For track, we will go to a track that hasn't been used in about a year. In honor of the 24 hour race last weekend I select:
Nurburgring Grand Prix Track - Sunset C04 Cloudy and Chilly


Primary car: one of my real-life cars (sort of), except my IRL car is not an RS, but the much less rare and less desirable cabriolet. I choose the Porsche 911 Carrera RS (993) '95. This car has never been used as far as I can tell! Lap time 2:22 (6 laps)

Pic of my said car here:

Now I know it's in the UCD and we're on a bye this week so it might not be around next week, so for backup car, another car we haven't used in GT7, the last iteration used was in 2018!

Backup car:
BMW Z4 GT3 '11
Lap time 2:02 (8 Laps)

Question re: BOP - in testing the GT3, BOP changed the power and weight significantly. Is this intended behavior?
 
Everyone likes pancakes that's for sure.
My question to you guys is: do you like hoghlight reels with or without music?

I'm working on a little something and I would like to know your opinion.
Is there a way to, like, insert a poll? 😁
I haven’t seen anybody do anything with music I think it would be cool to see. Kudos for making the effort to share content and make this group that much more interesting. :cheers:
 
Since we're taking off this next Sunday for Memorial Day, I will not host a dedicated practice session tonight. See you guys on other races or lobby in the next few days!
Aw man, I was sooooo looking forward to showing off my new practice livery :lol:

Damn, man...he was about my age. This is so sudden, I wasn't a huge fan of his, but still hits hard. RIP.

Guess where I am right now and for the whole weekendFor this reason I will not be able to participate in this week on Sunday evening

Amuse toi, très jaloux.

I expect you to nail that hairpin perfectly every time we race at Circuit Gille Villeneuve in the future.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hello dear members of the board of directors and fellow drivers.

First of all, @hurbinator enjoy my dude! God knows I envy you! I've always wanted to attend a Gran Prix weekend, especially the Mexico City one, I've heard the F1esta is wild! Speaking of which, I used to text with a canadian girl (I still miss her, she could have been the love of my life) who told me she had attended the Canadian GP once. I think I never asked her what she did for a living cuz I also remember once she told me she had been to the filming set of The Boys. Ahem, I digress, nobody cares about my failed love life.

Anyhoo...I was wondering if anyone could facilitate me the SNAIL logo so I can put in my YouTube videos when I am featuring one of our races, if I even have permission to do so by the way.
Thanks.

P.S.: Alana, if you ever see this, I still love you! :(
 
Do we have the full program for next Sunday? Cars and tracks, that is? Im having trouble sorting through the posts to sort it out.

There’s not gonna be a Sunday Snail race this next Sunday due to Memorial day. It’s one of the four Holiday break for the Sunday races. Here’s the schedule for the year, check the second post on the thread. Weekly schedule

No, I know that. I was just hoping to get ahead of the following Sunday program. I assume it's still based on last week's results.

May 2026 Season - League Night #4


1. Renault Kangoo 1.4 '01 - (Max PP 470) - on CM Tires @ Autopolis - Shortcut Course - S01 Afternoon - (9 Laps)
2. Porsche 911 Carrera RS (993) '95** - (Max PP 531) - on SH Tires @ Nurburgring Grand Prix Track - C04 Sunset - (8 Laps)

** Chances are low the Porsche will survive eight more days in the UCD. The online dealership site seems to be on holiday this week too, so it is of no help in determining this.

In the event the Porsche disappears from the UCD, the Elantra will become combo 2 and combo 3 will become:
3. BMW Z4 GT3 '11 - (Max PP 724) - on RM Tires @ Nurburgring Grand Prix Track - C04 Sunset - (8 Laps)

I always wanted to attend the Canadian GP, but as a high school teacher it was never in the cards. However, I did attend the 1990 British GP at Silverstone won by Alain Prost with Ayrton Senna in 3rd. While I'm a racing enthusiast the best seat at a GP race is in front of the biggest TV you can find. lol
 
Look at all
This space for a rig, quick question I don’t own laptop or computer, how will I’ll update wheel and pedals or can I use tablet or I Phone.
What are you thinking of getting for a rig and wheel?
As far as I know you will need a pc or laptop. Maybe you can borrow one for a day. Most require a windows based pc or laptop.

I have a Fanatec CSL Elite, which requires a Windows computer to update. As an Apple user (not supported by Fanatec) I ended up buying a used, and now blindingly obsolete, Windows laptop. Just to update my firmware. Doesn't seem right, but obviously it was worth it for me. Maybe Thrustmaster is different. Better?

Want a rig that I can mount tv but nothing crazy expensive, and will get Logitech new wheel with pro pedals, I’ll ask wife maybe she needs laptop for school.

Thanks I’ll figure out my options for updating before purchasing a wheel
 
I’ve got a lobby open if anyone is interested. I haven’t been able to race much lately due to my early Monday mornings and figures I have tomorrow off and it’s a non race weekend lol. I’m doing a 21 BRZ / 21 GR RZ86 two model lobby tonight for a while

@Mac1032763 has opened a room instead

I think the PP for combo 1 should be 295 (294.72 in game)
