Event #6 - Barcelona GP
Friday April 4, 2025

Event #6/ Race #1 Recap

Preamble:
The 2024 Michelin Pilot Challenge is already winding down as we head to Barcelona for Event #6 of #7 and everything is still to play for.

The changes to the grid are are as follows:

• OUT - @Dragonwhisky , @Fudman420 & series leader @Worst_Driver
• IN - @MrDonovan , @Kgffy , @CdnSweetTee

Qualifying Table:

I don't have a replay for the qualifying session but the numbers seem odd to me simply because I've spent much time in practice lobbies this week and have seen @DublDee , @CdnSweetTee and @Mac1032763 put in many laps in the 1:52's. What I didn't expect was to see some 1:51's but that's exactly what @radliffracing and @Bologna_Duc did to get themselves on the front row.

So congrats to @radliffracing claiming pole for himself and Toyota. Through 6 Events, Chevrolet (@Bologna_Duc x 2) has two poles, McLaren (@JDMKING13), AMG (@THMP), BMW (@Kgffy) and Toyota (@radliffracing) each have one.

Event #6 / Race #1:

Spoiler: Event 6 / Race 1 Pictures

LAP #1:
It's lights out at Catalunya. @radliffracing and @Bologna_Duc start on the front row and behind them is @THMP and @JDMKING13 . By Turn 1, some of the higher powered cars benefit from the long straight and gain some spots but the grid gets through the first few turns cleanly.

LAP #1:
I thought I'd throw this one in for the heck of it. One of these is not like the others.

LAP #1:
At the chicane near the end of lap #1, we've got our first issue. @Kgffy 's BMW was bumped upon entry and sent across where he T-Boned @llNovall 's BMW all the way to the fence. I believe @Mac1032763 and @MrDonovan might have hit a sideways @Kgffy . @CdnSweetTee had to ease off and managed to narrowly avoid @Kgffy .

LAP #2 - The Snail Way
The previous sequence led to an unsupported call for caution that might have caused radio confusion. @radliffracing entered caution protocol by mistake which allowed @Bologna_Duc to periodically take the lead. When it became clear that no caution was issued, a classy @Bologna_Duc gave the position back to @radliffracing in what is yet another display of "The Snail Way" and earns himself consideration for the "Driver of the Race" award.

LAP #3:
Things finally settle down and drivers are finding their race pace. @radliffracing still leads the group being chased by @THMP who managed to overtake @Bologna_Duc . @bublyman and @Noob01_lmdead round off the top 5.

LAP #5:
At this point, the best battle on the grid is for 5th place between @Noob01_lmdead and @JDMKING13. They would go on and trade positions and paint for a couple laps.

LAP #7:
@Noob01_lmdead comes out ahead from the previous battle but later in lap #7 he gets his tires slightly off-track and causes a loss of grip for the side-by-side action he had with @socalnatv. Maybe too eager on the throttle, he ends up spinning at Turn 4. He'd rejoin the race in 11th spot.

LAP #8:
By now I assume it's getting pretty hot in @radliffracing 's cockpit. He still leads but it must be difficult ignoring what's happening just behind him. @Bologna_Duc got a great run down the straight and with slipstream, managed to overtake @THMP by Turn 1 of Lap 8. @socalnatv can be seen running 5th in the distance. This would be the start of a really intense lap between @Bologna_Duc , @THMP and @bublyman.

LAP #8:
At the start of sector 3 of Lap 8, @bublyman managed to move into 3rd and it was @THMP 's turn to go off-track. He does quite well avoiding a disastrous spin by riding the wall but the loss of grip and momentum would drop him to 6th.

LAP #9:
The helicopter has got fantastic ariel coverage of this sequence featuring @CdnSweetTee , running 9th and taking the wide line in a 3-wide battle with @Kgffy and @Noob01_lmdead . @llNovall and the fans on the grassy hill are all appreciating the action.

LAP 12:
@radliffracing is still getting the job done. Considering @Bologna_Duc and @bublyman are the two trying to run him down, he's kept his focus on the task at hand as the laps go by.

LAP #15:
This seems to be a regular occurrence all season long. @llNovall and @Kgffy pushing their BMW's to the limit, and beyond, as they're engaged in a head-to-head battle.

