◆ SNAIL [Touring Car] Series - Closed - Many thanks for the support over the past 4 seasons!

[DesertPenguin09]

There was a huge crash in a last minute test and my car had to be rebuilt. We did an overnight but it got done. Here's the new wheels. Fresh start.

For your viewing pleasure. I think we should all do this and then we have a spotter's guide.

I have been using this type of image for the DTC to make the spotters guide. If someone has photoshop it is pretty easy to make a template like I use and make all the images. It takes less than a minute per car and I am happy to share how I do it if anyone wants details.

ROOM OPEN FOR ALL MAIN EVENT PARTICIPANTS. ​

 

[SGETI]

Must start at least 1 race on each compound (Example: Race 1-RH, Race 2-RS, Race 3-RS)

• Failure to meet this requirement will be the penalized by dropping your highest points for the night and will receive 0 point for that race

Did i miss a post where the above was changed? I saw the one for tire and gas from very fast to fast but I can't seem to see where this was changed.

Thanks for the great racing tonight.

 

[Kgffy]

Great battles all night, think I realized I'm letting people pass me To easy when they hav noticeable more speed Because I don't get the same, guess that's just racing and will be changing the way I drive(:

Thanks for the great racing tonight.

That has been the rule since day one

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Nothing changed. It has always been the rule that you CANT start all three races on the same compound

 

[SGETI]

I guess i misunderstood you in the room. I thought you typed you could start on the same compound all three races.

Time for new glasses.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

The track definitely made the tires work. And you could easily feel the difference between the softs and hards. I felt more confident with softs at 7 or 8 all around than with hards at full 10s.

 

[Wardenclyffe]

This car is a handful, beyond fickle. You can see bent save me from the "best" off I've had, when I dipped 2 tires into the grass and drifted through the 4th gear turn that I don't know the name of, ending up directly in front of bent, who punted me back up to speed, ghosted, then somehow managed to keep his position in the race 1 replay from tonight's races, which are posted at our SNAIL Touring Car Series open drive. I think it was either the 2nd or 3rd lap.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Congrats to NORML_N for being the highest finisher in points tonight (21 points) that is not in the top 10 in the RCS.

Well done Norm.

Will have the full results posted later this week​

👍 All great shots, but I love this photo edit that you do. Love seeing my car like that!

 

[Wardenclyffe]

@Kgffy - we're going to Twin Ring East this coming Tuesday, so your practice there was not all for naught. At a minimum, you're extremely intimate with that track now, so getting the Cam-a-row up to speed there should be easier than it would have been otherwise.

 

[ONESPACE]

Color change if that's OK. Car was to bright.
Car is gold chrome, wheels are Gt Fluorescent 002

[Grandpa Money]

I'm once again going to confirm but just like last week I might not be on time .. Soccer coach likes to take practices later than advertised

 

[ONESPACE]

I'm on call, starting Monday. If no emergency calls come in, then I should make it. But just can't confirm sorry.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

TT: 1:16.014

 

[Zii1993]

I'm going to confirm but I may have to go to the back. My wrist is doin somewhat better but I should get my stand on tues so hopefully I can get it together before the race. Cape was yours disassembled? If so how hard is it to assemble?

If I can't get it assembled in time I'll have to use a ds3 brings back week 1 of RCS memories grim lol

I actually think it was the way the wheel was tilted on my desk. I never did follow wardens advise to put shims under it to lift the front of the wheel itself to straighten the wheel in front of me. It angles so much that if I turn over 90 deg my hand was having to twist a bit cause the wheel gets closer to me the lower on the wheel you got. If that makes sense lol

 

[SGETI]

Cape was yours disassembled? If so how hard is it to assemble?

Came in pieces. No instructions. Surprisingly not many small parts. I used their online video for sequence of assembly. Overall an easy assembly. The most challenging part was using the proper length and mm bolts. On a few occasions i used wrong length. Took me apx. hour+ to assemble. I was not in a rush. Hardest part was attaching the seat to the base rails. They do have an online video, and others on you tube. Suggest you take 10-15 min. and watch a few to avoid any common issues.

  • Grim will track these and update the anticipated starting grid accordingly.

He does speak the truth. It is in the rules
