Steward's Comments:
I can't think of a better use for my 4000th post! We finally get to run the great Spa Francorchamps this week. Credit for this week's theme goes to GTP_Gravitron. If you don't get it, the car was the one Kaz drove at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring. And the pun is based on this song by The Clash.

Even with all this power and Racing Hards, this car is a forgiving drive around here with the all wheel drive and some great brakes. A little bit different than most tuning weeks. Be sure and pay attention to the instructions - No Race Exhaust or Race Transmission. 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!

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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

Nice combo 👍

But is there a specific reason why the transmission is not allowed?

Nice combo 👍

But is there a specific reason why the transmission is not allowed?

I know you asked this in the background forum, but legitimate question someone would have asked anyhow.

Just steward preference, and trying to take a tuning variable out of the equation. The stock transmission is basically a fully customizable with stock settings and without the annoying whine.

2smokes · Oct 30, 2011

KazSpa! Nice! I just turned my ps off, pissed at the 500, now I'm turning it back on as I type this! Good Luck everybody.

steven · Oct 30, 2011

Excellent choice for this week, Kevin 👍 That Schulze car is quite something, and Spa is now already a great classic in GT together with the Nordschleife and Le Mans.

An excellent way to get to know the new track in the game

Gravitron · Oct 30, 2011

Nice, Kev. 👍 Here's hoping for a great turn-out this week. :cheers:

Did a few laps so far, and loved it!

millross · Oct 30, 2011

10 Laps

35.950
1'04.726

Sweet car and the track is looking great. Took me a few laps to realise I'm not in an F1 car and can't do 1 min 40 laps but after that it was good. :-D

Eau rouge you don't need to brake but blanchimont I had to change up and bounce the limiter to get through

35.399
1'03.885

Almost binned it by trying to nail blanchimont.

the_wilco · Oct 30, 2011

First hour gives me

36.176
1'05.613

Tricky but fun

MilleRSVR · Oct 30, 2011

Great combo Kev.👍

First dozen laps, still braking a tad for Eau Rouge.

T1, 36.017
T2, 1'04.357

yanaran · Oct 30, 2011

Did a few laps after breakfast, thought I'd post some early splits for a change.

Love the track but I think I preferred the stock car, Eau Rouge was so much simpler with 490 HP :sly:

Lot's of time to gain in T2 for sure, hesitated in almost every corner.

34.930
1'03.712

millross · Oct 30, 2011

Nice time Jonas.

Im quite happy to only be six tenths off. Must be getting better :-D

MilleRSVR · Oct 30, 2011

More laps and setup tweaking, better T1. Still slow in T2.

T1, 35.500
T2, 1'04.392

yanaran · Oct 30, 2011

Thanks Matt. I think this week will be one of those where you can just keep finding tenth after tenth the more you drive. I've already surprised myself several times in just over 100km how fast you can exit some corners.

34.518
1'03.246

millross · Oct 30, 2011

You must be flat through Eau Rouge, given that the first turn is so straight forward - I was running with 5 clicks off max downforce thinking that Spa is a "power track", but perhaps it pays to have it on max

Any setup tips? Used 2.0/1.3 and 0/0 toe and everything else stock, but I changed to 10/15/10 on both LSD settings

Using 880 degrees rotation and 10 LIN, this car seems to wobble a bit and that seemed to help, never use it normally.

Pouhon is key to T2 I think

yanaran · Oct 30, 2011

Yea that was flat out with max DF. I'm not one to ask for setup tips though, all I've done so far is the same as you - opened the LSD and removed the rear toe. I'm just going to keep the rest stock for now and let someone else figure out the tuning.

Manuelos · Oct 30, 2011

Spa? I'm in !
Been too long not participating in the WRS

MilleRSVR · Oct 30, 2011

Better through both first splits. Still not going flat through Eau Rouge yet.

T1, 35.059
T2, 1'03.850

I have a question about the left hand bend exiting Eau Rouge. The answer might be obvious, but I'm not clear on the issue. When you have any tire inside the rubble strips at this corner you receive a red lap time for that lap.
The WRS rules generally allow for two wheels inside this rubble strip. In this instance, do the game rules over ride the WRS guidelines?

The splits I've posted have been clean laps (no wheels inside the rubble strip at that point).

millross · Oct 30, 2011

In your case, the game will force an overrule to WRS rules, as you will not be able to 'Save best lap' a red-clocked lap, therefore you can't save a replay of that lap so it's obviously not submittable.

