Steward's Comments:
Sjaak gets the credit for this little gem. It's the second time we've used this car, but it's a great combo and a really nice fit for the track. Have fun chasing those tenths this week.

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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

Will definitely be chasing those tenths this week, good combo to take revenge on my last week here at Cote d'Azur.

 

[Torino]

Great combo guys. This will be my WRS starting.

 

[millross]

Had a couple of laps

This week, sanity gets 100 lashes.

 

[Brinomial]

This could be fun, early splits for me.

Cote d'Azur in a Lotus with sports Med, Tuff A Nuff!!

 

[Phoenix1976]

Looks good!!!!

Pretty fast for me and my DS3.
BB 2/3 ABS 1
Active steering strong altho got no clue if it does anything at all, car still felt like it handled the same when hard on the thottle to me.

 

[Mr P]

Nice combo, so far my best save has...

29.972
49.181

It's slippy yet grippy if you know what i mean
Great tyre choice 👍

 

[Small_Fryz]

Oh Hello

30.024
49.076

Tricky little S.O.B

Edit:

30.154
48.606

I can see another .2 in T1 and I did loose a bit in the last sector due to being offline but its a solid start.

Edit 2:

30.048
48.594

Was a bit nervous in last sector and still lost a bit of time . Rest of the lap is pretty nice. Is actually quite fun now that I've gotten used to it .

 

[Ali]

Looks like a nice combo. I might participate if I have enough time this week

 

[Mamba]

Like monaco but sometimes struggle in city tracks I'll probably try this combo at the end of the week when I get some time. Nice to see more D1 people coming out to play. 👍 a lot of people to learn from this week, hopefully

 

[millross]

Is it day release for Division 1 drivers? 👍

 

[Vagabond]

Looks like the aliens are coming out to play in the Monaco sun. Hey Dion, nice to see you mate. Fantastic start there too. 👍

The dire weather means no going anywhere today - good for WRS. Not good for sanity with this combo though. Only done one clean lap in this morning's session.... but it was a good one thankfully.

29.887
48.686

A little cautious through sector 3 after these splits though and was about 6 feet away from the barrier on the exit from the swimming pool, so definitely more time there if I can keep my nerve.

Edit - I tried Active Steering. Strong just strangles the car and in the tight sections, the handling becomes wooden and there are erratic balance shifts between on and off throttle. Mild is better but still loses some sensitivity on turn in. Off is definitely quickest - throttle steering and careful braking and you can really get the thing dancing. As with the Stratos a few weeks ago, never fully let off the gas unless in a straight line - once the rear gets loose, its not coming back.

BB 1/0 ABS 10

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Looking forward to giving this one a go. The Monaco combos are always fun 👍

 

[roamer2629]

The tire choice the British lightweight seasonals should have had...

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Just got back from the ER. Had to finally break down and go get a pain shot. Will start my quest on this combo tomorrow. Peace.

 

[Cats_PJs]

This looks great, can't wait to drive a car that turns when you ask it to (and sometimes when you don't).

Schedule is tight this week though, but I'm sure I'll find some time.

 

[w-g-e]

Do enter this time Ali!!!!

And good to see you as well Dion.

T1: 29.639
T2: 48.405

Just got back from the ER. Had to finally break down and go get a pain shot. Will start my quest on this combo tomorrow. Peace.

Wow hope all is well and gt5 is not putting you in the hospital

Yikes Wes, looks like your well rested after your week off.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Wow hope all is well and gt5 is not putting you in the hospital

Thanks, and no, GT5 is not putting me in the hospital, lol. I end up going every now and then when the pain gets too bad. They give me a shot in the ass (thats hurts like hell too, lol) of a really good pain killer and all is well again...for awhile.

 

[Vagabond]

How do you like them apples?

Holy crap!

👍

 

[the_wilco]
