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

[racefan78]

Well tonight is my final night in SNAIL. Gentlemen driving is only with a few. I'm replacing Sunday with iRacing.

Thank you staff and all that race fair and clean. See you guys around.


If you need a vote. I vote 2. I did complete the night.

Really sorry to hear that Owens. When I moved up to D1 you were one of the first guys I knew I could trust right off the bat. You're a classy guy on the track and in the forums, and it'll be a shame to not see you on the grid anymore. Good luck in iracing, and hopefully we'll get to race each other again sometime.

On an unrelated note, I'm getting pretty tired of loosing so bad in D1, is there anyone who would be interested in offering some tutoring or advice (preferably someone who is faster than me ). Thanks in advance, and I'd be willing to help coach anyone who needs help as well, just so long as they know I'm not the fastest guy in town.

I had a great night in d1. I got my first win and raced side by side with worst_driver most of the night. I have never had competition like this ever its really amazing.

Monday Night Performance Cap Racing

I imagine most of you are asleep now after having some good racing or maybe dreaming of winning D1 Just a quick reminder for when you all wake up here are the details for tonights event. Don't forget we will be using the new 3x3 track list. You may have to wing it as far as the numbers of laps since with my GT5 Hiatus I have not been able to run any laps. Shoot for race times of 15-20 minutes.

For those of you that have not tried this before it is not to late to choose some cars and show up. To help you out here is a list of Premium cars you could run although I am not vouching for how good they are Of course I did choose the Civic with my prize selection for S.N.A.I.L. racing may moons ago

Honda CIVIC TYPE R '08 - 414
Lancia DELTA HF Integrale Evoluzione '91 - 408
BMW Z4 '03 - 427
Renault Sport Clio Renault Sport V6 24V '00 - 434 Acura NSX '91 - 437

There is also a new page on the spread sheet to help you choose your car lineup. The page is here and you just need to choose your 4 cars and it wil calculate your total PP. Thanks to Starvsnr for providing the spreadsheet Fu for making this possible. It is still a work in progress but give it a try.

For the full details on Performance Cap Racing please check out the thread here.

Have fun guys, gals and cyborgs.

[Worst_Driver]

I had a great night in d1. I got my first win and raced side by side with worst_driver most of the night. I have never had competition like this ever its really amazing.

Props to you, I had some crazy fights on track with you. 👍

BTW, you won the night by a single point over me. Well done.

 

[the2armedmen]

tonights last race at the nurb was an epic finish... for last place. me panda and chat running 3 wide through a chicane and position swapping until the very end, which costed me the night by one point to panda. had chat kept donning the position he was in all night me and panda would have tied in points as well as podiums im pretty sure, doesnt get much closer then that, but chat was not having any of that and capitalized on the 1 error i made at the end. great racing guys

 

[nmcp1]

I think the highlight of my night were the battles I had with Nmcp1. Good racing, man.

Same to you DrKronin.... very clean all night long. Excellent stuff 👍 Now I just have to work on getting around you more often

 

[IceWarden]

SNAIL is excellent thing and truly do enjoy it at times. That's why I kept coming back even after some unfavorable driving. However it's just time to move on. I'm the type that would rather brake and get a place behind a guy as to run him hard where you have to lean on their car to make passes stick. I also know where you can go two wide and where you can't. When folks force passes in these spots it boils my blood.

Personality wise. I do like everyone. Truly a fine group of people on a social aspect. Don't take my bitterness as personal to your character off track. On track things are different.

I hear ya brother. You are the race craft stick by which we should all be measured. Always fun racing with ya. I had to step away from Sunday snail for the same reasons.

If you find time to fire up the PS3 again, stop by the PP Cap races (mon or sat) or the sat endurance race. Great racing and race craft without the sprint race impatience and mentality. You can pick your own cars with PP cap racing too.

Don't be a stranger...

 

[dangerzone641]

Great racing last night, great racing with serge last night, two really close finishes in the frs and the Nissan, just awesome 👍

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Hey zer0, can you send me a FR from D3? I didn't realize that my main account (with broken in DLC Mazda) had been removed from the list. Didn't have any of the cars broken in on my other account so ended up missing the racing last night. It had been a long week, so went to bed early.

Good chance I will make it next week. Sorry for not making it last night D3!

You missed some really awesome battles! Hope to see you next Sunday.

You missed some really awesome battles! Hope to see you next Sunday.

