I just got wind of these qualifiers...which ends soon. Should I try to submit times tomorrow morning or wait for the next qualifier? and when will that be?

No, you should probably put a decent effort into them and submit when we re-open them. We should open within 7-10 days and you can be getting your times down during that period and be ready to submit when we re-open.

As far as I understand it, once this qualifier is closed, there will be a short break (a few weeks) then qualifying is opened again. I think it is an ongoing thing so you can qualify at any time but, in terms of the divisions, you will be behind the others who submitted to the initial qualifier (like a Nascar driver who joins, say in Round 5 of the Championship...the other drivers already have points so he would be playing catch up).

There are no points and nobody will be behind in terms of division if they miss the initial cutoff. He will miss the first couple time trials due to not being listed in the registry yet, but he can use that time to put proper effort into the qualifier. On the other hand, if he rushes the qualifier and ends up in the wrong division that can take many weeks to correct until promotions are processed.

So if you are starting now, forget the initial deadline. It's best to take your time, do a good lap, check your replays carefully and then be ready to submit when we re-open.

Swing and a miss.....registration failed. Can someone PM and let me know what I missed? Thanks.

Okay, apologies for telling him the wrong thing. I just assumed that you would get points for finishing in races, position in time trials etc and that would determine where you finish in the division.....clearly I have completely missed how the WRS works. Apologies again

If you compete in a time trial and do well (above your current handicap) you can improve your handicap and eventually get promoted to a higher division if you do well consistently. And you do compete against other drivers in your division so you didn't get it all wrong. :sly: Just that there is no real cost relative to other competitors when missing a week or two, well except the opportunity lost to compete and potentially improve your handicap a bit. At least for the time being, there is no point system. The online races are similar... for the most part they are all individual events. We do track wins and podiums over time for fun, but you don't fall behind in any standings missing a week or two.

Oh, I see now....that makes sense. It's like the handicap system in golf...the better you get, the better your handicap rating. That system suits me to be honest as I am a bit hesitant to do online races as I tend to lose concentration during races quite easily and would worry about spoiling other people's races with it but at least know if I only do the time trials to begin with, I can still improve my rating. Thanks a lot for the information...very helpful
 
Just submitted my laps, I set my best Willow time before christmas :eek: but managed to shave off another two tenths from Brands Hatch yesterday so I'm hopeful I got the most out of it!

All I have to do is wait... :guilty:

Thanks to all the WRS Admins for organising such enjoyable combos :cheers:
 
I'm not sure if I'll submit for the original deadline. My Willow time feels pretty good, two tenths left in the first sector, but at Brands I'm really not entirely sure what's left. I know there's at least half a second there potentially, but I'll be happy with a few tenths, so I'll submit if I get it. I don't think that would be an over qualification (I hope :nervous:).
 
Well, mine are in. Looking forward to seeing where I am. I put a reasonable attempt in, so should be representative of my speed (or lack thereof)
 
Just spent a couple hours on Brands. Got a time that I'm happy with, but at the same time I know there are a few more tenths out there, just to put that lap together is killing me, so in the interests of mental health, I have stopped there. Might head out to Willow one more time this evening before submitting.

I'm not sure that running laps at Bathurst will help your qualifier time Oink.
 
So, when the deadline is reached, that means that all admins are going to begin compiling the lists and putting people in divisions, and within seven-ten days this round will all be sorted?

I'm nervous and excited! :lol:
 
It is a bit more complex than that. The admins are deliberately vague about it, but it involves hardcore maths, a handicap and a theoretical god lap that we are all compared to. There is a better description of it around somewhere, but I don't remember where.

We've been doing it on the fly since the first submissions started to roll in. Obviously final division placement and handicap calculation will be done once the deadline has passed but most of the work is in processing and verifying replays and as it stands, we are fully up to date with the submissions we've had so far.... So it will most likely be less than a week until we announce the initial division placements.
 
Is FetchBot ok? Submitted but it's telling me there's no GT Data could be found.
Now I'm worrying about putting off submitting til the last day just so I could try shaving a few more tenths last night :nervous:

Did you upload your 2 replays in separate zip files to the message?
 
Dont know where to post this, so i'll just do it here. Would you guys ever run events where you MUST use a clutch and heel toeing/ rev matching is encouraged as I imagine there would be some interest in that
 
Hi guys,
I have tried to submit my times but keep getting the message;

GTP_WRS Registration FAILED Your attachment 'Array' is INVALID!

No Gran Turismo data could be found, make sure to follow the guidelines as described on the forums.

You can create a new conversation with the same body (which was correct), but with the correct replays.

I've tried several times, even re-copied fresh files off ps3 but no joy.. files have been zipped and look right but still not working, have even used the video guide..

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks..
 
Same issue here, I sent to compressed zip the two replays in the savedata and copied those, is that correct?
 
Submitted and accepted, Streets of Willow is one of my least favorite tracks in the game but the Andretti Seasonal helped me get a hang of it, shaved off 5 seconds after I went back at it after golding the seasonal, yes I was that slow :). License test with the aventador helped with Brands Hatch which was more stress the the Veyron.

My goal is to take part in every TT, last time was GTPrologue.
