GTP_WRS Week 31 : Official Results

[jimantonic]

PAL Replay

Got a handful of PAL replays to verify tomorrow night.

 

[CSLACR]

How to kill a quarter second off your lap in a pillow of smoke...

I still don't know how to take T1 under 28.000

Minus my bad T1's or the tire-smoking burnout beginning T6, and I definitely would have beaten the 52 mark.
Replay below.

 

[Usual Suspect]

Crazy, crazy difficult week

Congratulations to all division and podium winners

Great fight on the D1 front, that alien territory that even after 31 weeks i can´t understand how they do it, and now with our very own D2 Mad "Not last minute" Max who showed,
without a doubt, that he is on the wrong division 👍👍

Aside that, i missed the usual fight with Ash and Jon this week but i take the second place on D2 with a smile

Great fight with Biffy (pity that dirty lap) and i only got my time one hour before the end, but the problem was exactly that - "drive fast and clean" should be the week title.
My excel tells that i could be 7/8 tenth better and that is a lot so i almost gave up

A word for Gravitron and the rest on D3 that every week are on another territory 👍

Thanks Jon, Chris and Jake 👍

Also a big thanks to Kevin, Vaxen and the rest of the WRS team that made all this possible

Heres what I can say.

Besides the exit of the porsche curves, you do for sure drive the rest of the track clean.

Your front tire does catch the white line before you drive off the last yellow square of the yellow and blue rumble on the exit of the porsche curves.

I cant get a pause on the last yellow square to tell with the rear wheel. I got it to pause on the 2nd to last square the blue one only once but you were still inside of the white line and hadnt contacted it yet.

I tried for an hour to verify your lap. I just cant say clean or dirty.

I will try some more again later to try and verify your lap one way or the other for sure.

3---2'52.061---GTP_CSL

Edit: I can independintly verify with my own two eyes you did in fact catch the white line at the end of the rumble with your rear wheel!!! Its clean.

I got smart and started pausing long before the rumble in question and then hitting the pause button hyper fast and i got a pause where your just barely off the end of the rumble but you got so much white line its no doubt clean. I can provide a pictures if neccesary if someone tells me how to post a picture. lol

Trust me, I already went down that road, very hard to catch. Which is why I'd posted the other two pictures I did manage.

If you want to take a picture, go into photo mode from the pause and take a picture (be sure to auto-focus) and then export it from your photo album to hard drive just like a replay.
After that, I use imageshack.com and paste the direct link in between

Well people are going to have to trust me. I just cant take a photo from in tight because its a standard car not a premium so you can see what I see from the views I see it. But I would estimate you catch over 1/4 to about 1/3 of the line right at the very end of the rumble...theres just no doubt you did it clean, its just so hard to catch it at the right time is the only trouble.

 

[CSLACR]

I wouldn't worry to much, 5 views I'm sure others will watch also.👍

 

[Mr P]

Some crazy fast laptimes from the front runners I knew I left loads at the end of the lap but just blown away by how much Well done to the winners from all divisions 👍

Here's my replay if anyone wants to see how to do the last section in slow motion ... I'm sure my problem is that I'm still knocking rust off after a long break from GT and hope to be competitive again soon before I lose interest haha! it's not nice being the D1 back marker 2 weeks on the trot I will definitely work on getting more GT time in the coming weeks, Congrats again to those 51's and 2's 👍

Cheers
Ron.

 

[Vagabond]

It's not nice being the D1 back marker 2 weeks on the trot

I don't see that happening again Ron. You've been going easy on us so far.

Here's my replay video if anyone fancies a look:

 

[Mr P]

Cheers Chris 👍 I just watched your vid and can see where i lost time straight away and also see that I was using the wrong gear on occasion

Sweet lap mate and a nice quality vid also 👍

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Nice Video Chris - I lost count of how many times that bump on the exit of the Dunlop Chican caught me out. Nice run through Tertre Rouge and Arnage, oh and the Porsche curves too (typing while I'm watching the video) 👍

 

[Usual Suspect]

Great lap Chris 👍

It looks so easy

 

[Vagabond]

Thanks guys 👍 Got close on the exit of Terte Rouge - was walking the wire with that one all week. Nasty bump there too if you catch it wrong.

It looks so easy

Haha, certainly didn't feel it mate. I nearly put dents in my wheel going through the Porsche curves, I was gripping it that tight.

 

[MadMax]

Congrats all division winners and podium finishers. 👍

Excellent job Jack (GTP_Jet) and Jonas (GTP_Yanaran) getting in the 51's
For me getting in 51's would have required a small miracle , not to mention just how difficult it was to get a clean lap.

Well done everyone - this week was a real nail biter Great event though Kev so thanks for indulging us. And thanks to Vaxen too for the quick results service 👍

Pekka - outstanding mate and I'm sure it won't be long before you're up in D1 (hopefully )

Looking forward to watching the replays

Thanks Jon , I'm sorry to hear about your lap. Good thing you caught it thought.

Congragulations to Jet and Yanaran and Mad Max for taking the top three positions. You guys drove awesome.

Thanks for the tip in the week 31 thread:

dont give out many more tune secrets, you got a shot at the overall win it looks like not just the D2 podium

and :

The curse lifted in the final hour and my fastest lap on my personal board is clean.

