Read here first Just an update, we're waiting for new patch which was just announced (1.09), and the patch notes for an update to come soon after seems promising. The original goal statement below was created because I believed for many of us, GT7 was not the game we bought, and as far as I know,...

Follow these simple steps and you are set. Just know that You cannot move the Remote Play window because it stops the script. Once you start it, dont touch your computer. I watch it from time to time while working just to be sure that everything runs fine.
A big middle finger to Sony and PD, I love it. I’d rather have a great in game economy, a full single player career and online races that pays well but its a nice workaround for the time being. I have a feeling they will patch it up by changing the order of the races rendering the script useless. So do it while you can.
No joy for me for this process. The downloads invoke DropBox for some reason. I can only download AHK v0.9. Remote play will restart the first race, but the car just rides the wall to the finish and then stalls at the results screen.

Been using V0.95 exe and it can stall on the results screen the first time through too. You need to pick Color1 when it does that, and it will.. should.. might go on to get hung up on the replay/next race screen. Then you get to pick Color2. If it doesn't work after that, try a different version or selecting different parameters.
I've had the best luck selecting the "PS4" and "Timing" buttons when starting the script.

Thanks JC. I had to try all the fixes you suggested and it worked, sorta. While the script works great, the race can go awry at the start, for my situation at least. At the start there is a small white car, one car up, that I hit every time. Occasionally, an hour has been the longest, this ends up in a terminal power donut and you need to start again.
You mentioned "different parameters" and in the AHK window are "variable" that can be changed. I think I read from the author that they had adjusted the "turn delay" to weave through the traffic. Does any of this mean anything to you? There are 4 variables that can be changed: Turn length. Turn Intensity. Turn Delay. Color 2 Delay (which I'm ignoring). I've adjusted the Turn Delay +/- 20% with no improvement. Any suggestions?
Edit: I changed the "Turn Delay" = 300 and "I" pass the first 2 cars cleanly. 310 might be safer. We'll see.
Given the current state of GT7 lobbies, SNAIL will attempt to run a three week season during the month of April on GT Sport.
The first thing we need to determine is how many of our active drivers are willing and able to race on GT Sport at this time. If you are willing and able to race on GT Sport, please reply to this post stating that you are. The first race would be on April 10th and would continue on the regular SNAIL schedule provided we have enough drivers to make it happen.

I am going to be in the tail end of my first uni semester, so I don't intend on racing for April or May. I understand that D1 will need a few people to fill in roles during my abscence, so I am willing to help get that sorted if the racing goes ahead.
Let’s race! Like the old girlfriend who you realize is pretty cool after you split. I never should have left you for that prettier GT7. She’s got some nice curves but what a mess. She’s really pissing me off lately. Will you have me back??

Hey man, if you’d like some more help, I’d be willing to help out. I joined the discord server for the script and managed to get help from ppl there. Biggest thing for me was unplugging my second monitor since I have two monitors for my pc. Having multiple monitor can mess up the script recognition. Doing that fixed the exact issues that you are describing

Thanks, but I have got the script to mostly work. I changed the Turn Delay and starts are better. The process still has issues; enters 2nd race and does donuts, goes to European Cup, hangs going to Next Race. Still better than doing it myself.

