Submission And Participation:

When you have verified your lap is clean and the best you can do, visit http://frs.atspace.co.uk/submit.
Fill out each field and click Submit at the bottom to complete the process.

This week's time needs to be submitted before March 19th by 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time. This is GMT -8 or -7 depending on daylight savings time.

If you encounter any issues with the submission form or process, please send a PM to Terronium-12 or Jump_Ace. Also note the following:

  • You can submit only ONCE (be sure to give it your best effort)
  • Please give it your best effort as sandbagging is highly frowned upon in the Forza Planet community.

Feel free to post your best times in this thread. You can compare how you stack up with other participants throughout the week by visiting the FRS Weekly Splits Leaderboard (which can be found here: http://frs.forzaplanet.net).

After you have submitted your absolute best effort in the Qualifier, keep an eye on FP_Registry to see your division placement.

Please refer to this Time Calculator Website to properly add multiple times together (when necessary) before submitting your time.

This is a friendly competition open to drivers of all abilities, so start racing and we'll see you in the results :) 👍




Time Verification:


SPECIAL NOTE: When running your qualifier time. Please restart your session every 15 or sooner (10 to 12 laps depending on the track). FM4 will stop recording your replay after (roughly) 15 minutes. Thus, if you run your best lap after it stops recording, it won't count as you can't provide the replay.

Save your replay and keep it at least 6 weeks after submission:


  • Top 3 fastest times from each division 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 a replay within 3 days
  • Failure to do so will result in the submitted time being ignored for official registration
  • Video replays are not accepted (i.e. using camera phone, camcorders, etc.)

Submitting And Verifying A Requested Replay:

If a request is made for you to supply a replay, look in the results thread for a "(Replay Required)" to appear next to your name and submitted time. You may also get a PM if a replay hasn't been promptly provided.

Many hands make little work and if you can assist the Race Stewards in verifying each others lap times, it won't go unappreciated. Follow The Guide To Managing FM4 Replays to verify another drivers submitted time.

Remember to mark whether the replay was valid or not in the results thread:

- Clean/Valid Lap

- Dirty/Invalid Lap

- DQ'd Lap (only used in the results thread by the Race Stewards)

The code to insert a flag is. Remember to wrap them in an Image Tag;

Race Stewards Comments:

Take this FF car and push it beyond it's limits on this fun and open course!
Give this your absolute best effort so we can place you in the proper division.

Remember to keep at least two tires on the rumble strip and/or within the white lines on the tarmac. Taking a turn too fast that causes you to go into a run-off, dirt, sand, etc. will invalidate your lap.

Because the FRS is a new series, here is a quick run-down of what you need to do to participate:

  1. Run the Registry Qualifier if you haven't yet, which can be found HERE.
  2. Now load up this week's FRS Car and Track Combo. Drive your best, clean lap(s). Post your results in this thread as you progress throughout the week.
  3. Compare your splits with other participants by visiting the FRS Weekly Splits Leaderboard
  4. When you've done your best, submit your time before the above deadline using FRS Submission Form found HERE.
NOTE - Regarding week's submission form, please leave the Division section blank.

If you have any questions, please post them in the Registry Discussion Thread.

Good luck. 👍

FP OLR Admin Team :cheers:

 
Loving it. :D

Just wanna leave my own personal note: The divisions, much like it's alluded to here, won't be posted until after the title update. We still don't know the extent of what it's changing and I don't want to do anything until it's gone Live. So, be patient and hopefully we can get this done this week; that's the optimist in me.

For everyone who has submitted a time you are free to participate.
 
And for those that haven't...get on it! 👍

If anyone needs clarification on the rules, let one of us know. And/or something isn't clear in the description, or there are typos, let one of us know.

NOTE - the submission deadline is Big, Bold and Green in the post to help you quickly pinpoint it.

:cheers:

Okay, let me get this straight, because I'm confused (melting brains). I thought we already did the qualifier (to place us in various divisions) with the Diablo on Infineon? Was that just practicing and is that submission going to be discarded, or do I really not understand how FRS works at all? :D Any clarification would be very much appreciated!
 
