On another note, any SNAILs planning to run the Manufacturer's exhibition race tomorrow?

Maybe, did not plan it but I may give it a shot if I have time.

Still salty the last time I was in a Manu. Cup, and I got intentionally rammed and lost 5 places. Depends on what the combo is.

Anyone else taking part in the Manufactures Cup tonight? Signed with Ferrari and will be running my Snail livery. GT1 is gonna be challenging to say the least, but I’m down for the challenge.
Now…….is it gonna rain or not 🤔

Since the giant garage project is on pause, waiting on drywall and paint crew availability, my plan is to enter the 7pm gt2 slot. If that goes well,call it done. If it goes poorly, have a thought or two on joining the 9pm slot.

By dint of talking about it, you are tempting me... I will surely try a race too!

Did anybody see the DLC that theyre adding to GT7 in december? The features sound fun but its nothing different than a big update IMHO.

Yes. From what I've seen, and the details are a bit on the thin side, it will be a new area/mode in the World Map that offers 50 or so single player races, some of which will be 24 hours, some will have practice/qualify/race sessions, Sophy 3.0 and 5mil credits for an unknown real world sum, dropping into the PS Store on 4 December, 2025 and requiring a PS5 console. The good news with this, at the moment, is no tracks will be behind a paywall. It remains to be seen if there are any cars that will be.
What details there are can be seen here.

7P slot, turned out much better than expected or hoped, for a wet Spa.
Did my usual no qualify, start at the back thing;

Kept it steady and only had one OOB penalty I got slowed down for and;

I'll take that! No 9P slot for me.

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 'nitrous/overtake' button is critical for this car. 'overtake' (IMHO) applies to a battery that greatly increases power, but it's not a 'nitrous' system, so it's OK. It's not infinite, but seems robust. It is throttle sensitive, ie. it only kicks in when at full throttle. So, any time you are at full bore the 'overtake' button adds an immense amount of power. On my Fanatec CSL Elite wheel I have 'nitrous/overtake' mapped to my L3 button; close to my left thumb and away from my up-shift hand. I only tested against a one design AI race and the advantage down the main straight was epic. Managing boost in the twisties will be interesting.
