Important Update Posted on February 18th:
As most of you are aware, PD implemented an update last night that has brought some of the rules for this event into question. The GTP Race Admin team has thoroughly discussed this matter, and formed the following resolution -
- The original rules on engine turning still apply. You are only allowed to perform an oil change in GT Auto. Performance enhancing engine upgrades are strictly forbidden.
- Adjusting individual transmission gears will not be allowed. If you've made a run with the individual transmission gears adjusted, reset them to the default settings, and adjust top speed only. This is verifiable by monitoring engine RPM's in individual gears. Those found cheating will face the punishment listed below.
- Upon completion of WRS week 1, the results will be posted as provisional. At this time, the results of week 1 will not count toward any promotions or long term tracking.
- Assume that you will need to post a replay for this event. A very large portion of participants, if not all participants, will be required to post a replay.
- In the event that PD issues a replay system that allows us to verify the HP, torque and equipment upgrades made to the cars, we will review ALL replays at that time and make the results Official
- Anyone found to be exploiting the update and breaking the rules of this event will be permanently banned from the GTP Registry. This is whether the cheating is found on initial replay review, or review of replays after implementation of an improved replay system.
A PM containing this same information will be sent to all current participants, within 24 hours.

Steward's Comments:
It's been a long time coming, but WRS for GT5 has finally arrived! I thought I would ease you into things, the track and car are not too difficult. But finding those last few tenths at the end of the week is going to be a nice challenge.
Viewing your T1 & T2 Lap Time Splits:
- You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay'.
- To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.
- While Viewing Your Replay, Choose the "Live Timing Monitor" To View Your Sector Times
- To post your T1 and T2 Splits, simply post the sector times that are shown in the live timing monitor.
- The WRS Fetchbot has been updated and will now add your splits together!

Time verification:

- Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification
Good luck,
