Regurgitation of said information would imply prior knowledge so retention would be the answer to your question. :)

Why pay for a class if you plan to fail? Your knowledge is only as valuable as what you apply it to...

My only argument... short term memory vs. long term.

I love beer.

@GTP_Nobby , you have a very good argument. I didn't look at it that way before, and I agree with you. A little pre-fight warm-up is probably beneficial. Maybe I'll start getting online a little early to loosen up from now on, just not in the official Sunday night race room. Oh, and thank you for bringing up the different levels of grip in the rooms. I have noticed how much that can change.

Until finally in 1994 we won ourselves that elusive title only to find out that the raceway was shutting down for good after the end of that season. So that was it for racing.

At least you finally won the championship in that final year at the track. I think it is actually rather poetic.
 
I'm not going to be able to make it to tonight's race due to family plans.
 
haha, nice present from PSN

Welcome to D7 @Dyanamo1992 , you'll be added soon to D7's convo by a Premium member, looking forward to see you on track tonight
:cheers:
 
looking forward to racing with D4 tonight! Bring you best personalities, as i plan on streaming.
 
We've had many new racers join since the last time this was brought up, some coming from other series and leagues that have a different set of rules. I see it occasionally in practice rooms so I figured I'd send out a reminder...

Ghosting cars
G: Note about this section: With the penalties in game set to off, the only reason a car would ghost is if the start button were used. The use of the start button during a race is prohibited and is considered using a cheat in game. This section of the OLR is left here in the event that another SNAIL series wants to use the in game penalties and would need rules governing ghost cars.

:cheers: good luck racers :cheers:

The car turns in better once you lift off the brake, so try braking in a straight line or not trail braking too deep into a corner. You can probably release the brake earlier than you think if you do it smoothly. Don't shift the weight too aggressively, let the car turn itself and balance it with the throttle.

What if you spin in a tight spot and want to make sure everyone else gets by safely because you don't have room to pull over? Should you leave your car as is and make everyone drive around you, potentially causing a larger accident? Genuinely asking.
 
Seeing as driving through a ghost car is prohibited, there is no reason to hit the pause button in the case of a spin

Yes. There is no ghosting in real life. Accidents happen and there are consequences to those accidents.
 
ok, streaming is on hiatus until thursday. Had a long day walking chicago and a long day today driving back.I havent enough energy to tend to family duties and scramble to get my equipment up. I'll be on shortly to get some practice in though.
