Tonight's replays are available at the SNAIL Race Car Series open drive.

@brntguy / bent - again, sorry for taking you out on the turn after the chicane on lap 2 of the second race. I started great, which was a first for me (for those circumstances - in the back with fast folks surrounding me) and I was certain I could make that inside line work, both for you (as in not drifting into your lane/line) and me (enough exit speed to get ahead). Also, apologies to @vovik05 as I messed him up when I was trying to get out of the way, along with anyone else that was affected (I suspect it affected others but didn't see who).

From there things only got worse, line-wise for me. Meaning I forgot how to drive but didn't hit anyone else. This was probably the worst race of my RCS career. So many mistakes . . .

Despite this, it was still fun, and it was another great season. THANK YOU @GGGMotorsport for everything you do to support this. I suspect most have no idea what it takes to run this, along with the TCS, because I had no idea until I became a Team SNAIL member, where I only do a fraction of your work.

End note: do not trust @ParkerMO125; it's a trap. You should most definitely vote for the Megane.

Sorry for turn one race one my brake didn't work at all for some reason.

I was going to like the post until you said to vote for Megane...lol
VOTE LOTUS! haha
No prob on the mishap there Warden, as I said to kg and Grim sometimes bad decisions are made since it's all on the fly. In the end it didn't affect the end result Good racing!

 

[Kgffy]

Really enjoyed my first season racing with u guys, a lot of great battles and looking forward to nxt season, now that I know how much fuel to add before race unlike first race of season hope to get good points next season. Thx for putting on this series ggg and everyone else that helps out.

 

[SGETI]

Great night of racing. I was talking to my son and forgot to save first race. All the pictures are

from second race,
sorry @Parcells2. Thank you Grimm for a fine season. Seeing this is the finally of the season I went a little overboard.

 

[aerolite]

Thanks Grimm for another great season, I'm learning a bunch racing with this crowd!
@vovik05, sorry for getting slow through the last chicane right in front of you in race 2, I felt a bump but didn't realize it made you swerve and then get hit by kgffy and spin, my apologies to both of you.
On a more humerus note, and I have permission from DC to mention this, it is worth watching his pit entry at the end of lap 9 during race 1. There is two parts to it so keep watching, all I'm going to say is I nearly spit my coffee out watching it!

Glad I can bring "Something" to the series! A little comic relief. I was watching the map and waiting for someone to come in to the pits and there I am... Completely blocking pit road and CANT F-ing move! Just glad that didn't happen and I could continue to laugh hysterically! No harm, No foul... Cheers!

I want to thank everyone for coming out to race this past season. Season 7 will start on 2/10/15. Hope to see you there.​

 

[DesertPenguin09]

That was a tough season for me. With missing an entire week of points and coming back with little practice in the car since the inaugural week, yea... But the only other person to only race three races was Fallen_log and I did better than him. It's the little victories.

 

[ParkerMO125]

What a fun season, although greedy on my part, still can't help but wonder how race 1 would've turned out had I not added full tank of fuel 2nd stop @vovik05 ! really wanted that "perfect season". But no, you and me had intense neck and neck battles the entire season and we made each other go faster and faster! Was some of the best racing I've had. Hope to see you next season, rival

@aerolite , could not of asked for a better teammate! The funnest aspect of this series to me is having the Team Championship and I advise everyone to team up and do it next season. Aero and I spent many nights in private team practice and most of them ended up paying off I think(except for the whiskey nights ) Sad to see us depart and find new teammates for next season but rules are rules

And to everyone else, you all rock! There's no better pleasure in sim racing than having that full grid, and that full grid sticks it out and finishes race after race no matter how good or bad it went for anyone. Whether your ultimate goal is to improve speed, racecraft, or just have fun, the way to do it is sticking it out and you all prove to be fine quality opponents.

This series is perfect IMO, and we all thank you @GGGMotorsport , you are levels and levels above what one could even dream of in wanting a quality sim racing league. And shout out to @SGETI for the awesome photos race after race and @brntguy 's video skills giving us awesome race reviews with grim!

AP MOTORWORKS RCS SEASON 6 CHAMPS!

Ditto to everything Parker said!
I want to elaborate on the team aspect. I have only done two seasons but both of them with a teammate. They were both completely different experiences but equally enjoyable. It adds that little extra to the series. In my first season I was with @vsfit, Roy and I are both close in ability and in the same div, so even though we didn't score many points, we practiced together and pushed one another and after had good fun razzing each other. This season with @ParkerMO125 was a huge and fun learning experience for me. When we practiced, (even when whiskey was involved), we were usually doing something that was beneficial, whether figuring out a strategy or trying to improve my lap times. Spa was a great example, Parker worked with me, showing me different lines, explaining why we were doing it that way and I ended up taking over 4 seconds off my best time. It was my goal to get in the low 16's and earlier in the week I got a 1:15.809 after much work, I was so pumped! This would never have happened without participating in the team aspect of the series.
So thanks to Roy and Parker. I look forward to next month and whomever might want this slower guy as their teammate

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Just to add to the above regarding teams, Im working on the new division assignments (many have changed) and will have the info posted soon along with a possible change in the regulations as it relates to teams

Paint update:

Body Color: Royal Blue
Wheel Color: Silver? It's just the color of the metal without being painted.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Gotta change it up. Be refreshing, y'know? I wanted to use Ferrari's Rossa Corsa but you always take red.

 

[kendawg]

Wow, Just 1 point seperated me and @GGGMotorsport for 3rd place. And 1 point seperating 5 place between Z and KG. What a great season.

 

[brntguy]

Another awesome season and a great track to wrap it up on. Great racing from everyone! Enjoy!

 

[aerolite]

Another great replay guy's, really enjoy these so keep it up please. DC's pit stop will go down in infamy! He was still laughing about it when we spoke after the race. I wish I had a video going of myself during 1st pitstop, had an equipment malfunction, went to grab backup off shelf and got tangled in wires, which pulled off my headset, by the time I got going I think I lost at least 10-15 seconds. All you can do is laugh at yourself which makes it really hard to concentrate on driving!
I enjoyed your comments at the beginning, ya, I'm not sure if Parker will give me any pointers next season, back to being on my own