That was to put drivers in their respective divisions (coming soon!). We wanted to get started with the FRS because we're tired of waiting for the update :)

I've modified the Race Stewards Comments to outline what steps are required to participate. HTH.

Jerome
 
ahhh so the divisions aint up yet, was wondering why I couldn't find them. I haven't recieved a PM yet either to tell me if I have been accepted
 
Its early days, but I found a bug in frs.forzaplanet.net. Instead of showing this weeks splits, it shows the splits of the qualifier. Not sure if this is intended though.

Those were just my testing splits for the leaderboard. I had to make some changes to it when changing it form the GTPlanet WRS to the FPlanet FRS.

Once people start posting splits (or when I have some free time again) I'll go update/change it :cheers:


Jerome
 
Shall I leave the division and placement fields blank on the submission form?

Hadn't thought of that, thanks buddy.

For this week's submission, please leave the division blank.

EDIT - I've updated the FRS Leaderboard to not reflect any divisions. Once we get our divisions ironed out, I'll add them in with colors. The fastest time will be in bold.

So start posting your time fellas! 👍

Jerome
 
Finally!

So there is a planed update to the game? When is this supposed to go down?

I can't wait to drive this track/car combo. Half of why I play Forza is to drive cars in their stock form. I will be uploading when I get the chance!
 
True, a very nice combo! Its very fun, and was easy for me to put down some competitive laps. 👍
 
Sorry for the confusion guys.

You can drive this combo on your own at any time and as often as you want.

As you beat your previously best lap, post it here in this week's thread for others to see.

You don't need to submit your time to the FRS Submission form until you feel you've reached your own personal limit. Just be sure to get it in by the deadline for that week 👍

So crispy and chaoticdaz, you guys can just reply to this thread with your time so far and when you beat it, make a new post about it (unless it's going to be a double post of course ;)) I'll go delete your guys' times off the submission form since you have all week to run the combo.

In short, don't use the FRS Submission form until you have given your best effort and are done with that week's combo. HTH.


Jerome
 
Do you have the full-sized version of that fourth shot?

Also, holy crap, new idea.. :D
 
Sure do buddy, you can find it in my storefront here.


Jerome
 
I've managed a 1:06.010 for now. Still have more in me. Though I am a silver account and I know my time will not be an official time. In it for the fun. I LOVE THIS SERIES!!
 
Leaderboard Updated.

It would be great if everyone can put whether you use a wheel or gamepad in your signature line that would help a lot going forward 👍

Jerome
 
About 12 laps landed me about a 1:06 and a half. I know I can probably improve. This car/track combo is dynamic; I was following a lap time I placed in an Integra and the places where the Veloster would have the advantage were totally different from the ITR.

I find that sometimes in turn 1, Its hard to decide on 2nd or 3rd gear. I also find it best to keep your momentum in all turns, even if that involves going a little wide.
 
Can you put that you use a wheel in your signature line for me? Thanks.


Jerome
 
Okay so I ran a few laps tonight and my best so far is 1:04.318. I think there is a little more in there some where. But I have a question to ask. The rules state 100% stock. That is what I am running but curious if you are allowed to adjust the tire presure? I do not want to do this until I can get it clarified by the Admins.

Thanks

EDIT: Well there was more in it, now sitting at 1:04.155. Got scared when I saw the lap count was 16 laps. So I had to watch the replay to make sure it was there. I got luck and it is. I hope to set a better time with less laps on it.

I think there might be a high 1:03 if I can find it this weekend. Will wait on the answer about adjusting tire presure before trying for it.

Good luck everyone, I feel like I might have an unfair advantage over some since I ran the Veloster challange and put lots and lots of seat time in this car.
 
Tire pressure adjustments are not allowed, and while it's possible you may have something of an advantage, it does not change the game. :P

So get out there and go faster.
