Driver Sign Ups
OPEN and continously
being Accepted


Welcome to the inaugural season of SNAIL's Michelin Pilot American V8 SuperCars Challenge using race modified and tuned versions of the Camaro ZL1, Mustang GT350R, and Challenger Demon. They will be spec'd with required and specific upgrades to create our own American version of the V8 Supercars inspired by the popular Australian V8 Supercar Series.
A list of required tuning modifications and livery requirements have been made available and can be found in Section 3 of this post.
Race Events will be once a month on Friday nights, 9pm est.
Start building cars, decide whcih to use, and if interested in joining, please post here in the thread.

To Sign Up,
Due to the inconsistent and unstable nature of open lobbies with cross platform use, this series will be preferenced toward PS5 users. PS4 Users will be allowed to sign up and must be approved for network stability to compete, but will only be accepted in a Reserve Driver role. Drivers who sign up outside of the North American region will also have their connection stability assessed among the remainder of the attending roster during test and practice sessions leading up to the season's start. At any time if room stability is compromised, that driver(s) will be asked to leave the event, or possibly the series if the issues cannot be resolved. I am determined to continue our run of piloting stable and smooth running series on this GT7 title. All cooperation will be appreciated. Please have a glance through the first post, and if interested sign up as follows:

1.) Please Copy/Paste the template below and post in this thread with your information:

PSN ID:
GTPlanet ID:
Car Number:
Car Choice: (not required at sign ups)
PS5 Platform: answer "yes" or "no"


2.) Build your car using the Build Sheet/Spec list noted in Section 3.1
3.) Run the Time Trial noted in the "Time Trial Instructions" tab noted below
Time Trial Instructions:
1.) Build your Car using the Build Sheet and Required Parts list in Tab 3.1 of the 1st Post.
2.) Tune your car to your liking or use an offered tune noted in Tab 3.3 of the 1st Post.
3.) Open an Online Lobby using the Lobby settings noted in Section 1.3 of the 1st Post.
Use these conditions:

4.) Run approximately 10-15 laps or until consistency is established. Screenshot your lap history along with your timing display box showing fastest lap and optimal lap. Then send that to me via psn message (NOVA-0479). I will review the data, and if changes to your PP regulation is needed, I will return an adjusted PP regulation for you to retest. Run time trial again and re-submit updated data as noted above. Drivers that fall in the median 0.7 second window of each other will establish the average and will make up the PRO-AM class. They will not be required to test further. Any outliers, hi or low, will be adjusted and will require additional time trial data. Please make your best efforts to give the time trial your best attempt but most consistent attempt. This will ensure we get the best parity to start the season that we can. Feel free to start running now.
4.) Render your Livery to the series requirements noted in Section 3.2 (Or feel free to request a livery to be rendered)

4.) Once the race finish countdown is complete, drivers may resume un-muted conversation up to the call to mute mics before the next race.

Be reminded that no discussions regarding on track incidents are to be discussed, except obviously, if it is simply an apology and no more. Please review the penalty guidelines for more detail on this policy.

And Lastly,

Please don't be that guy who has their mic on the whole race (If your headphones do not have a mute feature, simply leave the party chat before the Qualifying Session begins**

Race Night CONFIRMATION, ABSENTEE REPORTING, and PARTICIPATION POLICY
Driver "Race Night" confirmation policy
-A Confirmation Reminder Post with ALL drivers tagged will be posted in the main thread as well as a PSN conversation by the Friday of the week before a scheduled Race night
All Drivers, may "Early" confirm their attendance or availability at any time after the most recent Event to establish their priority and grid spot fo the next event.
-All drivers tagged are asked to confirm that they "will" or "will not" be racing by 5pm est Thursday (day before race night) to guarantee the scheduled race.
-A minimum of 10 drivers confirmed to attend will be required to guarantee the race night.
(if minimum is not reached, event will be postponed 1 week. If minimum is still not established for the make up date, the event will be cancelled and we will move onto the next venue)
Race Night Participation Policy
Any drivers that confirm their attendance for Race night are holding a grid spot and committing to a full night of racing. For this series format to function the way it was intended, participation to the end of race night is extremely important. Therefore, any driver who leaves prior to the conclusion of race night will receive points only for the race completed, and a -5 Point penalty will be assessed against that driver's season standing.
-If unable to attend due to a change of circumstances or plans, please notify me as soon as reasonably possible if you are unable to make the event.
*The latest acceptable notice without any recourse is 9:10pm est. *
Any drivers who are confirmed to attend, and fail to appear, will automatically default to a Reserve for their next confirmed event.


