If I get home in time I'll try and join tonight if I can get some laps in. Haven't practiced with any car and I don't know the gilles track.

And besides, while the following statement will not describe the "nuances" of CGV, in a nutshell;
Go Fast, stop, turn left, make right u-turn, go fast, stop, make right, then left, go fast while turning slight right, stop, turn left, then right, go fast, stop, turn right, then left, go fast, stop, make a right u-turn, go really really fast, stop, make a right, then left, do not hit wall of champions (unless you're already one), go fast. Rinse, repeat.

You forgot to include bounce off wall and try to recover. Throw that in after any of those turn right turn left remarks.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
Round 2 - Renault Megane Trophy '11 (RH) at Trial Mountain Circuit - S11 Early Morning (8 laps)
Therefore, the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. @Worst_Driver 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 1 - Nissan GT-R Premium edition T-spec '24 (SS) at Dragontrail International Raceway Gardens - S01 Sunrise (9 laps)
This means either the car or track will be replaced for next week's line-up. @ZoomZoomMf 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 @Dragonwhisky - 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.

Thanks for the heads up, it worked fantastically.


Since it's a returning combo, here's a reference lap for this new track.

Well, that's just the nuts trying to break out of their shells. Stay in your shell, you nut you, and you won't have to try to recover. :P :lol:


@JamCar0ne
Prize C: (or is it B?)
Nissan GT-R Premium edition T-spec '24 at Kyoto Driving Park Yamagiwa+Miyabi, C02 Twilight - 2:32 MDLT.
I dipped into the 2:31s on my best of 15 or so laps. I suspect this will prove the end of this Datsun's current run.
Last time this layout was ran was, as near as I can tell, November '22. It's not as much fun as this car was at Dragontrail... Definitely would get some practice/warmup laps here. Understeer is much more prevalent. Be mindful of the downshift lockout as well.


I'd also like to bring to the attention of everyone in general, and more specifically, the SNAIL BoD and lobby hosts, there are some new settings we can use to further restrict/define car specifications. At least I think they are new with Spec III. I don't recall seeing them there prior to the update anyway, although, I will state, it's been a while since I've taken the time to set up a lobby for anything. I would say, at this time, setting these options is, well, optional. Year (Lower Limit), Year (Upper Limit), Drivetrain & Aspiration.

If nothing else, it'll encourage griefers to leave without a host kicking them, when they can't get their griefing griefer cars on the track.

There is also the option to make rooms private, which, as near as I can tell, hides the lobby from public view and requires participants to enter a room ID code to get in. I'm not certain the juice here is worth the squeeze of the additional steps hosts and drivers would have to take to race. Would definitely keep the random joiners out of the Sunday night official lobbies however.
 
Worst_Driver
Prize A pick: Renault Espace F1 ‘95 (RH tires) @ Yas Marina Circuit. S01 Midnight.
Mid div lap time: 1:59
Back up car: Ferrari 296 GTB ‘22 (SS tires)

Of course I was gonna pick the Espace F1. Sounds amazing, goes like hell but doesn’t want to turn.

Well, already have the car, reckon I'll slobber some paint on it and go run some laps in that OTT before it expires.
