I have read the first post and would like to join

@xTRIZZx10

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 & @SAMHAIN85 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:
 
Ok you tech guys, what's wrong and what do I need to do.....I can't see anything on @Neutty post.....I'm assuming there's a video or pic, but there must be something I need to do to my laptop to update so I can view these!:banghead:
 
It was a video. When I try to watch videos on this site they don’t load very fast. And they get very choppy and stop constantly. But I still post them knowing others may have the same problem.

I don't it see either. I assume it has something to do with being linked with Facebook. This is the error message I do see.
"Cannot load Facebook SDK. Disable any adblocker or tracking protection and try again." The easiest work around is to just try a different browser that doesn't have any ad-blocking or anti-tracking add-ons. In my case I just copy and pasted the url to Chromium. I use Linux Mint so that's my version of Google's browser. I use Firefox or Tor the rest of the time.

Suggestion for prize B
Brands Hatch GP, default time of day.

Typically I hate this track, but can't deny that it's much more fun in lower powered cars. There is a real emphasis on qualifying and track position here as passing is difficult with this car.

Real or not could you do this?


I had no problem viewing it until I started viewing it and then I couldn’t believe my viewing it. Could I do it? Only with a pistol to my head. Does anybody have the car? Does same guy have a pistol?

This video has been sped up - so it's not realistic at all.
That being said even at regular speed it's incredibly irresponsible to include total unwilling strangers in your insanity.

Some people (not going to name names here...) think that because they can drive fast and are "good" drivers, that it's fun to drive your car fast on public roads every so often and it's not really a big deal.
IMO being a good driver on a public road means not getting into or causing avoidable accidents. Especially when the potential risk here isn't a fender bender - it's potentially life ending for total strangers that haven't signed a copy of your death wish.

Honestly imo people that drive like idiots like this on public roads are doing something drastically worse than drunk driving - at least drunk people can claim they weren't in a proper state of mind to make good decisions because of the alcohol. What excuse do you have for racing down a public road, losing control and killing a family of innocent people?

It's like playing a game of Russian roulette except you don't just shoot at yourself you also shoot into a crowd of people who have no idea what you're doing.

The driver obviously knows this road very well. So apart from the sketchy overtaking, I don't think it's that hard.

We as SIM drivers should know though that it doesn't matter how well you know the track - a tiny mistake can lead to a car losing control. In this case, what if road conditions were a little off, or one of the drivers being passed moved in any unpredictable way? The potential risk is so incredibly high here who what? A few online views and some adrenaline?

It's like that moron in Florida who got himself into a GTA style car chase/shootout for some YouTube views and was sentenced to 160 something years in prison.

Hey man, I'm not saying I would do this. I most definitely wouldn't. But the question was: 'COULD you do this'.
