  • At Least 2 Tires must be in contact with track at all times (See image below).
    • 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.

  • Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules.

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.
  • Permanent track markers can be murdered at will.

Steward's Comments:

Probably not the easiest car to drive on racing hards, the SLS shines with softer tires. GP felt like a good place to let it loose. Have fun

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.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 69 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 69 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 69 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 25th 2019 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 luck,
:gtplanet: & The WRS team.
 
Hi guys, can I have some clarification on these final 2 rumbles.. are the back white and red legal to drive on like the pic below? The natural faster line is straight across both whilst staying on what looks like track but might not be :D

Better I be safe than sorry again :dunce:👍
 
Slower splits but beat my lap by .2 at the line

35.907
26.052
23.720

saw a 1'25.3 T3 nearly .4 faster and it still never beat this ghost around the end section :irked: So there's loads left up for grabs with better splits ;)

I really like this car... it feels super balanced in stock form 👍
 
35.732
25.992
23.752

lost a little to a squiggle exiting the last chicane nervously :dopey: I'm still pleased with this for now 👍

Will try again when my time is dropping down the board.. GL all :cheers:
Won't be me, I have never understood this track and the car doesn't help me either. I find the cars turn in response to sharp, tried changing my wheel settings but nothing seems to help.
 
Here's a T1 vid in multiple views with no laptimes showing etc.. for whoever can make use of it 👍



I've had a couple of 35.5's but no faster as yet :irked: must go faster :lol:👍


Thanks for sharing the video Ron, I will make use of it tomorrow. Very nice sector 2 time 👍, are you using any BB?

I hate this car/track combo, it's like driving a boat :lol:
Any tips on how to drive this car? I find it really oversteery which makes me spin out all the time. I can't get a rhythm on this combo at all. Not a car I wish to drive again that's for sure :D
 
I tried the different times of day at the track, and though I hate mornings I like 8am. The shadows going into the first corner between the 150m and 100m signs are just the right distance to help me enter there more consistently 👍
