HEY! I love this movie! lol

I tthink it's a good movie. But it's a crappy Tom Cruise movie. He's the best, but he has some issues, there's a father figure, there's conflict with a rival, there's a redeeming moment of the rival, there's Tom triumphant at the end.
But this one has race cars!

Yes I mainly enjoy it for the racing scenes.
 
Suicide race tonight. Everyone warn the significant other to keep an eye out.
 
This made me chuckle...

We are racing the Lotus at the Nordschleife, everyone should warn their significant other about possible suicide attempts. Lol

If you were there for our detailed drive/walk through on Monday, there would be no suicide attempts... Just sayin'

Can't wait for tonight's race! Hope there is a good turnout. Great send off for the Lotus.

This is going to be off the wall insanely fun. I wish we could run it for 2 hours...
 
Great fun tonight at the Nordschleife, a proper send off to the Lotus.
Here are the results I captured at the end. I broadcasted the whole thing (no commentary), so anyone wanting to watch it it's at twitch.com/flipjj (or flip_jj, one for the two...).

Nice lap time flip!

Nice lap time flip!

It was a good lap, but there was a sub-7:30 on table and it's pretty useless to do a good lap and then spin and get T boned in the next lap.
I did try hard to make up time, but the lap with the damaged car simply made it impossible to get to you and Alex, because when I got within 6 sec of Alex, my tyres were dead, the brakes were gone, etc., so I had to back off...
But I still think this was incredibly fun. I hope we run more races at the Nordschleife, so hard to find people that are willing and also are good racers that you can tussle with without death.

EDIT: @Zii1993 and @Alex ONeill, when can we expect a decision on the car? I'm really curious and I like the new selection format!

  • Drivers coming off and on pit road always stay on the correct side of the pit road line (DO NOT cross the solid line).
  • Most races will be under clear weather, however some races may include rain (refer to schedule for specifics).
  • If you get disconnected or decide to quit during a race you will get a DNF and finish last.
  • If more than one person quits or gets disconnected during a race, your finishing position will be determined by the number of laps completed.


Application Procedure


  • GTPlanet ID
  • PSN ID
  • Livery Choice
  • By submitting your application you agree to the S.N.A.I.L. OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR) along with following The Good Racecraft Guide.
  • Only Complete driver applications per the above will be accepted for securing a spot in the series


Tuning regulations
  • This is a full tuning and full damage series.
  • As the goal for this series is to provide a clean, respectful and evenly matched cars, all drivers are encouraged to share their tuning information with other drivers. This is to help foster a gentlemen’s agreement that we are all here to have a good time and enjoy a fun night of racing.


Eligible Drivers
  • Although encouraged, you do not need to be a SNAIL driver to participate.
  • Each week I will list all active drivers in the Pre-Race report with the intent to have all Active Drivers that plans to race confirm their intent to race (just like we did for the top 10).
  • If there are less than 16 drivers confirmed, we will not need KOQ that week and we will open the Lobby to all drivers @ 8:30pm Eastern.
  • If there are more than 16 confirmed drivers that week, we will implement the original KOQ process and only the top 10 will be locked in and all other will need to go through KOQ per the below process.
    • On race night, all main event drivers are to be in the lobby by 8:55pm eastern.
    • Any driver that is not in the room by 8:55pm eastern will lose their spot to the next alternate
    • Exception to this rule is if you reach out to me via PM or PSN msg that you are having issues and need a couple extra mins.
    • Alternates should remain on PSN and ready to join lobby if informed by the series director that they can join the main event.
    • This will be managed at the discretion of the Series Director. Please don't wait until the last minute to try and get in the lobby
    • Main Event Drivers not in the lobby by 9:00pm run the risk of missing the first race. The qualifying/race will not be restarted once the qualification/race has started.

