Another fun night of racing and another season in the books. We joined D1 in the March double digit club with 10 racers on grid for 5 out of 6 races.
Lap 1: This shot comes from the grandstands outside of turns 1 and 2. Get it right here and you could gain some serious time on those around you. Get it wrong and it's hard to get back on track.
@arethosetacos POV just a few moments later and we can see @racingchamp30, @Mac1032763, @radliffracing, and @JamCar0ne from left to right. The rest of the field is visible in the one and only rear view mirror the '65 Mini Cooper came with.
@JakeMk8 and @Gusmcnasty rounding turn 7 as Gus was making a run for 9th place.
@CANOWORMS1 in 6th with @TexHill just barely avoiding the cones as he skirts around the outside of turns 8 and 9 in 7th.
Lap 2: @JamCar0ne led the entire race from start to finish despite my best efforts in the #85 car to overtake. There's about an inch between bumpers here yet no contact was made as we round turns 1 and 2.
Lap 4: @Mac1032763, @racingchamp30, and @arethosetacos entering the straight in 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
Lap 5: I left the telemetry on screen here to show what happens when your brake pedals not completely releasing. Note the brake lights are on and there's just a sliver of red in the brake indicator at bottom of screen. This cost @Mac1032763 a lot of time and he was quickly overtaken going down the straight here. It's always a good idea to visit the controller settings and verify everything is working properly and possibly set dead zones if needed.
Kickin' up some dust at T6 with @JakeMk8, @Gusmcnasty, and @CANOWORMS1 in the #27 car.
@cesarr64 entering T8 with the Mobil 1 livery looking great!
@CANOWORMS1 had a good run out of turn 9 and overtakes @Gusmcnasty before the start of the lap 5.
Lap 6: @racingchamp30 in the #20 shown here putting the pressure on @arethosetacos and his mud splattered #23 Lucas OIL livery.
Lap 10: Helmet cam view with @JamCar0ne and you can see my chrome stripes in the mirror still trying to figure a way to overtake. I make a run at it just ahead in the left hander and have to dodge off track to the left to avoid contact as I lacked sufficient overlap to hold the inside line.
Lap 11: @TexHill sporting the Admiral Nelson #01 paintjob which I'm assuming is the UK's version of the General Lee.
Lap 12: Amazingly @CANOWORMS1 managed to keep two wheels on track during this power slide exiting turn 2. @Gusmcnasty had a first-row seat to the show.
@JamCar0ne brings home the checkered flag after a hard fought 13 laps. Well done!
No work for me today as you might have guessed by now. I'll get the second race of round one up soon and possibly the other rounds as the week goes on, depending on if I get a load out or not.

Just a heads up, I work every other weekend, so I can only join in every other Sunday. Won't be there this coming Sunday, but will be back for the following one. Had fun last night, everyone's skills are so impressive and has great sportsmanship. With my pace it was very nerve racking being placed first on the reverse grids, so I was pulling off to let the group pass lol

The second race of the night had its share of exciting moments. As I expected, this would be the last time we take the '65 Cooper around Suzuka East. It's been a fun combo, a lot like the Renault Gordini races we had a little while back.
Lap 1: This time our group picture is taken from the vantage point of the steward's tower at the end of the straight.
@JakeMk8 leads us out of the first two turns and into the esses. We make it through with minimal contact as we jostle around in the middle of the pack.
Lap 2: @CANOWORMS1 in the #27 has managed to claim first place and @Gusmcnasty is challenging his position entering turn 1.
There was a little chaos moment as the front of the field goes wide all the way up to 4th place. I thought @arethosetacos in the #23 and I would walk away with first and second here but @CANOWORMS1 keeps his composure and remains in 1st place.
@cesarr64 and @JamCar0ne running side by side into turn 3.
@racingchamp30 in the #20 is close behind the top three leaving turn 8.
@JamCar0ne saves it after a major slide around the final 2 corners.
Lap 3: A close up of myself in the #85, @CANOWORMS1 and @arethosetacos nearing the end of the straightaway.
The #01 car of @TexHill is in hot pursuit of @JamCar0ne here.
@JakeMk8 riding just behind the bumper of @cesarr64
@arethosetacos, @CANOWORMS1, and I are in single file through the S turns.
@Mac1032763 is still having issues with the brake pedal sticking, probably overheating the pads and rotors and causing brake fade.
Lap 5: Sticky brakes or not, @Mac1032763 is able to catch up to @CANOWORMS1 and make a pass after Can goes a little wide in turn 9.
@JakeMk8 gets slap sideways and yet does not go all the way around here, great job on the recovery!
Lap 6: @racingchamp30 passes @JamCar0ne for 3rd as they clear turn 5.
Lap 7: @arethosetacos is getting a boost when @JamCar0ne, back in 3rd now, implements some bump drafting to close the gap on first place. I hope there's not too much mud on that radiator...
A passenger side perspective from @TexHill's car shows @racingchamp30, @JamCar0ne, and @arethosetacos on their way into the final S curve. The Ferris wheel in the background adds to the track's personality.
Lap 9: I'd be lying if I said I hadn't noticed @JamCar0ne pass @arethosetacos for 2nd place. Probably had something to do with the mistake I'd be making in the near future.
@Mac1032763 takes advantage of @racingchamp30's mistake at the beginning of the straight and moves up to 5th.
Lap 10: Lesson learned, when you're in a comfortable lead don't go pushing for the fastest lap and end up overshooting the turn. I fall from 1st to 2nd here. I would have been in 3rd but @arethosetacos followed suit and had a slowdown of his own.
Lap 13: @Mac1032763 is still striving for a better spot keeping @TexHill on his toes until the end.
@Gusmcnasty and @cesarr64 are also engaged in a close race for 6th until the finish line. @JamCar0ne took the checkered flag again with an early example of why he's leading the D2 March season leaderboard.
@Baby On Board no worries on missing every other week, real life always takes precedent. Reverse grids can be intimidating, but you'll get used to it and they'll help you learn even more than standard grids as time goes by.

