Hey Bud! I always love racing with the Snail crew … ESPECIALLY when we are racing street cars!

I might consider rejoining in the new year. Until then, I might just pop into practice when the combos suit my preferences.

Hoping you and yours are doing well.

Here are the unofficial results from our league night on November 9, 2025

Click here for this season's points standings and click a tab at the bottom for more detail.

Click here if the data linked above has already been archived and you would like to view it.

Division 1
  1. PReC_ErickGTSan --- voted to eliminate Round 1
  2. Nic-KL ------------ voted to eliminate Round 1
  3. Ridger23 ---------- voted to eliminate Round 2 - Prize B
  4. Kgffty ------------ voted to eliminate Round 2
  5. Dragonwhisky ------ voted to eliminate Round 2
Division 2
  1. superb3113 -------- voted to eliminate Round 3 - Prize A
  2. JamCar0ne --------- voted to eliminate Round 3
  3. RacingChamp30 ----- voted to eliminate Round 2 - Prize C
  4. Mac1032763 -------- did not submit a vote
  5. Canoworms1 -------- voted to eliminate Round 3
The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Toyota GR Supra RZ '20 (SH) at Tokyo Expressway - South Counterclockwise - S11 Early Dawn (7 laps)
Therefore, the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. @superb3113 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 - Dodge Viper GTS '13 (SS) at Red Bull Ring - S13 Sunset (10 laps)
This means either the car or track will be replaced for next week's line-up. @bublyman 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 @racingchamp30 - 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.

Hey all,

I have been testing combos and with the Corvette CX.R VGT, which has an overtake boost that doesn't seem to classify as nitrous. This boost seems to be infinite, and yields a very high rate of boost. I tried to open a lobby using the SNAIL settings that included prohibiting nitrous, but it still allowed the car to enter the track (it was only me, so i couldn't start a race).

The car is on the SNAIL approved car list, so is there something that I'm missing that might disable it during a race?

We may need to do some more extensive testing on the stock "Overtake" function of at least this car with the Nitrous set to Cannot be installed. I'm home today, if you have time to open that room back up and we can work it out.

Sounds good. I'm back at work currently, and wont be able to open it until around 6pm or 6:30pm EST

Let me know when you're done the power-cycle and Ill join for the test.

We need to check the tire specs. DS tires are RS, SNAIL tires listed as RH.

Under the current SNAIL Tire Specification, all VGT classed cars get shoed with RH.

Room is up and set to SSRX.

The CX.R VGT's overtake function is not affected by the NItrous setting. It held up for almost an entire lap of SSRX.

Besides the CX.R, we only tested the SF cars and the Porsche, 911 GT3 RS (992) '22. The SF cars could not get on track unless Nitrous was set to Required or Unrestricted. We also discovered the SF cars do not have the overtake indicator in an online lobby.

I have a memory of racing the Dodge SVT at Route X and it had an 'Overtake' option. It's not nitrous, but maybe a battery. I had to map a button onto my wheel and hold it for the entire race. I just tried it and the Corvette CX.R VGT seems to fall into this category.

Thanks for testing, guys. It's a shame because the CX.R is a lot of fun to drive.

Just found out that the Infiniti Concept VGT has a similar overtake button, but it's not as violent as the CX.R. Hardly noticed a difference in speed when using it, and it does seem to be tied to battery consumption.

Edit: so does the FT-1 VGT (non-GR.3)

Hosts, please keep in mind, for the CX.R combo, you will have to set the HP to Unlimited, since the slider doesn't go to 2038HP.

Maybe some of these weird things will be fixed in Spec III.
