Steward's Comments:

Don't the RUFs look lovely now? Our consolation for the ongoing contract EA have with Porsche that keeps them out of our beloved GT, the RUFs have always been exciting to drive, if somewhat pendulous for the most part. The RGT is the least twitchy of the RRs and in stock trim with stock tyres, you can really get the hammer down round the DTM version of Germany's most challenging race track.

Go!

:cheers:
Chris

Viewing your T1 & T2 Time Splits:
  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below)
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Gallery' option.
  • Live timing monitor does not work properly, so we have to use a small trick to view splits.
  • While viewing your Replay, pause the lap by hitting start, before the end of the first sector.
  • While keeping the replay paused, advance the replay, using the forward arrow on the replay HUD. This will advance the replay to the end of the first sector. That's your T1 split, write it down.
  • Advance the replay again. That will show the lap to date time on the screen, this is your first and second sector time, added together.
  • To post your T1 & T2 Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual T2 split time, the Fetchbot will do that for you.

Standard Clean OLR Rules:
  • At Least 2 Tires must be 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 in-line 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

Thread rules:

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

  • Total Lap Time
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total laptime

The following information can be discussed in this thread :

  • The first 2 splits: T1 & T2 times
  • Any settings discussion.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 8 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):

  • Then attach your 'Best Lap'/'Ghost' replay in zip file form. Everyone submits a replay instead of listing a lap time.
  • You will need to put something in the message body in order to begin a conversation. It doesn't matter what you put, it can even be 1 letter or symbol. Nobody but the Fetchbot is going to see it, so it's sort of pointless, anyhow.
  • You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error.
  • If you have an error, don't panic. Just review the instructions for submission and submit again. If you are having trouble and cannot figure it out, please post your question in the race thread.

  • 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 you want to submit multiple times in the week that is still not a problem. Just reply to the conversation with your new time and new replay. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • See this screenshot as an example on how to submit:

  • The deadline is Monday, March 17th 11:59pm GMT
  • If you are unsure of the deadline try this site


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.

Replay Checking:
  • Everyone is required to submit a replay for verification. This happens when you submit to the Fetchbot, and the replays will be visible in the leaderboard, once we've reached the event deadline
  • Participants will be expected to check each others' replays for cleanliness, for replays marked in the Results thread as (Check Needed)
  • Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Good luck, :gtplanet:

First splits - felt quite slow but only because I have to be so vigilant that the car won't step out and that I'm clean as well:

40.950
67.800

I've had faster second sectors by up to 4 tenths but lost it in the chicane.

Already in love with this combo, a much better track than last weeks - no walls! :D
 
First proper go for me.

40.243
1'06.376

Still 5/5 BB and ABS 1 at this point. Delicate balance of steering inputs and throttle on the exits. Don't turn in too hard and keep the rear settled with some trailing throttle - good traction so make good use of it once the rear feels planted.
 
Nice to see you on the board so early Chris, I hope you can hang around for the week. It's been too long.
Thanks Baron. :cheers: My problem at the moment is not one of time, to be fair... I'm lacking motivation because I've really struggled to find pace in most of the events so far. Hopefully I'll switch back on at some point but its been a rocky road for me as a competitor in GT6. Obviously I've been spending time testing future combos and whatnot but I've still put an hour or two into each weekly event.

:::sprinkles motivational leprechaun dust on Chris, and then rushes off to the garage to prep car for TT:::
 
Incidentally, I rolled my CSW's firmware back to an older version yesterday, as I recently read that the newest one doesn't work very well with GT6. I've lost my rev indicator lights but the wheel does indeed feel better and less unstable/twitchy at the limit. I can't blame that for all my woes since I still qualified pretty well with it as it was but it has made a difference.

Anyone using a Fanatec CSW - you may benefit from rolling back to the older firmware V032

I'm not a fan of MR cars and having problems controlling the lift off. Amagining RR cars but this one is quit good fun. It handles easier then i thought. Don't know if i'm still be able to control the car once i reach his limits.

Nice first spilts there Chris @Vagabond and Ian @Animera. Shame for us you figured out about your wheel :lol: but good luck with the downgrade.
 
Fantastic combo 👍

40 mins before the rugby started...

40.117
1'06.467

Such an awesome car to drive... always wants to rotate in to the corner... my sort of car :D

Still a few tenths to come... Had a couple of mid 39's T1.

Good warm up to get me back in to time trialing before the team event starts.