Exceptions:
(If you disconnect during a race, please return to the room and wait out the remainder of that race. This will satisfy the above participation policy.)
[Life does dish out Emergency situations. If this occurs, please exit the race and post the message: "Emergency Exit Needed" before leaving the room.]

Please remember that a grid spot was held for you to race when you confirmed attendance which placed other drivers on the waiting list. Let's be sure that the grid spots we are holding are being used up for the night.

Thanks Fellas.
ALL Drivers attending a race night event will be required to submit their performance spec sheet (via screenshot) to either:
1.) My PSN: NOVA-0479 (if choosing discretion), or
2.) The series PSN group chat (if open to allowing others to view your tune)
This MUST be done between the time that the room is opened (9pm est) to the start of Qualifying (9:15pm est)
-If Race 1 is missed, and the driver is attending Race, he must submit before the start of Race 2.

-These will be reviewed post event.
-Failure to meet your specific regulations or submit spec sheets will result in a 10 point penalty assessed against your total score for the event.
It should look like the attached picture, and must be done prior to every event. (Disregard the 650.00pp regulation in picture, just an example)
POST A PIC OF TUNE SHEET
Spec sheet must show:

-Weight (Must remain as noted in chart below)
-Aero locked at 100 front/300 rear

4.) Caution Procedures
Yellow Flag/Cautions Process
Since this series will be a (2) 30 minute race format, we will be instituting a "Called Caution/Yellow Flag" feature to regroup the field in the event of an incident. (1 Caution available for each Race)

The following processes and rules will apply:
1.) ALL Drivers must enter and remain in the 16 driver party chat whether they have a Mic or not. (Chat audio will come through your monitor/tv for those without a headset.)
2.) Mics must be muted at all times, Except:
a.) When a driver verbally requests a caution/yellow flag, or
b.) When the Host/Race Director grants and calls the "Full Course Caution", or directions during Caution (Green this lap, etc)
NO OTHER VERBAL CONVERSATION IS ALLOWED DURING THE RACE
3.) Drivers should continue racing until the Host/Race Director verbally calls out:
"Full Course Caution"
4.) Single Car accidents or "off-tracks" are not permitted to request a Caution at any time. (This can be cause for distraction and will be met with a penalty assessed post race)
5.) At least (2) Drivers of any size incident must request a Caution for it to be issued.
6.) ALL drivers must slow to 65-70 mph, single file, and avoid any contact with other cars.
7.) A maximum of (1) Cautions/Yellow Flags per Race will be afforded. (If there are incidents after a caution was granted, we will stay Green Flag.)
8.) NO PIT STOP. This is a regrouping caution only.
9.) The Caution period will be the remainder of the lap if the incident occurs early in the lap and the field can be quickly re-grouped, or one additional lap if necessary. Race Director will decide and instruct when the field is to return to Green, or whether an additional lap is necessary.
10.) NO Cautions will be granted for any incidents that occur in the final 2 laps of any race.
11.) Cautions called and Granted in the Opening 2 laps will be issued, leaving none left for the remainder of the race. In this situation, the incident will automatically initiate a review with penalties being issued to the driver(s) that created the incident.
PLEASE TAKE CAUTION IN THE OPENING LAPS AND AVOID INCIDENT IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE

How to Call for a Caution:
(At least (2) Drivers of any size incident must request a Caution for it to be issued.)
1.) Verbally over Mic, say: "Caution Requested, by (your name)"
OR:
if No Mic, text in the chat box: "cr" or "Caution"
(If no response from the Host/Race Director within 10 seconds, request again)
2.) Host/Race Director will respond:
"Full Course Caution" when acknowledged.
(Drivers should continue to race until the Caution is acknowledged and issued)

Play by Play Process during a "Full Course Caution"
Once "Full Course Caution" is called:
1.) The Overall race leader becomes our pace car and is to gently slow to 65-70 mph, with all drivers catching up and slowing to the 65-70 mph pace speed, single file and in the position they were in when the Caution was issued
2.) Overall Race Leader is to pace the field for the remainder of the lap when the Caution was issued and/or 1 complete lap if necessary.
3.) All drivers are expected to be grouped up before the final corner. If not grouped prior to final corner, the Race Director will instruct an additional Caution Lap.
4.) Once the field is grouped up and the Race Director is satisfied, he will announce "Track going green on my Call"
5.) All drivers are to maintain position and pace speed until the Race Director calls " Green flag, go, go, go"
6.) The Race Director will call the start at any point from the exit of the final corner up to the finish line for long straight away start/finish lines, or on the longest straight following the start/finish line.
7.) Drivers are not to try and jump the start. Any Driver that causes contact or overlaps the car in front of them in any way prior to the green flag being called will recieve a 5 point penalty assessed to their overall point total for the night. Wait for the Green flag call.
8.) Drivers may begin racing as soon as "Green Flag" is stated by the Race Director.

