-Race length will be cut from 30 minutes to 20 to save time on the night and make sure tires don't get too low. This allows two more races for a total time of 2hr40min instead of 3 hours.
-Due to power loss, drivers are allowed to change cars. There is no restriction or penalty on changing car model. You can buy multiples of the same car or switch to something else.
-The time will be progressively later in the day in order to get a changing shadow dynamic. Grand Valley, Monza, and Fuji are at forced start times but all others will be different from our normal SNAIL start times. This makes the shadows different from what we're used to, consequentially changing brake markers and such. Should be interesting.

In-Game Race Times: (Subject to change if more tracks are added)
Race 1: Apricot Hill Raceway - Time: 9am
Race 2: Brands Hatch GP - Time: 10am
Race 3: Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Time: 12:30pm
Race 4: Nurburgring GP/F - Time: 1pm
Race 5: Twin Ring Motegi Road Course - Time: 3pm
Race 6: Fuji Speedway GT - Time: 4pm

Happy Holidays!!!

Who of the people listed is good for hosting? I know @Adramike said he could. I know I've hosted a Sunday night once and it went off without a hitch so maybe I can start it. If anything goes wrong, Mike will open a new room.

I will slide to the alternate list. You can have a spot in the first 16.

 

[nmcp1]

Looks like my plans fell through for tonight. Put me down as alternate as well.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Grandpa is in and we have 15. I'm thinking of dropping Grand Valley. It's not a real track and kinda long.. Also one less race means we can take our time between races. See you later!

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

my usual colors and the NSX

Can always run it last as an option if anyone wants to race some more. I think 6 twenty minute races are going to be adequate.
Btw, Apricot Hill isn't a real track either
Should be a fun night trying to stay with the fast guys!

 

[MSgtGunny]

No tuning allowed correct?

 

[Whitey093]

Looking at the roster, there aren't really any "fast" guys per se. 2 D2 guys and some D3 guys. I'm a D2 guy and am barely a tick quicker than many D4 and D5 guys. Should be pretty even. I don't think the spread is as wide as maybe it once was. Looking forward to some close, competitive races tonight!!

 

[Adramike]

Aww you're going to drop my favorite track? Boo.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Aww you're going to drop my favorite track? Boo.

It's too long of a track. We already have some long tracks so I wanted to even that out with the shorter ones.

And yea, no tuning. Should be a fun night!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

It hasn't been said but just to be sure everyone knows, the room will be in the main SNAIL club.
