Steward's Comments:
This is our first visit to the full track at Grand Valley in nearly 3 years. The Lexus brings plenty of grip, and the nice wide track keeps you out of trouble, even with the additional HP gained through the engine upgrade. Keep it smooth, and have fun. 👍


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!

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 25 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):










  • Please submit your time in the following format on a single line:
    Time: X'XX.XXX
    (Example-) Time: 1'10.100

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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

Sorry for the delay in getting this one up guys. Hope it was worth the wait. ;)
 
Oooh I look forward to this. I hope I can control this car with the pad though. Love this track, used to hotlap it on GT3 A-Spec in the 787b many many many times.
 
Spent a heck of a lot of time here for an FF shootout recently. Hopefully what I learned will still apply to a JGTC car. I think I'll start with CSLs Bandai tune right off the bat. :D

EDIT: Quick 5 lap test before I set the Bobs to work on breaking it in...

Allright!!! One of my favorite tracks 👍
Now let's see if I'm good enough on it to keep up with you guys :scared:
 
Aaah, Grand Valley Speedway, used to be my n°1 track in the GT series until the nordschleife showed up :bowdown:
Maybe I'll have a quick go, maybe

I'm back after a couple weeks off. Nice combo.

After a dozen or so laps-

T1, 36.739
T2, 35.461

I like this track, some fast sweeping corners with just enough tight technical stuff.👍

I haven't drivin this car much, I like it, good balance and grip.
 
36.212
34.228

Rubbish T1, have had 35.7s and 35.8s and 35.9s. Ok otherwise.

No good all-round lap at all tonight after about an hour and a quarter of effort, some decent sector times (like T2 above) but always with a dreadful previous or next sector..... time to retire for the night and I'll pick it up another day and try again.

This track has the hardest third sector of any track, imho. I'm also struggling to control this car, hopefully someone will come up with a good setup!

Really frustrating first session :banghead: :confused:

Added full downforce, 10 more laps. Getting a little faster.

New splits-

T1, 36.351
T2, 35.099
 
Back from a nice holiday week with my family :D

Looking foward to try this combo after missed last one, the first in a long time, but not regretting a bit 👍
 
My god I love this track :D

Anyway this is what my first session gave me

In fear :scared: of making you guys better I used this setup

This one looks so cool to me. I use to love running the old Denso Sard in GT3 and GT4 around this track.

I really look forward to having a great reason to drive this car in GT5. I just bought it about 2 weeks ago and ran it at the Nurburgring GP course a little bit in the seasonal event Super GT races to win some racing suits.👍

Seems I wasn't ambitious enough in my goal setting as I have passed it in about 25 laps. :crazy: So now I go for another 5 seconds, which should be pretty easy if I can get that tail under control. Still running on CSL's tune with max downforce. I'm going to try a couple others or maybe just tweak the LSD for the DS3 and see where it gets me. Looks like this week will be more work than last. :D
 
I heartily endorse this product and/or service.

Actually, I'm really, really hoping to get time to run this one properly, but submitting or not, I'll be trying it out some for the edumacation (as always). Thanks, Kev and team!
