Sorry to hear that. You were well within the established deadlines. Thanks! Take care of yourself and family. We'll be here when you're ready.

I doubt many didn't see this coming. This car hasn't appeared on a SNAIL Sunday since GTSport. It has 8 more HP, 2 more lbs, a sweeter sounding exhaust note, 2 less driven wheels and skinned with SS tires, 3PP less than the Porsche. It's less forgiving in the Inner Loop and more prone to on power oversteer than what it will be replacing at the Glen. Steering is much heavier and not nearly as inclined to going anywhere near as light as the Porsche. Reckon that's on account of all that supercharged big block motor sittin' over the front axle.

Without further adieu, we'll be taking the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE Package '18 to Watkins Glen for the first round of March. It seems it can run mostly comparable times as that 911. I dipped into the 1:52s but was more stable in the '53s.

Over to @Kgffy to fill out the roster for the 9th.

As you might have noticed, I have a fond spot in my heart for the classic Rothmans livery but also anything related to the classic era of GT. The camaro might be familiar to some of you

Awesome! Thanks everyone. I'm trying to get better each lap.

I have not seen this before; the BMW Z4 is available in both the UCD and Brand Central. It's about $20,000 more in Brand Central, which is of course where I bought it as I didn't even think it would be in the UCD right out of the box.

I bought mine second hand from the UCD. Gotta save that money now that I don't have as much time to play ya know. I just flooded facebook with some SNAIL promos so hopefully start seeing some brand new racers posting soon.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

A number of people have been asking about a possible "SNAIL Discount" for the Masterclass Course. Digit/Mihael is trying to get a code or coupon put together. The course is a good value and GT7 specific. I'll be signing up myself soon regardless of a discount.

My entry to the Car Show;

Tooling through the Japanese countryside on the way to Kyoto.

@Kgffy had a gutsy moment at the bus stop, awesome job with that double pass! 🔥

Especially with the Porsche’s tendancy to get out of balance at the bus stop.

Amazing manœuver !

Mark me down as "Questionable" for Sunday's races. We have diner plans and I'm not certain I'll be home in time. But that's no reason to skip on the Car-Show.

I was in Morocco last week and I'm staying there. I'm sure we've all heard of the French Foreign Legion (La légion étrangère).

Established on March 9, 1831, it's a corps of the French Army that allowed foreign nationals into French Service. Historically, citizenship was granted to those that completed a 3 year term or were wounded in battle through a provision called "Français, par le sang versé", (French, by spilled blood)

Many of it's operations were held in North Africa in France's colonies of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, along others.

Enough about all that...

That's a nice move @Kgffy , especially on a controller. If I tired that it would result in a 4 car pileup and @Dragonwhisky would be over his head reviewing incident reports.

[CANOWORMS1]

Here's my line-up for Sunday.

Unbelievable @Buffalo_DRD I have followed you to Morocco yet again. The Sahara Desert saga continues. Our problems happened in the 700 km (400 mi) stretch of beach sand from Algeria into Niger. There was no road. The road conditions were similar to my photo, but without the massive dunes. Very desolate. We got lost. I crashed and broke my collar bone. Got a ride in a truck. Buddies followed. Arrived at the end of the dunes in Arlit, Niger. Buddies arrived next day with a separated shoulder, Blair, and a severe concussion, Curt. We survived to tell some of the best stories of our lives. One of the most memorable experiences of my life.

 

[ErickGaToRR]

In this one hour race, I was selected to represent Puerto Rico as one of the fastest drivers on the island for the latinoamerican racing league that represents all countries of Latin America/South America. The team & I was able to wear the SNAIL SPEC RACING logo on the Mercedes Benz AMG GT3 💪🏻 what happens during the race? I cannot spoil it for you all unfortunately 😉

 

[radliffracing]

My car show.

Tokyo, Japan.

I'm loving the stories @CANOWORMS1 and @Buffalo_DRD !
