@bublyman @Longball @Oshawa-Joe Good practice! This was three laps in.

My most memorable races were in slow econoboxes not in high power high downforce racecars.
Nice shot BTW !

Scoresheets for 2025.01.19 have been created.​

There was an omission in the SNAIL data flows that excluded a valid TT submission for this Sunday. @Bretcoe has been added to the scoresheets and sorted by grid slot for the first race.

If you ever find yourself driving from Denver to Aspen, take the slightly longer route through Independence Pass. Well worth the detour. Be sure to obey the posted speed limits though, and don't block both lanes of traffic for a photo shoot like this one.

I agree, I took that route this fall on my way to Colorado Springs during my american roadtrip. I highly recommend it !

On another note, I’ll open a practice lobby around 7PM. The usual half distance race format until 9PM. See you there !

EDIT: Practice lobby open.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

@Worst_Driver on my way. Don't see your room open at the moment.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I feel compelled to say, after a 1 hour or so practice session, these combos are bloody well matched, car to track.

The Fiat is actually quite fun to drive at Eiger, the Volvo VW slightly less so at Lago. The absolute crown of this week's batch is that Audi at Deep Forest. Trueforce is utterly amazing as you bottom out in that downhill/uphill transition to the front straight. The steering feedback gets much heavier as you turn in for that last kink to the left and, as you crest the hill, goes all light and feathery and feels like your about to drift into the wall. Amazing experience. A well behaved hooligan car, if ever those two things could be said in the same sentence.

Got room for one more tonight? 😁

I keep getting a timeout error when I try to join. Did that on the first try connecting to the practice room earlier too. This could suck.

Try joining another room, greening up, and then come and try worst

Sometimes starting your own room and then trying again works also

Will check some things on my router and see if they are correct. I've recently had a change in equipment and the port forwarding is probably still set to the old PS. If that doesn't fix it then I'll try your suggestions @radliffracing.

@Worst_Driver - Don't wait for me. Go ahead and start. I'll try to make it in if I can get my connection squared away.

Noted, hopefully it will fix your problem because prior to that seems like you were able to join in without any hiccups.

Host 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.

I did test in both light and dark mode on my PC and tablet.

If you know how to code that outline or shadow, I'd be happy to roll it in there and test that out. I saw a post, and response, while I was fiddling with those colors a few weeks ago when I was hunting BBCode to get a background fill thing working. While there is BBCode that will do that, it has to be enabled in the forum software that @Jordan stated isn't, much to my disappointment.

On a side note, you can run GTPlanet in Dark Mode, independently of your device setting, which I'm sure you Jamcar, already know but, others may not. If you'd like to suggest some colors to use you're certainly welcome to.

On another side note. I run GTPlanet in dark mode because it's easier on the eyes. Since my battle with shingles in the summer of 2016, which did this

Spoiler: ugly

my right eye is still sensitive to light. Yeah, almost 10 years. That right eye used to be my best eye. The doctor never did tell me if I came close to getting a glass replacement for it and I was never brave enough to ask.

WOW! (not the eye, but that is amazing too. That's why got the vaccination).

However my post is about the level of voodoo magic that computers are to me, and how a few(many?) members understand it. No offence, but I've never read so much English prose, and understood so little. I'm in awe. I figure I got about 10% of dragonwhisky's, and those were prepositions: of, to, as, with. I think this is what make's Snail run; people who can relate at this level and produce the complex system that is Snail it's extrodinary.

In no special order, here's to the people who make Snail great: And I sincerely apologize to those of you I have omitted, no offence meant.

nmcp1, dragonwhisky, Akzl298, oshowajoe, jamcarone, jlbowler, worst_ driver (yeah right), zerO5ive, and Marcusgarvey who speaks car tuning like the master he is.

Some of these are BODs and some, maybe, are just longtime members. Whatever, it's fun, and thank you so much!

PS, I'm still in Manitoba, and I'm going out for a smoke at -32C (-26F). Windchill:-41C (-42F). There is no bad weather, there's only bad clothing.

D1 replays for round 3 uploaded.

Really sorry if the missed 2 first round is causing some problems, I totally forgot that I was the second backup…

 

[Worst_Driver]

D1 scores, data and votes done.

@Dragonwhisky Glad you could join in while we were at the best combo of the night. Your connection was stable during racing, no issues at all.

@bublyman I'll take care of uploading the first two tomorrow. Thanks for replays, much appreciated !
