Steward's Comments:
Glad I got the opportunity to pick one. Always loved those Nissan Z's. Enjoy guys.

Viewing your T1 & T2 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!

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 53 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"

  • Please include in your submission PM your final lap time

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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

I'm just about ready to destroy my ps3 over the Maserati so it's time for me to jump to a new event!

Justin
 
Looks like I might just do my first two GT5 WRS's in a row...

Will get straight onto this once I've sobered up. :)
 
Wow! I just tried this and absolutely hate the grip :yuck: got a clean one after a few laps but I think I've had my fill of that car and those tyres already :dopey:

Cya's in the next drivable event :P

And the last one was drivable? Out of about 50 laps I had about 10 green laps..

Hoping for me to be a bit better here although not liking the fact I'll have to figure out a tune.
 
Yeah, this one is gonna really drive me nuts...I agree with the last one seeming as if it were on rails, comparing the two. Must. Focus.
 
Feels just like rain tires, 80% wet track!:sly: I always wanted a Z. This is a great combo!👍

25.072
43.944
 
Anyone else think the nose on this thing is hideous? :scared:

Gave up on the Maserati, this looks interesting though. I'll give it a shot later tonight.
 
Nice job, Speedy! 👍 Mine's only at 459hp though, not 466. First splits:

22.807
40.966
 
I was sceptical at first, 440+ HP on sport hards.:scared:

But it's not bad at all, need to tune out the front end push as much as possible though.

Great choice Speedy.👍

First splits, not at full HP yet.

T1, 23.154
T2, 40.893
 
23.884
42.528

Benchmark for lack of rapidity has been set.:sly:


Boy I'm slow.

Letting BoB run in the engine, looks like a fun combo 👍
I don't think the engine can be run in. I did an endurance race and my BHP stayed the same. 459 BHP should be the maximum for you.
 
Hey guys.

This car is in the OCD right? I can't see it in mine unless I'm going blind.

It is so I guess you're going blind then.:P
Unless the OCD has just changed of course..

New splits, at 457hp now.

Cars getting a bit more tricky to drive with the extra HP.

I'm not much good at drifting, but I might be better at it after this combo.:)

T1, 22.897
T2, 40.676

Ahhh ha! Found it. I swear it just appeared:lol:
 
Wow, Curva Grande with 460hp and S1s! :crazy: Took me 5 attempts to get round it without flying straight off. :P

Not sure how much time I'll have spare to run this combo (just got the rFactor 2 public beta :D) and it seems like it'll take quite a bit just to get a setup to calm this thing down. Understeer straight to power oversteer without so much as a 'hello'.

Anyway, had to give it a go so here's some splits to aim at for now.

22.709
40.089

Crazy choice Christophe - quite the challenge to just keep it calm. 👍
 
First session.

22.735
40.150

Looks like fun if I can find some time 👍 Laguna in a MR2 could have been a cool combo.... he he he
 
It's to be run in free practice so tuning your suspension, etc is allowed.

Oh, I know... I just hadn't done any tuning on it yet. Fully upgraded and took it straight to the track to see how it'd do. :)
 
Latest splits, some improvement.

Done for today, that's enough sliding around for now.

Gears aren't quite right yet, need more work on the suspension too. Making progress though.

T1, 22.852
T2, 40.234
