Snail Gr4-Michelin Pilot
GT4 Cup Challenge
Season Opener
Pre-Race Driver Briefing
Friday, July 30th, 2021

at 9pm est

Well Gentlemen, its that time again. Hope everyone had a great summer break these last few weeks, and thanks again for everyone's patience to delay the season opener. But, now its almost here...approximately 36hrs away.

It's Event #1, at Barcelona, for the opening race of the all GS Class Snail Gr4-Michelin Pilot GT4 Cup Challenge. Compliments to everyone efforts and work on some great looking liveries for this season. Have a look at the Driver Profile Post, and the Team Profiles post directly below it to see who is who. Great job👍
All drivers have submitted a time trial and have been leveled and balanced based on those submissions. Now it's time to let the race events and success ballast system do its work to fine tune the parity as the season progresses. Get those tunes set, and get some last minute laps in....competition is expected to be highly challenging.

A few quick reminders to all drivers attending:
*Please be patient in high traffic, especially in the opening laps.
**Respect the space of the drivers around you, and make every effort to race as clean as possible.
***Race hard, Race consistent, and race fair.

Let's showcase the clean and competitive racing that Snail has always been known for.

Drivers are also asked to please review or refresh themselves with the series Caution Process noted below:
Tab 4.2 Caution Process. (In 1st Post of thread)
Any questions, please ask.

For Reference:
Confirmation Reminder Post Event #1

Now, the Roster for Event #1.
Though we do have a few absences, it appears we will have a very large turnout confirmed for this event with the help from a few of our Reserve drivers...15 drivers set, with 1 primary and 1 reserve tentative. High probability of a full grid. See the roster below:

@Noob01_lmdead is still noted as tentative, and if absent, the spot will be available to our tentative Reserve @aedenmaddok if he is available.

All Drivers that have confirmed to race and are tagged are considered primary drivers for this event and are expected on the grid. If anyone thinks they may be tentative or must cancel, please let me know by 8pm est Friday (Race Day). Any cancelled entries after this time will result in possible forfeiture of primary status or forfeiture of Reserve priority for future events.

Please verify your driver specific BOP Regulations before entering the room:
View attachment 1070455

It is the responsibility of ALL Drivers to verify your BoP regulations prior to entering the race room or at the latest, 5 minutes prior to the Start of Qualifying. The BoP Tracking Sheet will be displayed here and in other reminder posts leading up to each event. I will not be verifying BoP regulations prior to the start of Qualifying. Rather, the Race Director will screenshot the in game Driver Performance Regulations screen just prior to the start of Qualifying to be referenced during scoring.
Any Driver whose BoP is not correct for the event will recieve a 10 point penalty against points scored for that event.
Please verify your BoP regulations before every race night.

The Race Rooms and Party Chats will be open for entries and warm up around 8:50pm est. Please be in the room no later than 9:10pm est to have your entry verified.
15 minute Open Qualifying to start at 9:15pm est.


Good luck to everyone, and see you all on the grid for the green flag:cheers:
Do we have lobby time settings for nurburgring?

Conditions:
17:00 Clear

To all Drivers tagged in this post, please confirm your status by posting here in the thread or via PSN message that you "will" or "will not" be racing by 5pm Thursday (day before race night) to secure your grid spot and/or to adhere to the absentee policy.


The final Driver BOP regulations have been updated and shown in the 2nd post of the thread. Please verify and apply these latest numbers to your car before entering the race room. Check and double check your BoP number prior to each race. Race Director will not be verifying before the race other than to take a screen shot of the driver specs screen to review post race. Any drivers with incorrect BoP values will be issued a 10 point penalty against their score for the event raced. Please verify your BoP.

Also, I would ask that all drivers re-review section 4 of the first post, (Caution process) for the series. Any questions at all, please reach out and clarify before race night.

The race Event schedule is shown below:
9pm est- open room and verify bops/warm up
9:15pm est -15 minute Open qualifying
9:30pm est - 19 laps to = 40 minute Race 1
10:15pm est- 19 laps to = 40 minute Race 2, (Reverse grid)
Race will be using all updated series rules and format. (Caution rules will be used if needed)

Race Event Details
-19 laps for each race.
-17:00 Clear
-1x fuel consumption/1x tire wear.

BoP Chart and Drivers List
All drivers are required to be in the party chat whether they have a mic or not. Caution calling and directives will be issued through the party chat, and for those without a mic, it would come through your monitor/tv audio.

(In the event a Caution is called during the race, I ask everyone to be patient and cooperative.)

Please review tab 4.1 in the first post and clarify or ask any questions before we get to race night.


All drivers who make it on the grid, please stay in the race event for the night if at all possible, as we could potentially have had to turn some drivers away, leaving it a wasted opportunity for them to race. In the Event of a solo off track or spin, run to gather up as many points as possible (and there is always the possibility of a Caution to get you back up to field). Also, ballast adjustments will only be madenif the event is completed. Stay with it and you could earn some help for the next event.

Primary Drivers will be given priority for each class, then go to the Reserves for each class as needed. Reserve Driver priority will be based on event participation, then based on order of confirming availability. Please reply with your intentions either way.


Anyone with a 👍 has already confirmed and are noted to be present for Friday, August 27th. Everyone else, please confirm, here in the thread or via PSN message, that you "will" or "will not" make it no later than 5pm est Thursday (Day before Race Night). Please reply either way

Thanks for the early reply. Hoping to get you on the grid for the next one.
 
Confirming for the 27th
Hey Sand_68,
With 1 event raced, you are the first priority reserve group, and with this confirmation, you are our 1st reserve for Event #2. Bologna_Duc has reported absent for this event which guarantees your entry for event #2. See you on the grid on the 27th.

@llNovall

Please withdraw my entry in the Series. Having to make some Budget cuts recently, which includes my SIM Racing addiction.

Thanks for allowing me to run in the Series.
Jack
Jack,
Thanks for the notice. The grids won't be the same around here without the No. 36 cars. Please know, we're always here. Drop in the forums if and when you can, and if the opportunity arrives that you can join us back on track, your entry is always welcome. Take care, and see you around sir.
Chris
 
@socalnatv /Sand_68
As posted above, TEX36 has retired from the series leaving open a vacant primary grid spot. Per our pm conversation, with 1 event raced and your confirmation of availability for Event #2, you secured the highest priority among the reserve group and have been offered the open spot.
I'd like to announce that Sand_68 has accepted the open primary grid spot. The drivers list and profile page has been updated with the changes. Congratulations and welcome to full time status.
 
@llNovall What kind of lap time is thought to be competitive? And more importantly, what’s the policy on the chicane regarding running over the corner marker? This has a large impact on lap time.

I think 2:03's will be competitive pace with fastest laps in the low 2:02's. As for the chicane, it can be attacked aggressively in regards to approach. It can be straightened out, but be sure to keep at least the 2 outside wheels on the curbing at all times.
 
@MrDonovan
@Harry Rowley

Just a reminder. Please reply as early as possible to give Reserves plenty of practice time in the event your absent. Hope to see you guys Friday

Team,

When I sign up a season, I confirm for each race. I would always courteously notify if I don’t plan to race…..

So I confirm for August 27th 2021!