Welcome to SNAIL
From our humble beginnings, SNAIL (aka Sunday Night American Interactive League) is now the largest console-based sim racing league in the world. Our mission is to provide our members with clean, intense, and competitive racing - regardless of skill level! We believe that providing full grids of evenly-matched competitions is the most realistic way to race, improve skill, and refine racecraft! Our league night is Sunday at 9:30pm Eastern / 6:30pm Pacific, but we also have a a wide variety of other events held on other nights of the week. If this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, please keep reading to learn more about us and how to join.
What Makes Us Different
SNAIL is the only sim racing league in the world that's able to combine five key features into one consolidated package. First of all, we provide you with evenly-matched competition to drivers of all skill levels. In fact, the intense level of competition that we produce has established SNAIL as the "go to" place to prepare for GT Academy. And if you want to keep track of your improvement along the way, you'll be glad to know that we keep the most comprehensive race data available on GTPlanet. We also feature an interactive process that allows all of our members to have a say in which cars and tracks we race. And last but not least, we're the only league that awards our members with valuable prizes just for racing with us!
Evenly-Matched Competition
Have you ever watched a professional race where drivers with completely different skill levels were competing on the same track? Of course not! That wouldn't be fun to watch, let alone fun to participate in. Unfortunately, that disparity of pace is something you'll often find in organized online racing. When this happens, you'll be lucky to have just a few drivers that you're truly competitive with. Everyone else will usually either be faster or slower than you. We prevent that from happening in SNAIL by dividing our drivers into separate divisions based on speed and skill. This results in full grids of evenly-matched competition and creates the closest and most intense sim racing experience around!
Prepare for GT Academy
If you'd like to compete in GT Academy, there's no better place than SNAIL to hone your skills to the elite levels necessary to make it to the finals. You need to be the best of the best to make it to Silverstone, and that's exactly what the drivers in our top division are. Half of last year's and half of this year's Silverstone Finalists have raced in SNAIL. And since our race format (which features multiple sprint races) is almost identical to the format used at the GT Academy national finals, they were able to use their SNAIL experience to help them advance to Silverstone. Click here if you want to advice from last year's eventual champion and click here if you want advice from last year's runner-up.
Valuable Prizes
Have you ever wished you could win free stuff just for having fun? If so, then you might want to know that our members win valuable real-world prizes just for racing with us! These prize are based on participation and not on race results. Some examples of prizes our members have won include GranStand sim racing products like this, this and this, ButtKicker products like a Gamer2 and a Wireless ButtKicker Kit. You can also join Team SNAIL and earn even more prizes, such as shirts (e.g. S.N.A.I.L. shirt, F1 shirt, GT Academy shirt), video capture devices (e.g. Hauppauge PVR), sim racing equipment (e.g. Playseat Evolution), and even gift cards (e.g. Amazon and PSN).
Spec Racing
SNAIL has always been a one-make series, but when we decided to prohibit tuning in all of our races, we became the first "spec" racing league on GTPlanet. Spec racing ensures that success is determined primarily by driving skill and not by differences in power, gearing, suspension, weight, or aerodynamics. Because variables in the car are eliminated, spec racing is the truest measure of driver skill! It also produces intense battles for position because all of the cars are equally strong or weak in the same areas of the track. Plus, you'll never spend hours tuning cars or wondering if someone is truly faster than you or if they just have a better tune.
Race Format
Our league night lasts for two hours and is split into three rounds. Each round consists of two races that last 10 to 12 minutes on a predetermined car and track combo. At the beginning of each round, a brief qualifying session determines the order of the starting grid. The first race is set to 'Fastest First' to reward the best qualifiers and the second race is set to 'Reverse Grid' in order to promote on-track action. Points are awarded based on our "perfect" points system. After a round is completed, we move on to the next round and repeat the same process with the next car and track combination. Once all three rounds are complete, we tally up the points and then let our interactive format kick in.
Interactive Participation
Our unique format allows everyone to have a say on which cars and tracks we race. It's also used to strike a balance between familiarity and variety of our car and track combos. In other words, the progression of cars and tracks that we race is slow enough for us to learn them well, but fast enough that they don't get "old". At the end of every league night, everyone votes on which car and track combo they enjoyed the least. The combo that receives the most "elimination votes" is dropped from the next week's lineup entirely. The combo that receives the second most votes is also dropped, but only partially. This is where our prizes come into play:
Prizes
A prize is awarded to the divisions winners with the three highest scores*. The division winner with the highest score gets Prize A. The division winner with the second highest score gets Prize B. The division winner with the third highest score gets Prize C: (NOTE: We now have a new process for breaking ties in the elimination vote) Prize A: The right to select the new car and track combo to replace the combo that was voted off Prize B: The right to replace either the car or the track of the combo that received the second most votes Prize C: The right to "freeze" either the car or the track of the combo that received the second most votes
Promotion and Relegation
Although we split our drivers into separate divisions based on performance and skill level, we realize that our drivers are constantly improving and deserve a chance to climb the ladder of success. That's why we promote and relegate drivers before every season based on the results and data compiled during the previous season. This is also done to ensure that our races are as competitive as possible for all of our league members, top to bottom. Regardless of which division you're in, you will almost always be fighting to gain or defend a position on the track. Simply put, no other Gran Turismo league in the world can offer this much competitive racing to so many different skill levels.
Comprehensive Race Data
It's not always accurate to promote and relegate drivers based on championship points alone. That's why the massive amounts of data we track are invaluable to our league. You'd be hard-pressed to find a sim racing league anywhere in the world that tracks driver data and race results more comprehensively than we do. In fact, our SNAIL Data document contains so much information that we have to archive old data to avoid exceeding the GoogleDoc's maximum capacity! You can use this data to track the points championship for each season and compare yourself to other drivers in categories such as fast laps, total race pace, total points, average points per race, and power rankings.
Rules
We expect all drivers to follow our OLR Rules and pursue good racecraft at all times. If you're not sure what good racecraft is, watch this video. It can be summed up in one simple 'Golden Rule' of motorsports: It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free. If you don't agree with this rule or don't think it applies to you, this is not the league for you. If you ever feel like a driver is not following the rules, please wait until league night is over, then file a Racing Incident Report. Our Stewards will review the incident and issue the appropriate penalties.
