D2R1R1 Recap

Last night was so action packed I've decided to break some of it up into segments this week. Combo 1 was a blast! Great job @JamCar0ne on you're selection of car and track.

Lap 1: By the second to last turn we were divided into two packs with @DublDee , @Oshawa-Joe , @racingchamp30 , @JamCar0ne , and @CANOWORMS1 in the front group.

Lap 3: With the lead group running as close as it was, when Dub got sideways and ran into the grass after turn 4, he fell back to 4th place while Joe took the lead. With grass still on his tires, he lost P4 to Canoworms soon after.

Still on Lap 3, final turn. @TexHill over corrects a slide and veers off track, allowing @Ropere to overtake P9 while @CdnSweetTee and @Mac1032763 are right behind me.

Lap 5: Canoworms and Racingchamp are close as well Tee and Mac. Everyone else has a little breathing room for the moment.

Lap 9: @CdnSweetTee lost it on the Dunlop corner and made use of the unused chicane. I was just talking to her and Dub earlier about how that part never gets used, lol. @Mac1032763 siezes the oppurtunity and moves up to P7.

@DublDee slides out in the final turn seconds later. @JamCar0ne , @racingchamp30 and @CANOWORMS1 are in close running order not far behind @Oshawa-Joe.

Lap 13: Jamcar, Champ and Canoworms are still very close, they're the only cars grouped up at this point.

@Oshawa-Joe taking the checkered flag after leading for 10 laps uncontested! With JamCar taking 2nd and Racingchamp in 3rd.

 

[Worst_Driver]

@CANOWORMS1 Thank you, my first and probably my last, the stars need to be aligned for that to happen but I'm glad I got it once. I realised that it was achievable when I started the last race, as long as @Nicktune didn't get the fastest lap again but my luck struck.

With that said, here are the last photos from D1 of 2024.

That little car is so fun, you just need to let it slide a bit and use the liftoff oversteer to your advantage.

My favorite combo of the night, but seems like I was an outlier. Amazing car and very fun to throw around on SH tires.

Grand Valley's scenery is so beautiful, I had to include as much as I can in the photos.

Came in a little bit too hot in the first corner, seems like @Dragonwhisky copied my late braking point.

The Radical gets airborne pretty easily as seen here. That was all @bublyman needed to take the lead.

I managed to chip away at the gap separating us and I made my move at the last corner of the last lap.

The overtake stuck...barely. @bublyman You had a fast pace, that was a good race. Well done !

And this closes our 2024 season. I wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year. May 2025 bring you and the people you love health and happiness !

Don't forget @Marcus Garvey unofficial event this friday, december 27th, it will be a lot of fun with a couple of cold ones See you there !

D2R1R2 Recap

This one was a doozie! We had alot of position changes and plenty of accidents. Several of which happened right in front of me adding a bit of excitement, to say the least.

Lap 1: Group shot. @TexHill made out pretty well in turn 1 with @Ropere in 2nd and @Mac1032763 in 3rd. Look at all the SNAIL banners in this shot!

I just wanted to focus in on @CdnSweetTee and @DublDee for a second to draw attention to the matching liveries. Looking sharp as always you two!

Tee got squirrely in turn 6 and ran off in the grass for a bit, causing her to fall back from 6th to 10th.

Lap 2: TexHill, still in the lead, gets a little loose in turn 1, allowing Ropere to gain some ground. Dub also slightly slides while battling widowmaker (@Mac1032763) for 3rd. Meanwhile I almost lost it completely and cut through the grass losing positions to @Oshawa-Joe and @JamCar0ne. Alot going on in one photo.

Later on in the second lap @Mac1032763 and @CANOWORMS1 make light contact at the beginning of the final turn. They both manage it well and no serious issues arise from it.

At the same moment in time @TexHill is getting loose and ends up bouncing off the invisible pit wall, slowing his speed down enough for Dub and Ropere to make a pass before the start/finish line.

