but you forget many of us were not here and many who raced them are gone. this is a fluid society with a very few remaining as constants. So do not think that because a car was used for 20 weeks that we don't want see it again. Whatever happened to the race proposed for old Combos.

i had suggested starting up a new series to race old combos a little while ago. if i can figure out a free night that coincides with my schedule i would be happy to still do it. let me see if there are any nights that work...

Fixed. Google must have screwed up and moved the tab when I didn't want it to.

I understand this argument (and I am not even racing so really have no say). However by your argument if someone joins the league and on the first week they are eligible and win prize A and choose a lineup that was run the previous month is that ok? Sure it is within the rules and their choice but kinda sucks for the others.

I have run most of those cars and they are all great. But there are so many cars that are equally good why not run them? I would bet most of the repeat cars have more to do with someone not actually taking the time to see if a car has been run before.

It is a balancing act to try and keep this many people happy. One of the reasons I started the DTC was I saw a trend in SNAIL of faster and faster cars and more often than not them being race cars. I wanted an outlet that allowed the normal cars to be used. When I started SNAIL that was one of the things that they stressed was using Normal Cars. Now SNAIL has moved on since then. But what I see is more repetition in the cars we use and car choices that are revolving more and more around racecars and not normal cars.

I end with this thought. If the answer to all questions is Miata and the statement Because Racecar is true. Then the only car for SNAIL is the Miata TC;)

I have a room open if anyone wants to join some random racing.

It's two classes. Red Bull X2014 Jr. and WSR F3. They are the two entry level formula cars and just such a damn fun pleasure to drive.

Hey guys, on recommendation from Aerolightflight I am asking to join the Snail spec series. Thanks.

@Mike Lobban

Here's your official S.N.A.I.L. Welcome Post!​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the S.N.A.I.L. OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide.
Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You take the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and Racecraft Test

2. You run the Time Trial and submit your information by 23:59 EST on Saturday night if you want to race this Sunday.

3. @JLBowler PM's you with your assigned Division that we feel will give you the closest competition. You will be added to the drivers list.

4. Send a PSN friend request to the Race Director or Primary Host from your assigned SNAIL Division. Sunday night you will need to sort the online lobbies by friends and join the lobby named 'snailracing.org Division_(x) based off your Division placement from JLBowler. That lobby will be where you race Sunday.

5. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below. Now if you've actually read this, post a :dunce: on the main thread.

6. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.
If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to S.N.A.I.L. :cheers:
 
D2 Pics! It's been awhile so honk if you love pics!

We had a full grid for the first time I have ever seen. I didn't write down names so it's up to you to find yourself ;) I can't tag everyone and then get half of them wrong ;)

Unnecessary honking is frowned upon (Right D4?) :grumpy:

In a new tangent; I don't know if any of you mentioned it in the past or are aware of its existence, but for all of you analog stick ticklers out there without a wheel, I highly recommend finding an HKS PS3 controller.

It may be wired, but it basically has a 180* 'wheel' and analog 'pedals' in place of the left stick and X&[] buttons respectively:
1407886945257


I bought it when it came out as I was still rocking the DS3 and didn't have a stand for my GT wheel. It made a world of difference, literally from sweating for silver on the license tests to reasonable golds on all of them, albeit with a little getting used to...

They look to be gone from normal retail, but there's some on Ebay and the like... LINK TO MORE INFO

Pretty sure I only paid like $70 for it new a couple of years ago... Not really worth the $100 they want on Amazon...
