Important notices:
To streamline the WRS administration process, all required replays for this race must be submitted within 7 days. This thread will be listed as "Provisional" and will become "Official" once all posted replays have been verified. After 7 days, all drivers who fail to provide a requested replay will have their lap disqualified. (Beware: disqualification isn't taken lightly within the WRS.)
Drivers who do not have a submitted lap posted in the results are not to post any information related to a laptime they might have achieved in the results thread. Any such posts will have the times removed.

Replay Verification Requests:
This week we would like to see replays for all indicated results. All replays are to be posted here.

Replay Checking:

1. It is customary for all participants of the WRS to verify each others submitted replays
2. Once you have checked the replay, post in this thread to say that you have checked it and whether it's clean, dirty or doesn't meet the required race specifications
3. When verifying a replay, check against this weeks race specification, check that the tyres are the correct compound and that the power and weight is correct for example
4. If you are unsure about a replay, always seek a second opinion before posting

 

[ConRollins]

Great race all. Wasn't quite sure my T4 would hold up given my track record and all, but it looks as though it did.

Congrats to all podium winners (insert National Anthems here).

A special WooHoo to Mitch and Wins both with Div2 Silver times! Great race guys.

Manu is such a hard guy to beat, I really feel like I accomplished something this time by finishing ahead of him. And to Lucas, it was great fun seesawing back and forth for the DIV 2 spot. You haven't been doing many of these so when you do, it's fun competing with you.

Even though I finished in DIV1 bronze time, I am still so amazed at all you guys in DIV1. I didn't miss many apexes on this run and still wasn't even close to matching you guys. And thanks for the setups Chris, Praiano, and Barron. I tried them all and think I ended up with a little of each on the car. Maybe Kevin can look at it and give us percentages.

A good turnout this week, let's hope it keeps up. Only 4 guys didn't post a final time. Not too bad.

Again, congrats to all who achieved their goals on this one. I really had a blast.

Enough rattling, here's my replay:

Almost forgot. Here's the pic of the painted car. It's important to like the car, karma and all that...you know!

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

Congratulations to everyone! Great times we had. Special thanks to Baron, Chris and Praiano for the great tunes, and thanks to Chris for the sector 1 video as usual. That video helps out tremendously.

I finished slower than what I wanted. After I started getting in the 26's, I really was striving to get into that 25 second range and never could. I was close when I got into my rhythm but always messed up T3.

Awesome job to spud for representing the DS3 group with a win! Awesome job to Mitch for a great run at the end!

Thanks to all that came out! Replay will be up when I can get home. Was gonna upload it last night, but my mother in law had out laptop.

 

[Mamba]

Not a very good ending for me this week after leading for all but 20 min of it. Nice win Ron 👍 next time I'll try extra hard to get my banzai lap

Nice win Spud especially on DS3 👍 and congrats to all other winners and podiums. This track isn't my fav but I love racing cars on racing tyres, I seem to do good in those. I learned a few tricks in this track from last time which helped a lot, hopefully next time I'll be even faster

Nice combo Kev. really enjoyed it (despite losing D2 at the last minute)

And finally, thanks for the tune Baron, I got about the same time as with my own tune but with yours it was easier to hit my best times more consistently

Best Splits
16.100
26.646
22.688
20.109

1'25.543

Sadly the bumpy nature of this track means it would have been almost impossible to achieve that

[Gravitron]

Great laps all around on this awesome combo. Lots of submitted laps.

Ron --- nice tactics...unexpectedly called into work, and might get a short blast if you made it home in time. I guess you did. 👍 Banzai! Fun fisticuffs throughout the week.
Manu - don't be disappointed, you had a great early lap that I'd given up on reaching. 👍
Lou --- hope the hand is healing, and great podium there.

Spud with the overall win, nice perseverance to come out just ahead of Chris. 👍 DS3 win!

And Chris, thanks much for your tune and sector video, and for detailing how your tune might not be safe over the course of an online race.
In practice tonight, I reduced that huge rear toe to -0.20 and it seemed a great compromise.

Nice to find enough time for negative handicaps.

[Vinal]

Ohh nice, 2nd in handycap results it's about time I put in a decent performance.

Thanks to Chris for his tune, I tweaked it slightly but it was mostly his, I used a lower final gear and slightly less rear aero, trying to get slightly better acceleration I guess, I think I used sightly higher camber and less toe aswell.

Well done everyone. I'll post my replay later on.

 

[GTP_MacGyver]

Hey guys. This was pretty tough for me. When i look to my divison I'm pretty unsatisfied with the result. On the other hand, this was my 1st TT, i just started on Thursday and - most important - i learned a lot and didn't gave up. My Sector4 is really totally crap Maybe i didn't put that much attention to S4. Need to get used to it, that the last sector is hidden til the end. Also i had not really much an idea what S4 time is a good time. Anyways, my lap time isn't that great at all, so not that big matter.

I decided yesterday, 1 hour before deadline, to give it a final go and really managed a last improvement. I did not know what i did there, but the S3 hairpin was really bad imo and my line on the last turn of S3 was also totally bad as well. I missed the mountain-wall on that one by a millimeter - really. After it, i was so confused that i shifted down to 1 for the 1st turn of S4 - great
But anyway - this was my fastest one (with much room for more)

I yesterday already wrote it in the tt-thread. I would like to say a big THANKS to all the people here who make all this possible. It's really great.
And also a BIG thanks to all the guys who share their knowledge and experience, give advice, post videos etc. I really appreciate it. It's a great community

 

[Vagabond]

Gaahh! Leading all week then pipped by a DS3.... Nice (desperado) win Spud. 👍 Maybe I shouldn't have switched to the Corvette and run this to the wire...?

