Steward's Comments:

This is the GT4 Cover car, and it's a blast around this track. Turn in is great, so is stability. Tuning this week, to eek the most out of it. Have fun! 👍

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 3 splits: T1, T2 & T3 times
  • Any settings discussion

Submission:
All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 115 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:

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:

My base tune I used in testing -

RH 60/60
Springs 14.42/17.76
Dampers 1's all around
ARB 6/6
Camber 0/0
Toe 0/0
BB 3/2

Trans is basically a 5 speed, helps with getting power down and was literally faster than a 6 speed.

Final Far Right, Top Speed far left, set -

2600
2009
1578
1319
1084
910
Final = 3000

LSD 8/20/8

Aero Stock at 400/650 (Again, tried some other things, and it messed up the car balance. This was faster and more stable, for me).
 
This will be great practice for the Indy 500!

:sly::lol:

Edit: Also, this is one of those cars that confuses me an insane amount. PD made a premium version of this car only matte black. Why not just paint it white and have 1 more premium model?:confused:
 
I would try and find time for this one, but my T300 just died on me after two months. :lol:
 
@EDK, the info lists the track as Daytona as does the leaderboard, but the images are of Indy. What one is it?:confused:
 
The OP says 664 PP, but I'm only getting 634 PP in the game with the correct horsepower (637hp). Could this be a typo or am I doing something wrong?

@Whitetail I just checked and come up with the same numbers (634pp & 637hp) so I agree that its probably a typo.

@EDK can you confirm?

Sorry about that. 664 was a typo, corrected. And I mistakenly left Daytona in a key place that the Leaderboard uses to pick up event details. Changed that here and on the board.

The black car is not really exactly the same. And the reason it's premium is that it was a Prologue car. It was the closest thing to a race car we had on that game until the Ferrari F1 cars were introduced.

From my perspective, the cars do not drive the same. And, interestingly, PD is the "Manufacturer" of the black car. :confused:

I actually just set that car up with as close to the same settings as I could get. It seems to understeer more, it has 17 less HP, 35 more kg of weight, so the PP is 622 vs. the 634 we have with this car. It sounds a bit different, and redline is at 6,500 RPM, vs. 7,000 in the car I used.

I agree on the surface the cars are similar and the decision NOT to premium the white GT4 car IS puzzling. But the car I used is definitely a more enjoyable drive, from my perspective. :)
 
First ones for me, and an updated tune below. Used some idea I saw in @Cats_PJs tune, but this is generally an evolution of my initial tune. I improved by about 1.0 vs. my test lap, which was surprisingly quick. :crazy:

Aero changed slightly to at 415/650 (I tried a bunch of different stuff with aero after I was happy with the mechanical grip balance. A small amount more front aero let me set my fastest lap, but further adjustments messed up the balance for me and were not faster).
 
The more grip there is, the heavier my foot seems to become. On straights. Need to learn to not do that.
