ESCarGOT: A Tasty S.N.A.I.L. Event!!! Every Thursday!

[Rallywagon]

Just so you know tzayed, you vote for the whole combo. So you would VW voting for combo 1 right now and not just the track.

Goat, you were faster on ch? How much so?

 

[dudeondacouch]

Good racingz this evening.

 

[tezgm99]

Goat, you were faster on ch? How much so?

I think he said something like 6s faster, it was rather substantial at any rate...and he changed to CS, not CH.

 

[zer05ive]

I notice in the title that this event is supposed to be "tasty."

Does that mean there will be snacks?

If there was some way to send them through the console I would gladly provide, haha. But alas no one has made a real life Star-Trek replicator yet.

You can thank Zero for the name, haha

You ESCarGOT's guys seem like a streetwise, tricked out crew..

Exactly how much of the earnings are you getting from this movie, zer0? And what percentage is everyone else in S.N.A.I.L. getting?

Trust me.. Absolutely 100% of the royalties that S.N.A.I.L. receives from the movie will be distributed to the league members.

Round 1 recieved the most votes. So dabneyd gets to pick a new combo to replace it.

Rounds 3 had second most, so racefan78 (aka: me) gets to pick a new car or track for that combo

Thanks to everyone who showed up and raced, especially those of you who raced with us for your first time!

 

[racefan78]

Ok guys, my pick is to replace the LMP cars with:

Race Cars @ 575 PP (Racing Hards)

At this PP there are several touring cars, some JGTC machines, and a handful of LMGT racers that can be used. Hopefully we'll have a variety of cars from several different racing disciplines.

Racing tonight! Once dabneyd posts his picks I'll post the full lineup

I'm in the process of moving so I won't be racing tonight and I'm making this pick without looking at my PS3. I hope there are enough choices to make an interesting race... My choice is 450PP FR or FF 4 door street cars.

Ok, good luck with moving, and sorry you won't be able to race. Thanks for posting your pick, but you were the prize A winner, so you get to pick a track too. Or you could pass the choice down if you don't have any ideas.

Sorry about that! Motegi East!

Can we get clarification on the wet high speed ring, racefan? Are we having to start on sports hard and are then free to switch to comfort softs and try to catch back up as they're faster, or are we picking whatever tyre we like?

No problem. Thanks, and good luck moving.

I like the strategy idea of being able to pit and change tires, but it such a short race I don't think you'd ever be able to catch back up. I think for this kind of race we should just let everyone run comfort softs, as more traction will probably lead to closer racing. Thoughts?

I don't know how long the pit delta is but Goat said he picked up 6s a lap which is why I asked....it might just be enough time to storm back through the field for all I know, lol

My internet just got turned on so I might be racing tonight. If I can get the driving rig setup I'll be there!

I say CS for all!

 

[racefan78]

Well we can try it if you want. All I know is there's no way I'm pulling off for a pitstop in a 6 lap race

 

[tezgm99]

I'll do some testing this afternoon and get back to you

Edit: ok, a drivethrough only costs you 20 seconds....so I reckon, at 6s a lap, you'll catch a full pitstop up in 5 laps.

 

[racefan78]

I guess it's worth a shot. Since you were the one who picked the track I'll leave it up to you. I don't see a problem either way really.

 

[tezgm99]

We could alter the laps; instead of two 6 lappers, have one 5 and one 7, that would be rather interesting then

I'm fine with whatever people want....I'm still amazed that it actually survived a week

 

[racefan78]

Where is everyone?

Edit: Very low turnout tonight, we'll try it again next week with the same combos

[tezgm99]

I just had a look at the replays for round one....man were those close finishes, nearly unbelievable when we couldn't see any cars for the spray

Ok thanks smasher. I'll talk to the head SNAILs to get you added to the roster. In the mean time, check out the main SNAIL thread and see if there's any other events we run that you might be interested in. We have different events every day of the week in one of our many lounges, as well as our main events every Sunday.

Ok guys, who's going to be here this Thursday? This thread seems to have gone dead lately, which is a shame because we have some of our best combos ever coming up!

Hey smasherguy, I just sent you a friend request from the SNAIL_Division2 account. Please join that lounge on Thursday night to enjoy some tasty ESCarGOT!

 

[Chiochan]

I should be in attendance.

 

[dabneyd]

I should be there this week as well.

 

[racefan78]

Awsome guys! So what do you all think about the new race time for SNAIL Sundays? Do you think we should move ESCarGOT up by 30 min also? Please voice your opinions, because I don't wan't to make any changes until I know what you guys are thinking.