LAP #17:
@radliffracing has arrived. He sees the checkered flag despite a very strong push on the last lap by @Bologna_Duc . He goes wire to wire to give himself, and Toyota their first wins of the season and bags the extra points for the fastest lap.

@Bologna_Duc and @bublyman will join @radliffracing on the podium. @socalnatv and @JDMKING13 round off the top 5 positions.

Event #6 / Race #1 Broadcast:


Driver of the Race Award:
As I review the replay a few times to pull pictures and to record the broadcast, things stand out to me so I give a shout-out to the following drivers for their performance in Event #6 / Race #1:

• @radliffracing - Not simply for the win but managing to keep @Bologna_Duc and @bublyman behind him is quite an accomplishment. I hope the pool of sweat built-up in his VR goggles isn't big enough to malfunction them.

Honorable mention to @Bologna_Duc for the sustained pressure applied during the course of the race and for the noble actions during the false caution sequence of Lap 2.

Final Thoughts:

• An unfortunate disconnect by @Mac1032763 early on in this one meant our grid was down to 15 drivers by Lap 3 or 4.
• @radliffracing and @Bologna_Duc were clearly the two fastest in this one. They're the only two drivers to get into the 1:51s, both in Qualifying and in the race.
• A big win for Toyota. They join McLaren, Aston Martin, Chevrolet, BMW and AMG in the winners circle.
• Frustrated about the PP Penalty / PP Premium applied to you in this series? Come test yourself in Snail's Sunday Night SPEC League. We've had double digit grids in both divisions for the last month and 2 newbies expressed interest this past week in joining. Your participation is welcomed as a full-timer or a part-timer.

That's how I interpreted Event #6 / Race #1.

Not sure if I missed it but will Spa be the full course or 24 hr layout?

And BTW awesome job @Buffalo_DRD ! Always a pleasure to see your reviews. And yes, if the fan wasn't blowing on me the sweat would have been pouring lol.

Hi Antman,
We are going into our final event in a few weeks, and we currently have a full grid confirned plus a reserve at the moment. You're welcome to sign up and go through the process, but there is onlyba small chance of making a spot on the grid for our finale. Once this series is complete, we move to the Porsche Cup series you just signed up for in the other thread. I usually rotate back and forth between a one make Cup and the Michelin Pilot Challenge multi-make series, running one of them at a time. Start working on the Time trial and a livery for your Porsche as that series will be on us very soon. If you need any help on a livery, please inquire and if any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Also, I'm sure there will be drivers testing and running laps to get acclimated to the Porsche on the lead up to our first event. Looking forward to having you with our series.

 

[The_Antman_]

thank u for the info and a special thanks for your hard work and dedication helping the rest of us to have fun.

You know, if you guys have the time and still have those Car builds from this series initial direction:

Wouldn't mind an impromptu race.

Latest two builds I am very proud of.

@llNovall hey I was just looking at the event detaIls for the finale and the 8th is a Thursday, I didn’t know if it was just a misprint or if it’s happening on Thursday night instead?

Post Race Report and Scoring
Event #6 at Barcelona GP​

Barcelona created some instense battles across the grid. Qualifying and fast laps were spread out a bit across the field with the McLarens and Corvettes making a very strong statement. The BMW, however, was a struggle to find the performance. Qualifying was total bust for me. I was well into the 1:52's with a best in lapping practice of a 52'5, but was not able to find it during qualifying landing in 11th place with a 1:53.3. Not the start I was hoping for. I had some good battles in Race 1 on my recovery run from 16th to 10th after a lap one incident that I was unlucky to get caught up in. But, it was Race 2 that was the stressor for me. Starting 6th in Race 2, I worked my way to 2nd place early only to slide a few postions back to 5th. From the beginning of this race, I was under constant pressure by 5 different drivers, having to race defensively while trying to chase down the front runners. With heavy pressure, I was able to capitalize on an off track of my teammate to take 4th place with 2 laps to go, and then locked into trying to run down @DublDee for 3rd. After closing in over the final two laps and now on the final lap, a small shake of Dub's rear on the exit of T9 (Campsa) was enough to give me a run and the advantage onto the back straight for me get the overlap and race into the T10 braking zone. Once through on an inside pass, I was able to lock it down for a 3rd place finish in R2. This had to have been one f the most challenging and stressful races I can remember in quite some time. That was my race night, and I know there is too much else to highlight, but take a look at the replays...certainly worth the watches.

