SNAIL 2020 Holiday Event 12/27 9PM EST

SNAIL

2020 Holiday Event

A collection of sprint races chosen by you to celebrate the end of a wild year

Lobby opens @ 9PM EST 12/27
First come first serve
Come and go as you please

Think of this as a casual yet organized open online lobby. Its meant to be fun with hardly any waiting between races, but still competitive with points

ALL DRIVERS WILL EXHIBIT CLEAN RACECRAFT




Race Night:

We will run combos which were chosen by participants which have been randomized in order.

Tire compound will be pre-determined by skill level. The faster guys will be on the harder compound with the slower guys being on the softer compound. If we've never raced before you will start on mediums and I will tweak you from there.

Grids will be set to "Reverse Grid" all night long, but we might throw in some occasional qualifying to keep things fresh.


Points:

1st 16
2nd 15
3rd 14
4th 13
5th 12

...and so on

1 bonus point will be awarded to fastest lap of the race


I will keep a live tally of scores throughout the night (it will be linked here)
We might do 10 races, or we might do 30 races come race night depending on the turnout and interest. We will have drop scores in effect so people still have a chance at winning even though they weren't present for the entire event. More on that later

Current amount of credits for all cars above:

11,768,000 CR.​

 

[Rob Brown]

Interested.

 

[Kgffy]

I’m definitely interested

 

[Kgffy]

On faster guys On different tyre compounds hope not based on div 1 and two because very obvious there’s some of us are in div one not on pace but because of snail only having 2 divs now.

I 100% agree. The upper D1 guys will be on hards, lower D1 and upper D2 will be on mediums, and lower D2 will be on softs. While it's not a perfect handicapping system it'll help even the playing field. I'm not a huge fan of boost, but we might sprinkle some low boost races in for the hell of it too. Just to try and tighten the field

 

[IceWarden]

Hook me up.

 

[Phlano099]

Sounds like fun

 

[Xexploit]

I'm in

 

[SAMHAIN85]

Added you guys. I have a feeling this will most likely take place on Sunday night. Once it's confirmed I'll have you guys start posting combos so everyone can have the correct cars before hand.

I'd like to open up the garage a bit and allow some others cars we wouldn't normally be able to use because of SNAIL's 2million credit cap. Maybe we raise it to 5 million for this event?

 

[IceWarden]

Well I only have 5 mil so hopefully I already have the cars.

 

[Yugofan]

Sounds fun. I’ll be there.
I’m fine with a higher cap.

 

[Rob Brown]

Snail is still $1M, so even $2 or $3M cap opens up some dandies. I’m all for it, especially the $1.8M Shelby Cobra!
Oh and the ‘84 GTO (Ferrari) is an incredible car at $1.8 or $2M

 

[racingchamp30]

I am interested.

 

[llNovall]

@SAMHAIN85
Planning to try get in on the action if my Sunday night stars align. If I am able to make it on, it would be on the later side around 10pm est after the Mrs goes to bed. If not and she's in the movie binging mood I may end up MIA..lol. Mark me tentative. Everyone have a great Christmas.

 

[Harry Rowley]

Definitely in @SAMHAIN85

Could be an explosive way to end a real sh____y year?!

happy Holidays everyone.

 

[LST]

Tentatively in

It's been so long since I've picked a prize that I must've gotten the caps mixed up. Let's set the credit cap to $2M, that should open up more cars without breaking the bank too much

No problem. The lobby will be open for a few hours and you can join whenever.


I think I'm gonna "STOP THE COUNT" and close voting. It looks like 9PM EST Sunday 12/27 will be when we get this party started. @JLBowler when you have a minute please close the pool above thanks.

You may begin posting your 2 combo selections. $2M credit cap for cars, and when choosing a track you can specify which time of day/weather slot to use. Be sure it's the 2 combos you want and don't edit your selections. I don't want people to purchase cars that end up not being used if you decided to change your mind.

