Thanks kcheeb. As for practice tonight, can someone break in a dodge for me before practice tonight? I'm at work so I will not have the chance. I'll gift whoever does it a car ticket, or a birthday ticket depending on what I have. If I'm not already friends with the person ill be on around 930

Will you be up late? I am going to try to do some practicing tonight.

Yeah I'll be up late. Gonna do the full practice, and then some. Performance was under par, taking a break from drawing naked people and mixing paints (illustration major ughhhh), gonna spend tonight honing in the dodge as I struggle with that car completely. The other two I'm pretty confident minus turn one at monza. Still haven't found a braking point that works every lap. Also curious to see if tire wear is different.

Would it make sense to put a limit on 2 FR combos at a time, and the other can be either MR, FF, AWD? If the non-FR is votes off it must be replaced with another non-FR.

Personally, I'd rather see three different drivetrains each week.

I agree with this to an extent, but then that takes away the winners freedom to choose whichever car they would like. Say prize a was a ff but the winner had been waiting to choose his favorite rr car. Think that could lead to disappoint. Unless we implemented a winner getting to pick a drive train that runs for a given time and a car. Like every month the winner of any division with the most accumulated points selects drivetrain a for that month. Runner up chooses drivetrain b and so on. I feel like we've got a pretty good thing going on right now though. I just enjoy throwing my ideas to the table.

I ran the db9 last night and did 8 laps (plus an out lap) before I noticed any tire wear:( I like how the races seemed to just start to suffer tier wear if you were over aggressive and sliding a lot. Now it looks like that will not be an issue:( I will look for you when I hop on.

If complainers did more winning than complaining we'd have no more complaining ;)

But then the people that were winning would ...

That's the thing when you get a large group of people together, doing something they really like. There are a lot of opinion's and we encourage the voicing of same 👍

For the most part we do a good job of discussing :)

Not bashing you or your jibe Joe, just thought I'd throw one of the things I like about S.N.A.I.L. out there.
 
SNAILS are always winning.

Bahaha. Idk why that was so amusing to me. PS if you guys would like me to throw together some T-shirt design concepts I can probably get some solid looking graphics around December when I finish up for the semester. PM if you are interested and we can discuss some ideas. I'd love to contribute to something positive.

I love the ideas that get thrown around. But simplicity seems to work best. Perhaps we should do a Drivetrain night.
 
Can someone on my friend list do me a favour and send me a broken in Dodge for tonight? I'm hoping to make it for practice :). I'll be sure to return the favour next week!

@ zeromisfit - I found it amusing in that it was a turtle vs snail thing.

I did as well, and i would happily send you a car if I wasn't in the exact same boat haha

It's all in fun. I have all these kick butt track/car combos in my head but I can't stay on the track long enough to win a race :)

And so I must continue to dream :)

Never a doubt, I just have these moments ...

No doubt you'll be there. All that's left is consistency 👍

There's always the power of suggestion. Try it.
 
btw, just though about something ...
can someone reject being promoted ? I'm not in any risk of it, but is the option available ?
 
On that note I gotta plug D2 for being a really solid group of clean and respectful drivers. I trust all of them in bumper to bumper or fender to fender action. Who would want to leave that?

So true. When I first got back into SNAIL I was disapointed to be back in D2 after being in D1 for so long. Now, especially with the way prizes work, I don't want to leave!
 
Yeah, I dont think I could back a drivetrain restriction here. besides the fact that in the game, RWD vastly out numbers FWD and AWD by a significant amount, it takes away from the winners as well. They won, they pick, we deal. Hence racing the tesla for a second time.

Point taken. I'm just finding it to be reaching the stage of 'predictable'....and that isn't really making it very exciting :indiff:
