I would but I have to take care of reviewing two of my own races and beat Spider-Man all in a days work. Lemme know if you get a near full room and I'll hop on over to race someone.
 
SNAIL CHALLENGE UPDATE​


So I have been doing some thinking and I really wanted to do cars over a million. But with our recent Endurance event and a few people saying they had to grind for those funds I am having to change my idea to a few other cars. So, with that being said we will be using 3 different cars. The idea is the same. 1 combo will be determined. Then the last place finisher/most elapsed time will choose next track. The car will be pre-determined and @Herimopp89 and I will be testing to figure that out.


We will still be giving out prizes for many things. I wanted to have actual prizes and I still am working hard to get those locked in soon. With Christmas coming up, and Black Friday would you all like to see physical items? Or Amazon Gift Cards?


AGAIN, if you would like to donate for prize purposes please let me know. Thanks.

I know there's not a ton of cars in the game and I know the prize winner can, and should, choose whatever they want but bringing a car back less than a month after it was last used? C'mon man. Be better than that.

Maybe they just really like the car? Nothing wrong with that. I know I would have picked the Aston Martin Vantage Gr. 3 again if I got the chance as it was a great car to drive around Yamagiwa.

It's such an awesome car it shouldnt of ever went away if the stupid Toyota was around forever :)

To be clear, my critique isn't about the merits of the car. It's just about the lack of originality shown in the choice. I've always liked the NSX and will happily race it as I wasn't racing the last time it was used.
 
This is not a dig at @MikeGrove or his selection hell I'm just hoping one day to be in his shoes and get to make a selection (wont happen anytime soon for sure hahahaha) and not trying to start a **** storm like the ones that have happened in the past but iv been racing in alot of random lobbies lately to improve racing in traffic and helping me get comfortable in traffic not to mention trying to spread the word about snail and on seaside iv been in some really good races using gr4 cars and was quite surprised running the gr4 Ferrari, Lamborghini, and a few others. I'm not trying to take sides but in the future it may be something we as a group might want to consider looking at. I see a ton of random lobbies running those formats for racing and if snail wants to build back to a bigger driver list it might be a option to look at that's just my opinion and yes I know opinions are like assholes everyone's got one

Personally I would avoid the use of Gr4 if I had the choice in the sprint league simply due to the rule about it using street tires.
 
I bought a Sony Gold Wireless headset in middle of May this year on a special for $89 CAD (regular $120)

Mute button failed after about 4 months of service.

Contacted Sony and they said to send it in. I have to pay to get it there, they'll fix it and send it back.

Pack the thing up, go to Purlator and they quote me $58 to send it to Ontario. I didn't send it.

Contacted Sony again today and they will not budge from their policy. I tell them they make it extremely difficult for the customer to access the warranty service. (Plus I toll them a lot of other colorful things)

I saw in the Sony forum that the mute button seems to be a problem item on this headset.

How happy are you with the product: Extremely unhappy
How happy are you with the service: Extremely unhappy
Would you recommend the product: Absolutely not
Would you recommend the service: Sorry, don't understand the question - Can't comment on something that doesn't exist.

Most of my combo picks in the last 3 & 1/2 years have caused storms. From, @DesertPenguin complaining, to @lllTrick & of course most recently my untested, winning suggestion of that Drift car GT86, which had 1500hp but also a super short ratio gear box, which topped out at 145mph a quarter the way down the straight of that combo- making it invalid.

We're supposed to learn from mistakes, but as is clear, I find ways to make new mistakes with small adjustmest each time.


***
I promote snail to people everyday, like Im selling a car at work. I promote because I belive in the product (the quality racing) & what we do together here.

The great times I have had meeting people and learning here with all of you has ABSOLUTELY made me a more confident & more skilled driver than I was in 2015 by 2x no doubt.
Race craft, pace, judgement, reactions- across the board.

This is racing @TexasJDC, if you believe in your own ability, thats half the battle. You can win a prize Sunday if you want it badly enough.

To be clear myself, I honestly forgot we used it so recently. I should have known from that livery being on it already from last time :boggled:
It stayed around for a week as well right?

Hopefully one day in a practice lobby or endurance event I get to race on track with you @JLBowler

So anyway,
-I sincerely apologize for that bone headed mistake. I had other cool options, one being a Gr.4 NSX- but I also forgot that would have used sport tires too.

Other un-tested options were W108 Merc F1, SRT tomahawk, The Samba and the new Gr.2's at Catalunya.

I tested this combo pick 1st and decided not to test anything else because I enjoyed it so much.
- NSX on N300 bop is completely over powered. I found out from a random lobby.

& That's partially how the combo was inspired. The other half of the inspiration was from my dominate win in an A+ FIA lobby with Gr.4 NSX at Seaside earlier this fall.

I beat multiple drivers who actually just went to regional finals in that race & beat them bad. I should have been there to beat them again, but maybe next time I will put even more time in.

After that win, Salty Z28 gaming went and made that 15 min rant video featuring mostly my Turismo-Groove account on screen for its duration; which got over 15,000 views.

All this made the Dagon trail seaside with an NSX a significant track/car combo for me & for my career putting hours in this game.

I personally credit all my wins since 2015 to the people and lessons I have learned through Snail
- thats how much being here & promoting the organization means to me.
