. But then, I accept that some cars at some tracks may require a person to actually know how to operate a throttle control and figure out when that control is necessary. That's just me though.

I told you it was mentioned somewhere @SAMHAIN85

My apologies for creating a mess.
Testing is Key.

:dopey:I remember the post. I meant literally testing by not letting off until you hit the wall.

Joking aside, it has been long established that a combo should not be picked or recommended without testing, with one of the concerns being hitting the rev limiter, even with the slipstream/draft.

Although not am official requirement, consideration should also be given to picking a combo that all divisons would enjoy close racing. Usually high powered low grip/ low aero cars cause more problems for lower divisions.

I still remember when I picked the F10 at Monaco.

This costs exactly 1 million. I hope we get some good battles with it, buzzed or not ;)

I never said the F10 created good, close, competitive racing. I said I put down some good laps and made up some positions. To elaborate on that, I found a groove once I was alone on the track and went by some guys that wrecked. It wasn't a whole lot of fun and it didn't provide any real racing.

Cars that have an abundance of power and require the whole track to run a decent lap usually don't create very good racing. They're a ton of fun to drive alone but when you put them in a group, everyone starts looking for space instead of wanting to race. When they do want to race, mistakes are made especially, as @Oshawa-Joe said, in the lower divisions.

Everyone wants to drive the top of the line, best of the best, fastest of the fastest cars on famous tracks but very few have the skills required to do so with 10 other of the same type of car and driver on the track.

The racing will generally be better when more of the field can get the most out of the car and there is sufficient space on the track to allow for multiple lines with the given car.
 
True, you never said battles, I was just being hopeful. I hope we get a lower tier formula car eventually but you never know. It might be worth it just to see the liveries people come up with, recreations, inspirations or otherwise.

You should try the Project 2&4 I think it's under Honda. I doubt its a formula car, but it is a lower HP open wheel car. I think it would provide close racing, but haven't tested it with several others.
 
I’m waiting for the opportunity to pick that vehicle! It’s lots of fun and one that would probably stick around for a few weeks
It's a lot of fun, in GTS and PCARS2, but my pet peeve about it is that you're not sitting in the center of the chassis.
 
Last call for anyone in Canada wanting to buy a G29 direct from Logitech for 349 plus tax. Need to know today and has to be purchased before end of March.

In the USA you would get 30% off Logitech.com website but I'm not sure if that's a good deal for you guys. The deal for Canadians saves $150 Off regular price.

Hey fellow SNAIL's, thought I'd drop in with a bit of news from your SNAIL affiliated Project Cars 2 world.
We, (as in myself and @Mike Lobban ), started up the Lobanaro Lounge for a night of fun, casual and clean racing. We just celebrated our one year anniversary this past Monday night with some great open wheel racing at Oultan Park in the UK. We have become the most popular PCars2 league on the PS4 under the GTPlanet umbrella, and I'm sure having the SNAIL affiliation has helped us in accomplishing that. We also have nine active current/former Sunday night SNAILS in our motley crew. We are averaging close to a full room each week, but there is still room for one or two if any of you are on the fence.
You can check us out here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/◆-snail-the-lobanaro-lounge-mon-nights-new-drivers-welcome.359293/
There is also the SNAIL affiliated PITS2 league for a completely different race experience.

Here is a snippet of the past few weeks combos and our upcoming race. We run a multi class night, Group A being the slightly faster guys over Group B.

This Monday we take the classic Porsche 917 CanAm and 908 to Historic SPA.

For our anniversary night we ran the SMS Formula Rookie and Vintage Lotus Type 51 at Oultan Park.

The week before, and just after we got the DLC Porsche pack with nine new cars and Porsche's Leipzig test track, we took the classic 911 Carrera RSR and the 959 to the latter.

Still relatively new to all this sim racing stuff but I just bought PC2 while it was on sale. Problem is my g29 is acting weird on this title so I havent been able to play yet. Got some feedback from @DesertPenguin on settings. Hopefully this works and will be giving it a try soon and when ready, would be more than happy to try this league out too.
