Steward's Comments:
Fitting that this would be week 157. I made D2 in GT4 WRS in week 157, at the SAME track. :D This combo is a bit different than that one, but loads of fun for sure. Brake on time and understeer becomes oversteer. Nothing quite like running this track in the proper direction. 👍



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 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 and T2 times
  • Any settings discussion
Splits Sharing
  • WRS Participants have traditionally shared splits as a way to reveal their pace without providing the full lap time until the event deadline. Posting of splits is not mandatory, but is considered fair sportsmanship.
  • WRS Admins reserve the right to request posting of splits from members who show a pattern of avoidance or deception in this area.
  • If you fail to comply with a direct request from an admin to post splits for a current or future event, we reserve the right to disqualify your lap from the results.

Submission:
All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 157 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, January 23rd 11:59pm GMT
  • If you are unsure of the deadline try this site
full


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:

Nice one. I was a bit frustrated I didn't have the funds for the previous combo, but this also seems like a good old school combo. First laps tonight after work 👍
 
Good to be back running Laps in the WRS! Been way too long! This is a great combo! Definitely a lot of time left especially in sector 2. Will have to turn some more laps tomorrow :cheers:

1'00.570

BB 4/7 and shifting at 8K. Will have to try some different BB for my liking. I think 8k shift point is the fastest but shifting a tad earlier in a few places help. 👍

Yeah, I tested shift point on the user created 400 meter course, and to the limiter is fastest. Agree there are some short shift spots. Pretty sure my BB is 2/3.
 
I guess I was using 2/4, but set these with 2/3.

27.300
60.750

I think you can keep the car in 4th on the main straight and not lose time, but I am finding the downshift helps rotate the car.
 
Slightly better at both sectors and improved quite a bit in the final sector! 👍 still quite a bit of time left out there! Changed my BB to 2/3 and it's pretty good! :cheers:

27.007
1'00.307

Will give it a go tomorrow 👍
 
Been busy all week so wont be bothering with week 156, run a quick hour on this to have a look and it's great :cheers:

26.912
1'00.191

Still some to grab in the middle section but this is my best clean T1 so far 👍

Default BB 5/5
:cheers: Ron.
 
nice splits guys 👍 looks like there's a 59.8 at T2.. probably wont be me hitting it though :P
 
Haha i spoke too soon :D Great splits! I can't race again until tomorrow now as my grandaughter is with us tonight and the wheels too noisy.. she already kicked me in the balls just trying to carry her to bed so what will she do if i wake her up due to racing haha :lol:

I'll be back ;)👍
 
Question,

I'm guessing when enter the tunnel coming out of corner 2 after the kink and the tarmac ect is dirty and 2 tires has to be the track or right of white line? Or is that stuff track?
 
Question,

Is it possible to have the car completely off the tarmac there, without hitting the wall?

I did not intend for that to be out of bounds. Just the extra stuff behind the rumble strips, including those tunnel pictures I posted above (which became less relevant with the changes to the red clock rules on the exit of that corner).

Maybe snap a pic and post it, if I am not making sense. :)
 
Yep gotta stay behind the white lines in the first tunnel to the best of my knowledge? no rumbles in there so just count the lines as the track edge.. That is what i have been doing anyway 👍


EDIT: maybe I am wrong :P

I will look at it tonight.

Don't take anything I've posted as a definitive ruling, I'm interested to see for myself what it looks like (relative to the car width).

While driving, I have only been worried about not smacking the wall there.
 
Np Kev 👍 you can defo get the full car behind the white lines without touching the wall and without redding the lap as i have done it.. GLA :cheers:
 
@EDK here's an example from a lap I had done.

Thanks. I will have a look tonight in game (I want to understand how common it is to be back there, how easy it is to avoid) and then will post clarification.

Went and took a look at things. I can tell you that I am not running out there, I looked at my 5 fastest saves, they were all clean.

The line is not really the boundary there, it's the edge of the tarmac. Those being cobbles, or whatever, they are not a track surface. Per the OP -

  • Tarmac and Red and White Rumble Strips are Track. Nothing else is track. Pay careful attention to the guidelines shown below.
Thanks for asking the question, and I will keep an eye out for further questions from the participants.
 
New splits, starting to find some consistency with the first sector. Need to figure out what in the world is happening to 3 tenths in sector 2.

Same problem here for T2.. seems the tight line to a faster T1 loses speed to T2, going back to see if I can find any speed with the wider line through tunnel 1 👍
 
Hi,

27.484
61.317

achived those splits after five tries, can't improve on the next >100 :rolleyes:, have to work this out in the next days.

Fetchy is rejecting my data:

"Errors:
Transmission2 setting is invalid"

cheers,
D.
