To add to @Worst_Driver's adventures, I spent some time auto touring and hiking last week after the Watkins Glen HST.

I reckon I'll be a disappointment to you then, as that would be against current Dragonwhisky Race Team policy. I'll be that back marker, no sponsor, independent team.

All you need is an oversized number!

Hey all,

Heres my prize A choice:
Car - Mustang Gr.3 Road Car (RH)
Track - Watkins Glen Long Course (4 - Evening/Sun)

If possible, try to download or make a NASCAR livery.

Hopefully this is a fun one.

I'd like to ask you a few questions to clarify your choice a bit, in order to be more precise for our friend @JamCar0ne with the line-up.

Is your choice really the Mustang Gr.3 ROAD CAR? If yes, then, according to our Tire Formula, that car must be on Sports Medium.
If you wanted a more race car, like the Mustang Gr.3 RACE CAR, then, still according to the Tire Formula, it runs on Racing Medium.

And for your Time of Day, you must open a public lobby to do your tests. The ToD is not the same on lobby instead of Time Trial.

I already ran some lap times with the two choices here, so:
MDLT for the Mustang Gr.3 Road car (SM): 2:01.000
MDLT for the Mustang Gr.3 (Race car) (RM): 1:49.000

PS software update 26.04-13.42.00.00-00.00.00.0.1 just hit my system. With what I've been tracking, this could mean at GT7 update this month. My recorded average of days between PS and GT7 updates is 19 days.

Take this with a couple grains of salt. The max time I'm tracking is 2+ months.

I just learned that my kitchen floor is being torn off by my contractor tonight... so I don't know if I could be available to host tonight's practice.

You'd better take it for granted that I won't be able to be there. But you never know, maybe it will end sooner than I think. I'll keep you informed.

I might be able to host today, when today and lobby settings?

I usually stick to the same schedule of the Sunday races but, it doesn’t matter that much. And yes, use the same lobby settings of the Sunday Spec ones. Just reducing the number of laps.

Thank you BTW to take over!

It can be up to you but, I usually open the lobby at 8:15pm and start the first race at 8:30pm East.
 
As a couple of SNAILs may know, I've been on a journey through "The Book of SNAIL" for several weeks. It may actually be considered more than 1 book, and we're all currently writing book 4.

I'm currently in the middle of what I'll call Book 2 of this, possibly never-ending, series of strange literature, and just came across the below post I've excerpted a couple of passages from and decided to share them for;
ThrowBack Thursday (TBT) tidbit from 2015.

Yes, start filling the pig for PS4 at least! We all know that's what GT7 will be on.

However, the best thing about Logitech support IMO is that it means GT7 will likely have Logitech support as well. 👍

Had me a bit of a giggle over the former and a somewhat 😲 moment on the prophetic bent of the latter. You may want to skip back several pages to read the above quotes in context.

Another thing I find interesting, SNAIL [Spec] Racing has been around long enough now a TBT does not require an external source.
