You know the racing isn't very good when the F1 announce sounds like he's going to have a massive coronary any time two cars get within 4 car lengths of each other.

That's because the current announcers in F1 aren't very good. Certainly not at the level we had with the old 'Speed TV' announcers who actually understood the American television audience.

I'm sorry I've missed the past couple of weeks. My 82-year-old mother has been in the hospital for the past four weeks, and I have been getting home late from the hospital. I may not make it this coming Sunday because I'm going to the PPG 375 at Texas Motor Speedway, and I don't know if I'll get home in time. I work for a Penske owned company, and we were given free tickets.

Easter weekend, my wife and I are going camping.

Going three wide into Daytona's first corner. We all survived without a scuff ;)

  8. Skills_19657 ------ voted to eliminate Round 1
The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - Ford GT Race Car '18 (RM) at Daytona International Speedway - Road Course - S06 Evening (9 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @racingchamp30 wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.
PLEASE NOTE: Since @racingchamp30 has already won Prize A this season, he is ineligible to win it again until next season. This means that unless he loses Prize A due to incident reviews, any driver who competed in Division 2 on Sunday night will have the opportunity to suggest an entirely new car and track combo. I recommend that all D2 drivers from Sunday night start TESTING combos they would like to suggest. That way, you will be ready to post a good combo when @JLBowler gives the "all clear". It's important to mention that a good combo will not have a car that hits its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in a draft). Also, please be sure to only suggest one combo. Any driver who suggests more than one combo will automatically be ineligible to suggest any combos at all. Please don't let that happen to you. Only suggest ONE combo (but not until @racingchamp30 is confirmed as the Prize A winner).

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Mazda RX-8 Spirit R '12 (SM) at Grand Valley Highway 1 - S01 Evening (7 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @Worst_Driver gets Prize B, he has the option to freeze the car or the track, or he can give that option to the Prize C winner. If he gives the freeze away, then he gets to decide what car or track replaces the part of the combo that is left unfrozen by the Prize C winner.

Prize C goes to @JamCar0ne so he gets whichever option the Prize B winner does not select.

Preliminary prize winners, please don't announce your prize selection until all incident reports have been filed and it has been confirmed that you don't have any penalties. It's also recommended that you review the SNAIL combo history and other data on our car and track history so that you can get an idea how many times we've raced each car and track. Please remember that originality is always appreciated, so picking cars and/or tracks that we've never raced is a plus (but not required). What's more important is that you thoroughly test any combo that you are considering before making it your official selection. For example, any car you select must not hit its rev limiter at any point during a race (even in a draft).

IMPORTANT: When posting your Prize A or Prize B selection, please list the complete in-game name of the car and/or track you are selecting. For example, if you want to choose the Integra Type R as your car selection, post "Honda Integra Type R (DC2) '98". If you want to select Monza for your track, post "Autodromo Nazionale Monza". Being specific helps us to update the lineup accurately and also helps avoid any confusion among the drivers. Also, please be sure to list the HP and Weight (LBS) of any car you select. For track selections, include the time of day (e.g: 09:00 Clear) or else it will be left to default.

Car Selection Guidelines
See Section 3 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

Track Selection Guidelines
See Section 3.1 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

With that. The drivers of D1 get to vote to freeze the Mazda RX-8 Spirit R '12 (SM) or Grand Valley Highway 1 - S01 Evening.

You must cast your vote in this thread, you only get to vote once, you can't edit to change your vote. Voting will close at 11:59 PM ET tonight (Tuesday) or when a majority is reached. If you are tagged below, you are eligible to vote.
@Nicktune @DublDee @Kgffy @Chiochansan @Xradkins @ls1tech
 
Good thing I was a repeat prize winner, I would have frozen the RX8 😉

But I’m ok with GVH, I really like the new track except the last sector before coming up to the start/finish line straight. IMO, the track lost some flow in the redesign, the last slow corners are a bit awkward.
 
Prize C:

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor '11
SH Tires
55,000 Cr (This is also a 'Menu' car, but don't recall which menu book it was)
Running 2:18 laptime

Tested a few cars on Sport Hard tires and was a bit shocked at how quick this 6000 lbs monster is. It's 4WD gives a stable drift through the fast esses, but its mass makes cornering a challenge.
