Oh please somebody pick a car that turns. I can't frickin take it anymore.
Try braking earlier:lol: and maybe not using ABS

I choose the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 '11 which will use Race Mediums. Post oil change pp/hp: 618/598. After running some laps myself I will guess mid division times will be around 54 seconds at Silverstone National.
AWESOME...I'll be back for that....the only thing that would make it better would be the RBR long course.
 
I am a teacher, but the only thing the kids worry about is keeping their "posterior" respectfully in line and worrying about doing their best on their own work, and helpfully assisting others when they can.

As for the tidy bits... that's not my 'real' style, but I know my audience, and @zer05ive does has a 'need' for format.

This is my desk - finished report cards, but now overwhelmed with the next slew of projects. I can imagine Zer0 would twitch a bit...

I hope you treat that Porsche better than you treat your desk :)

OMG, I can't look at that!
At least you left a bit of room for the planes runway :lol:

Edit: @STEAMER62 beat me to the plane!
 
That's a where's waldo type picture. Or a great I Spy game.

You should see my basement, and the basement workshop. I have 4-5 8' workbenches down there, but... not much room to work. I'm making myself work an hour a day on chucking my old "could be a project someday..." stuff and the "I will really need that when I..." equipment.

Yeah, Lola is in the now-clean garage. I keep the miss OUT of that car, and away from it as well. I am kinda liking this new, cleaner, self-image/attitude. I may even keep it up for a few weeks.

Lol, you probably have so much "stuff" on your benches that you don't even remember how many you have!

Let the joke avalanche come down, first crash in the Barcelona F1 testing and it's Felipe Nasr (teenager) with Suzie Wolff (female).
Unclear who's at fault, but he was on a fast lap, she was on her outlap. Have read it was Suzie going back to the racing line without seeing him, have read it was him trying to go on her outside and clipping her (doesn't seem possible since her damage is in front left and turn was to the left).
Anyway, it's a field day for the non-PC joke creators! Hooray!!

The decision on which photo will make the banner will be a tough one.. They're all good! And we haven't even seen Mr. Mang's photos!
Lots of great shots there. I took some shots last night from a few different angles that I'll upload before practice tonight. Only big difference is we had a few more car colors in our practice session. It seems like the black car is a little faster than the others...right @z06fun ?

@dgaf95integra was in a black car too, and was out front as usual. Time to go buy the black one!

I'll try to get some pics of the SLS late tonight.
 
Still post here if I want to race with you guys right?

@Kiba Stryker

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

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 @CoachMK21, @Dragonwhisky, @JLBowler, @nmcp1 & @zer05ive 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 club. Sunday races are organized exclusively through the GT6 Community features within the game.

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.
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. If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL :cheers:
 
Here's something for you motorheads while waiting for your Grandstand pics. Thought I would post it as it's a little bit different from what most of you are used to seeing. It's an experimental 6 cyl IO-540 Lycoming engine that I'm putting in the plane I'm building right now. Fuel injected, 540 cubic inch, 260 hp. It's about as big a piston engine as you would put in a small aircraft. Install is not finished yet, I start with just the bare engine with nothing on it.
