◆ SNAIL [Race Car] Series - Finished - Thanks to everyone who raced during the past 12 seasons!

[GGGMotorsport]

Hey, just want to say thanks for hosting such a cool championship! It ended up being even better than I thought it would be. Learned a lot about strategies right away in the first season and importance of preparation. Very competitive and clean racing as well!
I'm excited for future seasons in new cars and on different tracks!

Glad you enjoyed it. It was great to race with you as well and I look forward to racing with you in season 6.

Last night was a lot of fun, and no connection issues at the start! Thanks to all the faster guys that were patient with me when I was trying my best to stay in front, and I hope I didn't mess anyone up too bad when I made a mistake!

Grim, ditto what vovik said! I learnt a bunch of stuff over the month and I know it has made me a better and faster driver. The strategy part is very cool and I love the pit stops. Overall a very enjoyable series, good clean racing and a great bunch of racers, looking forward to next month.
Thanks again for organizing and hosting this series.

I wish a safe and happy holidays to all,

The sun was brutal in spots during the second race last night. Was almost like racing at a new track.

All the drivers listed do NOT have locked in spots. There are some alternates listed

 

[brntguy]

If I vote for a driver favorite from the list you have there, I want to cast my vote for someone who will be available to race should they win the chance to participate.

 

[GGGMotorsport]

Interesting. I'll need to think about that should it ever come up.

After 7 drivers have submitted votes its very close. Every vote will be critical so if you want to have a say in the tracks we race or have a particular favorite, don't delay in getting your votes in. As an example, all the original tracks are separated by 1 vote, while 6 (of the 9) world tracks are separated by 1 vote. Get your votes in.

Nice try my friend!

 

[GGGMotorsport]

So Im just about finished getting the initial draft of the spotters guide created but need some help from a few of you. Here is what I have so far

• @ParkerMO125 - I cant get that chip. Is there another one that is close to what you are using that I could use for the Spotters Guide?
• @Kgffy - Still need you to pick a number that has not been chosen in the OP and also the actual pint chip name for the Blue you are using.
• @brntguy - I cant get that chip. Is there another one that is close to what you are using that I could use for the Spotters Guide?
• @vsfit - I cant get that chip. Is there another one that is close to what you are using that I could use for the Spotters Guide?
• @Fallen_log - I cant get that chip. Is there another one that is close to what you are using that I could use for the Spotters Guide?

If I could ask you guys to get back to me right away so I can wrap up this process. Thanks

​

 

[Kgffy]

I'll use #49/ and I'll get online this evening to pick color

 

[IceWarden]

Ugh. Now I'm going to have to see @Kgffy and @kendawg twice a week?

Once a week was already too much

 

[ParkerMO125]

I'm confused on what the spotters guide is? That master drivers list with my color on it looks like the color I use?

 

[IceWarden]

In preparation for season three, I have created a "Spotters Guide" for the series.
Please let me know of any corrections I need to make.

@ParkerMO125
It's basically a thumbnail guide like this. He only does it when everyone cooperates with paint colors in time to make it.

 

[ParkerMO125]

Closest I can find is Crystal Laurit Silver from the '09 SLR McLaren

Thanks. you can still use the Matte Dark Silver in the races. This will help with the Spotters guide so its at least close. Thanks again

 

[Zii1993]
