Full Rothmans liveries this week. Wild spread of performance, from a Volvo 240 to a Super Formula.
 
Here's what I'll be sporting tonight.

On January 11, 1922 in Toronto, Ontario, the first human was injected with insulin, a 14 year old boy who lived another 13 years, extraordinary for the time. Prior to this type 1 diabetes was virtually a death sentence. Fredrick Banting and Charles Best, working at the University of Toronto, developed a method to extract insulin from dogs. In 1923 the Nobel Prize for Medicine went to Banting and Macleod, not Best, but that's a whole other story.

BLUF; The only driver aids/assists, AKA "Nannies", allowed in SNAIL Sunday Racing is the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). All other assists should not be utilized, whether lobby settings actively prohibit them or not.

There is a new function available in online lobbies now (came with Spec III) that allows all drivers to view car specifications and what assists each driver has set. There have been reports of one or two Snails having one or more of these assists set to On.

From the brief testing @bublyman, @DRD_Niagara and I just did in the warmup lobby, it was noted ABS is reported as Default, even when set to Weak (excepting when looking at your own settings), Traction Control System (TCS) is shown for all other drivers as 3, even when set to Off (again, excepting when looking at your own). All of the "Nanny" Assist settings appeared to update live as they were changed by other players while in the lobby.

I will state, the page reporting inaccurately of the ABS and TCS each player has chosen, casts doubt on it reporting any of those specifications accurately.

At present, hosts are required to prohibit settings as shown here (spreadsheet displayed below), all Snails are prohibited from using any other assists, except ABS, those settings do not explicitly prohibit. Turn 'em off folks.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 1 - Volvo 240 SE Estate '93 (CS) at Eiger Nordwand Full Course - S18 Afternoon (10 laps)
Therefore, the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. @Nicktune 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 Circuit de Sainte-Croix B Reverse - S01 Afternoon (9 laps)
This means either the car or track will be replaced for next week's line-up. @CANOWORMS1 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 @vovik05 - 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.

Ok,

Prize C selection: SF19 at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta Afternoon S08 preset. @JamCar0ne @Dragonwhisky @CANOWORMS1

I ran a 1:05 flat. With a bit more running 1:04 sb possible (no overtake).

I specifically wanted somewhere I want to go to next in my car. But if this gets to go to Suzuka or Spa next I won't be mad at all :)

Let me know if that's all needed of me. Cheers!

I think the PP for the BMW may be wrong. Brand Central lists it at 524.2 and mine is the same with SH tires.
