That's interesting actually. Is there handicapping?

Weight only. Theres a weight penalty for pro drivers to keep the pro am guys at pace. Just the simple fact that the cars can be tuned evens the playing field out a lot. Last race 1st and 2nd place were D4 drivers. D1-D3 guys bringing up the rear and thats a 50 minute race.

Yes Sir.
There are two Divisions: Pro and Pro-Am. The Pro drivers add 50kg to their cars.

Before each 6-week Season, the cars available are given a BOP (Bal of Power).

Check out the Pg 1 Info on the GT-1 thread and contact Die_Birdie. We just finished a Season last Wed.

Oh, I have no interest in joining, only found it interesting that D4 drivers can mix it up with the top dogs. That makes for a fun series I'm sure.
 
Once the series is ported to PS4 , I'm in. No way I go back to GT6, though.
And yes, it does sound very interesting. I love that concept.
 
Yeah, this is where GT really shines; in it's flexibility of use. I don't think any other sim can touch GT when it comes to this kind of customization is use.
 
I hope other Snails were observing the conversation, and will consider looking into GT-1.

CoachMK recently joined the Series. And the Welcome mat is always out.

A fine, fine addition to a series already populated with great people.
A better embodiment of what being a member of SNAIL represents you won't find. There are a few that also only reflect good things on SNAIL, but better than Coach? Impossible.

I'd like to try it again someday. Maybe now that it's winter I can free up some time to participate more.
 
It seems Chicago is the place for sporting history to be made recently. Following the Cubs winning the World Series after a 108 year wait, Soldier Field was the venue yesterday when the Irish rugby team beat the world champions, New Zealand, for the first time in 111 years of trying.
 
Can anyone help me out here? I did the new driver time trial and was wondering if I'm in a certain division, or do I not qualify to race today at all?

JLB will have the drivers list updated sometime this afternoon. I'm confident you'll be on it as long as you've followed all the appropriate steps.
 
Thanks, do you know approx what time rooms open? Sorry its my first time, so not too familiar
 
@Rednose58 The drivers list is updated on our end so you can go ahead and create the scoring sheets whenever you want.

All new and returning drivers this week will be notified this afternoon of their division placement. If you have submitted a time, you will be placed. I just don't have time right now to update the drivers list post and send out all the messages. I'm running a little late this morning and have a tee time to get to.

I'll wait for the post. There are a few new names that show "active", but they don't show the division. No worries
 
Hey guys , I want to thank you all for the good times racing . Because of my new job I won't be able to continue with the Sunday night league . I hope I can get to race again. But I will be at the dark side soon. Long life to snail:gtpflag:

Yeah it sucks, great idea actually, I can fix the laser issue quickly by ordering a new lens for about 20 bucks on Amazon, someone is selling the super slim for 50 on Craigslist, or using your option. Best bet is doing that though, since GT sport is only a few months away
 
FYI D1 still has no divisional link for the new season.

Download the digital and put a day aside for the downloads and installs. Super slim is prone to overheat. Regular slim or refurbished fat is fine

Well, it really depends on how you define "few".
Because if you're comparing it to the time it would take to drive the Capuccino to the Pillars of Creation (discounting gas and bathroom breaks), then I guess 14-18 months are indeed only a few...
 
I would Normally post this in the divisional thread for this season. Unfortunately we don't have one setup.

I won't be racing tonight. Backup host will be needed.

Does it make a sound after you put a disc in that sounds like its being ejected, but the disc stays in? If so I just had this issue, its like a $20 fix.