Round 1 - MINI Cooper 'S' '65 (CM) at Suzuka Circuit East Course - S06 Early Morning (13 laps)
Therefore, the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. @arethosetacos 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 2 - Alfa Romeo 4C '14 (CS) at Nurburgring Grand Prix Track - S01 Sunset (6 laps)
This means either the car or track will be replaced for next week's line-up. @superb3113 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 @TexHill - 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.

FINAL STANDINGS - MARCH 2025
According to points, @Nicktune is your Division #1 champion. He edges out @ErickGaToRR by 6 points but has 2 fewer wins. In Division #2, @JamCar0ne takes the top spot by a healthy margin.
- 26 Drivers showed up for races this season making for consistent double digit grids.
- @Worst_Driver 's absence opened up a spot on the podium. Very happy to see my fellow mortals @Villy31 and @superb3113 grab one.
- Also in @Worst_Driver 's absence, I hosted the races in D1 yesterday and apologize as my lobby was a tad choppy. Seems odd as I hosted tonight's practice session for the other Snail series without any issues.
- And a welcome to @hugenecheung . Hope you enjoyed your evening that we'll see you again next Sunday.
It's been quite some time since I wrote up my weekly column. I simply haven't had the time but I'll revive it one day. In lieu, I offer a new segment with a quick picture or two highlighting something that caught my eye during the evenings action with a caption describing the action.
NIAGARA's PIC OF THE WEEK
Many of us got Dragon Trail's chicane all wrong at some point last Sunday, including myself. On Lap #1 of C3R2, I entered the chicane on what I thought was a decent line but hit the outside wall and was sent for a spin. Thankfully, the car settled facing the right direction but I posed a massive danger to other cars as I was travelling at only 40 kph. A few spots behind me, @Noob01_lmdead came in the chicane real hot and managed to quickly adjust his line and blew past me at 128 kph and avoided killing me on the spot.
A little further up, it looks like @Oshawa-Joe also found himself in a little trouble as he's pictured facing the wrong direction.
Lastly, @superb3113 , pictured in the white GTR, showed some impressive zig-zag skills as he weaved his way by myself and @Oshawa-Joe to gain a couple of easy positions.
Thanks for your patience, see you at the Car-Show.

Thank god the Mini is over with. The other combos weren't bad on the other hand!
I pulled these two FULL SENDs (on different laps) where I thought I was for sure going to wreck at the chicane of death in combo 3.
Gotta risk it for the biscuit! Although... I carelessly lost a sizeable lead on the final corner of race 1 and couldn't make up for it in race 2 either.
(PS - I double checked the rules if the curbs/kerbs/rumble strips need to be red/white. The answer is no! These are within limits!)
I'm still testing combos for Prize A but will confirm by Thursday. Welcome to SNAIL to my referral @hugenecheung! Looks like you went straight to D1 so sucks we can't race together. Either way, maybe if you confirm the recruitment, I can claim some shells.

