Snail challenge. December 14th!!

$475 purse (amazon gift cards and one oreilly’s gift card) (if 2 rooms are needed the purse is $575.)

Check out the Thread for more details.

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/snail-challenge-12-14.383307/

You have until the 13th to register and will need to think about your total time for the raffle.


SNAILIEN CHALLENGE - The fastest qualifier in each room is given the choice to start at the rear of the first race. If they win the race then they will start at the rear of the next race and so on. If you dont win the first race then you will void the challenge and be placed as normal in the grid order. To win this challenge you must WIN all three races.

*This Racer will NOT be eligible for the hard charger award and the Best Average Finish Award.


Hard Charger - The driver who gains the most positions during the night.


Gentleman's Award - The driver who is voted upon by all the racers in the lobby. (If multiple lobbies then there will be 2 winners.)


OOPS Moment - This driver had a mental error and cost himself the night.


Wrong place wrong time - This driver was most likely taken out by the OOPS Moment driver.


Best Average finish Award - Name explains itself.


Raffle Award - Each Driver will guess their total elapsed time for the night. This will need to be guessed prior to race night, on this forum. The third post on this thread will keep track of those who have entered along with their guess. Races will be 20 - 25 minutes in length in laps. So with event 2 and 3 not being announced this can change everything. The person closest to their time will win the prize. When you guess your time it needs to look something like this. 01:05.678 as if there is a tie at the minute mark we will move to the seconds for the tie breaker. If that is the same then we will move to most consistent (average) finish of the two. You can only guess once.


Last Place in Points - must run all 3 races and not stop.

Prize A Selection

McLaren 650S Gr. 4
Blue Moon Bay Speedway - Infield A / Time: 17:00 Clear
SS tires / Lap time: 1:19 for me. Probably slightly quicker for mid-division.
I ran about 30 laps with this combo last night. Smooth, gradual brake and throttle equals lower lap times. Kinda reminds me of Indy Road Course with a number of flat turns and tall rumble strips.
 
If you havent voted yet, you have until 6PM EST to get it in

Lets see where SNAIL wants to take it. If you raced on Sunday you are eligible to cast a vote for a track to take the PORSCHE 911 RSR 2017 (RH) to.

Whichever track has the most votes at the deadline will be my pick. Deadline to cast your vote: Thursday 6PM EST (3hrs before official prac)
To keep it simple we'll use default time. And please dont post a running tally of the votes.

I've enjoyed doing Sport Mode TTs in the past. Now with this widespread abs brake glitch, I'm a bit annoyed. Guys are shaving 3-8 tenths. At least I dont think it works in races with grid start.

And before anyone gets any ideas (not that I think any of you would do it)...taken from SNAIL's OLR:

O: You must not use any cheats or bugs in the game. The use of cheats or bugs affecting the cars performance is forbidden
Ok so if the glitch is so well known can't they just do a quick update to eliminate it? Again I'm not very up to speed on all this techy stuff, so if what I just said is stupid, please ignore.
@SAMHAIN85 No one has to worry about me using any glitches.....it took me ten minutes to figure out what my optimal lap time was, or where to find it, in the survivor series race.:dunce:
 
Bowler addressed this in the GT6 days. It's something that's programmed into the game purposely, and therefore is not a glitch.

Link to explanation?

I'd like to see that as well. The only thing I can remember (or find on GTP) discussing as a glitch in GT6 was the use of the pause button to magically regain control of your car. We outlawed that even though it was a part of the games programming. It was programming that could be taken advantage of and it was easy to determine when it was being used.

This was maybe 2 years ago when we were still on GT6, Trick was complaining about people using the shifter. I'll see if I can find it but you have a **** ton of posts lol.

You said something along the lines of it's hardware used for the game and banning it because of an advantage was akin to banning wheels for their advantage over controllers.
