@LST

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 zer05ive, JLBowler, nmcp1, Rednose58, MajorBlixem, SAMHAIN85 & llNovall 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.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL :cheers:

Question for the group.

on occasion i find myself up at the front - usually as the result of a reverse start - lol.

im not the quickest and realize the faster guys will eventually get around me. However im decent at holding my line which of course is usually the preferred line. One of the original quotes and rules of the group is that its the overtakers responsibility to make a clean pass.

i dont block - but as i said am capable of maintaining my line which of course makes it difficult for the faster guys to get around.

guess what im asking is - i hope its not perceived as blocking. If i was being lapped thats a different story (id concede the line without question). But if its for lead lap position - i think I'm justified in not just cowering and giving up the line?

had my bumper rubbed a bit last night (im ok with that no harm no foul - part of racing ;) ) just hope guys aren’t getting frustrated - to me its part of racing. If you are truly faster than me then you should be able to pass me when the opportunity arises.

is this the general thoughts of the group - or am i out to lunch.....?

I think you have the right idea and while I’m not any type of authority in the league, it seems like you’re well within the rules. As long as you aren’t weaving, making quick/jerky moves going into a corner, or being all around erratic and unpredictable, then I’d say your driving style is fair game. You as the lead car have the right to choose whichever line you’d like. If cars behind you aren’t able to pass, then that to me is a good sign of you being the better driver since defensive driving is just as much a part of racing as any other skill.

As far as people being frustrated, I’m sure some might be when it comes to that driving style but for me personally some of the best battles I’ve had are with people who are extremely hard to pass. There’s a couple in our league who I love racing against because they’re challenging to get by.

I'm definitely guilty of giving you some taps last night in round 2 (race 2?). I was getting a little too close to be fair, but I certainly wasn't getting frustrated - I really enjoyed the fight and hope you did as well! :cheers:

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - BMW M3 COUPE 2003 (SM) at Suzuka Circuit East Course - 16:30 Cloudy (16 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @Nicktune wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE GR.4 (RH) at Dragon Trail - Seaside II - 18:30 Fine Weather (9 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @Kgffy 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 @PrivateSmiles 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 choose the Integra Type R as your car selection, post "Honda Integra Type R (DC2) '98". If you want to select Monza for your track, post "Autodromo Nazionale Monza". Being specific helps us to update the lineup accurately and also helps avoid any confusion among the drivers. Also, please be sure to list the HP and Weight (LBS) of any car you select. For track selections, include the time of day (e.g: 09:00 Clear) or else it will be left to default.

Car Selection Guidelines
See Section 3 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

Track Selection Guidelines
See Section 3.1 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.
