I have read the first post and would like to join.
I saw SNAIL in the GT7 lobbies and have been looking for a league.

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join the SNAIL [Spec] 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).
  • Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to proceed with your entry into the league:
  1. You start a conversation, by clicking this link, and add zer05ive, JLBowler, nmcp1, llNovall, Akzl298, JamCar0ne & Dragonwhisky as "Recipients".
    1. The conversation title should be "Request To Join".
  2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join 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 these links.
    1. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating and maintaining this league and we would be more than happy to have you race with us. We do ask you take the time and effort to prepare. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts linked below.
  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

As an aside, there will be more to get done once you start the conversation and, if you want to race this coming Sunday, you'll need to get it all done by 11:59PM eastern time Saturday night.

Division 2
  1. JamCar0ne --------- voted to eliminate Round 2 - 95 (76.47 for Prize B)
  2. Gurney_67 --------- voted to eliminate Round 2
  3. RacingChamp30 ----- voted to eliminate Round 2

  5. Cstriker ---------- voted to eliminate Round 3
  6. Tex_Hill ---------- did not submit a vote
The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Ferrari 296 GT3 '23 (RM) at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve - S08 Afternoon (9 laps)
Therefore, the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. @Worst_Driver wins Prize A, and gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - Super Formula SF19 Super Formula/Toyota '19 (RH) at Yas Marina Circuit - S01 Midnight (10 laps)
This means either the car or track will be replaced for next week's line-up. @JamCar0ne is the Prize B winner and they have the option to freeze the car or the track, or they can give that option to the Prize C winner. If they give the freeze away, they get 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 @bublyman - they get 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's confirmed you don't have any penalties.
  • It is recommended you visit SNAIL combo history, along with other data on our car and track history, to review how many times we've raced each car and/or track.
  • Please remember, originality is always appreciated. Although not required, picking cars and tracks we've never raced is a plus.
  • What's more important is, you thoroughly test any combo you are considering, before making it your official selection.
    • For example, any car you select must not hit its rev limiter, either hard1 or soft2, at any point during a race, even in the 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.
  • Please be sure to list the HP and Weight (LBS) of any car you select.
  • For track selections, include the Preset Weather and the Time of the Day (e.g.: S01 Afternoon) or it will be set to default.
    • Available settings can be found under Time/Weather Settings, when creating an online Lobby, after selecting your track.

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.

1Hitting the "hard" limit causes the RPMs to "bounce" and reduces torque and speed.
2Hitting the "soft" limit ceases all acceleration potential. Meaning, you're not going to go any faster.

I'll make my pick tomorrow, I'm waiting for the UCD to completely refresh by then. I have some never used cars in mind for the moment. One thing is certain, we'll be slowing things down a little bit after last sunday's GR3 and Super Formula cars.

Fun night in D1, I really didn't expect to enjoy combo 3 as high downforce race cars aren't my cup of tea but it surprised me once we raced it. The overtake button added an element of strategy as well. Great pick, it got me out of my comfort zone.

Mid div lap time: 1:31

Back up car: Mazda Atenza Sedan XD L Package '15 (CS Tires)

I said we would be taking it slow this sunday, here goes. Both cars haven’t been used in SNAIL and if this combo survives we’ll be racing my current daily driver, a 2017 Mazda 6.

I'm afraid I won't make it tonight. Don't have the cycles needed after struggling with ChatGPT the last 4 nights, getting some automation repaired. I'm going to have a cigar, then do my Tokyo grind race in my #1 Camaro, (speaking of which, @ErickGaToRR , where's them pics we all gathered for eh?) then go to bed at a more reasonable hour tonight.