    • 8:00pm – 8:10pm – KOQ Lobby is open (If needed)
    • 8:10pm – 8:40pm – Knock-Out Qualifying (Practice Mode 1)
      • Refer to Knock-Out Qualification Process below
    • 8:40pm – 8:55pm – Open Practice (Practice Mode 2)
      • All Main Event drivers enter lobby and prepare for Main Event Qualification
    • 9:00pm – 9:10pm - Race 1 Qualifying (10 Min Qualification Mode)
    • 9:10pm – 9:55pm – Race 1 (45 Min Race)
    • 9:55pm 10:05pm – Open Practice to allow for tuning adjustments
    • 10:05pm – 10:50pm - Race 2 (45 Min Race)
Reverse Grid Procedure
    • On race 2, after the 10 min break, when the race starts we will run at a safe pace (around 62 mph 100 kph)
    • Either series director or one designated by the series directors will call off the grid order
    • Everyone is to get in position when your called, failure to do this will result in being placed in the back
    • We will run double file with pole being on drivers left 2nd on the right 3rd behind pole and so on
    • We will go green at the start but there will be no passing until turn 1. Passing before turn 1 will result in a 3 point loss. (Side by side into turn one is bound to be tight and have some battles, this is fine, the 3 point rule is to maintain a closer start and keep people from taking advantage of the rolling start)
    • Weaving will be allowed but remember this is all saved and if you take someone out you will be placed in the back and given a 3 point deduction.
If KOQ is required, Zii1993 will count the locked in Main Event drivers (per the above procedure) and announce how many grid spots are available for the Main Events both in the GTPlanet thread and in the Lobby.

8:00pm – 8:40pm – Knock-Out Qualifying (Practice Mode)
  • 8:00pm - Official Practice Lobby opens for drivers outside the top 10 in points and any current top 10 driver and recent Series Champion who did not confirm participation per the above procedure.
  • Entry into the Knock-Out Qualifying lobby is reserved to the first 15 Active Drivers that enter the lobby.
  • Retired drivers may enter provided there are less than 14 Active Drivers in the lobby.
  • You must not leave the lobby as your lap times may be erased.
  • Drivers participating in the Knock-Out Qualifying may join at any time during this 40 min window. No requirement to run the full 40 mins however you do need to give yourself enough time to get on the track and log a lap time.
  • Can run as many or as few of laps as needed.
  • Remaining grid positions for the Main Events to be determined by fastest practice times during the Knock-Out Qualifying Lobby up until 8:40pm.
  • A photo of Best Times will be taken by Zii at 8:40pm to lock in the best times.
  • Zii will announce who has made it through Knock-Out Qualifying and qualified for the Main Events.
  • In the event we have more spots available than participants at the conclusion of the Knock-Out Qualifying, then everyone will advance to the Main Events!
  • Knock-Out Qualifying lobby crashes - In the event of the lobby crashing in the final 15 mins of Knock-Out Qualifying, grid positions will be awarded based on first come first serve into the original Knock-Out Qualifying lobby. If lobby crashes within first 25 mins, a new lobby will be set up and drivers will need to post new times in an abbreviated session.
  • Main Event locked in drivers should not enter lobby during this time.
  • If the KOQ lobby is full prior to 8:25pm and an Active Driver is trying to get in (that person MUST send a msg via PSN that they cant get in PRIOR to 8:25pm), I will look at the current lap times (no earlier than 8:20pm) and the driver(s) with the fastest time(s) will then be locked into the Main Event races and asked to exit the KOQ lobby so that the waiting driver(s) can enter.
  • The above process will only be allowed for a max of 2 drivers trying to get into a full KOQ lobby prior to 8:25pm.
  • Anyone trying to get into a full KOQ lobby after 8:25pm will be considered too late for that week's race.
  • Drivers knocked out during the Knock-Out Qualifying will need to leave the lobby. Sorry.
  • We expect all drivers to follow the S.N.A.I.L. OLR(which is a modified version of the GTP OLR) and pursue good racecraft at all times.
  • If you're not sure what good racecraft is, watch this video.
  • It can be summed up in one simple 'Golden Rule' of motorsports: It is the responsibility of the overtaking driver, meaning the car that is attempting to execute the pass, to make sure that the pass is made cleanly and incident free. If you don't agree with this rule or don't think it applies to you, this is not the series for you.
  • "Blue Flag" expectations can be found here.
  • Part time drivers will be allowed to re-apply to Active driver status at the start of the following season based on case by case request.
  • All drivers will refrain from doing donuts, burnouts, drifting, driving backwards/reverse or any other activity that would be a distraction to other drivers on the track during all Official RCS Sanctioned Events (practice sessions, KOQ, Main Events, etc..)
  • Additionally, if you are going to park along the track edge to "watch" please make sure you are as far away from the racing surface as possible so as to no cause a distraction to other drivers.
  • In the event of an incident with other drivers during the race, do not discuss it via chat during the race. Repeat offences of this policy will result in being suspended for a minimum of 1 week.
  • Drivers are to continue to race and put their best effort the entire race night.
    • Due to the unique nature of the series and the KOQ process, this is to ensure that drivers are not left out that would have otherwise raced if given the chance
    • Of course real life situations occur from time to time as well as the random DC. This is not meant to penalize the occasional situation.
    • Continued repeat violation of this regulation will be managed at the discretion of the Series Director.

