Dude I did that exact same test in post 1406..... with pictures! :dopey: lol
Are you kidding? Your test involved fixing an object hundreds of feet away in the center of your screen (leaves room for error), driving toward it and stopping halfway, going into photo mode and walking 20 paces, doing an about-face, and taking a picture of your car... twice.

Contrast that with my stationary car looking down a straight line and changing the camera angle. My test actually makes sense, to the point that pictures are unnecessary. :)
 
Both are valid tests. Let's not get into a contest about whose test is better, or who proved what first, and accept the conclusion that driver position is centered when in bumper view, and offset to the driver's side in cockpit view...

... and get back on topic.
 
No, we must have a Weekly View Test Series! WVTS!





Back to seriousness... What are the chances we can get an unofficial "Practice Event" until the real kickoff?
 
Hey guys, the results came in faster than expected which was a pleasant surprise. I was happy to see D1 Gold and not surprised to see Nick at the top,well done mate. Also to CT well done on snatching away 3rd place (at the moment anyway) and to DANNY-D and Animera,congrats for your D1 Silver placings. I was surprised to see Dan in D1 Bronze,I really don't understand what happened because I have raced him on the Nurburgring and he definetly had D1 Silver pace :sly:. Looking forward to a fresh start and thanks to all involved for organising this. Steve. :cheers:

If you enjoy the F1 cars, I had fun challenging myself today on the SSR5 night course in the F2007. Hard Racing, all assists off, took quite a while to beat the 1:00 mark.

I guess it's not really practice if the WRS never uses F1 cars, but they're the most fun to drive for me. :)
 
Heeeey... Where is my credit for that wonderful photomode picture you used for the Division 3 heading? :lol:
Thanks for using it though 👍

Thanks for pointing out, I thought to ask Vaxen the same.

We'll be sure to get credits for the pics in the thread. 👍
 
Haha really? I was only kidding but thanks! :P
That was my favourite run at Sector 3; managed to bin it halfway through and decided to drift the last couple of corners. :lol:

Apologies to those who did not get credit for their pics. I wanted to use pictures from participants, where possible. We'll get this updated, and will do the same for the weekly events.
 
Glad to see I made the same division without putting in crazy hours to achieve the times I got, maybe 1 hour for each sector. Anyway, looking forward to the WRS, I'm aiming for promotion! :D

Thanks to all the admins for the effort put in to running this, and future events!

Oh and btw... I'm the top Irishman!!:sly:

Im the second Irishman, but im in division 3 silver. Im surprised there more didn't take part.
 
Thanks Vax 👍
I should have slapped a copy-write on it then sued you for millions of cents...
:D

Not sure what the future holds. But F1 cars were used in prologue for an event or two.
 
It's explained in the QUALIFIER thread. If they want it, they'll tell you what to do.

It's a lot about how much time you dedicate for the qualifier..

I guess som drivers drove for days, others about 1 hour..
In the end, as it looks for now, it's only one second between the last D1 bronze driver and the 1st D1 gold driver on such a long stint.. That's nothing in my book. Atleast when you know that drivers put down different amount of time.

I bet Dan did not put down the time needed to get a D1 gold time.. But he might be at the same skill level even tough the result shows something else.. Leavs room for promotion 👍

I believe its a fair bit more than 1 second.
It is a "handicap" difference of 1, not a second counter.

Also, Was just looking through, Awesome Job to my fellow Aussies 👍 :cheers: 4 in the top 6 :cool:

No apology needed. I would actually have preferred to remain anonymous as mine was the dirtiest of snapshots. :)
 
As the first WRS maybe upon us very soon, would all wrs members please add which copy of the game you have?

PAL
NTSC
DLC
Others.

As you’ll find this beneficial when it comes to viewing replay, there is a small list here to help you if you’re unsure.

As far as I know a person with a pal copy cannot view a replay by a member with a NTSC copy and vice versa, if you could place this into your signature it would help everyone thanks.

I'm starting to get itching feet waiting for week 1. :nervous:

Judging by the amount of qualifiers, it might just break the 100 mark for entries. :crazy:

Good Luck to all 👍

I think it's fair to put in as much time into the qualifier as you were planning to put into the weekly races. I put in about 30 minutes per sector on teh qualifier and plan on doing the same on a weekly basis. In the end it comes out to the same thing. Though I'm sure some people were slower than usual to move up int he ranks later.
