We tried our best to keep WRS afloat for a very long time, and dedicated countless hours for testing and thread making, mainly for our love for the community. But in my case in particular, it came to a point where I had to wonder if all that time was worth investing in a competition that in many weeks didn't have more than 5 participants. My personal opinión is that while in-game time trials don't have a sense of community they do reward players with credits in a game where those are not easy to get, not to mention the chance of real life success for our división 1 players. In a nutshell, PD took over our job. Of course that's not the only reason, but the main one in my humble opinión.
GT7 is not a bad game, but it doesn't provide a very friendly base for what we do either. Time trials have variables that are not adjustable (Wind speed and direction) and they influence lap times, which PD is aware of, which is why their own TTs have zero wind settings. Then there's the issue of car rotation in used dealerships which makes it very difficult to make sure every participant has access to the cars. Not to mention those are probably the best cars in the game.
Loved my time as a WRS steward but for all this reasons I needed to move on to other endeavors. There's always the chance we meet again here someday.
Long post, sorry for the rant...
