Named : Annoying !

And that is "ANY CAR" as in "ANY" car - Race cars, rally cars, as long as we're above 2.6 ?....

And where's the grass on SSR5 ?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Can we move it down from 2.6 to 2.56

 

[rollazn]

Blah. Races like this don't really do it for me. I like races where we have a few selection or only one selection of cars but I will do this. Hopefully I can catch up with Darin this time.

 

[DQuaN]

My PS2 is on the blink I'll see what I can do, I like these ones.

Time submitted. No time for this this week so hopped in the Sprinter Trueno GT-Apex SS(J) and went for a pint of milk. P/W: 3.807. No sticky tires or anything like that. Sweet E-brake 540 around the hairpin, and the obligatory backward crossing of the finish line.

So the early lead is taken at:

40.727
1'21.136.

See you all next week

 

[eggmann]

I'm not going to be around for this week or next. I'm going to DisneyWorld, and then to GT3mich's house.
Good luck everyone!

This one will be fun. This is the type of race I like and do well with. Already got a few ideas. I may run a car not for time but for ****s and giggles....there are a handful of cars that are super fun on the wet, all FR too and grossly overpowered!

I will make time for this one.

 

[Flerbizky]

First clean T2 (in a legal car, watch those oil changes) 53.2....

Did anyone invite the drifters this week, they should have a blast with this combo

 

[Darin]

I'll see what I can roll out in my garage.

 

[daan]

51.9 so far. My car is well over the 2.6, but I like it so I'm sticking with it.

 

[Sphinx]

I'll give this one a miss me thinks. I have an urge for GT4P this week

Nope - very very cool !.... Just an idea though, if you rename the main file to eg. wrs.htm, one can just keep a toolbar shortcut for instant access, and won't have to redo the shortcut each week... Then maybe add a link to earlier weeks at the page - but that's just me nit-picking..

I LIKE IT

 

[rollazn]

I don't know if I have enough time to do this. I have to do school **** too, so I may have to miss out on this race.

I like that leaderboard. I especially like the fact that my name is at the top of it (Although by the time you read this, it may not be)

 

[GT3mich]

T2/ 51.876 so far after about 15 miles.

 

[TriplePlay]

Hey guys! I'm new here to the WRS so you gotta help me out. What are you guys talking about when you say t2/51.876? The best lap I can manage (so far) is a BLADEEBLAH with the aston martin. GoKents hasn't pm'd me back yet though. I'm planning on doing this one. Almost done with GT, only a few races to go. GL to all!

 

[tuff240]

T2 is your sector times.
Each track is divided into 2 or 3 sections. The section times (aka "T1", "T2" and "T3") are the times from the starting line to that point. There is a line across the track at these points and the times come up for a few seconds at the same point then dis-appear. If you can't remember them, they will be available in your replay as well.

We are not aloud to discuss final times, only "T" times.
Please edit your final time out of your previous post asap.

Hope that sheds some light on things for you.

Welcome to the WRS and have fun! 👍

*edit - GT3mich, you were added to the T2 leaderboard.

 

[GT3mich]

New time. T2/ 50.850. There is still more time left out there with this car. I saw a 50.7xx but brushed the wall after T2

[Iceman]

Saw a 49.8xx t2, still a bit to come off. Anyone who would like to know the car, please PM me and I will be more than happy to tell you. Great job on the leaderboard tuff 👍.

 

[scuderia229]

26.992 / 50.344

dead clean....still alot of time out there with the car, haven't tuned the gears yet...

This one is fun, thought I do MUCH prefer SS5 the normal way, not reverse.

 

[GT3mich]

Final time from me tonight. T2 48.739

 

[GT3mich]

T2: 49.650

Tuff240. Look up. Thats not 47.650

Tuff240. Look up. Thats not 47.650

Notice that he edited his post.

I cut-n-pasted his time in.

Thanks for looking out for me GT3mich, but I think everyone here needs to be on the look-out for some childish shinanigans instead.

A couple "well respected" members are playing games with a game and series that I really enjoy. Although I may not be very fast, I still try hard to keep up or not be tooo far behind the "immortals".

Thanks for making a mockery of both this series that I enjoy AND my efforts. 👍

Who is making a mockery of this series?
