Viewing your T1 & T2 Lap Time Splits:

To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Page' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay' option.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 03 Submission ) to (Sphinx):



  • you can submit only once
  • please include in your submission PM your division, GTP_Tag and final lap time
  • the deadline is Monday 24 November 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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.
Time verification:

Save your ghost replay and keep it at least a full two weeks after the event's deadline:



  • Racers ,named by the OLR Admin staff, (if any) will be required to submit a replay for verification
  • any submitted time is subject to a time verification request
  • when a time verification has been requested, the concerned racer must provide the correct replay within seven days of the request
  • failure to do so will result in the removal of the unverified submission from the results table
  • video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Good luck,
OLR Admin Team

I had some test laps on this one and here's the splits from my best lap so far .. 16.650 / 34.401 tricky but fun! I'll be back :cheers:
 
I just ran a few laps, the mini is great on N3's, feel's very real, and nice and tame compared to last weeks combo.
Sam is going to love this one. :)

Here are my early splits,

T1, 0'16.829
T2, 0'34.648

:cheers:

Ive only ever done about 5 laps around this track so this could be interesting trying to learn a track as well as trying to be competitive.
Good luck to all. 👍
 
A quick stab at it gave me:

T1 - 0'16.923
T2 - 0'35.432

Huge difference from last weeks combo. The understeer feels a little frustrating, but I'll get used to it.
 
i just tried 7 laps so far i have

T1: 17.636
T2: 37.042


after a few more laps i have

T1: 17.259
T2: 35.715

a lil bit quicker

Absolutely LOVING this one! Feels like I can compete with wheel users again :)

T1: 0'16.864
T2: 0'34.780

I've seen 16.6 at T1 so I'd like to shave some tenths of this 👍
 
London :scared:

I've only driven enough laps to pass the events required.
My least favourite track I do hope I get the time to give this a shot though. 👍
 
hi all, ran an hour or so and managed 16.607/34.084

cool combo, no frustration:)
 
Had a quick few laps.

After watching replay realisied I had left S2 tyres on. :dunce:
Fun Combo 👍

This'll make a change from hurtling round on the actual London roads in my real Mini. :D 👍

Getting stuck into this one right away, only anaged some high 35's at T2 so far so will post proper splits when I get some 'proper' times.

Why are we encouraged to share our splits from our best laps for the Leaderboard? is it to stop us looking like sandbaggers at the results?
When I post my splits and get ignored by the official updater for 2 races on the trot! .. it gets a tad annoying :rolleyes:
It's not really that big of a deal I just would like some kind of explanation as to my exclusion lord bigracer? have you got some grudge with me or are you just blind? I know I prompted Dan to the situation in race 2 and that's why I was updated to that one!

anyway for the record you can stuff your leaderboard where the sun dont shine as I don't like having to prompt people of my participation 👎 from now on I will race whenever I please and share nada 👍
 
Looks like I have to find something in sector 2.

T1 16.655
T2 34.702

I am having a really hard time with this part:
  • Your run must be done while being OFF LINE

It seems that no matter what the auto login is set at this account always logs in to the playstation network when ever I sign on to my GTP user account. Anyone know a way to stop this besides disabling the internet in the network settings? I would really rather not go through entering the wep encryption key over and over again.

edit: Ok, it seems that it saves the wep key even when you disable the internet, just seems a pain that I can't disable the auto login.

T1: 17.182
T2: 35.726

Seems like there is a lot left. I don't know if its mostly learning the correct lines, or learning to not cook the tires so much.

I also have auto login, but what I do is pause the game using the big PS3 button, then sign of in the far right of the XMB, then return to the game 👍

:boggled:

Well you do act up to your co-signature my dear Ron :) Why so crossed, not just ask for an explanation? Because there is no other than I overlooked your splits, perhaps because you don't post splits like most do?

My 'job' as updaterer is voluntary and some appreciation might be nice, even tho ****ups occasionaly happen.

PS sorry for double posting.

EDIT board updated. Please report any (other) omissions by post or PM. Thanks 👍

Here's how I'm getting my best laps:
- Slow down early for turn one, and get as close to the armco on the inside as possible.
- Use 3rd from T1 to T2, and brake early for the long right.
- Use 3rd for the final corner, brake and turn in at the end of the orange barrier on the left.

Yeah whatever Steven! and what am I supposed to appreciate? you aint gonna get it from me anyway :dopey: Lets agree to ignore each other from now until the end of days as these are surely my last words to you ... Goodbye :cheers:
 
My first laps:

T1: 16.859
T2: 34.762

I updated the board.

And @ Mr P: Grow up and stop behaving like a baby. You were overlooked once, maybe twice. When you see that your time is not on the board, send a PM to one of us (e.g. bigracer, EDK, Denur) and we'll put you on. Now, get back behind that wheel, or what ever you have for a controller and make us shiver again. 👍

And while you're at it, please put your division and controller in your signature, thanx. :)