With Worstdriver's absence and some clutch racing performances by those in the hunt, our standings on many key positions are up for grabs. 13 points seperate the top 4 drivers, with 4 points seperating 5th-8th. Our final event at Spa has implications for so many Overall postions, including the Championship.

Race broadcasts and race re-caps are linked below, compliments of @Buffalo_DRD .....Great work as always sir. Also, for anyone interested, you can view the actual in-game replays through the search tag: snailmpc. Feel free to elaborate on any battles/exchanges you may have shared for this event.
Despite a few incidents, overall it was a great night of racing.

Minimal lag/jittering was present across the field, but was overall manageable.

Driver Standings Recognition
Drivers will be encouraged, not required, to display their current driver standing going into each event after Event #1, though there will be a few rules and requirements.
Drivers who are interested in diplaying their current standing, should collect the following green digital numbers 0-9.

After scoring is finalized and Post Race report issued, drivers will be cleared to edit their driver standing on their number board along with any award tags. Drivers should apply their Standing on both side's boards and be sure their number is in line with their actual standing in the Championship.
Should look like this:

Rules and requirements:
To maintain accuracy and integrity to this recognition, drivers who choose to add their standing to their car will be required to submit an updated profile picture before each event with their scrutineering tuning sheet. Submissions will be reviewed post event just as I do for the driver regulations.
If a driver forgets to submit the car picture with a standing displayed or has the wrong standing placement displayed , it will result in a 5 point penalty against the overall event score. This has to be in place to ensure that those who want to display their standing, maintains the attention and accuracy for it to be credible.
If choosing to display, be sure your edited livery is correct, accurate, and saved prior to each event. If unsure or not interested in displaying your standing, simply leave it blank or just apply double zeros.
The profile pictures will not be used for the Driver profile page, only for scrutineering to maintain the integrity of this recognition.
Again, this is optional, but if done correctly, it will be a great way to know who is where in the standings as the season unfolds.

Event #6 - Barcelona GP
Friday April 4, 2025

Event #6/ Race #2 Recap

Preamble:
Apologies for the delay in this one.

The grid for Race #2 is setup in reverse order. That means @Wetroadracer and @CdnSweetTee will line up on the front row. @cesarr64 and @RACECAR will be behind them in the 2nd row. The two BMW's of @Kgffy and @llNovall will be on the 3rd row.

This race goes off with 15 drivers as @Mac1032763 did not reconnect after his unfortunate disconnect in Race #1.

Event #6 / Race #2

Spoiler: Event 6 / Race 2 Pictures

LAP #1:
The action gets underway for Race #2. No major incident through the first few turns. @RACECAR has dropped a few spots but @Wetroadracer and @CdnSweetTee maintain their spots at the front of the grid.

LAP #1:
The grid still intact towards the end of sector #1, @Kgffy gets a bump from the that would send him into the sand. He'd rejoin the action in last place.

LAP #1 - Lead Change:
For a few turns, @Wetroadracer and @CdnSweetTee would battle for the lead but a well positioned @Noob01_lmdead would take advantage and claim it for himself.

LAP 2:
@Kgffy is back in the saddle and catches up rather quickly with the rear of the grid. A missed breaking point would send @THMP into the sand at turn 1 of Lap 2.

LAP #4:
@Noob01_lmdead still leads but the battle for 2nd is read-hot. It's been exchanged a few times between @CdnSweetTee and her beau @DublDee, but right behind them is @llNovall, @Buffalo_DRD and @bublyman. The person benefiting the most from this fight is @Noob01_lmdead who continues to pad a lead for himself.

LAP #6:
@DublDee creates a little breathing room for himself and @llNovall is behind him in 3rd. Cars in 4th position through 7 are all bunched together and @JDMKING13 in 8th is not far behind.

LAP #7:
More of the same. @Noob01_lmdead is still leading but positions 2 through 7 are bunched together, @Buffalo_DRD lost 2 critical positions on this turn at the beginning of sector 3 on lap 7.

