Steward's Comments:
Back to my personal favorite track, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, AND in a rotary powered Mazda derived machine. The car this is based on has been used in many past WRS events, the last was this one on GT5. That was also a full tuning allowed event, with the car at maximum HP. We have some power limits and added weight this week, and that's because we're following the car spec from our very own GT300 Triple Mix Championship. Tunes will be made and shared, get in there and have some fun. This car is a great drive around here. :gtpflag:



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

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 135 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, August 22nd 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, :gtpflag:

:eek: SWEET!!!! I would be behind the wheel already but it has finally stopped raining here and my bike is absolutely hollering at me to fire it up.
Awesome combo! :bowdown: I'm actually excited to give it a go.

Nice combo. It might not be the fastest gt300 car but it's my favorite. It handles well stock. I'm looking forward to seeing some good tunes from you guys.
@EDK thanks for sharing yours. I'll give it a try tonight.
 
Ok already had a run, probably going to do another 7 or 8. Before Thursday.

I love GT300!! I have no idea if the lap is any good, just ran with whatever tune was on there before.
 
Ran a quick lap to submit to fetchy to see if a ballast adjustment to the rear, pp543 was acceptable. It is.

22.178

1'01.445
Ah, yeah. I just call out the PP the car is at on my screen, but the replay check is not looking at ballast position since we are allowing it to be adjusted. It IS looking at total power and weight.
 
Can't wait to try this one tonight. Just got back home late last night. I think I already have a rushed tune on this car. If I do I'll post what I have when I get home from work :-)

I only did three laps with the ds3 and a base tune I have, but putting the weight over the rear wheels seemed to add to the corner exit speed. Hopefully I'll get enough seat time in this car to do a whole bunch of experimenting; it is a real nice drive and the corkscrew is always fun.

Still tinkering on the tune but I thought I would post some splits before I pull the car back into the shed for more messing around.

Had a run yesterday but had to leave straight away so never posted splits.

Should have more time in it, sure I can improve the car.
 
Too many 'schoolboy errors' today. Plenty of sector PBS but slower laps:boggled:
Made similar mistake as @8I23ub, running 58.9 at T3 only to bin it going too tight on final turn:banghead:

Starting to find my way with this one:tup:.After 600km's,👍 hopefully I'll get about a 1000 in on this one. 2000 would be great:).But that's only a dream.:(

Have had laps close to 2 tenths faster in T3 ,just not on faster laps than this one.
