@JasRum

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!
​
Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join:

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 @CoachMK21, @Dragonwhisky, @JLBowler, @nmcp1 & @zer05ive 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 club. Sunday races are organized exclusively through the GT6 Community features within the game.

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.
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. If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL :cheers:
 
During this last week I was pretty massacred with wrecking again finishing without incidents only 35% of the races I was in so I'm a little apprehensive for tonight.
Hoping for the best.
 
Yeah User, believe it or not, earlier today I was watching a video on YouTube about how to avoid being wrecked on the race track. Some tricks for you to minimize the carnage you get involved in. I believe that sometimes I might be in the wrong spot, on the outside or whatever but lots of times its a weird magnet phenomena like Chatva mentioned before.
But, what this video refers as number 1 rule is you gotta know what kind of people you're racing with, what kind of stupidity they usually do, predict it and dodge it.
 
First time is an accident, second time it's a coincidence, third time it's a pattern. If you think you're involved in a lot of accidents, maybe having a look at your track position relative to other cars is an idea. Sometimes all it takes is track position, not necessarily outbraking yourself, bad overlap, or bad cornering.

On top of that, try to learn some habits and driving characteristics that you see in the people you race against. You'll start to pick up on who brakes late, who brakes earlier than others if they are following, who concedes when side by side, who respects the line others have when pulling along side, and who squeezes people so they have as little track to work with. It is tough to pay attention to these things while you race though. I mostly pick up on this stuff when following a car, or a group of cars. Things like this will also help you plan a pass on the person. Use their weaknesses against them!

Exactly, I choose who I'm going to really race with. If it's "that guy" I take no chances, protect the car
 
I understand that falango but most of the wrecks I find myself in is the guy ahead that lost control of his car, spun, hits the wall and bounces back into the track involved in a cloud of smoke. For some reason, our lines always meet at some point. This is the part I'm working harder in avoidance technics.
Second is the dive bomb. What in the world can you do against a totally unpredictable dive bomb committed by that guy that is actually an awesome racer but for some weird reason just had brain fart?
Third is the guy that forgets to break to the chicane!!! What do you do to avoid this?
Honestly, bad positioning must be 5% of the problem. The rest is an absolute bad luck or lack of it all.
@Lessen , when this kind of stuff happens to someone a little too much out of the ordinary, rage quit becomes a natural consequence, believe me.
 
Just too let everyone know I lost my house and had too move in with my brother so I won't be racing until I get racing until I get internet but everyone have fun until I get back

I'm going to guess that I've been taken out by divebombs maybe 3 times in the 4 or so months I've been with SNAIL. I've had several drivers try to divebomb, and I have managed to avoid some. As they dive in, gauge their speed and how much turn in they will actually achieve. A quick straightening of the wheel can help you avoid some of these. Some are unavoidable, yes, but again, are they repeat offenders? If so, plan to take the inside line next time they are ready to attempt a pass. People that dive bomb will never be able to pass you on the outside because they never try it.
 
Guys, once again, please shut down any practice rooms that are running in the club lobby. If you want to practice right up to race time, please do it in the open lobby.
