so a video of Dan is completely not a motivation, I can never follow it.

Try to do this, GT5- RedBull X1- Nurburgring: 3'19.807 (No Skid Recovery) :

What a lap :crazy:

Unbelieveble skills 👍

sems4arsenal · Jan 20, 2011

Well Dan is the best of the best really ,thats why we Compete here to see how we rack up against the best and with practise hopefully reach their level.I think the best way to achieve a solid lap time in this combo is aggresivnes there is a huge amount of grip in that SLS.

I see no driving skill there other than an ability to keep your foot nailed to the floor and turn the wheel at the appropriate second :lol:

I will be avoiding any WRS weeks that involve the X1... it's not driving!

Agreed. Its all down to massive amounts of downforce. It is fast but very unrealistic.

That's essentially what I thought when doing the Le Mans 24Hr. It's a good lap don't get me wrong, but yea, the car is unrealistic.

I think knowing the time could only be an advantage if it was much faster than your own. That would make you realise you need a new approach. Seeing that someone has done a time only a few tenths faster wouldn't really help as even when you're own inputs show no discernible differences its possible to lose plenty of time over a lap.

Trying a new line was hard for me with no ghost because you can only judge them with your final sector time. I had imaginary splits but they're not accurate enough(I could tell whether it was a low/medium/high 10'59. for example). If I had a good start I wouldn't want to risk experimenting.

Unrealistic is probably the wrong word, if the car was built to those specifications (which we are told is possible with today's technology), then it might not be so far from how the thing may perform in real life. So in that sense, it could be fairly realistic.

How much to it bare a resequence to driving normal cars though? Perhaps not that much. It requires a driving style that is completely unique.

ragnar666 · Jan 20, 2011

So this dan guy posted his time publicly on youtube BUT still gets to participate?

How is that fair?

Do not discuss privately or post publicly any of your splits or final times, or anything relating to this qualifier that would indicate a sector time or a full lap time. By taking part in this qualifier you therefore agree to this very strict ruling

How is that very strict if the punishment is non-exisitant?

Im assuming he is getting special treatment because he is a regular?

Can you honestly say this would be the same if some random newbie did this?

If anything he should know better if he has done this alot and therfore should be held to an even higher standard.

Just my 2c, doubt it will change anything.

What makes you think nothing is being done about it? I would really like to hear how you know this?

As posted by vaxen a few pages back:

Vaxen
Just a quick note on this: holl01 (MarkWebber) posted his sector 2 effort on YouTube, but this is a violation of the rules as laid out in the qualifier thread:

This includes publicly revealing times or splits on other sites. He removed the video at our request, but that particular effort will not be allowed in his submission. We also reserve the right to disqualify submissions by any participant who violates the rules in this manner.

So the time he put on youtube is not going to be allowed to be submitted, Which is basically DOING NOTHING. I doubt it would have been his fastest time anyway so its even less then a slap on the wrist, there is NO consequence basically.

If there is more that is being done I would just like to know what, I'm just going off what vaxen posted which to me makes it look like he is still going to be able to submit a time.

It doesn't really set a good example to have all these strict rules and say you will enforce them and then come out and basically do nothing.

If there is more to it then what vaxen posted perhaps coming out and saying so will deter others.

Maybe the race admins are still discussing the issue and have yet to make a ruling. Perhaps that is why nothing has been announced yet?

Fair enough thanks for clearing it up. I just assumed with the announcement from vaxen that this was the final ruling.

I will do my best not to assume from now on lol.

That is a good point, but it is just hard to picture anything going that fast. I'd lose my lunch before the foxhole :lol:

GTP_joeninety · Jan 20, 2011

The final corner coming up to the finish flags in sector 3 is a hard right hander and the car is usually heading over to the left hand side of the track if you are trying to maintain any sort of car speed - so my question is if the car has crossed to line with 'at least 2 wheels on the track' but is heading off into the weeds after that point is it still classed as a clean lap?
Thanks ,J90

Edit: Sorry found the answer on page 5

dudeondacouch · Jan 20, 2011

I think someone already posted that whatever happens AFTER the finish line does not matter.

01GTP · Jan 20, 2011

Yup, and here is one of them

Falango
Hey guys!

So I'm here racing S3 for the GTP Qualifier, and have a question that some other people could give some feedback on. The last corner. We all know the rules about 2 wheels on the track, but how should we be treating this final corner? Is it legal for me to mash the gas, get the expected understeer, but cross the line a tenth faster than if I had hit the gas a touch later, and kept the car on the racing line after I crossed the line? 'd like some feedback on this before I go further with my attempts. Feedback anyone? Mods and organizers especially.

dranddad
Falango, the right before the line take as you wish, as you've said you know the rules. As Kevin has added hard standing are part of the track, the left side hard standing just before the line is part of the track.

So long as your wheels are legal before you cross the finish line, it don't matter where you end up after that.

I personaly don't, I always try to keep two wheels on the track at all times, makes me a little slower but that's how I enjoy the game.

Dude.

If something is not related to a thread then many will not reply to it, you'll find in WRS we tend to keep what you may call a tidy house, which all goes towards helping the OLR team.

Look for a more appropriate place to ask your question, I'm sure you'll get lots of replies then.

Phillip.

Falango
Thanks for the input. I've made sure that as my car crosses the line, the car is still on track according to the rules. I had one replay I saved where when I crossed the line, I was on track, but because of the amount of understeer I had from full acceleration, the car was well off track after the finish line. I just wanted some clarity on whether that was acceptable or not.

Fastas
Pretty much what I asked:

The answer fron Vaxen:

Falango
Perfect, thanks! 👍

I myself end my sector as I were continuing on.
If it were to be reviewed it would look correct but you can do as you wish, just be careful.

How very resilient of you to get that far! It think most would be queasy through Hatzenbach and Hocheichen and then completely done at Flugplatz.

dudeondacouch · Jan 20, 2011

Times submitted.

Although... the Qualifier thread didn't specify how to format times that include hours, so I just had to do my best.

Mandatory post to send a pm. Registration was easy and I'm looking forward to working my way up.

Doing the same.

I do believe a machine can, I'm not certain man is able to take this pace.

Anyway, I already did not enjoy the F1 in GT5p, so I probably will not enjoy the X2010 (has been reserved to the Bobs till now).

Bugger all this for a lark.

I'm done. There are still several tenths in it for me but I just can't bring myself to try and find them.

That's pretty much how I feel. I know there's time left on the track because I've done parts of the lap better before, but without being warmed-up and in the rhythm (which can take quite a while) I won't get a full lap done that's any better than my current best.

I submitted mine this morning. Hopefully the few tenths I couldn't get recorded won't make any real difference to my placing.