The one week I was able to practice and I don't race I was running some decent lap times on all 3 combos.

 

[dabneyd]

A bit of advice for everyone; don't race with a head wound. You won't do very well. Just look at my score last night...

 

[qwietstorm]

I must have had a head wound last night too...lol. Looking at last week and last night I'll be in D2 next month.

We had some great racing dabneyd, my head wound had recupered, I made a surgery by myself!!!(lol).

We did, I was terribly inconsistent last night. Hopefully there will be some variation in drivetrain next week. Japanese 4cyl FR's with ~2L of displacement are fun, but all night long?

No not all night long dont worry I know how you feel dabneyd. I posted a message directly after the event and I will re-post just for you.

 

[Drgreenthumb977]

Great racing in D2 except cupples of impatients guys but its the races, all want to rejoin the top at any cost the most cleanly as possible when they are at 2 inch of the bumpers of all. Any cost refer to 2 inch to be careful or race at 4 inch if u cant. Brake is the key to clean racing, use this advantage.

That 1.

 

[flesxruoyxllik]

Just remembered I forgot to vote after getting disconnected after the first race. My vote is for 3.

Okay, I just sent an FR to your original account. I deleted it back on February 26th when you requested to race under your SNR account instead. The friends lists are so cramped that I'd rather not have anyone take up more than one spot with multiple accounts. It's the same reason your Carbon_Fighter account was deleted as well. Sorry, but it's just a case of limited space.

The one week I was able to practice and I don't race I was running some decent lap times on all 3 combos.

So I guess you were practicing with your main account instead of your SNR account? Isn't there a free "family upgrade" download in the PlayStation Store? I believe allows multiple accounts on the same PS3 to share the same DLC content. It might be worth looking into for you so that you can access all your DLC on whichever account you decide to use (without having to buy it again).

Okay, got it. 👍

Just in time because I'm working on the results post as we speak.

 

[Handlebar]

I am hoping the 1.3 liter Mini or classics like the Giulia or Ginetta G4 will make the cut one day. Maybe even a Beetle or Sambabus...

Oh yeah it was great! It was anyone's game up until the last race!

Off topic, but my last post was my 666 post and yours was your 333. Damien, my child, lets race together.

Here are the official results from our league night on April 14, 2013

If you believe that another driver exhibited poor racecraft or is guilty of an OLR Rules violation, please file a complaint by 10pm Eastern / 7pm Pacific on Monday night. You must follow the complaint process precisely or your complaint will not be addressed!! If you're undecided on whether or not you should file a complaint, please read this. Also keep in mind that a race complaint isn't supposed to be an argument. Here are some good tips on how to make sure things stay civil and respectful. 👍

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
ROUND 2 - Nissan SILVIA spec-R AERO (S15) '02 @Autumn Ring / Reverse
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since dgafaboutany1420 wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it. IMPORTANT NOTE: dgafaboutany1420 has already won Prize A this season. Therefore, he cannot select Prize A again until next season. This means that everyone who raced in D2 last night gets to suggest a new car and track combo. After each of the suggestions have been submitted (by posting it on the thread), dgafaboutany1420 will be allowed to select which suggestion he would like to use his Prize A on. Any driver who posts multiple suggestions will have all of his suggestions VOIDED. Please don't let that happen to you! Please only make one combo suggestion!

The round that received the second most votes was:
ROUND 3 - Mazda Roadster TC @Nürburgring GP/D
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since martin20az gets Prize B, he gets to decide which part of the combo is replaced and what replaces it.

Price C goes to socalracer310 so he gets any gift car ticket listed here.

 

[zer05ive]

It's worth noting that we also had our first ever statistical tie. Both canuckleheadII and JJLopez427 had the exact same number of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishes last night (and neither of them had an finishes below 5th. Now that's what I call close competition!

So how do we break the tie? I'm thinking that we should see who had the better fast laps in at least two of the three rounds. Any other suggestions?

Base it on the average qualifying position.

I think that is the easiest way.

Number of laps with the lead... Not that I think anyone should have to go watch and count them, maybe?

No, make it quick and easy... Total the fastest lap times for each guy in all six races into a rally-style combined time comparison. Six best laps vs six best laps for a "Faster by THEEES Much, Stimpy!" Trophy.

Fastest lap on each track. Add the three together and the lowest combined time get the tie-breaker.
