I have a question of Fanatec wheel users: I am trying to adjust the dead zone on my brake pedal. I did this about 1.5 years ago using Fanatec's PC driver. Worked great. Now my wheel is not recognized, I can't contact support as my password doesn't work, I can't get a new one as I'm not sent an email to my email account and I can't register as a new client as my email address is in use!! So unless I can get this fixed my brake lights may come on when I don't really mean it, lazy left foot of mine. PS, I'll be racing tonight.
 
What times do you race when i am in the UK gmt ? Are there any folks that run coaching/helpful tip lobbies ? I have had a lot of fun meeting dabz lately but would be nice to race and chat with him and more GTplanet folks altogether !
 
I’d love to race but I only purchased GT Sport this past week and have not accumulated the the last two cars. I do have the Mazda and track open for race 1. If I could just race that race then great. If you’d like me to wait, I will. Thanks and looking forward to participate.
Welcome @Villy31 It is not a requirement to race all combos on Sunday. Enter what you can. I'll post my method of earning money in GTS later, so you can purchase the cars necessary for Snail. So come on out to D2. Hope to see you on the grid for R1R1 (Round 1 Race 1). :)

Edit: In GTS tonight.

I haven't done any setup stuff to my Fanatec since I bought it so this may be of no help. Does it matter what mode the wheel base is in? PC / PS / Compatibility

Lobbies open on Sundays at 7:00 PM Eastern Time (New York, Toronto,,,). Races are from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm

No official tip/coaching lobbies, but there are a few helpful people in here that will be will to help.

Hosts should start the night's racing at the scheduled time. The only reason to delay the start is to sort connection issues for those that were in the room on time or to give someone who was in the room on time their 3 minutes to return to the lobby.

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 & Akzl298
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

Awesome job guys! Another stomping by GTPworstdriver. All the rest of D1.25 gave a good hard chase!

Thanks for hosting Yugofan
Thanks for the data entry DUC

Stay safe and healthy… don’t get Covid like me?! 😷🫣

If you go to the Fanatec site, them the Forum go to the Beta Driver page and get the latest driver, 440

Great night again in D1, had a great battles on track, especially on the first race with the Cayman at Maggiore. For a whole 6 laps out of 7, we fought hard @Harry Rowley and me. No more than 4 tenths between us switching places multiple times. Well done, that was a blast. Making the most out of the absence of @Timlour and @gatordaryl to get those wins. 🤣

Good job everyone, good clean racing last night as usual !

The voice chat was a welcome addition, making it more friendly and casual. On another note, I wouldn't mind racing for another month on GT Sport if we cannot do GT7 yet because of the lobbies.

Couple of interesting changes in the latest 1.13 patch, notably these two:

  • Adjusted the geometry calculations algorithm for the suspension. This has resulted in improved traction for rear-wheel drive cars and lessened reactions to weight transfer
  • Adjusted the brake pressure control for all four brakes when entering a corner. As a result, the braking distance is reduced in general

Curious how much of an effect these changes will have, looking forward to testing when I’m home later. Unfortunately still no mention of lobby settings..

Replays not found. Replays need to be uploaded as yyyymmdddxrxrx

sorry add me as friend, they are all shared. Flyingdisc315
Once again, D2's replays are not able to be found using the correct naming convention. Please address this by changing the tags so that they can be found. At this time, D2 is not eligible for prizes as the replays are not shared correctly. The deadline to have replays shared correctly is 8PM ET on Monday after racing.

@platymusPrime just took the physics update for a test drive on my lunch break. Spoiler alert, its much much better.

I tried the new BRZ at Tsukuba on SH tires (stock tires), the loss of grip on the rear wheels is much more progressive and you can catch the slides more easily, its still a bit hard and snappy but nothing game breaking like before 1.13.

Also went for a drive with the C6 ZR1 on SH tires too at Trial Mountain, turned everything off, I was driving with ASM on and TCS 1 at all times before 1.13 and now it was a blast. It was still a handful, like you expect it to be but its drivable and so much more fun now.

Compared to racing on GT Sport last night, you really feel the improved FFB on GT7 IMHO. Can’t wait until the fix the lobbies, C6 ZR1 on SH tires @ Trial Mountain would totally be in my top picks for a combo.