If you pick a wet race it's going to be difficult to try and keep everyone evenly matched since there's really only one tire compound to choose. I haven't done too many wet races but I think the drop off from Wets to Intermediates might be a bit steep. So to compensate for that maybe we'll have to use "low boost" for the wet races. And if we do use that, we'll have to throw the fastest lap bonus point out the window since lap times get so skewed with boost on. Thoughts?

As combos come in I'll make an organized list in the first post. Come race night everyone should have most if not all of the cars bought which will make transitioning from one combo to the next very easy and timely. Less bs and waiting = more time for racing.

If you have time to test your combo give me a guesstimate on how many laps the race should be. Our races will fall anywhere from 8-10mins roughly.

Think of this as a casual yet organized open online lobby. Its meant to be fun with hardly any waiting between races, but still competitive with points

ALL DRIVERS WILL EXHIBIT CLEAN RACECRAFT




Race Night:

I will randomly select combos suggested by everyone and we will have an 8-10min sprint race there. We won't use your combo unless you are in the lobby, that way you get a chance to run it.

Tire compound will be pre-determined by skill level. The faster guys will be on the harder compound with the slower guys being on the softer compound. If we've never raced before you will start on mediums and I will tweak you from there.

Grids will be set to "Reverse Grid" all night long, but we might throw in some occasional qualifying to keep things fresh.

We might also use "winner picks class, runner-up picks track" races as well. And have a couple races determined by the in-game track voting feature.


Points:

1st 16
2nd 15
3rd 14
4th 13
5th 12

...and so on

1 bonus point will be awarded to fastest lap of the race

[Phlano099]

TOYOTA GR SUPRA RZ 2020 at Tokyo Expressway East Outer Loop - 18:00

Porsche 911 GT3 RS16' at La Sarthe 15:00 (Tuning Allowed)

 

[CourageRising]

Sign me up as well

 

[SAMHAIN85]

Porsche 911 GT3 RS16' at La Sarthe 15:00 (Tuning Allowed)

This is something I didn't think of. Are you guys ok with tuning? Not for the entire event, just the combos where it was specified.


I will also add the master car list spreadsheet to the first post.

 

[Rob Brown]

Lambo Countach LP400 ‘74 (1.8M)
Alsace Village 2:25 (approx)

Ferrari ’84 GTO (1.85M)
Laguna Seca 1:35 (approx)

 

[IceWarden]

I’m out unfortunately.

Hope it’s fun

 

[Granadier]

Sounds like fun. I'm interested!

 

[CourageRising]

Volkswagen Sambabus Typ 2 '62 (maxed out power ratio)
75,000 cr
Circuit de la Sarthe No Chicane
Lap time ~ 6:30 on comfort tires

Renault Sport R.S.01 '16 Gr. X
500,000 cr
Dragon Trail - Seaside
Lap time 1:39 on RH

 

[Fudman420]

Im late to the party but im down! Ill edit this post after i do some testing.

Pagani Zonda R 09 (1.8m)@ St. Croix B

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 '13 @ Monza

 

[Xradkins]

Save me a seat. Looks like some fun. No pressure.

 

[Harry Rowley]

This price cap would effect me for sure. Would anyone consider just capping total for all cars at $5 mill. I don’t think all drivers have bottomless credits. That would at least give some less funded members a goal to achieve prior. Easier to set people up for success this way!

 

[Harry Rowley]

Suggestions for all spec based on grid and driver level for tires.

Viper SRT gt3-R 15
Fuji International
Racing tires


Ferrari 512 BB 76
Barcelona
Sports tires

 

[SAMHAIN85]

I'm choosing:

Mazda Roadster @ Sardegna Road Track A

Renault Gordini '66 @ Willowsprings Streets of Willow II

I have added all of the combos to the first post. Just hit the spoiler boxes and you can see them all. I'll update them with laps some time tomorrow, and I'll have to specify what each car is since the thumbnail doesnt specify. They are listed in the order they were announced in the thread. They will either be randomized before the lobby is open or as the night progresses.

If you see a 👍 next to your name then you're good and have already submitted 2 combos. If you havent yet please post it asap. I want to make sure everyone has all the correct cars. Remember to keep the car you choose under 2M credits. Merry Christmas!