Season Selection Process
Part 1 - Car Selection:
  • We will provide two or three cars to choose from (including tire compound and fuel/tire ware setting to be used).
  • I will also list up to 12 potential tracks to be considered for next season (these tracks will be voted in Part 2 to determine the schedule).
  • Number of votes cast per driver will be the total of races you participated in (same as current process).
  • Drivers will have 48 hours to vote for a car.
  • Car with the most votes win.
  • In the event of a tie, the Individual Series Champion from the most recent season will break the tie.
Part 2 - Track Selection:
  • Once the car has been selected, I will then put the tracks up for a vote.
  • Minimum of one "vote" for each track grouping (will provide minimum of 2 tracks to choose from in each grouping)
  • Number of votes cast per driver (for all four votes listed above) will be the total of races you participated in (same as today's process).
    • If you race in all 8 races, each of your votes will be worth 8 points
  • Drivers will have 48 hours to vote for the tracks.
  • The top 1 or 2 tracks in each grouping determine the track selection for the following season.
  • In the event of a tie, the Individual Series Champion from the most recent season will break the tie.
Points System
  • At the end of the season each drivers lowest week total points will be dropped of of the points. In other words the series will count your 4 out of 5 best weeks.

2nd = 22
3rd = 20
4th = 18
5th = 16

  • Individual Champion earns the right to the #1 car number for the next season.

Hi all, I am interested in joining this league for the new season.
 
HazardLvL4
Hey Brotha, where you have you been??? Missed having you on track. @Alex ONeill & @Zii1993 I can vouch for this guy, raced with me back in the days when I had my own league.
Click to expand...

Hey Hazard, yes it's been awhile. I was super fortunate to get a new position with a great company but it has been eating up a lot of free time. Finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel and can get back to some project cars again.
 
I found my issue last night. I knew it wasn't me. I mean I was medicated, but no more than normal. The throttle spring broke right in half, never had this happen before. A brake spring I could understand, I am really hard on that pedal, but a throttle spring? Cheap Chinese tin crap springs. I can steal the clutch spring in the meantime. Be back up in a few hours.
Doctor Sloban to the rescue. Nurse.....pass the allen key and retract that spring so I can insert the new one into the orafice. Wipe my forhead and keep your mouth shut. My bedside manner sucks.

Edit: time to close up and send to rehab...surgury was successful. We love you Dr. Sloban.

Anybody wanna repeat last night?

I felt I got bumped which caused my out of control situation. Quite possibly lag induced. Maybe it was curb, but it seemed very solid and a bit lateral. Not enough practice, annoyed by the late re-start... Probably shouldn't have been there in the first place. Sorry SGETI. :(
 
You are good with me. Just a racing incident. I came up over the hill and I know you were not there taking pictures. I will race you anytime. :cheers:

Warms my cold, cold heart to see how good the people in here are. If only we could solve more serious issues with a "it's all good" and moving on.
Cheers to you, gents, SNAIL spirit lives on.
