None that I'm aware of.
Hopefully you've figured out the select button to change the view of the replay, and I know you can hold down L1 to reverse temporarily, another button to reverse permanently. And if you have any close calls with AI, it might be good to view the replay from the AI's perspective.
I learned more than I would have liked about viewing these when checking replays for GTP Event 01.

Right, so we were subjected to looking for rapid speed changes on both cars, and some replays were recorded in slow motion so we could see more detail.
Long story short, keep it obviously clean so we don't have to put everyone through the same thing again.
I know you know that. The comment is for the benefit of all participating, especially those with limited or no experience in OLR.

Sounds like the old fashioned box, like a sprite. I bet that the box's edges just include the car's mirrors, so the more the mirrors stand out, the wider the box. If I'm right, than when damage is introduced, than we still won't be able to nock off each-others side mirrors, unless maybe when the cars hit from an angle.Jαke;3209417

G'day folks... Could you please reinstate my time to the leaderboard? It would appear that I've not been ousted after all and am still awaiting division placement. Many thanks to Sphinx for putting up with, and sorting out, the confusion.

Just leave them lots of room, and there won't be a problem. The suggestions of putting them on harder tires are very good.

Sorted and leaderboard updated. Glad you could sort things out with Sphinx 👍G'day folks... Could you please reinstate my time to the leaderboard?

EDIT I ran a first and rather conservative clean run just to get a clean sum-of-laps for the first time and to prove that a div5 player could reach the board, even if it's gonna be DLBF
Second lap: 1'10.183
Edit board updated up to post 74.

New run:
Lap #2: 1`06.399
I'm quite happy with this race. Every lap was pretty decent, no super-close moments with AI or barrier. There's still maybe 0.5 out there for me but this will do for now 👍

Phew! ... Trimming time off on this circuit has never been easy for me. Long and painstaking. Managed to diet down to a happier 1'06.730 but that felt like a perfect lap with the tune I'm using, so finding another second seems unlikely.
Tried out the Dutch Custom tune and to be honest, I can't keep it in a straight line under braking so I switched back to my own, which is probably rubbish so I'm dubious about sharing it.

At last a clean run with horrible opponents (they do get in the way from time to time).
Lap 2: 1'08.962
What I really hate about these kind of events is the randomness. I may set AI to 1 and tires to N1, but it is still undetermined what kind of cars I'll get as opponents. Yesterday I had opponents who allowed me an almost perfect line, today... a whole different story. I know, I'm behaving like a big baby, but that is what I liked about the GT4 WRS: Driving skill, not tuning skill, nor opponent behaviour.

Also I want to thank Denur/Marc for the work he did in the final months of GT4 WRS on the leaderboard

The key to the AI is to wait for a line up that has almost all OFC, Copen and Cappucinos in front of you. It may take a while but it's worth it in the end. You'll know you have a good line up if you've passed all bar one (or all if you're lucky) by the bottom bridge. As for tuning, I too cannot tune, thankfully generous folk like Stotty provide assistance if you ask nicely I suggest going back through the thread and looking at some of the tunes posted 👍

My pleasure and when things start to get hectic in the GTP WRS, I'm more than happy to give a helping hand again.Also I want to thank Denur/Marc for the work he did in the final months of GT4 WRS on the leaderboard
I guess I don't have the patience, but you're right, it is worthwhile to look for the best lineup.
I'm still using Stotty's setup, with one exception and that is having TC at 1. The runs I did yesterday where after a visit to the pub, which might have slightly hampered my driving.As for tuning, I too cannot tune, thankfully generous folk like Stotty provide assistance if you ask nicely

If you are having trouble with the rear tires slipping try changing the F/R Torque Dist. to 50/50, it certainly keeps the rear end behind you.
I tried the 45/55 for a while and I was surprised at how the rear tires lost traction around the corners, after all its 4WD. It was actually a blast to drive, but it was costing me time and sometimes the rear tires would slide a bit too much and screw up the corner exit (of course driver error). I switched it to 50/50 and no more problem.
Hope this helps you.
And I too want to thank you for the leaderboard updates.

If the back end sliding with the 45\55 in my set up you're either being too violent with the throttle (the soft rear springs\dampers give loads of rear traction, but the first throttle move still needs to be smooth even with 4WD), or you have too much steering lock on when you're getting on the gas (probably because you're understeering mid corner).

Good advice 👍