Great battle in D2 - nice win there Ron, well deserved mate. 👍 And crazy last minute dash by Mitch to take D3. 👍

Here's a look at my lap anyway:

​

And replay - I should point out that it does get damned close through turn 1 but I checked it at every frame and the front is always at least 2cm on the rumble. I don't usually like to submit a lap this close but it was fastest by half a tenth and I was out of time:

 

[Lou8ball]

Awesome laps spud and Chris, really impressive times. Congrats to all the podium finishers and division winners.

Nice s4 Ron - great work getting into the 25.7s
Also cargo rat - I think you'll be in d2 before too long

Was a strange week for me - I usually have to spend hours getting up to pace - but I think running so many laps here in past tt's really helped. Cheers gravitron - luckily its more of the outside of my steering thumb - so mainly right turns, and luckily this track is anti-clockwise. (still sounds like a lame injury reading back though lol)

Also @macgyver that's still a good time, getting a d2 silver lap and starting on Thursday is very good - especially for your first event.

 

[GTP_MacGyver]

Also @macgyver that's still a good time, getting a d2 silver lap and starting on Thursday is very good - especially for your first event.

Thanks, it's nice to hear
I really have to learn lot though. The 12 months before GTA 2013 i was nearly not driving at all. And now i just starting do drive with all aids off, except ABS1. So, I am really in a process now.

And besides the results for this TT - I am in general happy, cause - especially yesterday - i improved a lot (found nearly half a second).

I think it's also sometimes depending on the track/car combo. Sometimes its fitting well, sometimes not so much. I guess...

At least, after my nearly D1 Bronze Performance in the Qualifier - this TT put me back to reality
Kind of funny, cause i just spent 600km for the Qualifier - and for the NSX TT i really spent so much more

Ah - and Congrats to all Winners and Division Podiums. Well Done 👍

Well done Spud.

Thanks
Few minutes ago i also found this quotation from G. Berger regarding S. Bellof:
"In this heat i can hardly drive a clean lap and this guy drives two turns in a row and is faster than all the others. And those are not wankers at all, but really good racers such as Stuck and co."

Made me so much laugh
Bellof really was a beast on track!

Nice job everyone, great turnout this week.

Excellent job Spud, edging out Chris for the win, with a ds3 no less. Really good times across the board.

Getting used to not submitting a replay, but I guess that's what happens when you are battling aliens.

Congrats to winners and podium finishers. Quite happy with my negative handicap considering I spent only parts of Sunday on this (might have started on Saturday night, don't remember).

Thank you all who have shared tunes, videos and advice. And thank you Kevin and Vaxen!

 

[Allibubba99]

I struggled with this one. I will have to study a couple of replays to see where I was making mistakes! Congrats all!!!

Just wanted to stop by since I have a minute now and say congrats to everyone on a job well done. Big props to Spud for taking the win, on a DS3 no less. Above alien status for sure. Big thanks to you Brandon for making things interesting this week. You really made me work for this one but I guess this is my week to say, "Don't mess with the bull mister, or you'll get the horns." After looking at the full sector breakdown, turns out my last sector really was magic as it was the second fastest. I must say that I am really proud of that considering the company I'm in. Big thanks to Chris also for his sector 1 vid and tips on how to get through it. I never would have tried flat footing it through there if it wasn't for you bud. 👍 Anyways, off to the next one. See everyone at Laguna. Peace.

@CargoRat
Your last sector was magic for sure
I'm reading on the planet for nearly 2 years now - and i also read a lot of your posts in the past Mitch. And - honestly - when i 'see' (read) how much passion (and i guess nerves) you put into your driving, into the game - it really made me smile yesterday when i saw your last sector time. Even it meant that you overtook me

See you guys after Laguna - this Combo there is too weird for me

Awe, thanks man for the kind words, appreciate it very much. 👍 Really means a lot when my peers compliment me like that. And yes, a lot of passion goes into what I do here each week. I've always said that I may not be the most skilled, but I will put my heart and determination up against anyone's. Not saying that everyone else doesn't put in a 100% effort, but I will always take it to the next level and do whatever I possibly can (within the rules and regulations of course) to get the results I'm after. I have played through pain, blood, sweat, and tears and will continue to do so for as long as I can in order to reach the ultimate goal in which I have set for myself. Thanks again for the kind words, you really kind of made my day with your post.

Congratulations to all winners and podiums.

Had to much to do the week to give it enough time, so unluckily bad run with positive handicap.

 

[Spud_Skills]

Well this week was a tough one! Plenty of adjustments with the tuning and eventually found one that suited me, and put in a couple of hundred miles after that to hit my time. Was a pretty good turnout, great effort from everyone this week. I'll try and get round to uploading my replay after work. See you at Laguna!

 

[Spud_Skills]

Uploaded my replay, but the file size doesn't seem right. What have I done wrong?

EDIT: Ok I've uploaded it again, looks like there were 2 replays in the folder

Thank you all who have shared tunes, videos and advice. And thank you Kevin and Vaxen!

Here is my NTSC replay.