@Mac1032763 loses control and hits the wall while trying to slow down for the action just in front of him. Racingchamp just missing him as he veers off.

Lap 3: Unfazed by any slowdowns, @CANOWORMS1 carried the most speed through the straight and battles for 1st with Dub and Ropere. Coming out of T1 he's now in 2nd. Not long after, @racingchamp30 makes his move for 3rd.

The final turn takes a few more victims at the end of lap 3 when @Ropere, @Oshawa-Joe, and @JamCar0ne make contact causing the latter two to spin off to either side of the race line. Tex, Tee and myself zoom in between, unscathed.

Lap 4: Racingchamp and Canoworms are battling for 2nd. Ropere, Tex, Tee and I are in close range of each other. Jamcar and Joe are battling for 9th.

Lap 5: Tee and Tex make contact while battling for P5. I slip on by, going from 7th to 5th.

Lap 7: Early in the lap I try to make a pass on Ropere but it doesn't stick. However, at the end of the lap he counter steers a bit too much leaving an opening for me to take position 4. Joe was hot on the tail of Mac and Champ was right behind Canoworms.

Lap 8: Joe passes Mac for P6, he's on a mission for the podium!

Lap 9: At the front of the pack, Dub goes wide on T4, touches grass and gets sideways a bit. Coming into the Dunlop turn too shallow, he slows more than Canoworms can react in time for and gets rear ended, causing a spin. Racingchamp scoots on by on the outside, taking first place. Canoworms, being a great example of sportsmanship, gets in the grass giving on track concession to Dub. Unfortunately he spends too long out of bounds (barely), and instead of 3rd, he gets reset on the track. All the way back to 8th! Ouch.

Lap 10: Thought I was seeing double in the mirror when I looked up and saw Joe and Ropere battling for 4th. Widowmaker and Jamcar are close behind them.

Lap 11: Widowmaker lost traction for a moment on the Dunlop corner and recovers quickly but not before losing his position to JamCarOne.

Lap 12: Ropere just barely touches the grass exiting T1, but that's enough for Jamcar to make another move in T4 for 5th place.

After over a lap of pressure from Joe, I run wide on the final turn and he moves up to 3rd place.

Lap 13: The race is almost over and Ropere, Mac, and Canoworms are battling hard still. Only one turn left at this point.

Up front, Racingchamp is first to cross the finish line with no one in sight! Dub would cross the line second, followed by Joe in third.

The closest finish went to Ropere, Mac, and Canoworms. Less than half a car length separated Mac and Can!

What an awesome race! I hope to have some coverage up for combos 2 and 3 sometime soon. I'll try to make 'em shorter, lol.

The LED strip was a gift from a grandson several years ago and until I added one of the new mods for the Wheelstand, was attached under the edge of my desk. Almost tossed it in the trash but thought "What the hell, I can have footwell lighting."

8. RopereSKN --------- voted to eliminate Round 2
9. Cdn_Sweet_Tee ----- did not submit a vote

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Nissan Fairlady Z Version S (Z33) '07 (SH) at Grand Valley South - Reverse - S03 Evening (12 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. @Buffalo_DRD wins Prize A, and 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 - Radical SR3 SL '13 (RH) at Sardegna - Road Track Layout C - S01 Afternoon (16 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. @Mac1032763 is the Prize B winner and they have the option to freeze the car or the track, or they can give that option to the Prize C winner. If they give the freeze away, they get 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 @hurbinator - they get 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 you review the SNAIL combo history and other data on our car and track history, so you can get an idea how many times we've raced each car and track. Please remember, originality is always appreciated, picking cars and tracks we've never raced is a plus (but not required). What's more important is, you thoroughly test any combo you are considering, before making it your official selection. For example, any car you select must 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 Preset Weather and the Time of the Day (e.g: S01 Afternoon) or else it will be left to default. Available settings can be found under Time/Weather Settings, when creating an online Lobby, after selecting your track.

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