Good afternoon to my East 'elite' coast SNAILS, morning to the rest of you. 
Ask @CANOWORMS1 if you don't get the reference there. I'm back with another edition of Radliff's Recaps 
Nürburgring GP track map curtesy or racingcircuits.info. I may have been able to find a better version with the English translations on another website, but I was acting fast this morning, not knowing whether or not I'd be called away to work. Still doing so actually. So, in the spirit of the authenticity and the essence of time, we'll be using the German names today.
Lap 1: The shadows are long as the sun sets on Nürburg, Germany. @JamCar0ne sets the pace into turn 1, the Haug-Haken.
The caution flag would've come out early as @cesarr64 and @Gusmcnasty get into a tangle, I was spared by the automatic ghost feature as Gus is teleported away just as he begins to make contact to my rear quarter panel. Sadly, he is reset way behind the rest of the field.
@Mac1032763 and I in turn 2 keeping a safe distance.
@TexHill has moved up to second as we exit turns 1 and 2.
The gap between first and second is already beginning to open up and @JamCar0ne's green and yellow colors are starting to get a little smaller.
@TexHill seems to have traded in his comedic liveries for a more serious style this week, reflecting his determination to win as well, I might add.
I was pleased with the results of this chrome color fade decal experiment, and the setting sun makes it look all the better. #85 as always.
@Mac1032763 brings an anime livery to the table again with some very aware eyes watching his blind spots.
This was my first error of the round was braking too late entering the NGK-Schikane. I threw the car off track at the last second to avoid pushing @TexHill past his turn in. I know he would've done the same for me as I've seen it done in the past.
@racingchamp30 keeping it clean while going two wide through the chicane.
@arethosetacos with the Shell/Ray Ban livery and man I like those American Racing rims! Just like the ones I had on my '73 Maverick!
@CANOWORMS1, #27 Orlen car, is color coordinated in a red and white livery and racing suit as always.
@cesarr64 chose the same color scheme as I did, red and green, in the Castrol #71 car. I thought it was fitting due to the Alfa Romeo emblem and Italian flag colors.
When a car looks good it looks good in plain solid colors as well. @Gusmcnasty with the red on black paint. I had a close up of @JakeMk8 as well but must not have saved it. Not to worry there's another one coming up soon.
Lap 2: @Mac1032763 is in third but @racingchamp30 and @arethosetacos aren't making it easy to breathe here in Sector 1.
@arethosetacos gets his man and takes 3rd place leaving turn 4, minding that white line on the exit. @CANOWORMS1 looks to have snuck into 5th for a moment.
There's some contact made and @Mac1032763 goes for a ride beyond the limits of Valvoline-Kurve. @CANOWORMS1 takes precaution to give concession and they both move back a few spots to 7th and 8th.
Lap 3: @arethosetacos has overtaken @TexHill for 2nd as they come around T3.
@racingchamp30 in the #20 also manages to overtake in the Dunlop-Kehre.
Same curve just a few moments later and @cesarr64 goes wide just like @TexHill did before, only a little further this time. I move up to 5th place.
@JamCar0ne has the lead by a country mile, which goes well with the John Deere look.
The pylon, or bollard (new term to me), at NGK-Schikane took a lot of abuse in the Michelin Pilot Cup series race we had here as it was fair game. However, in the Sunday night series it is off limits and @Mac1032763 demonstrates pushing it to the absolute limit here as he slides past, barely clearing.
Here's @JakeMk8 and @CANOWORMS1 as they trade places again and there'll be many times to follow until the end of the race.
Lap 6: We skip ahead to the last lap and find that @arethosetacos and @racingchamp30 have closed the gap on 1st place.
At the end of the lap now, we see that @JamCar0ne prevails over the pressure to lead his contenders to victory.
@Buffalo_DRD and @arethosetacos the tales of the death chicane are great! I like telling stories but enjoy reading others even more.

@arethosetacos gets his man and takes 3rd place leaving turn 4, minding that white line on the exit. @CANOWORMS1 looks to have snuck into 5th for a moment.
There's some contact made and @Mac1032763 goes for a ride beyond the limits of Valvoline-Kurve. @CANOWORMS1 takes precaution to give concession and they both move back a few spots to 7th and 8th.
Lap 3: @arethosetacos has overtaken @TexHill for 2nd as they come around T3.
@racingchamp30 in the #20 also manages to overtake in the Dunlop-Kehre.
Same curve just a few moments later and @cesarr64 goes wide just like @TexHill did before, only a little further this time. I move up to 5th place.
@JamCar0ne has the lead by a country mile, which goes well with the John Deere look.
The pylon, or bollard (new term to me), at NGK-Schikane took a lot of abuse in the Michelin Pilot Cup series race we had here as it was fair game. However, in the Sunday night series it is off limits and @Mac1032763 demonstrates pushing it to the absolute limit here as he slides past, barely clearing.
Here's @JakeMk8 and @CANOWORMS1 as they trade places again and there'll be many times to follow until the end of the race.
Lap 6: We skip ahead to the last lap and find that @arethosetacos and @racingchamp30 have closed the gap on 1st place.
At the end of the lap now, we see that @JamCar0ne prevails over the pressure to lead his contenders to victory.
@Buffalo_DRD and @arethosetacos the tales of the death chicane are great! I like telling stories but enjoy reading others even more.
