Steward's Comments:
Another car we have not used yet. This is a nice wide track for this understeery car.

Viewing your T1 & T2 Lap Time Splits:


  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay

  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.
  • While Viewing Your Replay, Choose the "Live Timing Monitor" To View Your Sector Times
  • To post your T1 and T2 Splits, simply post the sector times that are shown in the live timing monitor.
  • The WRS Fetchbot has been updated and will now add your splits together!

Standard Clean OLR Rules:


  • At least two tires in contact with track at all times.

    • In situations where contact with the track is not possible because tires are airborne (above the ground), then the run is only legal if at least two tires in line would have made contact with the track if the car were not airborne.
    • If track contact cannot be 100% determined, then consider it dirty.



    ​
  • Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
  • Runoff areas are not part of the track
  • No contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
  • If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty
  • No hybrids
  • No cheating of any kind,these are relaxed races and we are experienced racers, we know what times can be done,and we can read your mind.We will know.
  • Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules
  • Save your best lap/ghost replay






Thread rules:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on MSN or via other private conversation methods):

  • Any information which can be used to infer laptime




The following information can be discussed in this thread :

The posting of settings is encouraged, but it's certainly not mandatory. We respect anyone wishing not to post settings, so please do not publicly ask someone to post their settings, they will if they want to.

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 118 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):


  • Please submit your time in the following format on a single line:
    Time: X'XX.XXX
    (Example-) Time: 1'10.100
  • Users can ask the bot for the current submitted time by sending a message with the body: "get entry"

Why Use GMT?:

GMT is World Time and the basis of every world time zone which sets the time of day and is at the centre of the time zone map. GMT sets current time or official time around the globe. Most time changes are measured by GMT. Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.

Time verification:

Save your ghost replay and keep it at least a full two weeks after the event's deadline:



  • Racers, named by the OLR Admin staff, (if any) will be required to submit a replay for verification
  • Any submitted time is subject to a time verification request
  • When a time verification has been requested, the concerned racer must provide the correct replay within seven days of the request
  • Failure to do so will result in the removal of the unverified submission from the results table
  • Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification



Good luck, :gtplanet:

Using pad, first 10 laps with brand new car. Terrible gearing attempt :dopey:

Edit: oil change would help. Z

Can't wait to get the wheel out for this :)

Totally awesome combo Kevin. 👍

Spent the first 5 laps wondering what I was doing wrong... Racing Hard tyres. :dunce: So put the correct tyres on and another 5 laps:

24.326
21.597

Plenty to find I think. You will love it with the wheel Matt. :)
 
Any ideas on torque split? I was chucking it right at the rear 80/20 with the controller
 
As ever with 4WD, its a trade off. I've tried everything between 20/80 and 50/50... 50/50 seems to have better turn in, 20/80 seems to give less understeer in the exits but I haven't got a proper setup yet and its harder to tell what effect changes have with these sticky racing tyres. I'm on a compromise 35/65 at the mo.

This is as far as my DS3 exploits go. Had 7s in sector 2 but otherwise this was a decent overall lap with the controller. Now, hopefully I will be quicker immediately with the wheel....:scared:

Don't expect to be faster immediately with the wheel. There is a bit of a learning curve.

68.1 miles on the car. Still trying to get it to turn better, Especially in the big sweeper.

I'm off to find some parity now.
 
I always seem to have trouble with AWD vehicles but look forward to the challenge. Good luck everyone and here's to another fun week. :cheers:
 
Nice one James. 👍 (Not sure why I bother saying that since you always ignore it anyway :sly:)

Went wide going into turn 1 and carried the loss all the way to T1. Best so far 24.028 (1st sector vid coming shortly along with setup)

24.055
21.431

Sector swapping.. up 0.06 at the line.

My setup, might need to tweak things a bit to get much more. I don't quite get sector 1s big right and why I lose a big lump there, but then I never have....nailing that last right hander is essential I know but I still mostly only get low 3s. About 330bhp @ 130 miles or so?

6 tenths quicker with the wheel, but took til lap 10 to beat my controller time!

Edit: 152 miles and only 328bhp, started to lose some and needed 2nd oil change....irritating :(

Good one Matt 👍 I honestly don't know how anyone can still drive with a controller at all... considering I played all the way up to GT4 with one, I now can't even manage a half decent lap with one. :crazy: Got to hand it to the faster DS3 boys, its a different kind of skill.

Ok here's my current fastest 1st sector:

​

And my current setup:

Edit - New splits:

24.056
21.430

Lost a thousandth in sector 1 and then got it back in sector 2 :P Better last sector and up 0.074 on the lap.

T1 is a real bugger.

A bit better T1 but T2 suffered quite a bit. Good to be feeling better.

First splits with a non broken in car:

24.378

Very tricky, this combo. Difficult to not hit the wall with a DS3.
 
Best I can do with my setup:

24.335
21.435

Will give Chris's setup a go and see if that helps.
 
Going to try and put some effort in this week lol

24.546
21.746

Time to find everywhere!

Little bit better...

Tried Chris's set-up and it's not as stable as mine. But stability isn't always the fastest! Thanks Chris, just shaved a 10th off in only a couple of laps. Looking forward to really seeing what it can do for me in a couple of longer sessions down the road. Need to work on the kink, as it doesn’t want to turn as neatly as mine did in that section. It may be my approach; I’ll try a few different lines and see what happens.

Here are my latest splits:
