Steward's Comments:
Full Cape Ring for the first time in WRS. I know we've used this car before, but the Super GT car is a great fit here, and I did not want tuning in the mix.


Viewing your T1, T2 & T3 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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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

This is going to be a tough one. :scared:
Good thing it's an arcade one. Otherwise it would've been tuning for a whole week :lol:

Terrible sector 3.

Edit

41.977
31.145
47.288

22 laps down. Not too bad, bit rough round the edges. I don't get that triple/quadruple right hander in sector 3, think im losing a lot there.

Sweet T3 Lefty.... I guess you worked out that quad right-hander ;)

Thankz :) I just try to make it one big sweeper and leave a little wig in it so I can wag through the zig zag at the exit. In the Academy challange we were able to mow the lawn at pit exit and that really set up the left hand 180 but w/ the extra traction of the R3z the grass is safe this time :lol:

------------------------------------ a little more speed in T3 ----------------------

I just knocked out a 46.775 but my showz and OT were were off by a tenth :(

OH YEAH!!
Love the combo, nice work Kev.
No tuning required, just drive, my kind of combo.
As per normal I will camp out at the bottom of the leaderboard to start with and slowly stalk the D4 guys!

Cheers All !!!
 
I got a new wheel recently to replace my old one that eventually started smoking so i will be rejoining this week seeing that the combo is interesting. I know the car but i don't know the track at all so its a good opportunity to learn it. Nice to see we don't have to work on setups too but i fear it might become a bit of an understeer party with r3's..We'll see.
 
T1: 43.789
T2: 32.158
T3: 50.631

A very very ugly start to the week.
BUT, a start none the less, lots of time to be made up, clean lines would be a good start to better times!
Cheers All !!!
 
Did 3 laps on the go,
42.545
31.992
48.652

Great combo 👍, and no need to tune anything, I really suck at tuning...
