GT4 WRS Week 55 : "Deep Blue"

[Thotozam AZ-1]

Well, not submitting again this week. Looks like we MAY have a new first time winner at this rate, and perhaps a D2er at that...

It's a shame not more people are competing, but with JGTC and BC prep, it's tough to find time.

oh well...

-SHig

Maybe I might win...maybe not...
Who knows? Maybe iceman, fasj, or hotboi, or holl if he finds time will destroy my time...no big deal, all I wanted was another Div 2 win, and I might have that if Clemi doesn't do it...

Has a Div 2 ever won overall? I've only been here 10 weeks, and competed in 4, so I don't know...

EDIT: now to wait 2 hours and 9 min until the results are posted....perhaps I should watch the Sony E3 Press Conference I missed yesterday because I was getting those times (Microsoft is at 3 and Nintendo at 4 I believe...need to check on that, but I mainly want to see Sony's)

^^^ Yeah, what Clemi said!?! ^^^

🤬

Edit: Probably a very stupid question but I do have till ten PM tonight don't I? (I'm in the UK)??

I'm getting a bit worried about some of the times put up today? I've been bringing up the rear of Div2 since I started but I don't want to be too far behind??

Deadline is about 2 hours and 15 minutes from now.
That should be 10pm in the UK indeed.

Not that I'm holding out much hope of improving my time, I think I just re-broke my collorbone on a flippin trampoline! Those things should be banned!! 🤬

Or perhaps it's time to realize that you're becoming too old for such activities

 

[Clemi_uk]

DAMN YOU CG !!! Try as i may i cannot even get close to those times

Bettered my own times by .2 but nothing special like yours

Final splits

L1: 1'27.942
L2: 1'2x.xxx
L3: 1'21.358

& now the long wait (87mins )

CG, any chance you could either post or PM me your magic settings after the deadline? Wanna see if its my skillz that needs a fix or my tuning

 

[Thotozam AZ-1]

^^ Sure, no problem

EDIT: watching Microsoft's E3 press conference live, seems like they are rushing Forza 2 to get out before GT5...Just like the 360, rushed.

And about the deadline, 4pm is 1 min away from East Coast US, same timezone as New York...so my guess is that it should be 5pm? Typo? Or is my time wrong?

Deadline is one hour from now, so if it'll be 5pm in New York, then I'll update the threads.

That changes every time we switch from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time.

During Daylight Savings time, the East-coast of the US is GMT - 4. (Four hours behind GMT.) During Standard Time, we're GMT - 5.

🤬 off!

I'm not getting old (I refuse to), but my body's telling me otherwise I think. 24 pieces of stainless steel holding me together so far!

I've had to submit the time I've got on the board, just spent the last hour and a bit trying to improve on it, Doh!

Edit: I live 18 miles east of the Meridian line (GMT), and it still confuses me?

 

[Thotozam AZ-1]

^^ Yeah, I didn't think of that .....oops

I've checked my replay a few more times, still can't believe it. I examine everything, check every part, and check all the corners, but it's clean. I didn't get really close to going off anywhere, except putting 2 wheels off on a chicane after the double apex, but the other wheels stayed on the track.

Lucky guy : 18 miles at the latitude of London (roughly 51.5°) means 1'40.
So by submitting at the UK official time, you have an extra 1'40 compared to if you had to submit at 9pm your exact GMT time.
