Steward's Comments:
This is my 104th WRS event as steward. 2 years worth of WRS, and many more events to come. :) This is also our fist snow event since the GT4 days. Enjoy.


Viewing your T1, T2 & T3 Lap Time Splits:




  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay'.

  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.
  • While Viewing Your Replay, Choose the "Live Timing Monitor" To View Your Sector Times
  • To post your T1 and T2 Splits, simply post the sector times that are shown in the live timing monitor.
  • The WRS Fetchbot has been updated and will now add your splits together!

  • Any settings discussion.




Number of splits: 3

The posting of settings is encouraged, but it's certainly not mandatory. We respect anyone wishing not to post settings, so please do not publicly ask someone to post their settings, they will if they want to.
It is however expected for splits to be posted if you're taking part.


Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 47 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):






  • Please submit your time in the following format on a single line:
    Time: X'XX.XXX
    (Example-) Time: 1'10.100
    [*]Users can ask the bot for the current submitted time by sending a message with the body: "get entry"
    [*]Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the body of "remove entry".
    [*]If multiple times are submitted, only the last submission will be counted.
    [*]Please include in your submission PM your final lap time
    [*]The deadline is Monday, January 9th 11:59pm GMT
    [*]If you are unsure of the deadline try this site. Beware of the US Daylight Savings Time Change, don't cut it too close.








Why Use GMT?:

GMT is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the centre of the time zone map. GMT sets current time or official time around the globe. Most time changes are measured by GMT. Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.


Time verification:


Save your ghost replay and keep it at least a full two weeks after the event's deadline:







  • Racers, named by the OLR Admin staff, (if any) will be required to submit a replay for verification
  • Any submitted time is subject to a time verification request
  • When a time verification has been requested, the concerned racer must provide the correct replay within seven days of the request
  • Failure to do so will result in the removal of the unverified submission from the results table
  • Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Having issues with the internet and/or Photobucket again today, so posted without pics for now.

A Purple Car with Purple Wheels is on the way soon. ;)
 
I'm guessing that the "out of bounds" areas are going to be the raised up snow berms between the big esses...
 
EDK
Yes. 👍

I wondered why these were allowed in the rally events in the special events section... makes it easy to shave a couple of seconds off of each lap.

Now I think there is at least one more area where there is a raised berm, but it's on a pretty straight section... that is out of bounds too, yeah? I think that just saying "anywhere you can drive that is not fairly level with the surrounding track is considered 'off'".

But who am I to suggest the rules?
 
Ah, got the generic rally wheels in the pics rather than the cool Purple ones I had on the car. Oh well.
 
Nice! 👍

On another note, I just saw another Belgian racer here. Racer_LP, and he's from Bruges too. :)
Edit: Just saw he's not in the GT5 registry yet...

Racer_LP (Stijn) nice guy raced with him many times in GT5p, if I remember right he was D1S or D1G then.

Phillip.

Yes, he also won the Belgian GT Academy where I met him. But the day the Academy finals started in the UK, he became ill that day and couldn't attend because of that :ill:
 
First splits,

I think this is the first snow event I've done in the WRS.:)

T1, 50.816
T2, 45.897
T3, 1'29.094
 
Fun combo.

T1: 49.372
T2: 43.905
T3: 1'25.866
 
When I first looked at this week's combo I must admit I thought you'd lost the plot Kevin :sly: But its quite fun. 👍

Not sure how much difference setup will make this week... never done a snow event other than the ones on Special Events and didn't bother with setup for them.

Anyway, first few enjoyable laps:

50.042
46.065
1'28.157

Very slow last sector but that doesn't matter so much at this stage I suppose. Should be a fun week. :)

Edit - ridiculously fast start Wes. Kind of changes my mind abiout how much fun this will turn out to be at the end of the week.

Thanks mate.:)

T1: 49.443
T2: 43.847

T1: 48.860
T2: 43.497

Not done any setup work yet... always do my first run on stock setup but still, that's a blistering pace off the bat 👍

I've just tweaked the suspension and LSD a bit for my second run but not gone to the extereme FF tune yet... still found a couple of seconds on the lap though.

49.651
45.181
1'28.180

Obviously a way to go yet. Time for FF extreme setup...

Backed it off from the extreme FF setup - too squirrely :P Huge improvement in turn in though

49.522
44.847
1'27.327

Decent progress for now I think. Spend the rest of the week chasing Wes. :P
 
Took a quick look. Decided to take the week off. Learning a new track, breaking in the car, and finding a good setup seems like too much this week. Especially on such a long track.

Also, not sure I like not having a defined line on the track to mark out of bounds.

Anyway, see you all next week.
 
Fun start, though all I changed was the overall top speed.

T1: 51.038
T2: 46.037
T3: 1'30.034


Time to do some tweaking...

Softened and lowered...

T1: 50.731
T2: 45.977
T3: 1'28.977

What a "cool" call Kevin on this combo :lol: I think this will be one that plays to my strengths 👍
 
Starting to learn the track now. First time running the full course and you can carry alot more speed than I though through most of it.

49.086
44.511
1'26.528


48.732
44.257
1'25.937

Seem to be struggling to improve in sector 2.... but otherwise pretty happy with the learning curve. :)

Boy, this combo gives me the chills :D

Will give it a shot but not holding out much hope for it, I was rubbish in the last Rally combo. Nice track nonetheless.
 
Latest splits,

T1, 50.080
T2, 44.848
T3, 1'27.259

I'm shivering at the thought of trying this Kev. There snow way I'm going to do well at it and I think I might get a frosty reception from the missus if I try and run 8 hours like I did in the BMW, so I'm going to chill out and put any efforts on ice for now. May give it a go later in the week.

(That enough for you Chuk? :lol:)

:cheers:
 
Lol...

I'm finding myself needing some help with the LSD settings....
Mine are 5/40/5.

T1: 48.399
T2: 43.227
T3: 1'24.200

Outbraked myself in T3 so there's still some time left to find.

T1: 48.583
T2: 43.137
T3: 1'23.970
