Anyone else notice that you get SR down if you get bumped from behind these days (in Sport races)? I've seen a lot of phantom SR down icons since the last few updates. Losing SR from someone else bumping you seems to be the worst tho. I read on the reddit that some people were disqualified for bump drafting in long races too.

I raced yesterday and I do believe i got bumped but there was no visual indication during the race. I even got clean race bonus but my SR was red in the results. That confused me because that usually only happens if I get penalized, which I didn't. A lot of the people had the red SR and I only saw one person with an indication above their car during the race.
 
Remember to sign up for the invitational event coming Friday.

Steward Prize Update

The stewards have completed enough reviews to declare this weeks prize winners. The prize winners are as they were announced in the original results post.

Prize A goes to @Herimopp89
Prize B goes to @AdamK3190
Prize C goes to @ConnorWolf

Herimopp and AdamK3190 are on the clock to choose prize A and choose to use or pass the freeze respectively.

@Herimopp89 Today is Wednesday and you have not made a choice for Prize A. If your selection, or at least a time frame of when that selection will be made, has not been provided by 11:59 PM ET tonight (Wednesday), you will be declared an absentee prize winner and a suggestion and voting process will be implemented to make your choice.

No worries. DR is far more important than SR

SR goes up really quickly while DR takes ages, unless you are beating higher DR players.

Finish high Up the field every race and the Red SR wont impact you.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 3 - AMUSE S2000 GT1 TURBO (RH) at Dragon Trail - Seaside II - 08:00 Fine Weather (6 laps)
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since @Herimopp89 wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - TOYOTA S-FR RACING CONCEPT 2016 (SS) at Circuit de Sainte-Croix - B II - 13:20 Clear (4 laps)
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since @AdamK3190 gets Prize B, he has the option to freeze the car or the track, or he can give that option to the Prize C winner. If he gives the freeze away, then he gets 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 @ConnorWolf so he gets 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 has been confirmed that you don't have any penalties. It's also recommended that you review the SNAIL combo history and other data on our car and track history so that you can get an idea how many times we've raced each car and track. Please remember that originality is always appreciated, so picking cars and tracks that we've never raced is a plus (but not required). What's more important is that you thoroughly test any combo that you are considering before making it your official selection. For example, any car you select should not hit its rev limiter 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 select the Amuse Superlegara for your car, post "Amuse Nismo 380 RS Superlagara". If you want to select Monza for a track, post "Autodromo Nazionale Monza". This makes it much easier for the lineup to be updated accurately and also prevents confusing other league members as to which car or track you are selecting. Also, please be sure to list the PP and HP (after oil change) of any car you select.

Car Selection Guidelines
See Section 3 of the SNAIL OLR, Policies and Guidelines.

Track Selection Guidelines

Sorry for the delay folks but my choice is this

2014 Lexus RC F (N500) SS tires

Autodromo de Interlagos TIME 9:30 clear

I did some testing and the car is a little tail happy but nothing like the s2000 I think it should make for some good quality racing

Ps I hope everything is good with this post the way it is

Yeah, I don't worry about SR too much but I hate seeing that orange down arrow, seemingly out of nowhere. More of a distraction than anything. Finally got my DR back up to B and hoping for higher if I can get more seat time on race C this week. Really digging the TT in this race.

Combo 2 looks delicious
 
I will set up in case no one steps forward.
My internet has not been compatible with a few folks in the past - but don’t want your message to appear as being ignored.
 
My internet has been disconnecting for like a half second every once and awhile lately - thought I fixed it by going to wireless, but seems the problem still exists.
So I don't want to host, I may be disconnected.
