Have Fun



Viewing your Time Splits:





  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not 'Save Replay'.
  • To view your best lap replays, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.
  • While in the 'Replay Theater' you can view your total Oval lap time in the replay summary.
  • While Viewing Your Road Course Replay, Choose the "Live Timing Monitor" To View Your Sector Times.
  • To post your T1, T2 and T3 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!

Standard Clean OLR Rules:






  • At least two tires in contact with track at all times.



    • In situations where contact with the track is not possible because tires are airborne (above the ground), then the run is only legal if at least two tires in line would have made contact with the track if the car were not airborne.
    • If track contact cannot be 100% determined, then consider it dirty.





  • Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
  • Runoff areas are not part of the track
  • No contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
  • If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty
  • No hybrids
  • No cheating of any kind,these are relaxed races and we are experienced racers, we know what times can be done,and we can read your mind.We will know.
  • Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules
  • Save your best lap/ghost replay








Thread rules:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on MSN or via other private conversation methods
):






  • Lap Time
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total road course lap time






The following information can be discussed in this thread
:






  • T1 and T2 times
  • Any settings discussion





Number of Splits: 2
The posting of settings is encouraged, but it's certainly not mandatory. We respect anyone wishing not to post settings, so please do not publicly ask someone to post their settings, they will if they want to. It is however expected for splits to be posted if you're taking part.

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 109 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.

Good luck, :gtplanet:

Nice combo to drive, just finished running in and did some runs to get some track time, seems nice and planted to the track. Will get us rolling.

Good, some first splits - this one looks more fun than the Cappuccino at Kart Space so will definitely be giving this one a go later.
 
First laps, not run the car in yet and never setup and FF car before so a steep learning curve.

First Splits:

42.053
27.295
 
Not really a big fan of FF cars... mostly since I'm usually pretty hopeless in them. Nurburgring GP tracks are usually kind to me though so I'll give it my best shot.

Car not quite a full power yet (197bhp) but I don't think those last 2 horses will change that much.

My setup:

Pretty good fun for an FF. :) A couple of tenths to find I think... Hard to say how many at this point.

Edit - No, I'm not 1 second faster through sector 1 :dunce:

Haha, I raised my eyebrows when I saw that :lol: Good tune though 👍 Just trying it now :)

Used my gears and different toe settings to yours ;)

Looks like we will need to be very precise again this week, at least this combo doesn't try and kill you every other corner though :lol:

Still not full power as I changed oil too early :dunce:

Had a few laps with one that had decent times but DQ'd on the chicane. I'll have more time later.
 
Ran this a bit earlier, but was hoping for a tune since I can't seem to get ff cars to handle right. I'll try Chris' later.
 
You'd almost think I knew what I was doing. :rolleyes:

Did about 10 laps today using Vagabond's setup and not looking too good so far haha. Need to keep practicing this one. Not a fan of the FF, but maybe I'll figure her out by the end of the week.

Keep it tight in to the curbs and early on the throttle to pull it round. Stay off the curbs though, they'll bounce you and lose traction. And call me Chris. :)

Here's my machine this week:

Bloody awful 3rd sector of course... goddam that chicane.

A horsepower shy of full song but I'll get Div 2 started here:

Crap thru the chicane so lots of room for improvement. Looks like Chris has the tune this week so far. Thanks mate.
 
First splits for me. Built a tune and ran a few laps, only halfway or so broken in. My tune is not that far from Chris' from the look of things, but I did build it independently. I think the LSD will make a pretty big difference, I tried some different things, and this worked well.

Just threw away an almost magic lap - too close to call it in sector 1 on the run-off area to the right of turn 2. :ouch: Kevin took a look for me too and we agreed its too close to really be considered clean.... more's the pity. :mischievous:

So these will have to do for now:

41.824
26.812

Much better 3rd sector though and up 0.15 at the line.

Nice splits James lad 👍 - I had a 26.754 on my 'magic' lap but not repeated that as yet.

Great splits guys 👍 I don't know how you can go so fast in the middle sector :scared:

This is my first TT since quitting DS3 cold Turkey last week:scared: I have moved to a G27 and lovin every minute of it!

A big Thankyou:tup: to Chris for the tune and the 1st sector video. Very big help. I am still breaking down the video and would be very happy to have a first sector anywhere under 42. Just a side note.....it is amazing how much the sound of the engine helps when you are trying to mimic someones line and shifting...

Nice one 👍 Expect big gains over the next few weeks as you get used to the G27. How's your pace so far compared to DS3? Many people, myself included (back in GT4), take a backward step when first swapping to a wheel but after that its all onward and upward.

Glad the setup and vid are helpful - I've made a couple of tweaks to the setup which I'll post shortly but basically I sort of nearly copied Kevin's ride height (-25/-15), changed the LSD to 5/25/10 and changed the final drive to 2.997, shifting at the red line.

Great splits guys 👍 I don't know how you can go so fast in the middle sector :scared:
Thanks John. 👍 I don't think there's a trick to be had in sector 2, its just an exercise in smoothness and precision just like sector 1. You've a mighty 1st sector there though - that would take some beating.

I just somehow managed another pretty good lap - thanks for the momentum Kev. :sly:

41.695
26.783

Tidy last sector too although I lost a fraction being a little cautious into the chicane. This is definitely good for a banker though I think and I'll spend any remaining sessions chasing that last tenth.

And James man, stop stealth updating your splits - just make a new post you surly bugger. :P

Thanks :) That's a quick banker ;)

I've found a better ride height to use now, which seems to work better, and I've been over a tenth faster than that first sector, should be able to improve by quite a considerable margin now, will try again in the morning as I have a headache now :lol: Thanks for all the tuning tips, my ride height now is full rear, minimum front :lol:
 
What the hell are you laughing at exactly? Or is it that internet related hysteria that seems to affect the under 30s?
 
Vagabond
What the hell are you laughing at exactly? Or is it that internet related hysteria that seems to affect the under 30s?

Are you turning into a grumpy old man? lol (whoops)

Just laughing at the fact that using bizarre ride heights was working for me :lol: But probably a bit of that too :P

EDIT: Also I'm probably in a bit of a giddy mood because I drank too much coca cola, so that probably accounted for it :lol:
