I noticed on the leaderboards that I am not on the overall podium like this thread suggests, where did the american come from
That would be #575.
I see your 5th on the leaderboard..
Great time just the same, Plato. 👍
And congrats to all this weeks other division winners and podiums as well.
Great time Josh!!

I guess checking replays this week should be focused on wall touches, mostly, right? Don't have to check for tires, upgrades (arcade mode), but maybe watch out for SRF? Any tips on how to spot that?
These guys were all clean with no real wall brushes to speak of, and no, I'm not asking about SRF with respect to you 3.
GTP_Apollo33 - 1'37.169 -
GTP_pyxen - 1'39.026 -
GTP_dsgerbc - 1'36.545 -
Amazing smoothness and lack of tire smoke!
Thanks G! Now I just have to translate smooth into quick!

Hey guys. Well done to everyone who had a go at this one this week and all the placegetters (is that a word??). i know how frustrating this week was.
Here is my PAL replay for those who want to see it. thankyou in advance to whoever verifies it.
Josh.
Any chance someone can capture it for youtube? I'd love to see it, but am NTSC-bound.

I believe he is referring to to GTP_cooljeffro who pushed him off the podium and is not listed anywhere in the first unofficial results post.
I'm not sure if it got skipped or if its not working (if it's not let me know) but if one of you NTSC guys want to check my lap I'd appreciate it. The replay is back on page 2. 👍

ok, second try on my replay, I think I know what I did wrong now. please let me know if it doesn't work.... scary that I designed the system that control our power grid for the surrounding 7 counties but can't upload a replay....

Tricky call, but after getting second opinions that agree I am sure this needs to be flagged.

Car hits invisible wall in the second curve, at 0'17.
There is an invisible wall from the curb and up, so it is not possible to actually hit the barriers (never noticed, just checked). So it is not possible to see the impact, the car looks clear from the barrier.
But you can clearly hear it in cockpit view and bumper mode, and see the speed drop in data logger.
I did not know there was an invisible wall, I really felt nothing at that time

Thats a fantastic lap to watch, I was wondering if the corner before the tunnel would have been quicker in 3rd gear instead of down shifting. This replay explains it. The last corner in T2 that he takes in 4th, every time I tried to go out wide onto the rumble strip to try to gain more exit speed I struggled to get the car around the corner. I found using the curb it seemed to straighten up the car, maybe thats why he took it in 4th gear.
Great lap Josh, learned from it:tup:

ChaddingtonB (GTP_lwh)The lap was clean but it doesn't look like it was run using your GTP tagged psn. Not sure what the ruling on that should be?
Thanks so much for the verification! I was 99% sure but it was my first week and still anxiously waiting the green flag. Thanks again to the admin and the gtplanet community fir making this possible. I look forward to all the WRS in the future.

Any news on this, not sure where he came from either but would like to know if it is just a mistake on the leaderboards, thanks in advance 👍

I came to learn and improve by joining the WRS but after getting 'smoked' that bad I think I might be in over my head. I'm staying though, it cost me money now, had to buy a flash drive! Week 7 isn't looking much better.
Sorry to whoever has to sit through my slow replay!

Is this your first time playing a race sim, meaning have you not been playing race sims long, if this is the case it takes months of practice to learn how to drive and put down times people put down week in week out. You can learn a lot from watching peoples laps from division 1, it goes a long way to understanding where you can improve your times. I learn't this week the reason I was a lot slower than GTP_Joshmuggo, I was down shifting in corners I didn't need to. Maybe watching them could help you, just a suggestion. 👍

Keep trying. I didn't look at your time but trust me, no one will look down on you for trying your hardest. You will improve week in and week out and see your name move up the boards. I have seen improvement in my driving since I started. This weeks TT is evidence of that, as I spent a lot of time on Grand Tour Eiger race on my main profile back in December. My time is over a second faster than what I did then.
One thing that I have learned from the top guys through this and GT Academy is only get on the gas exiting a corner when you know you can hold the throttle. It kills times to get on the gas then have to let up again and then get on the gas again.
