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 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.[/B]

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 172 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 8th 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:

Think I'm using the brakes more than a couple of times a lap, every corner requires them.. Apart from the left right just after the S1 split..

I guess I was referencing the heavy braking zones.

Blame @roamer2629 for being so worldly and suggesting we name the event after London's Trafalgar Square in which part of the track is based. ;)

EDIT: More geekery to be found here. :lol:
Blame Lucas, who banned his son's name from the title (Trevor) :D :lol:
Seriously, Trafalgar was a sea battle between the Spaniards and the English, which decimated the Spanish Armada and established Britain's sea domination for 200 years no less. The guy standing proudly at the top of that column is Nelson, commander of the british fleet. In a nutshell, we would sing "Rule Hispania, the ruler of the seas..." had the battle gone otherwise :P
I'll have some splits later today 👍

The last corner is a challenge with the massive understeer.
Brake sooner. ;)

Seriously, that corner is a completely blind turn in, and with cars like this, if you can brake early and get it up on that curb without hitting the wall, the exit is a thing of beauty.

We've run worse than this here for that sort of thing.

This one comes to mind, and we also used a Viper on the reverse track in Prologue. :scared:
 
Really need to run a few extra laps = I cant even get close to my first ghost.

Is anyone using 1st gear at any point in this lap? I can see an argument for it briefly in turn 1....Anyone else? And 4th is barely used

The car has a lot of torque and wheel spin is more likely in 1st. If you used it, I would blip down the rotate the car and finish off braking, and immediately back up before hitting throttle for exit. I've only run test laps with this, but that was my overall impression.
 
Oh really. I'm staying in third through the fast left right and then up to 4th just before the sweeper you mention, as it seems to top out at 97mph.
I'll try fourth through there now and will stick to second in t1 thanks Kevin
 
This a good point Kevin made 👍 @Bertracer I don't know where your shifting but I shift at 5800-6000rpm's because the car has enough torque to do that. Anything over and you lose speed in my opinion.
Are you using the brakes through t2&3 before the long sweeping right hander, or lifting off in fourth
