Congratulations to TA for the overall win. 👍
Some great times at the top of D1, nice battle guys.
Well done to all the podiums this week, it was a hard one.
 
Just viewed Kevin's replay, 100% clean and green, don't think it was even close at 130R. I used the chase cam and used backward-facing camera. It didn't even look like the outer wheels were on the rumble strip but both still on the tarmac.
Phew, that takes a load of my back ... sorry for the allegation but I just wasn't sure. Thanks Maz!

I also viewed Crazytortise's lap. Both of which were very impressive and in places superb. Kevin I thought your turn 1 and hairpin were fantastic and CT your throttle control through the esses and exit of spoon was brilliant.

So in conclusion...

Thanks Maz, for checking my replay. 👍 I didn't think it was close enough to need a picture, so thanks for saving me the time of taking one tonight. ;)

Based on your feedback, I'm guessing if CT and I combined efforts, we might have had a D1 lap. :dopey:

:cheers:

Thanks for the kind words Maz :cheers: and thanks for checking my replay. Worked really hard on this combo and know I could have got my sub 17 but got frustrated and gave up :indiff: Should never give up until the very end though.
 
*Gulp*...I didn't realize just how close my lap was to being dirty until inspecting it much closer when I was going for the upload.

I decided I would save the stewards the trouble and do some freeze framing myself, as there has been way too many dirty laps submitted of late. Next time I'll have to examine my lap a little closer before submitting my time...as this was a bit too close for comfort :scared: This lap was a bit odd, as it was rather sloppy in terms of my line and putting wheels off...which I really hadn't been doing so much before with this combo :rolleyes: So I'd like to apologize for that :nervous:

Anyway, after doing some freeze framing it looks like I was clean at Degner 1 by a tire width at the front of the car and clean by 1-2 tire widths in the rear. When watching the replay in motion I found it quite hard to tell if it was clean, as you clip the apex so quickly at such a high rate of speed, the car is rotating slightly through there, and there was also a bit of dust that was thrown up from the inside tires.

Here are the frames:

I also cut it a bit close at the last chicane in T3, specifically at the last apex as you switch back left to make the exit toward the finish line (if that makes sense 💡). I didn't bother taking any pictures of this one, as it is a bit hard to tell where the apex is in that corner using a single frame. I'm 99% certain I'm clean through there though, as from what I saw I have at least two wheels riding the curbing at all times. Anyways, if stewards feel the need to further review the replay using their procedures, by all means you are more than welcome...I only want to take the win if it is fair and square 👍

Here's my replay

Thanks for the pictures, Brock. They helped establish your line through the corners, and the spots in question looked clean, even at full speed.

I chased your ghost around to Degner 1 to freeze is as well, and I'm confident you are clean there.

No problems on the exit to Casio, your line looks just like mine, and the other replay I checked.

I checked GTP_Hyperspeed's lap as well. Nice run in your Rosso Dino 512, Dan. Clean and Green. 👍

Without a doubt 👍

The thing that sticks out in my memory was your entry to degner 1, it was in the low 80s mph range. I had been taking that in the mid 90mph range (96mph on occasion) and I think there was a tenth or two in it for you there 👍

*Gulp*...I didn't realize just how close my lap was to being dirty until inspecting it much closer when I was going for the upload.

Bloody hell, I logged in a bit drowsy this morning and saw stills of your lap and this quote from you thinking another D1 win was going the way of the DQ :lol: But no, your stills look 100% clean mate, good job :cheers:

All the best
Maz
 
- take a peak at EDK's avatar and I think you'll figure it out. :)

Ha, I was looking at the wrong avatar:dunce:-figured seeing as you brought it up, I'd go with your home team.:D

Pittsburgh Steelers? Even though I live in SA we do get some NFL on ESPN :lol:

We got a fair bit of coverage, well, 1 full game, highlights of 3 others and all the scores, in the 80's and 90's (Kerry Packer liked his sport :cheers: Kerry)
Just not too sure about the 70's :lol:I was still watching TV in B&W
 
Replay attached, sorry for the delay, not been a great week here so far :(

Neil - Your driving really continues to improve. You were smooth and controlled throughout the whole lap. A really nice clean run, and in my favorite color. :D

Andy - Can tell you still know the lines and braking points. The controller (As opposed to wheel) holds you back some on car control, but a nice run and a respectable D4 time. 👍

Steven - As you said, your replay was not in ghost format. No close spots that needed to be checked with ghost, etc. But please be careful in the future, and submit the proper ghost replay. If a spot is too close to call with a full replay, we might have to DQ.

Well done to all participants, a difficult week, but all Green Flags. 👍 👍 👍

:scared:

I know and I hope it never happens again.

I do drive with a wheel for a few weeks now :P. But it still needs some getting used too. And I'm finding GT5P very difficult (and therefore frustrating :P), sometimes (especially this week) I have the feeling that I'm driving on ice in stead of on tarmac. GT4 used to be much easier. In my opinion, GT4 was more about driving a good line, now it's more about controlling the car. But hopefully I will get more competitive back again. In GT4 we were very close for some time. And now you are way up there, and i'm more way down here then ever ;)
