GTP Sportcars Series - SNAIL Official Team

[Jakedog23]

I am seeing the list of drivers we have and might suggest we race in the GT3 program

 

[Jakedog23]

That or GTE-Am
As I have good tuning experience with those cars. Not saying I can't tune the other classes though

 

[RobbiefromBC]

Will GT AM be compatible with my gold driver rating?

 

[Jakedog23]

GTE-Am can have one gold driver. I don't know about Xrad's rating though.

 

[Scorpion0001]

umm this might seem like a silly question but what are the car specs and lists?? I can't seem to find any anywhere..

@FlipJ - You should add this link (or better yet, the link to the 2016 list) to one of your first few posts. It will help those like myself that know very little about the endurance series.

After chatting with @FlipJ, I'd like to be a part of the team. I might not be able to go full out at any time slot, but I'd like to do what I can.

According to the interwebs, I'm the most desirable driver, Silver. Maybe not the most, since underrated Silver is the most

 

[Harsk100]

I would also be part of the team, if my team application isn't accepted.

Your name is in, Coach. Welcome aboard.

Harsk, I need to clear that with the powers at GTP Endurance because I'm not sure what happens if your team gets in and you're on our roster. Or, conversely, if we can add you later. I'll check and get back to you on that.

I've been looking through everything but am still wondering about the event format. How does it work? How does an event work? How much of a time commitment does it take for an event? Where do I find all the details? I've been in endurance leagues before but they were 2 hours max. Thats about the most time I can commit in a day.

 

[FlipJ]

Well, depends on the driver category and event length, but basically it works as a real life endurance event would.
So let's take a 6 hour race, for instance, where you have 1 Silver and 2 Bronze drivers. There's a limit on how much the Silver can drive and a minimum of how much the Bronzes must drive.
I'll not deal with qualifying at the moment, just the race.
Simplified version:
You start however you'd like, Bronze or Silver at the wheel.
Driver A does his stint and, when he's about to be done, he goes into the pits for a normal pit stop, typing DC in the chat. He then takes a picture of the screen and exits the room and Driver B gets in. After the "pit stop" time is done, Driver B takes off to do his stint and repeats the procedure until the race is over.
That's the basic.

Depending on the length of the race, you have more than one stint, obviously.

The team stays in contact so that people can be told when their stints are coming up, but until you are up and once you are done, you can turn off the game and go do something else.
Usually people will try to follow everything, since it's your team racing, most other teams use Skype or any other VOIP solution for this.
Team Manager is responsible for getting everyone in position, making sure no one enters the room until they are supposed to, etc.

If you can only do 2 hours a day, we could certainly work around that if it's the case.

We are not going to go insane and institute martial law for this, we are going to take it easy on Year 1 and simply learn how to do it while trying to compete as best we can. There will be some bumps and bruises, but with a little bit of patience and a lot of organisation, we should be A-OK.

If anyone can't race in a particular weekend, we'll figure it out. It should be about 1 weekend a month for each event, so you'd do qualy (usually in a different day than the race) and then race.
That's it.

Looking good guys. I just want to add I have been looking for a team and feel this is going to be great. I am fully committed and always available to drive. As for ranking level, tell me how and when and I'll demonstrate my driving skill to whom ever. Email or PM any info to get all requirements needed out of the way. Let's get ready to race!

 

[RobbiefromBC]

You prove it during the race... I don't agree nor care for the driver ratings, but it is what it is

Hey I feel pretty underrated
D3 Spec Racer that's Bronze

 

[o8_jedi]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm interested in running in this. That being said, I'm not rated yet so don't make anything official. Just very intrigued at this point.

 

[Jakedog23]

Hey @FlipJ a suggestion for the Driver Roster is maybe out their class rank next to there name so it will make it a little easier to plan stuff out.

We'll get on that soon.

I'm waiting for official word on a couple of rated drivers for that. Everyone else will likely be branded Rookie and, as Robbie said, have to prove where they belong on track.

 

[Sedia3]

Some have heard, but i am very interested in joining the SNAIL Endurance Team.

 

[goofytyler]

I getting excited for the season to start l. I'm already getting prepared tobtest out cars and see what i can do in each car.

 

[CoachMK21]

For those that have done this before or have looked up the history:

Are there certain specific cars that have been used several times. Meaning, are there some cars that we can pretty much guarantee will be in the 2016 season?

We should get more info before the month is out, including cars. So the wait is not going to be long.

But yes, the 908 is likely staying.

Thank you, @RobbiefromBC! Can I use this without getting you in trouble for giving out info that isn't official to everyone yet?
