GT4 WRS Week 145 : Official Results

[Sphinx]

Sorry this is taking so long, but I can't seem to get this post to stay here. This is my third attempt, so its short. Lap 8 at about 1 minute in, the AI contact to me is 1 contact, but I would like a second opinion. Lap 9 pit entrance needs to be double checked also. There is wall contact on laps 1 and 5. There is AI contact on lap 2. Besides those its clean and the correct specs. To me I would give it the green flag.

Nice driving by the way esh.

I'll take a look at this later today after work. Thanks for all your hard work, 01gtp. 👍👍👍

Maybe it's because of your double posting my friend? You might know that the forum owners don't really like that tho your intentions obviously are very good 👍

I know Steven, thanks though. I was trying to edit my previous post and it said I had to log on. Twice. So I said oh well its a double post. But only after closing the page and logging on. It seems my computer is not recognizing me from time to time....? After the replay I wrote an encyclopedia on the lap and my reasons for calling it clean. The second was a bit shorter and well you see the last post. By then time was short, very short.

As for esh's replay. The contact to me should be counted as one. It is the same accident/occurrence. As for the lap 9 contact. I can not prove contact, so to me its clean. Innocent until proven guilty.

Thanks for checking and for the explanation. I'm going to watch it again myself. I was really happy with my time. So happy that I submitted it without watching the replay first, thinking there was at most a wall touch and 2 AI touches. Bummed me out when I finally did watch it and saw what I thought there to be a 3rd AI touch.

As for the pit wall touch, I think there was a point, though it's not noticeable in the replay, where you (the driver) no longer have control of the car and have to choose A/B spec, tires, fuel and the computer takes over. I can't recall if it was this run or another but there was an instance where I noticed the car hit the wall while I wasn't in control.

Thanks again for investing your time. 👍👍

I've viewed esh's replay and have given this run a DQ. I have included the wall touch going into the pits on lap 9 as any wall touches in that area is always caused by the driver entering the pit lane too fast/wide, therefore driver error, not game error.

Wall and AI Contact:

Div 3: Only two wall touches and two A1 touches are allowed.

1 x wall touch (lap 1)

1 x AI touch (lap 2)

1 x wall touch (lap 5)

1 AI touch (lap 8)

1x wall touch (lap 9)

= 3 x walls + 2 x AI's.

I'll leave this thread open for 24hrs to allow anyone to discuss this decision is they wish to do so.

Thanks for the input Sphinx. I will agree with you on the replay. Some of the gray areas in confirming replays (as in the pits) I would like to have proof of, before any accusation, whether photo, second opinion or official desicion. I'm still kinda new here and have not crossed many (if any) gray areas in these races. The officials have crossed many (if not all) controversial areas before I'm sure and I am sure I will have questions in the future. This series is well thought out and we all seem to be professional in our goals. Some times its the personal feelings that may be clouding my thoughts and judgements.Thanks.
I would like to hear any comments on the replay also.

Well since I thought I was out anyway for 3 AI touches this really is no surprise. I will be more thorough of my replay inspection before submitting times to avoid situations like this. Thanks for your input and time guys.
