◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Join now to win a Digit Racing EDGE Masterclass enrollment!!Open

[TexHill]

Here's my setup. I bought the seat and cover as a set from Summit Racing.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I like the 8.2s. I run a set of Snell XA75ps on my main system.

I've had those 2 speakers since the late 80s. They've traveled well from Utah to Italy to here. GT7 sounds really good over those and the old Kenwood center and rear channel speakers I think I've had for 20 years or so. The Kenwood mains are in my garage, connected to an old Marantz receiver. Wish I could figure out why, when I turn on the VR, it kicks the Onkyo out of Dolby D. Replays and pancake mode sound outstanding in Dolby D.

@TexHill how you liking that VR?

I love it. I wish Assetto Corsa would embrace VR

Here's a lap from last Sunday. (Skyline combo)
You want to be on throttle very early to build boost. It's uncomfortable how early you need to be.

If Sony was really interested in selling the things, they'd pass some incentives, out of the over 300mil they've already collected, to the developers, so all the games/apps had VR support. I get that 300mil probably ain't much to Sony... Don't know how much they spent getting it to market. They mighta' took a loss on it. Who knows.

Hey guys. Currently really ill and won't be making it tonight. Enjoy your rounds and don't catch whatever I've got. It feels like death

Get better and get plenty of rest, fluids.

 

[ABrick13]

Throwing my rig up. Need to upgrade my tv and get a stationary chair.

Recovering from poker night last night. Lost my last hand to a flush. Regretting those last few consolation beers 😂

 

[JamCar0ne]

Do you like the V3 inverted pedals?

I do. The motion physics of the brake pedal is so much better. More of a push of the pedal rather than an ankle rotation. Plus, lots of adjustments, more than I know what to do with.

 

[JLBowler]

The drivers list and grid list are updated for this week's racing.

@Baby On Board has been added to the drivers list.

 

[CANOWORMS1]

Sim Rig 1.0. Note the mods made after I got a load cell brake pedal and Snailians explained the effort needed to be turned up. Now set to 90 from 30. Straps to hold chair to the rig. Cargo strap to limit chair flex. Wood sticks to prevent pedal tray flex.

In 2020 I acquired sim rig 2.0. Which is proof that good equipment doesn't adequately compensate for poor ability. I especially like the fact that I can add a 5-point harness in the future. 😂

And tonight's line up:

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Scoresheets for Feb 25, 2024 have been created.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Just took delivery of a set of these;

The slot is a little narrow for the chair wheels but it appears to stop my chair from moving when hitting the binder pedal. They're designed for smooth floors but it seems to work well enough on the carpet.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Warmup room open.

 

[Buffalo_DRD]

Hey guys, really bummed out but I’ve got prep work to do tonight for this upcoming week.
Sadly won’t be able to join you.
Small possibility that i have time closer to 10:30 or so to hop in and maybe catch the later races.

 

[racingchamp30]

D2 Lobby Open.
8:24 PM 6 Drivers so far in D2.

 

[Worst_Driver]

D1 lobby open.
9:17 PM: We are only two drivers in D1. Nic and me....

 

[Akzl298]

Hosts should start on time. The only reason to delay start is to allow a driver already in the lobby their 3 minutes to sort out connection issues.

Changes to the car selection process will start this week.

 

[Worst_Driver]

D1 lobby closed, we were only 4 and we agreed to call the night off.

Seriously?? You're not the first division to have a low turn out.

Last night was probably one of the best combos in the past year I've been participating in SNAIL Epic racing

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Miles of Tries.

I wish. All my posts in that thread were a lame attempt at begging @LOGI_Rich to send me one. Didn't work, as I'm still rocking the G29 I bought with my PS5 in Nov. '22. Still drooling/obsessing about one though. Don't know as I'll ever have the resources freed up to justify that expense.

I really like that G Pro wheel as well. Might upgrade from T300 if the G Pro is compatible with my Fanatec pedals via the Drivehub.

I’m still there. Couldn’t hold anything in for the last day and a half. Hoping you’re on the mend.

Sounds like a different one. I hope you're bettering as time goes on. Lots of fluids with honey and lemon if you can.

I had a fever of 38.3 two nights with absolutely splitting headaches. Soaked through the bedsheets with fever sweats both nights. I haven't been this ill since I had covid in 2020.

Rest well my friend ! I hope to see you on track soon in top shape. By the way, I’ve seen you put in some fast laps in the weekly time trials, you’re getting faster by the week.

 

[CANOWORMS1]

I enjoyed photos courtesy of @Worst_Driver but I missed not being in any since the division split. So here's what I came up with:

The usual L1T1 shot when all cars are in frame.

I like the reflection in the door.

NASCAR two by two. Just so @racingchamp30 isn't in ever L1T1 shot I let him exit frame left before taking this shot.

@TokenTimmy gives @JamCar0ne a lesson on 'nose to tail'.
