First attempt of 20 laps. It might take some effort for me to beat. Maybe once I can sort out the hairpin...

24.492
49.825
 
I sent my replay a few hours ago and Fetchy still hasn't responded to me yet.

EDIT: Decided to re-send my replay to see if Fetchy will respond this time. I'm 100% sure I've done everything correct.

That's one of the worst trampolines I have ever driven.

I really don't 'get' combos like this; the car specifically.

Nice to see you greeting this with the same level of enthusiasm as you had for the qualifier. 👍 Consistency is the key eh?

I don't really 'get' why people who don't really have anything to say insist on chiming in anyway. Seems most people who have run it so far are enjoying it... or at least it would be my assumption that the ones who don't like it have at least the manners to stay quiet and let the rest of us enjoy it.
 
Quick question, do you need to submit a replay file every time you post split times in this thread.
Or is it enough to submit your best lap replay once at the end of the week?
 
First splits (about 15 laps in)

25.217
51.100

The car is not really my cup of tea, but great to be WRS'ing again :)

No, no need to submit your lap until you're happy with your final time; the splits are just so we can see how competitive we are. If you do submit a lap you're happy with but then run again and beat it, you can submit your new lap and it will replace the previous one.
 
My first splits:

25.138
51.171

Not the greatest but really not enjoying it massively with the DS3! First sector is a nightmare! I will get there though :)

Love the challenge that the WRS brings every week.

I think I'm getting it....slowly..... That turn 1 is still really hard, I can't do it as smooth as the videos that have been posted, it goes very light and slidey. Not sure it really matters so long as you hit the apex.

Nice splits @Cats_PJs >:D - get your ass in this division in style! :cheers:

I'll admit I was a little unsure about the combo choice, given it's a powerful rally car on a twisty track, but I have to say I've warmed up to the car and it's a fun challenge to get right 👍

After another 50 laps or so I've had the strangest consistency, 6 laps within 0.035 of my best lap and the rest of them were nowhere :lol:

Ok. Thanks. Just run my first lap, so here are my first ever WRS splits.

Diplomatic mode: No combo can be everyone's cup of tea. There will be another 149 combos or so that you can sink your teeth into if this one is not for you - please don't discredit the work done and time put in by the admin team in turning around an event for everyone to have a go at, though.
 
Reposting my splits, Fetchy didn't update the Leaderboard from my first post a couple hours ago for some reason.

24.501
49.785

EDIT, Leaderboard updated.

Tough combo for me, struggling to get my head around this car. Takes a real smooth touch on the throttle and brakes. Oversteer under braking, understeer with too much throttle on corner exit. Don't see too much improvement for me on this one.

First laps at this combo resulted in me remembering why apricot is a personal favourite.

T1 24.293
T2 49.610

Was not happy with exit from hairpin looked like I was on a rally section with how sideways I came out of it.
 
Small improvement for me now I'm only braking once per corner, definitely a fun combo even if it was frustrating at first. These splits are a little bit off as I was a bit slower but with this replay method it's the closest I can get.

Jeez, the combo has been up for less than 24 hours, we're on page 7, one guy is ready to submit....and I haven't even started yet :lol:

Great to see so many of the new drivers so enthusiastic and engrossed so early 👍

Race on

Yeah, the thread grew about 3-4 pages overnight. Had to do some reading in order be up to date myself. :)
 
So many entries already and I haven't even started yet, had to go away for the weekend. I can't wait to give this a go, unfamiliar track to me which is good as you get to figure out something new.

Those are great splits, I just couldn't help giving it another go after seeing those :sly:

24.173
49.224

Both splits are PB's, final sector was ~0.19 down on my best though :indiff:

I think my PB 2nd sector was just in the 24s but then I messed up the last corner, I can't quite match your T1 but at the moment I'm really happy with the lap as a whole as it includes a T3 which is 0.1 up on my previous best. From the actual run I'm sure my split 2 time was roughly the same as the one you've posted but the replay disagrees with me. Already looking forward to how the results will turn out on this event.

Sorry, I wasn't satisfied with my last sector so I kept running :P

24.181
49.157

And I got close enough to my last sector PB so I'm leaving this alone for a while :crazy:
