Like you I have a quicker lap that I am literally catching the rumble strip at the chicane with the left front, by a whisker. Having watched it though, it's a little too close for comfort and I'm not submitting the lap because like yourself, I'm fairly new to WRS and want to submit 100% clean laps at this point. Provided your slightly slower time still ranks well in your division, why not be safe than sorry? If your pace is good I'm sure you'll do well again next week...and after that...and so on.
I'm currently a shade in front in Div3 but I'd rather someone beats me, than submit my 'doubtful' lap and run the risk of a DQ!.
Just my take on it 👍

On my replay I can clearly see that a fraction of the tire is on the strip, whats annoying me the most is that I know I have a great final sector that I will not be able to repeat in a hurry, plus I have already submitted that time, if needed can I re run it and submit a new time, Don't really want to until I have had some more feedback about my lap.

2 points about your post.
As others know, in the past I have spent nearly an hour to prove someone's lap was clean or dirty here at Monaco.
I do not look forward to this weeks replays as many will be close and to find the exact location for a photo can take time, sometimes a lot of time.
So point 1, if you are sure it is clean (2 wheels on track) as described by redreevos then submit it.
Which brings me to the 2nd point, you really only need to submit once, after you are done running the combo.........for the week, not each day or hour.
So please indulge me/us with a photo of the exact location of your close call.
You seem to be behind the PS3 many hours a day, so time is not an issue and a photo would help your cause, ease your worries and let others see how close you are
Point 3...........slow down, man. 👍
And the big guns start to show up.Hey, gonna run a few laps tonight, cheers

I'm having fun with the combos that Kevin has dreamed up.
We have a bunch of new members and they are forthcoming with banter and info for the others.
I was a bit surprised at your first placing but I see you have a new wheel and now are ready for some hotlapping.
D1 looks somewhat empty of past members and it's good to see some of them back.
Other than that, all is good.

Yeah rewind and slowmotion would be lovely, but then I will not repeat this thread, we have to do with photomode. You start it when you have paused the replay (button at bottom right), there you can look at the car from all angles, take a photo and upload for review.
I also have a few laps that I have studied to death, and have concluded that the front left wheel can not possibly have lost contact with the rumble strip. But without rewind and frame stepping there is no way to prove clean, only unclean. And that amount of inspection means I am in doubt, and doubt = no submit.
Remember we review each others' replays, and if I needed X time to be reasonably sure, I am putting the same burden on the reviewer.

I take a video of the replay with my camera and then just look at that frame by frame. It's only 30fps (maybe even 20!), but it more than does the job. That's probably the easiest way to do it, as I'd imagine most people can take a video with either their phone or a camera.

I actually looked at this with photo mode, but the problem was pausing it at the right moment, it took so many attempts. I can see from a certain angle that a fraction of the tire is still on the rumble strip, thats why I asked around on the thread to find out other peoples opinions on whether it was clean or not, as I have no clue how to put a picture up on this site for your opinions.
I submitted this time last night, if I am not sure about it can I submit an older time that is slower which will override this one?

In photomode when you have found your camera placement, press X, then you get into the actual picture-taking mode, press X a few more times and and you end up with a jpg saved in Photo Album, where you can "export" to the PS3, and from there to USB. Yes it is an exercise in pointlessness
. Upload to some site and the use the "Insert Image" button when writing a post.Latest submit overrides previous so no problem.

*Sigh*
I just ran a Twenty-Seven-1 / Fourty-Four-1 and was quicker at the line by a good few car lengths - watched the replay back and...well, it's a close call, again. I dare not submit it, so will stick with what I've got.
I *think* I give up now, but we'll see

Great splits nizzy. Should be a close finish between you, I and Chuk - just about 1 tenth in it on split times, so the joy of WRS T3s will be in full effect
THanks. It took a fair amount of time to get. Had a 2 hour run last night and then I started telling myself "one more lap" after another 2 hours that was the best time I had managed. My T1 could have been quicker and my T3 was ok but was most impressed with my T2. Yes it is going to be very close this week
My T3 is terrible, so I'm not expecting much there. Even my t2 is deceptive, because I hit the chicane right, but had missed the entry on the corner before.
Lame week for me. I love the combo, but could only muster about four hours. I've been a driving slut this week, I'll admit it. Many combos, many tracks! My immense thanks to both Kenny and Jake for providing the best of racing!
Only fours hours this week, good times from that. It feels like I have done 104 and i'm only .004 in front. I am hoping your T3 is as poor as you say to give me a chance.

T1: 27.181
T2: 44.572
Haven't had as much time as normal this week so quite happy with that. Addictive combo though so might have more more go before submitting if time permits.
Not sure if the replay checking is going to be very enjoyable this week though.

Time submitted with posted splits. I had the game freeze a few times this week, which it hasn't done since the academy. Hopefully, it won't happen again. For now, I'm off to Eiger. Good luck, everyone!
Race on!
