    • 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.

Race Specifics (Rules for This Specific Event):
  • Red and White Rumble Strips and Tarmac are Track Surface. No other surfaces are track.
  • White lines denote track boundary except where backed by rumble strips.
  • Green surfaces are not track.
Steward's Comments:

Credit to @Sjaak for this combination which is hopefully light relief and a pleasant distraction from the ongoing 15th events that have you pounding out laps around the "Green Hell". This car seems so well suited to this short track and is a pretty stable little thing but minimally it needs a solid tweek to the LSD to get it to behave better.


Saving Replays, Viewing sector times and Submissions:
  • You need to make sure you use the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below).
  • Before saving your replay ensure that you continue running after completing your fast lap until at least the end of first sector. This will ensure you have a complete replay.
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Library' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replays' option.
  • While viewing your Replay, enter the live timing screen to view your sector splits. You will need to do this after your car has passed the sector markers to see it listed.
  • Simply post the splits that are shown in the live timing screen, and our Fetchbot will parse them and add them together for your total sector time.
  • When saving your fastest lap replay please ensure that you watch the replay to the end and that it displays your full lap time. Any replays submitted that do not show the posted lap time will result in a DQ.
  • Remember - When you submit your time you're also declaring that your run is 100% clean. We request replays for the purpose of verifying to all those concerned that the drivers claim is correct, which in turn safeguards the integrity of the driver, and just as importantly, the WRS. The golden rule is to check your replay before submission. If you’re still unsure, check it again, ask for a second opinion and if you’re still undecided, run the lap again.

Thread rules:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on Skype or via other private IM service.):
  • Total Lap Time.
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total lap time.
  • If you choose to Share your Best-Lap Replay via GT Sport before the deadline,your full lap time will be considered to be shared publicly which contravenes our rules. Even if you've only shared with Friends.

  • Any settings discussion.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 14 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):
  • Please submit your FULL LAP TIME in the following format on a single line:
    X:XX.XXX
    (Example-) 1:10.100
  • You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error.
  • For those of you who were used to submitting replays on GT6, you no longer have the ability to export the files.
  • 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 just reply to the conversation with your new time. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • The deadline is Monday, March 5th 2018 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:
  • Division winners and overperformers will be required to submit a replay via the GT Sport Share function for verification AFTER Unofficial Results have been posted.
  • Participants will be expected to check each others' replays for cleanliness, for replays marked in the Results thread as (Replay Verify Required).
  • Video/Youtube/Twitch replays are not accepted as a form of verification.

Good fun.

Open with this, my fastest lap was a little close on the rear nearside in turn 3, looked good at one point but the rear of the car has a tendency to keep running wider and wider on the red and white curb. It was still good but very close, had to look 3 or 4 times on the walk-a-round view.

Had a nice opening session with some skype tuning with @Theaffliction this evening. Between us we made some good tweaks to start zoning in on what we want out of the car, struggled for quite a bit to find a balance that we were comfy with but overall a really strong start with the promise of more during the week.

Good fun to just play around with the car getting to know it and make it actually go where you want it to... mostly lol.
 
Stock everything, cool little combo !

Just a quick lap in to do set somewhat of a taxi run ;) 20.146 and 14.177 everything stock as it gets. Got to be able to do some improvement here!
 
Wanted to post my complete current tune in one post now that I am on PC. Did not want to deal with all of that from the phone last night.

Yay! Time to move away from Hell!

Love this track and car combo, really suits it! Great pick @Sjaak!

I also expect to see @Never2fast1 coming up close behind me again after the S-FR at Willow! 👍

Finally a track I can handle. :lol:

For the next month I have lots going on, will not be able to put as much time in as I would like, but I love the opportunity to get a chance to mix it up with the top 25 again, since this car and track fits my skill set. The short laps will help a lot.

Looking forward to the battles @munch2112 and @Nerazzurri
