Hey, I won't be able to compete here, my mom sold my GT5 copy for accident in a yard sale, I'll post again whe I get another
 
Ah, well, that sucks. Then yeah, they can friend me and share it and I can look at it there (I hope).

They can share it, but you can't borrow it. Go PD. :P
What he can do is send a pic or video of the car at spec, but it's certainly possible.

Oh no, we're down a driver and we haven't even started the season yet :(
 
I may be able to fill a spot if needed. I'm still new to the game, but am interested in both tuning/driving. 👍 School starts back up the 8th for me though, so depending on my workload this semester I'll see what I can work up. 👍

JTQ, there was someone that posted a few pages back, but I'm not seeing them right now. If you want, Zero can fill in, unless you can find someone else.

Sure, we'll take you. I'll PM you the tune for the car you'll be using.
 
This is kinda crazy...car selection cutoff was five days ago and people are still scurrying around testing and swapping cars.

And this I dont' mind. I just wanted a cut off because I wanted them to be picked in an order.

What I'll do next time is simply say, "You have a window where you can pick. If you don't, don't worry, but the window will pass to someone else. Meaning they can now pick the car you might've wanted to pick."

Not sure if that makes any sense.

Anyway, I have a big idea that will make this series much more simple and easy and streamlined in the future. I'll wait until after Tuesday to launch it.
 
I like that car picking idea. Question tho, lets use Jtqmopar as example, team 1 picks, now its jtq's turn, but he is not online for 2 days and his deadline for picking is about to be up. Can his drivers pick a car in his place or does his team get skipped?

How do you know this isn't just playing mind games with the other teams till race day ;)

Now where did this idea come from? lol.
I think the team should get to pick it.
 
I like the "window of opportunity" idea. If there is a draft order and you don't respond with your final choice by that time then the next team picks. Same with driver draft.

I'm not upset about it, I got the cars I wanted so I'm happy. I built and tested ALOT of cars and ended up with my top choices so I'm happy. But next time I might not be so lucky so I like the deadline idea.
 
So, how will racing work? Is each team going to have two of the same car in each class? Or one driver/ car per class?
 
gotcha, thanks

And, just to be certain, both drivers can have different tunes to fit their driving style, or no?

Also, a reminder to everyone:

Send friend requests to SNAIL_Division2 and SNAIL_Division3. The GT class will be in the D2 lounge and the SC class will be in the D3 lounge.

Sorry for anyone who tried to send an FR to SNAIL_Division3. I didn't realize that it was at max capacity again. I've made some room so please send an FR again if you need it.
 
Okay, tonight is the night!

A couple of things...

The countdown timer in the first post is seven hours off. I've contacted the site admin, but haven't gotten a response.

Dabney and I will be in different divisions, so I've asked him to run the other division. He will be setting up the room, starting the races, and recording the finishes.

The SC class will run 18 laps. The GT class will run 20.

Damage is set to full. It is better to be patient and give the guy infront of you some room. If you cause a wreck, then you both may have to make an extra pit stop. The race is long. Be patient.

I haven't updated the cars listed in the second post. I'll do that after the race. I know JTQ's team has already switched their GT car to the BMW 1 Series.

If they want to run the V12, then please, send me a picture. I really don't know if that car will fit. Mind you, there are other Astons that might.

I already know of two drivers that will miss tonight. :( That is a shame.

And remember, the GT class will be in the SNAIL_Division2 lounge and the SC class will be in the SNAIL_Division3 lounge.

I wonder how creative the pit strategies will be this series :sly:

Yeah, especially in GT. There's so much of a wear difference between sport and race tires. I'm really excited to see all the cars tonight!
