SNAIL Tuner and Team Series III - S15 RM Challenge - Sign-ups Open

[irmopars]

so I haven't been drafted and mopar hasn't been drafted...whichever tuner has the picks at the snake from rd 1 to 2 could benefit from picking us together... just a thought. Do what you want obviously....but you know think about it.

esh, you on this frequency???

I was actually all set to draft you wyvern, but then hillracing signed up. You are two on my big board of available drivers. If we get enough drivers and you are available at the end of next round, then you might join Golden Hoe Racing yet.

 

[CSLACR]

I would say have the draft and car selection both 7 days before the first race.
I'm very close to finished testing for car choice too.

 

[jtqmopar]

Just so noone gets mad, if any of the drivers want to test a couple of the cars I have pre-tuned, just add my psn with SNAIL and I'll have them on share.

*the Subi's are for FITT tuner challenge

 

[CSLACR]

I'll take the M3 CSL. My drivers will love it.

Can't take shared cars online though.

I'm marking you down as taking the E46 M3. The CSL model has too much HP. Yes, you can probably run a new one, with zero miles and no oil change, or a high mileage model with engine wear. But... you could also just run the bog standard M3 and re-create the CSL.

It is up to you. No one else can run an E46. It is now jtqmopar's car choice.

 

[jtqmopar]

Since I'm the only one that hasn't picked a color, I choose red!
And I'm going to be running the premium Mustang GT (Mustang V8 GT Coupe Premium '07)

No, the regular M3 is massively slower.

I asked about this very specifically...

It is slower in default trim. No reason why you can't make it faster.

But yes, you can run the CSL. But the CSL is just an edition. It isn't a completely separate car. I'm just saying that if you have problems getting the CSL to work, you might be able to accomplish the exact same thing with a similarly built standard M3.

Either way, it is entirely up to you.

Noted. Now it is up to JoeW. And I think I know what he is going to pick.

In GT5, the CSL is totally different, and you absolutely cannot make it perform anything like a CSL. A big enough difference there are other model cars I would take before the regular M3.
The GTR was close, but is for some reason slower top end than the CSL.

No worries though, by simply letting the fresh oil wear off it'll fit the regs.👍

 

[WiiFreak]

If you guys have spots open still, I'd like to join in

That may be. As I've said before, GT5 is anything but a simulator.

 

[diabolicwyvern]

I plan to drive a midget. That way when accidents occur, I can carry several drivers back to the pits.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fit the weight regulations, being 600 KG's off the minimum with full ballast, though the Tacoma X-Runner could compete

It does meet the drivetrain requirement though

Good stuff wiifreak. The draft just got more interesting

Okay, I missed before that Bowler was willing to drive, too. So, now we have 21 with Wii.

So, we need another four drivers before Wii can drive. Unless one of the first twenty doesn't want to drive. Bowler, did you want to drive, or did you just want to drive if it pushed it up to two classes?

Now, here is the challenge, and I feel so very unorganized: We now have two classes.

Each team will now get four drivers. Each Tuesday, we will run two rooms. Two races at the same time. Each room will run different HP/weight regulations. Each team will send two drivers to each room.

So, tuners, you now need to pick a second car.

Most of the votes were for the 450-500 HP range. And I am not sure in that range, what to go for. I'm thinking 1450 to 1500 Kg. I want to have this class as inclusive as possible. I don't want to pick something and have it limit the choices. Cars being too light or too heavy, or a smidge too much HP, or whatever.

So... tuners, in a PM to me, pick the cars you would be willing to use this class, and tell me the HP/weight range that you can reasonably get the car in. And I can completely understand if the car will generate X HP but you don't like the way it behaves with that much HP so you only want to consider it up to X-Y.

This is all still something of an experiment. So bare with me. Once I get a feel for the ball park that you tuners are looking to work in, then I'll set that and you guys can start to draft your cars. I'm guessing the most fair way is to snake the car choices just like we've snaked the driver choices.

But... CSLACR has picked the E46. I don't know if he would want to use the E92, too, but I think it some what symmetrical if he ran BMWs in both classes.

There is a slight problem with this, though. Nissan and Mazda don't really have good contenders in this class. So I don't see a problem with teams picking two different manufacturers, one for each class. So, should we just snake the car draft, or not?

Opinions, ideas?

 

[JLBowler]

I wanted to drive but I didn't want to have to let any of my drivers go so going to two divisions allows me to drive and keep my team together.

 

[Jahgee]

I won't be driving, so that is why I made my list as long as I did

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

Cool.

Go team orange!

You don't have to drive.

You don't have to drive.

I know, I just figured I would let you know.

Dang, that means no FF class

 

[IceWarden]

I am still testing cars. I should know by tomorrow for sure.

As far as the second class of cars...there are soooo many options. Just give us a horsepower and a weight. Maybe give us a little more leeway on detune like maybe 5% just in case.

I don't care what the weight/hp is but give us a spec and I'll build a car to meet it

Well, I got first pick in the draft, so that would leave me with the very last pick on car choice.

I would say 500/1500 for the second class. I am positive there are enough competitive cars available. Maybe allow 95% PL just to allow more higher end models more easily. Plenty of awesome cars fit 500/1500 with 95% PL.
As I'm doing with the CSL, there are alternatives to PL that bring power down, it's more about being easy to do.(imo)

Hey Wii. I'll draft you if you're still left.

 

[jtqmopar]

I would say either 500/1500 for the second class. I am positive there are enough competitive cars available. Maybe allow 95% PL just to allow more higher end models more easily. Plenty of awesome cars fit 500/1500 with 95% PL.

I agree with this, but with no restriction on drivetrain to make it interesting

Anyone not using a MR layout will get beaten, everyone knows that

I'm not sure that's true, but maybe.
A couple cars come to mind...

This is getting more complicated by the day I tell you.
