Event #1 Race Details

Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta

SO8 Humid, Sunny and Cloudy
22 laps/Race
Welcome Drivers, finally, for the re-start of SNAIL Friday Night Racing. We back to the SNAIL Michelin Pilot Challenge using select Gr4 Race Cars with specified aero and transmission regulations. Most driver's time trials have been received with enough data to establish classing and parity. Those who have completed all the required time trialing, your driver regulations have been set and are posted below in this post. This chart can also be found in Post #2 of the thread. Those who have yet to submit their initial time trial or who still need to re-submit their 2nd TT are asked to do so as soon as possible. Once final regulations and classing are set, all drivers are also asked to verify, update, and submit a final screenshot of their updated livery if on a handicap or concession.
Below are the details for Event #1 at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on Friday, November 15th, 2024.
Drivers are encouraged and reminded to confirm their attendance status as soon as possible to secure their spot on the grid for race night or Reserve Priority. Be reminded, this series runs on a "first to confirm" priority. First 16 drivers to confirm are guaranteed a grid spot. All additional drivers that confirm thereafter will be marked as Reserve drivers with priority based on order confirmed. Be sure to confirm your attendance as early as possible. All additional drivers to confirm outside the first 16 will be on Reserve status for this event.
I will be hosting practice sessions in the afternoons periodically over the next few weeks between 4pm-5pm est, and am sure there will be other rooms open during the evening prime-time. Get those laps in and be ready.

Track Map and Boundaries
Keep 2 wheels on or within the white line where curbing is not present, or on the curbs where they are present at all times, except where it is specifically noted otherwise. The white line and curbing is considered legal track surface. Failure to comply to track boundaries could result in penalties if infractions are witnessed and reported.
Road Atlanta Exceptions:
Turns 2 and 3 Chicane and Turns 10a and 10b:
Any solid painted curbing beyond the checkered curbing will be considered legal track surface. 2 wheels must remian in contact with the painted surface/curbing at all times.
Turn 5 (T5)
For this corner, Turn 5 at the end of the S's the large checker curbing will be considered track surface...2 wheels must remain in contact at all times. In this instance, it is obvious that you would want to keep all tires on the curbing to avoid contact with the gravel.
Beyond the curbing, where the tarmac runoff is past the white line, will be considered legal track surface up to where the grass begins. 2 wheels must be on or inside the white line where the grass starts at the exit of the corner.
Below is the link for the 2nd Post in the thread with the most updated driver regulations. Those highlighted in yellow either need to run an initial TT, or run a follow up TT to get the regulations confirmed. Please get these done in the next week or so, so you can be practicing on the correct regulation for the season opener.
Drivers Roster and Regulations
Please see below for the rules if not completed before race night:
Any drivers that do not submit a TT before the start of the season, will default at the base 650.00pp for event #1. Lap times will then be used to assess for an adjustment for the next event.
Also, if a driver that has not run the TT posts a fast lap more than 1 second faster than the next fastest lap posted in the same race, that driver will be assessed a 15 point penalty for that race. (This would apply to the second race as well if a break out occurs in that race due to no TT data). Please get your TT done and submit to my PSN ID: NOVA-0479 before the start of the season or a driver's first race of participation to avoid any chances of break-out. (If a TT has been completed and turned in and assessed and a driver breaks out as noted above, the above rule does not apply. That would be on my assessment and success penalty would catch up to you)
Looking forward the opener. Confirmations for Event #1 are now OPEN.
