Steward's Comments:

Interesting story about this car, here. The 3-speed fits the track great, and it's nice and skinny for slithering through the kink. The stock SH tires were so sticky it was a little too predictable, so we went with Comfort Softs.

Viewing your 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 Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual split times, 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 70 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 Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • 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, May 25th 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

Nice combo Grav 👍 tho the car drives like a boat - which it looks too. But very nice in my chrome paint.
It feels like you need to make an appointment for the gear shift and the steering input.
This way I even like city combos :lol:
 
What rpm you switching and you going to 1st in t1? Gotsta know
Shifting a tick or two over red line, only use third in t2 before the kink. Using first in the sharp right in t2, and the final corner. bb 2/5.
 
Okay, I lied about 3rd gear, I never use it. For t1 I brake at the 100 marker down to 64 at the apex, then full throttle. Stayed close to the inside, tried several different lines, but inside is best.

Liar liar!! I was hoping you would say you were running SH instead of CS. I can't get anywhere near that t1 time.

Looks like its me vs you this week. Almost Tuesday and no one else has splits posted. May the best real life driver win. Driver. :D
 
I can't seem to load Time Trials. Like, I can open them fine and all of the options load and I can click them. But the loading never progresses onto the view sweeping around the circuit and the sound of the car is then visible. It's just looking at the same screen and when I click start I just get the god awful loading symbol, then I have to restart my PS3 because the game has (technically) frozen. Any help?? :boggled:

Try going into your internet settings and disabling internet then running the TT. Or clear your cache in the gt settings. Not sure if either will work, but worth a try. Do the cache clear first before you try disabling the internet.

Cheers! :cheers:
 
Wow this is quite a difficult combo. 👍

Initial splits - will definitely improve on these.

58.310
 
I often do not log into PSN for time trials. It's a lot faster to access then.

edit: I know these don't go to the board but,
T1: 32.367
T2: 61.967

30.741
58.391
 
I don't really like the car but I do like the track.

30.760
58.367

I'm gonna give this another go later on tonight after a few beers.
 
Wwwweeeeeelllllll, crap. Invalid driveshaft setting. Everything else is stock, not sure why I had a different clutch and driveshaft in the car I only drove it once. Sorry guys. At least you can relax @ItsAllAboutWins .:odd:
 
Let's try this again.

30.245
57.328

.352 slower at the line. (but legal, so I guess that's something.) I'd like to get to the 2's at t2, but we'll see.

That's better. I tried for a hour and couldn't get close to what you had earlier. My wife asked me what was wrong, I replied with: cat with pajamas are to damn fast. I can't keep up.

That got some weird looks.
