Back to the classic original circuits this week. This is only our second week in an MR. It's a little tail happy, so you're lucky I gave you the S3's. :sly:

Viewing your T1 & T2 Lap Time Splits:

  • 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!

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 13 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):




  • Please submit your time in the following format on a single line:
    Time: X'XX.XXX
    (Example-) Time: 1'10.100
  • Users can ask the bot for the current submitted time by sending a message with the body: "get entry"

  • Please include in your submission PM your final lap time

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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, :gtplanet:

Gald you got home OK Kev.

I just had a Top Gear special event flashback :lol:

Already looking forward to it 👍
 
This will be fun! :D
I love the 111R RM so I'm sure it's baby sister will do just fine too! :)
Not sure about Autumn Ring though... :yuck: But it will make for an interesting week!

Also, thanks a lot to all the Mods and anyone else who helps run the WRS, this will only be my second 'real' crack at one and I can already see how much effort must go into keeping this afloat! 👍
 
Uh oh...I might be too used to driving my tuned 111R. We'll see how it goes once I get back in the seat on a stock example.
 
I'll give you guys some to chase.

28.423
34.567

It's funny, the car is easier to control on S3's than on S1's, but much more difficult to find the limit with and keep there.

I find quite a bit more grip from lap 3 on. Lap 1 is a little tough to control.
 
One of my fav combos in GT5 so far 👍

This looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait to give it a shot tomorrow evening.
 
28.331 33.873 -- 1'02.204 I see a lot of late submissions, very tricky little devil.

Looks like I'm going to learn a lot this week! ;)
I have never liked the Autumn Ring track but very much enjoy the 111R so I think I will have mixed feelings about WRS13 all week. First times however after 25 laps;

T1: 28.015
T2: 34.252

T1 was a PB for me and T2 was a long way off my PB but I made up for it with an almost PB T3! :sly:

Xerxes. :)

T2: 33.873

Nice! 👍 That is an excellent T2!...
 
Using my wheel now, got a better set up. I'm learning all over again! Good combo for it though.

30.901
35.459

Not my best, but so far my best clean. Someone has to be last!
 
Stunning T1 from MadMax there, seen a .8, but quite hard to be consistent there.

Using BB of 7/9, engine braking is critical here, the car does horrible things if you shift too early.

28.011
33.815

Great combo once you've gotten used to the Lotus liking to kick the rear out everywhere. The speed in the last sector makes it great fun.
 
Great combo Kevin, this car fits like a glove in this track. 👍

My splits so far:

27.776
33.480

Dude, now you're spicy! :dopey: I need to re-read the thread again, surely I'm not 20 seconds off the pace :scared:

Edit: Ahhh , feels much better sports softs than comfort softs ;)

First crack.

T1 - 28.714
T2 - 35.086

After really enjoying last week I am already having more fun this week than last.
Keeping the tail in check is alot of fun :)
 
Some early splits from me.

27.940
34.447

Lots of room for improvement I think.:)
 
Frisky little minx!

Just to get some numbers on the board...

T1: 28.917
T2: 34.198

Not really troubling the braking zone for the first hairpin yet as I'm still messing with brake bias. Currently at 6/5 with ABS on 9.
 
Fun track and the tire call was great. The Lotus handles excelent and goes where ever I point it 👍.

T1: 28.917
T2: 34.500
 
My first splits:

27.710
33.552

Awesome combo Kev, thanks!👍

I'm guessing there's 3 more tenths to be gained....will see as the week goes...
 
Awesome combo Kev, thanks!👍
Ditto. :) 👍

Just had a quick 15 mins. Fantastic fun trying to manage the overtsteer. :)

T1: 28.047
T2: 34.108

Its going to be great chasing those tenths this week. :sly:
 
Good grief Ramon. I can sort of see that T2, but where did that T1 come from?