Once I read this it didn't take long to set a new fastest lap on my board.

Well done everyone, especially Jet, way to take us for a run through the finish. 👍 and MadMax, for clearly not belonging in D2 anymore, great lap. 👍

I was hoping my finish would pull me to third, but good finishes throughout the top 5.

It was a close battle for 3rd , you did finish 3rd in D1 afterall 👍

Congrats to Madmax also on the overall podium 👍

Thanks mate.
[offtopic] Everytime I read your username I think of the Buffy vampire-slayer avatar you had some time ago. [/offtopic]

Well done to all those who stuck with this frustrating combo.
Congrats to all podiums, and all those who achieved their target times. 👍 Special congrats to Pekka for his not so far off promotion to D1

Thanks and congrats for the overall win , awesome lap. 👍

I don't participate for a week and max becomes an alien, really great job on 3rd overall mate 👍

Alien , maybe just 1/4 alien. (And by 1/4 I refer to my history of 1/4 mile tuning ect).
It might be the Mad Max -trilogy I watched in the weekend that took me beyond.

Big congrats to Jet for showing us again that D1 gold drivers always seem to find an extra gear in the final section. Stunning time from MadMax, there seems to be something about you + high speed... I'm thinking back to the GVS week where you where faster than anybody through the high speed kink in T1, and now this. 👍

Congrats for the 2nd place Jonas 👍
And thanks for pointing out my occasional moments of ahm.. speed.

Pekka and Dom - damned close guys 👍 Fantastic job both of you and less than a tenth between the 3 of us. Had to be me bringing up the rear though eh...? Great close race anyway, chaps. Pekka, be seeing you in D1 soon I reckon. You've been improving steadily week by week - great job mate

It was really close , couldn't have done it without your advice to add positive rear toe

Crazy, crazy difficult week

Congratulations to all division and podium winners

Great fight on the D1 front, that alien territory that even after 31 weeks i can´t understand how they do it, and now with our very own D2 Mad "Not last minute" Max who showed,
without a doubt, that he is on the wrong division 👍👍

Aside that, i missed the usual fight with Ash and Jon this week but i take the second place on D2 with a smile

It was scary , crazy week. Congrats for the 2nd place in our division 👍
Even thought I was early with splits I only did my fastest lap on the last day.
And knowing that all my fastest laps were dirty I couldn't post splits during the week at all.
Not until monday that is.

Splits from my lap: 28.067 - 26.480 - 17.758 - 18.489 - 26.066 - 27.223 - 27.937

There are 2 places to check with extra care: sector 1 near the red cones , sector 7 near the green bollard.
I know it's a pain , so sorry in advance.

here's my replay:

1---2'52.020---GTP_MadMax86

2---2'53.820---GTP_UsualSuspect

Outstanding laps guys 👍

 

[bojangles]

Well done to all the winners this week.
Here is my PAL replay and thx in advance for checking.

 

[DDiamond]

Visual car specs/time correct............

GTP_McFizzle -

Nice lap, Fizz!

 

[steven]

3---3'02.607---GTP_Steven

You hit 2 bollards in the Esses in sector 1.

No excuses for submitting dirty laps. Perhaps even my 3rd in my 6 year career with GTPlanet ...

Obviously I scrutineered my lap prior to submitting but never saw the bollard flying away. When freezing the image and reversing the view it's very clear tho.

👎 for me.

If possible - Kevin, Dan or Marijn - please withdraw my submitted lap from the board.

 

[Usual Suspect]

2---2'53.820---GTP_UsualSuspect

Thanks for checking Speedy 👍

When do you come back?

 

[MadMax]

1---2'52.020---GTP_MadMax86

Thanks for the check Dan.👍

 

[Speedy6543]

2---3'00.564---GTP_bojangles4

And here's the Podium video. Enjoy

When do you come back?

I'll try and make it back this week.
Maybe not so intensively but I'll try to be competitive.
Look like a fun week in that Volvo.

 

[Gravitron]

I told Tim (WRP001) last night that I'd check his NTSC replay and then completely forgot, while I was out Gettin' Groceries. If no one gets to it in the next 12hrs, I'll do it later when I'm off work. 👍

Would be great to have you back Speedy, the Volvo is pretty fun! 👍
Now to go watch your video!

 

[Seismica]

Some very impressive times here, well done everyone 👍 All i'm saying is, i'm glad I didn't submit, looking how far down the order I would have been

As usual I had replay viewing issues this week, with vipers being the only one out of the six I downloaded, but every little helps!

You're not trying NTSC replays are you? (like mine)

 

[mcfizzle]

I have mixed feelings about my finishing place. Excited to get my first D2 podium, but definitely didn't want to get it through someone else red flagging. Either way, I'm very happy with the time I put up, even though I know I could have ben faster. Next time I will just have to earn my podium.

 

[JetStar]

1---2'51.528---GTP_Jet

Really great lap you did there.👍

Thanks for checking 👍

I'm back at uni now, but I'll be back to WRS in December

 

[jimantonic]

Nope, all PAL replays, I'll just put it down to being me being non compatible with computers, now where's my hammer...

You ran the 3rd quickest Division 2 clean laptime. Same as anybody else who has ever got the Bronze D2 podium in any week of the WRS. Your podium finish is well deserved and you already earned it. Nice Job.👍
