**COMPLETED** SNAIL-Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge: Season 1 Champion: Rob Brown

[Roman_GT23]

Awesome, looking forward to racing with you. I'm in the mid 1:50's fast laps running solo...got to find at least low 1:50's consistent to stay with this group. Going to be some good races.

I was running mid 1:50s as well on the pad. Went down to about a 49.8 on the wheel. I think high 1:50s low 1:51 will be the race pace

No problem Roman. It's hard enough on the wheel on these RH tires, I cant imagine on a pad. Have a great Holiday and see you at our next one. Btw, keep an eye on the thread, the next Event will either be a short 3 week turn around or a 5 week dependant upon other scheduling. I'll keep ya posted.

What a great night of racing! It took a long time but everything finally worked out where I could fit into the schedule. I didn't expect much at Barcelona since it's not a favorite of mine but apparently I was quick. Are some people not tuning so much or what tunes are you using? I quickly grabbed the Praiano with Nova's tweaks and moved Brake Balance to -2 for a bit more rotation, and -1 for the second half of the race as tires wore out a bit. It was great to check the track map and still see multiple cars in close proximity after a full 40 minutes of racing. That means there are plenty of evenly matched drivers and that's great to see as well. Thanks for the series, Nova!

Event #5 Post Race Report
and Scoring
​

What a night of racing to everyone on track tonight. From qualifying to race pace, to the door to door and nose to tail battles, tonight was another great event in the books. I'm sure others had some great battles on track, but from my view on the night, @nmcp1 and I literally ran nose to tail, shuffling positions multiple times for 4th place for the entire 40 minutes...take a peak at the replay if you have the time. Race 2 afforded much the same... great battles with @TomMang_68, @Fudman420, @USERID_77a23, and again Nuno, but this time with the fast paced @GTP_Guido stalking behind me. That's just from my view as I'm sure many tonight had their own on track war stories. In the end, the consistency and patience of our winner on the night paid off.
Congratulations GTP_Guido on the overall win on the night just edging out the 2nd place finisher by 1 point. A nod to @DesertPenguin for setting the pole, and fast laps on the night (I see a bump coming )

The score sheet is displayed below in the spoiler box. Total race time and fast lap times still need to entered, but the important stuff is ready. As you will see, there were a few ties in points on the night showing just how close the competition is in this series.

Always Drummer79, and no worries. Hope you get back up and running soon.

Gentlemen,
I played back the replay from Race 1, bomraodcasting it to YouTube while trying to catch as much of the passes and battles as they were happening. All I have to say is, WOW! After 40 minutes of racing, we had 4 different sets of cars grouped very close together at the finish line, awesome battle at the front between, Rob Brown, DesertPenguin, and GTP_GUIDO, my battle with nmcp1, and Tex and User had a nice run going, and basswerks1, Johnnyg_91, Onyx58, and Phlano099 had a 4 car war going on toward the back of the field. Again, great racing everyone.

If you have a computer or smart tv and just want something in the background while doing something else, or just need to kill some time, this replay is a good watch.

Enjoy.

I didn't know Rob Brown is now no1needs2perish, I thought that was someone relatively new to SNAIL. It was a pleasure racing with you again Rob. 👍
