This car and track combo is insane. Have fun. 👍

• 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!

Standard Clean OLR Rules:

• At least two tires in contact with track at all times.
  
  • In situations where contact with the track is not possible because tires are airborne (above the ground), then the run is only legal if at least two tires would have made contact with the track if the car were not airborne.
  • If track contact cannot be 100% determined, then consider it dirty.
  
  
  
  
  
• Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
• No contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
• If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty
• No hybrids
• No cheating of any kind,these are relaxed races and we are experienced racers, we know what times can be done,and we can read your mind.We will know.
• Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules
• Save your best lap/ghost replay

Thread rules:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed via other private conversation methods):

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 83 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):

• Please submit your time in the following format on a single line:
  Time: X'XX.XXX

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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

Good luck,
OLR Team

Holy crap. Looks interesting... 👍

 

[LeftyWright69]

Little just saw the new combo and can't wait to giver a try. Looks like a blast 👍

 

[Windy_1238]

Tokyo is one of my favorites and the car is a beast!

 

[Racingworld68]

One off my favorite tracks, and one off my favorite cars. This is gonna be an awsome combo.

 

[Vagabond]

Haha, on these tyres this car is crazy Kevin - great choice mate 👍 Tokyo seems more fun in reverse direction for some reason, too.

So lets kick it off with some early splits.

39.850
40.822

This should be a great week - arcade too so hopefully we'll get a few more people in.

 

[GTPorsche]

Sports Soft seems to be an interesting choice for this combo. I imagine it's going to take a bit of focus to keep the car in check.

Because you won that week on Tokyo reverse.

Hopefully this combo will get me in the mood again.👍

Haha, no its the other way round Wes - I did better because I enjoyed the layout more. And yeah, I hope you get stuck in again too - WRS misses you mate. 👍

Steward screwed up the OP.

Tires are Racing Soft.

Sorry for any time you wasted, Chris. You ARE crazy.

And sorry to anyone else who may have been frustrated, turned off by the combo.

This is the 3rd time we've used this car, but unfortunately it's the only Super GT car available as an Arcade Only Car. I agree that it's a great car. 👍

 

[Vagabond]

Goddamit... its amazing fun on S3's Kevin, we should just leave it like that.

 

[iSidious]

I agree Vagabond! I quite enjoyed the few practice laps I had using sport softs.

First posting using racing softs.

[Vagabond]

Call me Chris, mate.

OK, R3s... wow, don't need the brakes any more... or to lift off the throttle.

37.774
38.592

More there but have to find the limit of these tyres yet.

 

[Cats_PJs]

38.091

Still finding my way around the course.

The car takes a little getting used to, some corners it pushes and some corners it turns.

Ahh Armco, how I've missed you so.

 

[millross]

I prefer racing cars on racing tyres so I do welcome the change

Would give this a go but I'm running at le mans tonight for quite some time

 

[Cats_PJs]

37.930
38.458

Still a fair amount left in t1, lost a lot in the first corner.

Thats it for now though, because apparently the lawn won't mow itself.

 

[iSidious]

Tiny improvement.

38.042
39.165

 

[Racingworld68]

Gave it a little spin arround track

Nice start though Baron. 👍

Would give this a go but I'm running at le mans tonight for quite some time

Me too but can't seem to put this one down... Good luck tonight anyway Matt. 👍

(Possibly) my last go for now:

37.543
38.198

Best 1st sector so far 37.437 and lost a tenth in the last corner too, so looking for (at least) 2 tenths. Great combo, even without the Sport tyres.

 

[w-g-e]

Ah, that's a shame, I was looking forward to it. Another week.

I do agree racing tyres are better for the general audience.

 

[RIP_Welsh_Don]

After being absent from the WRS for a long time, I decided to give it another shot . I actually ran some laps in the last 2 combos, but wasn't really a fan of them so never pursued them. Also, not sure I'm overly keen on the tyres for this one as I think RH tyres would be more than enough grip and I agree racing cars should be equipped with racing tyres (generally )

Anyway, first splits for me.

37.594
38.132

Probably the same as Chris here, where I'd say I'm looking for 2-3/10th's now. Hopefully I'll stick with this one instead of giving up again! Lol

 

[Lou8ball]

Just had a quick go at this one to get used to the car and track - not done the track this way round before.

No splits to post yet, as i ran on racing hards to just get used to the lines - and to make me appreciate the grip when i come back to it tomorrow lol! Great fun though.
Definitely see myself frustrated looking for tenths by mid-week.

 

[Windy_1238]

First run at it:

Getting to know the track in reverse.

A bit faster T1 and OT.