Drivers may file incidents after the last race on Friday race night to Monday at 11:59pm est of the same weekend.
Penalty filing instructions
-Submit your incident(s) by filing via pm to the Chief Steward
NOVA-0479 (Chief Steward)

Incident filing PM's must include the following in this order for each incident to be accepted:

-PSN name of the driver being filed against
-Your PSN name
-Race Number the incident occurred (Race 1,2)
-the lap number that the incident occurred
-the time the incident occurred (Use time posted in the middle of the screen)
-description of the incident being filed

(Multiple offenses filed on the same driver may be included in the same group PM)

The Chief Steward will select 3 peer drivers to judge the incident(s) in question and will review all incidents filed and submit a ruling in the respective incident group pm by 6pm Friday of the next race event.
Penalty points will be assessed toward the event that the infractions occurred. Any events that incur a penalty(s) will not be eligible as a drop score from the series overall standings.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD AN INCIDENT BE FILED OR DISCUSSED IN THE MAIN THREAD, IN RACE, OR THE INGAME LOBBY. IF THIS OCCURS, A MANDATORY UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT PENALTY OF UP TO 50 POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE SEASON'S TOTAL, AND POSSIBLY A 2 EVENT SUSPENSION FROM THE SERIES AT THE STEWARD's DECISION AND DISCRETION

The Stewards will be utilizing the penalty guidelines set up and used within the Snail Spec Racing Series. Follow the link below for:
Penalty judging Guidlines
All Stewards are to review a replay of an incident in question and reply to the PM with their opinion as to what "Level" the incident falls under, and a recommended point value within selected level to deduct.
*The Chief Steward will make a final review of all incidents filed, taking into account any rebuttals and the other Steward's grading of the incidents and will make a final ruling for issuing penalty points.
*Please Note: If the Chief Steward deems, in any way, the lead driver lost control, and the chase driver attempts to brake or evade, but still makes contact, no penalty may be issued at the Chief Steward's discretion. *
Penalty points will be shown in the Overall Season Standings Scoresheet and will be deducted from the event score it was recieved.
This series will be adhering to the following linked OLR and good racecraft guidelines when deciding fault for any reported incidents.

Thanks again for setting those series up, this must be a lot of work but know that it's very appreciated ! Looking forward to another awesome season of racing with you guys.

Oh and I picked the Challenger for the sole reason that I used to have a 2016 R/T. I didn't test any of the cars yet but I'm committing to the Challenger, godspeed !

I'm working on my livery and I have two questions.
1. I can't seem to find the exact same V8 supercars gen 3 logo. I tried searching with V8, V8 Supercars, Supercars, gen 3 etc. What did you use ?

2. Can I only use the minimum required stickers on my car or do I absolutely have to put a main sponsor ? Having a bigger logo would mess up the paint scheme that's why I'm asking. I'm currently working on putting the minimum required decals and I would like to keep the decals to a minimum. If it's not OK, I'll find another livery to start with.

Look up "supercars" from the gran turismo app.

As for Sponsor, you can do small decals, or you can run no sponsor which would signify a self funded race team...no sponsor.

Btw, as much as I'm inclined to run the Camaro off previous history, I am very tempted to run the Challenger. Still undecided, but lenaing that way.

As the saying goes, the only way to become a millionaire in racing is to start as a billionaire.

It will be a self funded race team then, the only one I can afford to fund, a virtual one. :lol:

Thanks for your reply, I'll post my livery on the thread soon.

I present to you my self funded racing team.

As I was in the PRO class in the last series, I based my livery off that.

Two small details. Even in the app, I couldn’t find the exact gen 3 supercars decal. Could someone share it on their profile please ? And with the Challenger, the only plate design available is the north american squareish instead of the European rectangle.

I'll make a few updates since it appears the logo I was usingbis no longer.

Welcome and glad to see you joining us for our new season of racing to start in June. Still alot of organization and parity leveling yet to do, but we will be ready. As mentioned in the Porsche thread, follow the instructions for TT, livery, and attending. See you on track soon.
 
As inclined and preferenced as I am toward the Camaro, I have run two seasons in that car...time for a change.

Introducing our HPS team supported Challenger sponsored by Tevis Energy. 2 more race events in the Porsche, then all attention turns to the American V8 SuperCar Series Championship.
