SNAIL One Hour Endurance Racing

[radliffracing]

One hour at Nurburgring today, Mazda Roadster Touring Car on sport compounds. The 4 hour was @Kryption-evo's idea for some time in Autumn.

Bring your rain gear

Edit: NOW my page decides to reload. Just saw @radliffracing's post

Yeah don’t worry, i’m gonna be handicaped. Actually, i’m planning to reduce my power with the power restrictor and also put some weight ballast to slow me down in the turn too. We’re gonna find the sweat spot to make these races more winable for everyone.

Last time was too much of a handicap

Practice lobby open

 

[radliffracing]

Endurance race room is opening

 

[The_Antman_]

I thought we had to be in lobby by 1630 elite time -

You have to be there earlier than that for qualifying

MIGHT Change start time to include the time needed to be present for qualifying

Ant

 

[radliffracing]

We'll do better at that next time. You still could've raced if you wanted to though.

 

[The_Antman_]

Maybe - but I busted ass t get the bathroom rewired in time for the race. Made it with 3 minutes to spare only to find out you all just finished qualifying.....
.
how about we just post the correct time a member of the forum needs to be present to compete on an equal platform

I agree.
But I believe they are still trying to workout the how to put this endurance series together, how to create parity, environment details etc. The qualifying is an important component to be looked at.

Im looking forward to participating in this soon.

You must've missed this post. It was in the main thread today at 1:04pm EST.

 

[The_Antman_]

I never saw that post and was rewiring -

I definitely was confused - if you look back I posted if this was 4 hours and startimg time etc...... The other post evo and ya'll.talked about with 4 hours - i did ask 3:30 start and the reply was 4 pm practice -

I never race in races that need qualifying - so figured it was 30 minute practice and 4:30 start -

I never saw the official post with regards to official race post -

Damn that sucks!!! I raced sophie several times this morning to be better prepaired.......

My wife tells me I'm a dumbass sometimes -

My apologies gents it appears I need to pay more attention and.look back foe.the official posts.

Very Disappointed in myself and so should all.of u 😇

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I missed that post as well and would have shown up just before the race.

 

[The_Antman_]

Eh it sucks but this will hopefully get all ironed out -

Appreciated the opportunity to race ya'll.-

I did everything i could to finish by 4:30 - had 3 min to spare!!!! Muth fudjer

Would like.to know how it went -


We gonna get a highlights post?

 

[The_Antman_]

Any way we can use a similar or repeating weekly post - something.that declares it like Snail league uses?

I know this was started as just a friendly get together on Saturday or maybe Sunday as a backup - times are variable usually between the hours of?

I'm down for a weeknight endurance on a reg basis - not sure but

Folks with kids and younger people may have a hard time having time to do Sat and Sun snail league -Not sure I just have a wife and Rottweilers that couldn't care a less what my race schedule is -

I always need practice to learn new tracks - consider a diff car or same car as a new snail combo as a endurance may get more people interested?

I look forward to making these a regular race - Any thoughts to get more than 4-5 participants?

Would anyone else participate if it were a diff day / time slot?

Dying for the replay real and how bad Bubley castrated himself 😂

There’s the broadcast that Radliff posted on the main thread. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/posts/14449195/

So far it's been...

4:00 PM EST...Lobby opens
4:15 PM EST...Qualifier
4:30 PM EST...One hour race starts

...each time, but had to be moved to Sunday the first two weeks. The idea is to have it on Saturdays because that's when the host is able to do so. This also works for me more often than a weekday would, hence my high level of participation.

I would still love to hear what night's everyone would be available for some racing events and what ideas would get this endurance race grid packed on Saturdays. With as much fun as it is with four people, I can only imagine how it would be with double digits.

We have incorporated one aspect of Sundays races into the first two, it just didn't pan out on this last one.

@bublyman was at a pretty good handicap with an additional 200kg of ballast. I think this worked well for him versus @superb3113, they had an incredible race! We're still ironing out a way to make it more competitive for everyone.

@The_Antman_ I look forward to seeing you at the next one and I appreciate the prompt to make a more informative post regarding when we're opening, qualifying, and racing from now on.

When you get a chance go ahead and post that you can handle texting duties over here in the D2 thread instead of on this one. Thank you, sir.

To answering Ant in the other topic on what’s next, here’s my contribution.

Maybe, to stay in the « epic » category after a blast like Nordschleife, that’s the best time to run a vintage GR.1 on Le Mans (Porsche 962 C, Jaguar XJR-9, Sauber Mercedes C9, Mazda 787B, Nissan R92CP).

Or a most old with the Ferrari 330 P4, Jaguar XJ13, Ford GT40 Mk.1 and Mk.4.

Just throwing some ideas… ¯\(ツ)/¯

I like the way you think!

 

[bublyman]

@radliffracing Le Mans in VR must be stunning!! And, if we do with the 60’s, i suggest to run the layout without chicane, to be in the proper mood!

How about a little something outside of the box at Le Mans?