I was surprised at how ruthless they've been through Raidillon for that, but it is a GOOD thing and something they should do more of.

The absolute key is to be as far left as you can get at the point of Eau rouge - the subsequent right/left is actually Raidillon technically, but you can't avoid red clocking if you get the positioning wrong.

Nice splits. I need to run this again later

Thanks for the info and compliments.

I had never tried saving a red lap before. Makes sense.

A bit off topic, how do you like your CSR wheel, I have a GT2.

Carlos Fandango · Oct 30, 2011

Well, looks like I'm not going to get a chance to run this. Qantas have grounded all their flights globally, so as of Tuesday evening I'll be stuck in LA Airport with two small kids...fun!

A bit off topic, how do you like your CSR wheel, I have a GT2.

I love it - the wireless operation on the 360 is noisy though, which apparently is a weird whine that the FF motors make, it's also got a few bugs with Forza4 which are annoying but once a few patches or updates come out it'll rock.

With GT5, the only annoyance is no wireless, no direct support (I can't really alter button mappings - or at least, I don't know how to) and the fact Fanatec supply a stupidly short cable so you have to sit quite close - as well as provide a trip wire for your entire family to navigate.

Other than that, it's fantastic. I can drive without any assists and tbh it's quite hard to lose it now unless I hit grass, with GT5 - Forza is a lot harder but that's another story.

I've already tried to break it my smacking it into a door frame - I have it clamped to an old laptop desk, which I attempted to pick up and move back to where my Xbox is and duly smashed the top of the wheel onto the doorframe, I think I loosened the clamp slightly but appear not to have damaged anything, which is handy really.

Standard pedals are doing ok for now - ordering CSR Elite pedals in around a month's time.

Not tried it with PC but it works pretty well on both consoles.

Fully recommend it for GT5, works brilliantly despite no direct in-game support for the exact wheel.

Unbelievable - saw this on the news. Hope you get home soon - don't Qantas know about WRS?

I think they do, that's why they're all having the week off...

Anyone know a good hotel in LA that is good for kids and near entertainment and amenities?

I can program buttons on the GT2 using the "Driving Force Pro" menu.
Not sure it works for the CSR though.

If you can find a USB extension cable that might resolve you short cable problem.

I believe the CSR elite pedals use the load cell brake. You'll love that.

Forza 4 does have the Fanatec wheel bug, never should of happened. Not playing it until they fix the problem.

GT2 works great on all my PC games.

poolhaas · Oct 30, 2011

How much hp does anyone have after breaking in? I'm at 801 hp, just to make sure.
Fitted all the parts allowed at least I think since my stock 0 km was around 754 hp.

MilleRSVR · Oct 30, 2011

I'm at 784hp with about 140 miles on the car.

Guess I'll let Racer Bob do some laps. 17hp more should help.👍

millross · Oct 30, 2011

I was at 767 when I set my time. Didn't realise it went that high!

More importantly, a hotel with rentable PS3 and G27? 💡 That's a real crapper Jon, I'm sorry mate. This week of all weeks. :grumpy:

@Matt -

MilleRSVR
I can program buttons on the GT2 using the "Driving Force Pro" menu.

Me too (GT3 RS) 👍

MilleRSVR
If you can find a USB extension cable that might resolve you short cable problem.

Or just a longer cable - Fanatec cable is the same as any USB printer cable.

MilleRSVR
I believe the CSR elite pedals use the load cell brake. You'll love that.

Amazing feature, along with the reassuring ABS vibration - my braking has been much more precise since getting the Clubport pedals, which the CSR pedals seem very similar to.

Ain't that the truth - this is a very different beast with the tuning and turbo... :crazy:

Nice splits Jonas 👍 Big rewards for cojones at Spa. Pouhon is quite tough in this tank - going to have to dial out some understeer I think.

I'm still on stock setup aside from max downforce and a looser diff. Engine at 771 still so I'd better get some miles on it....

Got this so far:

34.583
1'02.951

Spa is awesome. I hope anyone who hasn't run it before enjoys this week. :cheers:

GTPorsche · Oct 30, 2011

Probably won't be able to compete this week as I don't have the DLC and I'm not sure if I will have it by the end of the week.

Completely lost time with last week's combo since I got sidetracked by Battlefield 3.

You could always go stay in Anaheim near Disneyland. They have some great (but spendy) hotels right on site (Grand Californian is amazing), or there are several more reasonable but less luxiurious options nearby. Would give you links, but this is from Android.

:lol:

at Quantas trying to keep you out of this WRS.
