SNAIL One Hour Endurance Racing

[bublyman]

I have no other special plan for this Sunday night so… I’m free to race!😁

 

[The_Antman_]

No snail tgis weekend - i could make...... Although it might not be as fun as bubbles and Radliff 😳

 

[The_Antman_]

Maybe or friend up North in Canada Joe could participate @Oshawa-Joe

 

[TexHill]

I've got nothing planned for Sunday night, so that would work for me.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I can make it Sunday night.

 

[Kgffy]

I’m
Available Sunday night

 

[radliffracing]

Looks like I'll actually be able to make it as well. Looked iffy for a while today. What time are we thinking @TexHill? Same setup with the Viper at Laguna?

Lobby opens at 9:30?

 

[The_Antman_]

I think Joe and I will run a.practice lobby later if anyone wanta to rub up against one another for awhile....... I mean cars

 

[The_Antman_]

Or lobby opens at 9 - qualify 9:15 - race 9:30....

Due to the late nature of a confirmed time there may be a bit of a cluster at 9:30....... The official practice / qualify / start were never confirmed so not sure if we lost any participation due to uncertainties....

 

[TexHill]

Lobby opens at 9:30?

Lobby open at 9:00 race starts at 9:30

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Is this spec with BoP?

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Is this spec with BoP?

I may join, if there's a slot, if I have the car✅(just bought it and slobbered some paint on) , if it'll be run with no tuning, if I get dinner done and if I finish the F1 race stream by race time.

Yeah, lotta "ifs" there.

 

[radliffracing]

It's always been spec up to this point and I don't believe it's changed for today

 

[DublDee]

I may try to run this tonight if there’s room

 

[The_Antman_]

Theres usually 4-5 so there should Be plenty of room @DublDee

Whats the tire and fuel consumption rates? 1x / 1x?

 

[radliffracing]

@DublDee I've seen about 10 people show interest in racing tonight. Plenty of room left as far as I know.

@The_Antman_ the consumption rates are usually set higher. Like 10x and 15x but I don't recall exactly. That's @TexHill's secret formula.

Here's what I can tell you. All three tire types will be required. Usually some fuel mapping strategy is necessary. I've been told the damage model may be active this time. Since Wets and IMs aren't on the list, I don't expect any rain tonight ( in game that is, its storming at my house ). We run open mics during the race, you're all encouraged to join in.

Anticipated to show

I was considering some Porsche cup practice afterwards but open to other ideas.

 

[arethosetacos]

I can join up!

 

[radliffracing]

Practice lobby open

 

[DublDee]

Just a couple newbie questions here.
Who hosts these events and is it a friends only lobby?
Just trying to figure out if I need to send someone a friend request

 

[radliffracing]

Texhill and I don't believe so

I'm hosting. Lobby is open. Open to everyone as long as they drive respectfully and have the same car

 

[CANOWORMS1]

Last year at this time I posted an AI image of the RV I would be driving for a bit. That was a trial run (rental). This is the real deal. We'll be racing McLarens and Porsches on our way to Haida Gwaii. Ours isn't red and white with the #27 on the side, sadly. But it is an LTV made in Winkler, Manitoba, my birthplace.

PS,
The awning is actually on the other side of the vehicle. You just can't count on AI to generate a perfect image. 😆 But, it does have the dual rear wheels like we do. I should have added smoke.

Edit: Sorry, posted in wrong thread.

 

[The_Antman_]

i have not watched nascar style racing since the days of Bill Elliot, Buddy Baker, Bobby Allison to name a few

The Coca Cola 600 last night was a fantastic race streaming on Amazon Prime - the third stage was starting when the endurance started

the endurance race from snail and the Coca-Cola 600 were both being watched at the same time -

Both were entertaining -

Did anybody save a replay from last night? I captured the results but forgot to save replay.

That was a lot of fun having a bigger group there, thank you all for joining us.
