SNAIL-Porsche Cayman Mobile 1 Supercup (using powered up Cayman GT4 Clubsport)​

Attention all SNAIL drivers, a new season of SNAIL's Monthly Friday Night Racing is set to kick off in June and we are back in a Porsche. However, this time we are using the Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport, powered up to a "Cup" car power spec of almost 500hp. Aero will be specified with other upgrades being specific to the series. Only available tuning aspects will be through suspension and differential settings, with HP being adjustable to meet specified PP driver regulations established through time trialing.

After the first event, Success Penalties/Concessions will be "awarded" as the season progresses to bring pace and driver parity even closer.

See the link in my signature of the SNAIL-Michelin Pilot Challenge and check out Niagara's re-caps/broadcast links in the 5th post to get an idea of the racing that can be expected.

Entries are being accepted and preparations are underway with Time Trials and data being collected to establish parity across all driver skill groups.

If interested in the details and possibly joining us for the series, please hit this link:

@Baby On Board

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join SNAIL Racing League:

"We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:
"

1. You start a conversation and add zer05ive, JLBowler, nmcp1,llNovall, Akzl298 & Dragonwhisky as participants.

The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing.

3. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below.

• Original Post
• Drivers List
• SNAIL OLR Policies and Guidelines

4. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL

Just realizing that I hadn't yet posted my Car-Show pic for the week.

@CANOWORMS1 , you are free to stay in Morocco / the Sahara as long as you'd like but 2 weeks is plenty for me.
I decided to head over to Melbourne, Australia this week to take in the season opening F1 race.

I’ll be on later than usual for practice. Anyone feel free to open a lobby.

Just so happens I have one open right now. Not sure about the usual 7:30 time slot tho.

That was a great practice run y'all!

 

[Dragonwhisky]

If no one other than myself and/or @radliffracing opens a warmup room at 7p eastern, I'll have one open.

And then, there's this other guy in D1, who, after announcing at about 20 after, "I gotta buy the car" (paraphrased), rejoins the lobby with about 5 minutes to spare and throws this down in Round 1 Race 1.

Yeah, @Nicktune . Sorry? I just don't really think you were. 😛

• What's more impressive is the 57.2 on the 2nd lap. Whatever car you're in, 96% of the footwork to get the car around the track is always the same. If you learn how to move your feet for a given track. You can just copy and paste with different cars.
• The ZL1 was a nice surprise. I remember it being awful on racing tires.
• I've been sleeping a good 2 hours before the Sunday night races (I wake up 30-40min before race start) for the past 2 weeks. It really makes a difference. You don't have your whole day on your mind.

@Dragonwhisky Ps: I also bought the ZL1 last minute. I tought I already had both cars.

All I can do is laugh and say, with admiration and envy, you suck.

Napping is part of my Sunday race day ritual too. Can't say it makes me faster but it does mean I come to the party rested somewhat. Us old guys need our rest ya' know.
