Steward's Comments:

Hard not to feel hyped about GT 7 isn't it? A return to a more traditional Gt experience seems a lot closer now. There's only 24 weeks to go, and we plan to spend those squeezing the last drops of content out of GTS. 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 youre still unsure, check it again, ask for a second opinion and if youre still undecided, run the lap again.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 199 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 199 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 199 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, September 20th 2021 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.

BB+3 (or +2, I tweaked it a couple of times on track Edit: just checked, apparently it saved +2, so I’m gonna say it’s that)

It’s been a while, seems like this was a good one to come back to, it didn’t take long to get comfortable with the car, and less than an hour to get these splits. It also still feels like I’m leaving some time in the first turn and probably a lot of time in sector 3.

Just checked the replay, I think I’m right, my throttle is a little too stabby. Okay, I may as well be Jack the Ripper for how jerky the bar looks, and? :lol:

Can I ask.....what does BB+2 mean?
The brake balance setting, it’s a value from -5 to +5 including 0. It’s usually a good thing to tweak it occasionally if you aren’t feeling comfortable in the car, it can make a big difference, even when not braking.

This changes a bit if you aren’t running ABS, which I’d recommend you do if you aren’t trying to make things more challenging for yourself (unless you’re very good, in which case ABS off can help you brake more efficiently). Edit: just realised this may be vague, so the specific setting I run is weak. Avoid off.

Sorry for being so wordy, if you need it translated into plain English somebody (maybe me) will definitely help. And welcome. 👍

Not exactly sure what you mean...numbers you saw at the leaderboard or the thread?
 
It was after the TT was over.....where it shows the split times and lap times.
I’m pretty sure it shows your 3 best sectors together in among that information, was it that?

Edit: wait… I was thinking you meant when you quit the track, did you mean on the leaderboard on the site? Because nope, not a clue, sorry.

Edit 2: never mind, first edit dumb, 199 is this TT. :lol:
