◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Currently Recruiting for GT7 - JOIN TODAY!!Open

[nmcp1]

I have read the first post and would like to join.

Learned about this from @Dragonwhisky

Thank you!

@Evilmuffin

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join SNAIL Racing League:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You start a conversation and add zer05ive, JLBowler, nmcp1, SAMHAIN85, llNovall & Akzl298
as participants.

The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing.

3. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below.

• Original Post
• Drivers List
• SNAIL OLR Policies and Guidelines

4. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL

Cars have been washed and oils have been changed.
See you Sunday

 

[Evilmuffin]

If everything goes right, this weekend could be my very first race in a league. I will do my best to not get in other people's way or crash into the others. Also trying to make my cars more visible to make myself more visible 🤪

Uh oh. Another alien is entering D1. It'll be nice seeing you pester the A+ drivers if your single lap pace translates into race pace! Welcome to SNAIL and looking forward to seeing you out there!

I can guarantee it won't happen 🤧

I'm comically slow in a real race...I have hard time winning some of the races against those silly AIs 🫠

I will wait to judge for myself when you're shpeeding on through the pack. I think you'll enjoy yourself with this bunch of racers. They're fast, fair and are a highly encouraging group. Thanks to them my race craft has improved greatly in the past year!

My goal for the first weekend is just not to cause any incident. If I have to finish last to do that, then so be it

Staying on track is another worthwhile goal.

Here's what I'll be sporting on Sunday. Hopefully our record breaking highs (supposed temperatures, that is. 😁) and my St. Patrick's Day Guinness won't get in the way.

If you guys need some pointers for the first combo, here's a couple of lap guides from @Mistah_MCA and @Tidgney

I love tidgney

Edit: wow I didn’t know he was a Snail

 

[ABrick13]

Repurposed an old whiteboard to help me with hosting so I don’t have to keep checking my phone when setting up combos.

Who has some good racing advice to add?

 

[ABrick13]

Practice lobby for EVO 9 @ RBR open

Probably for about 30 minutes or so

 

[Worst_Driver]

As much as I love the Z8, there isn't many cool liveries in the showcase. Good line up for tonight, looking forward to it and I would like to welcome @Evilmuffin to D1 !

 

[TexHill]

I'm ready for tonight's circus.

I prefer short 10-15 minutes practice sessions a couple of times a week per combo instead of long sessions. I’ve been seeing more improvements since I switched to that method.

 

[JLBowler]

The drivers list and grid list are updated for this week's racing.

@Evilmuffin

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Scoresheets created for tonight.

Will have warmup room open about 7pm Eastern. All are welcome. For those not on my FL, search by the tracks.

 

[Chiochansan]

ready for tonight!

ready for tonight!

I love the Div 2 decal on the McLaren. My cars will be sporting them in April.

 

[ABrick13]

Most of the time my liveries consist of dumb jokes. Repping “Big Kahuna Burger” as a sponsor on my Z8.

That is a tasty burger

well drivers I'm just too busy with karting season gearing up and every day life I'm respectfully stepping away it was fun while I was back wish there was more time in the day week month. PEACE OUT!!!

 

[CANOWORMS1]

My tuning suggestion is to shift the McLaren early. HP decreases drastically after 7500 rpm and the rpm drop between shifts is minimal. I've been using between 1/4 and 1/2 of the HUD bar. IMHO.

Hope to see you in the fall. I usually take the summers off from the league as well, so it won’t be long and @CdnSweetTee and I will be retiring for the season as well.
But not tonight….

 

[ABrick13]

D2 Lobby Open

 

[racingchamp30]

D1 Lobby Open.

 

[FREEREVN]

good luck tonight drivers

 

[Akzl298]

Hosts should start on time tonight. The only reason to delay start is to allow a driver already in the lobby their 3 minutes to sort out connection issues
