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

[Wolfsatz]

Sigh... My daughter's hopes for my sewing expertise in making her a fairy bustle / custom skirt are undoubtedly dashed.

(do not be surprised...)

Now... We're in MY House!

Onward with dowels, duct tape, some fabric-y schtuff she likes the tint of, some safety pins, and more duct tape!

No racing for me - but, believe me you, I would far rather be running Dead Flipping Last, than this.

On second thought...

Well... maybe.... hrm...

Hey, better be dealing with Halloween customs that with 102 fever; we had to almost go to the emergency room last night.

Hope to race SCT next week; any news on the cars for next week?

The cars choices will be made shortly as racefan gets the numbers added and starts prodding the winners

Okay, MyGT.net is off, but not by enough.

It lists the 240Z at 370 PP. Broken in, the car is, apparently, 378 PP. So, it is two PP shy. I don't own anything that is over 380 and pre-1980. I do have an '81, though. So, yeah, I think I'm just not getting it.

Is the intention that everyone is going to be under 380? If so, won't everyone just run the same car, with the exception of a few people who've been able to do enough testing to find the car that performs above its listed PP?

Vol, I think you're making too much of picking a car exactly at the PP. This is a very relaxed race atmosphere, I've driven a number of cars that were not competitive at the PP and below, because I wanted to drive them And in other weeks there plenty of other people to race against doing the same.

All you need to do is browse your garage, find a car or three that's close to the PP limit, do an oil change or engine rebuild and run it or limit to the PP and run it 👍

racefan, had fun last night thanks for setting this up Looking forward to next week.

 

[racefan78]

Thanks kcheeb. Unfortunately I'm going to be busy this thursday and I'm not going to have time to organize the races. Just a heads up to everyone, the series will return next week in full strength. I'll try to get the results and combos up asap so everyone has some extra time to prepare.

OFFICIAL RESULTS: WEEK 7

Sorry for the super-long delay. Here's the results from Oct. 25th so we can make our picks for this week's combos.


1. dabneyd...............91
2. NCemtB................89
3. kcheeb.................86
4. racefan78.............74
5. drrgreenthumb67....59



It was a light turn out a week ago, but hopefully with the new system that Zero is putting in place to award points for week day races, we'll get a boost in atendance.

Round 3 recieved the most votes. Dabneyd, that means it's your pick again.

Round 1 had the second most, so NCemtB gets to pick a new track or car spec (May i recomend just lowering the PP a little on that one?).

Thanks to everyone who showed up and raced!

 

[dabneyd]

I'll post my pick tomorrow, but be assured, it will be FF's.

 

[racefan78]

NCemtB, please make you're pick for tomorrow night, otherwise we won't be able to race...

 

[moutonguerrier]

I might hop in this week...

Homework took over!
have fun tonight

 

[Wolfsatz]

NCemtB, please make you're pick for tomorrow night, otherwise we won't be able to race...

I guess we still don't know what are we racing tonight?

 

[dabneyd]

Sorry for late notice, but I won't be racing tonight. I don't know when I'll be able to make a Thursday night again for the time being. Let my pick go to the next person.

Ok, dabneyd gave up his pick since he's not racing, so it goes to kcheeb. hopefully we can get that sorted out in time to race tonight. As far as round 1 goes, I got a pm from NCembT, and all we're doing is lowering the PP to 350.

EDIT: If kcheeb doesn't have time to make a pick we'll just keep round 3 the same and race anyway. I've been away from GT5 for like 2 weeks so I need to get my fix in tonight, lol

Will do so at lunch MST. Warning not in GT5 so pick may be wonky

Awsome, thanks cheeb! And I'm sure it won't be any wonky-er than the combo it's replacing seeing as how everyone hated that combo. (well almost everyone, I actually kind of liked it)

 

[kcheeb]

How about Touring Car Specs

305 HP (supposed to be 300 but can't limit to 300) & no less than 1100 Kg's.
@Nurburgring GP/D

 

[Wolfsatz]

380 PP FR 60's or 70's Japanese Street Cars (Sports Hard)
Curcuito de Madrid Mini, ?[/B]

Does the OCD still have these?

Can someone recommend something decent? I don't want to pick an actual Snail!

Sounds good. Would those be Fstreet cars or actual Touring Cars?
FR i assume?

 

[Apmaddock]

I've got the night off so I'm up for this! See you there.

 

[kcheeb]

Shouldn't matter fr, mr, ff, rr. Is the btcc limited like that? If there are enough standard tc's then tc's.

 

[racefan78]

Yeah, we'll go with that, there should be plenty of them. Did you have a PP level in mind?

 

[kcheeb]

Not really, the hp and weight should work out 👍

I didn't realized that I got second place. When I checked on Sunday the results were not posted yet.

I'd like to change it to 480PP MR/RR. Should be fun at that track! 👍

As it stands now the combos are

TBD
TBD

410 PP FR Street Cars (SH)

Apmaddock, please make your pick ASAP. If we don't get your pick by an hour before race time I'll have to pick for you

 

[zer05ive]

Apmaddock, please make your pick ASAP. If we don't get your pick by an hour before race time I'll have to pick for you

I'll PM him (in case nobody already has)

 

[Apmaddock]

Sorry. I've never won anything SNAILy before. . . and I probably won't be racing tonight.

Hrmm… How about:
540 PP Italian Cars (SS)
Côte d’Azur laps TBD

 

[racefan78]

Ok, thanks 👍
I'll go do some testing to get a lap number and post the official combos shortly

ok, combos are up, hopefully I'll see you guys tonight

 

[Apmaddock]

I just realized that I was looking at Premium cars when I made that pick. There aren't many standards that would fit it.

Want to change to Germans at 460PP?