LAP #7:
Event #6 proved frustrating for @Kgffy. Bumps early on in both races have pushed him towards the rear of the grids, forcing him to push hard to get himself back into the action. On lap 6, he gets his tires a little dirty which prompts him going wide at some point and decides to retire the car.

LAP #9:
@Noob01_lmdead is still enjoying a good for himself and @DublDee managed to separate himself from the peloton. At turn 1 of lap 9 @llNovall is engaged with @bublyman trying to hang onto his 3rd position. The Corvettes of @socalnatv and @Bologna_Duc are running 5th and 6th. The McLaren's of @Buffalo_DRD and @JDMKING13 are in 7th and 8th and @RACECAR has also caught up with the group.

LAP #9:
This pic puts the front of the grid in perspective and illustrates the type of racing that is possible in this series. We can see the cushion that @Noob01_lmdead and @DublDee, to a lesser extent have built for themselves while cars 3 through 6 are all bumper to bumper well past the middle point of the race.

LAP #9:
The intense racing between @llNovall, @socalnatv, @bublyman and @Bologna_Duc have allowed @JDMKING13, @Buffalo_DRD and @RACECAR to join the party. At this point, we've got cars in 3rd through 9th place within 1.5 seconds of each other.

LAP #11:
A few laps later at the same spot on the track, the order has changed a little and the peloton has managed to catch-up and swallow up @DublDee but the cars are still bunched together.

On a personal note, I ultimately finished behind all of the drivers in these recent pictures and at times was hanging on for dear life but these laps were the highlight of my season. Door to door and bumper to bumper action with everybody's racing lines being respected.

LAP #14:
Checking in with our leader, all of the fighting between positions 2 through 9 has allowed @Noob01_lmdead to build a lead that only a self-inflicted critical mistake can cause him to lose it. At this time, @socalnatv is in 2nd place being chased by @bublyman.

LAP #15:
A lap later, @socalnatv got his tires dirty, his car a little unsettled and ended up wide into the sand. He avoids a big mistake but his chance at a podium disappears. He'd drop from 2nd to 5th.

LAP #15:
Good racing action is also occurring near the back of the grid as @cesarr64 is defending his 11th place from @THMP. @THMP did manage to take the position shortly afterwards.

LAP #17:
The checkered flag goes to @Noob01_lmdead. He claims his first win of the season with a comfortable margin in this one. He took the lead mid-way through lap 1 and hung onto it until the end. He's a regular during the mid-week practices and this one is well-deserved.

@bublyman finishes 2nd and @llNovall managed to pass @DublDee a few corners from the end on the last lap to claim the 3rd spot on the podium. @Bologna_Duc rounds off the top 5.

Final Event #6 / Race #2 Results Table:

Event #6 / Race #2 Broadcast:

Driver of the Race Award:
As I review the replay a few times to pull pictures and to record the broadcast, things stand out to me so I give a shout-out to the following drivers for their performance in Event #5 / Race #1:

• @Noob01_lmdead - He led for 16.5 laps therefore deserves it. Although his lead might have been unchallenged at times, going 16.5 laps without a mistake is impressive.

Honorable mention goes out to drivers positioned from 2nd place to 9th place which at times were separated by no more than 2 seconds but all managed to race incident free for lap after lap.

Final Thoughts:

• Event #6 proved to be pretty good for @radliffracing. He wins Race #1 and sweeps the points awarded for fastest laps in qualifying and in both races.
• Chalk up another win for McLaren. They've got 5 wins (@bublyman x2, @JDMKING13, @Buffalo_DRD & @Noob01_lmdead) Aston Martin (@Worst_Driver x2) and AMG (@DublDee / @THMP) each have each have 2 wins while Chevrolet (@Bologna_Duc) BMW (@llNovall) and Toyota (@radliffracing) each have 1.
• No need to recap the standings as @llNovall has posted them yesterday but several drivers still in contention for the championship.
• In Race #2's postrace chat, @Noob01_lmdead has credited Snail's Sunday Spec League with helping him hone in on his skills. Our streak of double digit drivers across both divisions continues. Get your TT's in tonight to reserve your spot on the grid for tomorrow.

That's how I interpreted Event #6 / Race #2
