Hey Villy,
Welcome to Snail. Always great to see a new name on the grid.

There might be somebody with a party open during the race but for the most part, things are pretty quiet. We’re all muted during the races.

If you have a few of us added a friends, you might be able to locate whether a part is open or not.

Sunday Pre-race Network/PS/GT7 Maintenance

1) Clear GT7 Network Cache
2) Close game and shutdown PS
3) Turn off/disconnect all devices using home network. This is an important step if you have been experiencing lag. If not possible to remove all devices from your home network, remove as many as you can.
4) Power down router.
5) Restart Modem
6) After modem has finished restart, wait 5 min and power up router.
7) After router restart complete, wait 5 min and power up PS
8) Run PS network connection test, if test normal, ie: your download and upload speeds are where you expect, next step. If not, begin from step 1
9) Launch GT7
10) Go to Sport Mode and run connection test there, if test states that its a good connection, go to multiplayer and find and join lobby. If not normal go back to step 1

Thanks for the update. I’ve raced with SNAIL before a couple years back. Looking forward to do it again. We did the same back then too.

Thanks again…

Unless @Worst_Driver decides to host a warmup room I'll have one open in about 10 minutes.

 

[Worst_Driver]

@Buffalo_DRD I had a busy week but wanted to say great write up as usual ! As for the livery, I'll make sure to pass the coveted award to the original creator

 

[Buffalo_DRD]

Just realizing I didn't actually post my Car-Show pic yet.

My cars in at the Santa Monica Pier and I'm giving a thought to those affected by the fires in LA.
See you on the track.

D1 lobby open.

 

[Akzl298]

No issues reported. Hosts should start on time tonight. The only reason to delay start is to allow a driver already in the lobby their 3 minutes to sort out connection issues

 

[Villy31]

That was fun!!! I throughly enjoyed that. You gentlemen are fast!!!

Anyone wondering about my new skull fireman logo? It's from my son's Instagram, Forged By Fire Fitness. He's an industrial firefighter and into training. He works forest fires in the summer in BC and at fracking sites in the winter.

Here's a funny video. He's ok.

It turns out that Tokyo Expressway is difficult to get group photos from. There's a narrow field of view and a low ceiling for the camera to move around in. To make things worse I chose a night race so visibility is that much lower. Hope y'all enjoy the views I was able to capture.

Spoiler: D2R1R1 Recap

Lap 1: @Oshawa-Joe starts in pole position, I start in 2nd and we both stayed that way until the checkered flag. I gave him a good chase until the last few laps, when he began to pull away.

My best attempt at a group photo, just after the race began.

@TexHill, @AronD (both shown above), @racingchamp30 and @cesarr64 would have a lot of back-and-forth position changes in the first lap. 'Hulk Slow' lol, I got a kick out of that.

Lap 2: @Mac1032763 is in 3rd place just ahead of @JamCar0ne when he gets a little too much oversteer in T14. Jamcar has nowhere to go and collides with him as he bounces off the wall.

@TexHill, @cesarr64, @AronD and @racingchamp30 are still battling as they round the corner and find Mac10 and JamCar in the middle of the track.

Lap3: @racingchamp30 makes a pass on @cesarr64 to move up from 7th to 6th place. @TexHill is running 3rd with @AronD 4th and @JamCar0ne in 5th.

Lap 4: This would be the closest I get to making a pass on @Oshawa-Joe the entire race. In turn 1 I come in with a little more speed than him and accidently give him a little push. He still clears the wall on the exit and uses that speed to reestablish some breathing room between us.

Lap 5: @TexHill drags the wall a little hard in section 2's tunnel allowing @AronD to take 3rd and @JamCar0ne 4th. That spot in the tunnel must have some serious gouges in the walls, it took quite a beating through the night from almost everyone.

Lap 6: @racingchamp30 overtakes @TexHill after another wall tap for 5th place. The walls here definitely slow you down but at least you can't go way off track and end up in a sand trap somewhere, right?

Lap 9: @Mac1032763 makes a move on @cesarr64 for 7th in the final seconds of the race somewhere between T14 and the finish line.

I broke the races up into sections again this week. I'll have some more pictures up as I find time through the next few days. Have a good night y'all.

3. Ridger23 ---------- voted to eliminate Round 3 - Prize C
4. DRD_Niagara ------- voted to eliminate Round 3
5. Dragonwhisky ------ voted to eliminate Round 1
6. Longballburrell --- voted to eliminate Round 2

Division 2

1. Oshawa-Joe -------- voted to eliminate Round 3
2. JamCar0ne --------- voted to eliminate Round 3 - Prize B
3. radliffpower ------ voted to eliminate Round 3
4. RacingChamp30 ----- voted to eliminate Round 1
5. Roughmusician48 --- voted to eliminate Round 3
6. Tex_Hill ---------- voted to eliminate Round 1
7. cesarr64 ---------- voted to eliminate Round 3
8. Mac1032763 -------- voted to eliminate Round 2

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - Porsche 911 RSR (991) '17 (RM) at Sardegna - Road Track Layout C - S01 Afternoon (18 laps)
Therefore, the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. @Worst_Driver 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 1 - Abarth 500 '09 (CS) at Tokyo Expressway - Central Counterclockwise - C04 Midnight (9 laps)
This means either the car or track will be replaced for next week's line-up. @JamCar0ne 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 @bublyman - 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's confirmed you don't have any penalties. Also, it's recommended you review the SNAIL combo history and other data on our car and track history, to see how many times we've raced each car and track. Please remember, originality is always appreciated. Although not required, picking cars and tracks we've never raced is a plus. 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.

Track Selection Guidelines
