Steward's Comments:
This combo is Gravitron's brain child. I don't think I've driven the car since GT4, and it's a nice surprise here. The RR drivetrain is not to oversteery, the car has a really nice balance that suits the track. 👍

Viewing your T1 & T2 Time Splits:
  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below)
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Gallery' option.
  • Live timing monitor does not work properly, so we have to use a small trick to view splits.
  • While viewing your Replay, pause the lap by hitting start, before the end of the first sector.
  • While keeping the replay paused, advance the replay, using the forward arrow on the replay HUD. This will advance the replay to the end of the first sector. That's your T1 split, write it down.
  • Advance the replay again. That will show the lap to date time on the screen, this is your first and second sector time, added together.
  • To post your T1 & T2 Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual T2 split time, the Fetchbot will do that for you.

Standard Clean OLR Rules:
  • At Least 2 Tires must be 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.
  • 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

Thread rules:

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

  • Total Lap Time
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total laptime

The following information can be discussed in this thread :

  • The first 2 splits: T1 & T2 times
  • Any settings discussion


Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 24 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):

  • Then attach your 'Best Lap'/'Ghost' replay in zip file form. Everyone submits a replay instead of listing a lap time.
  • You will need to put something in the message body in order to begin a conversation. It doesn't matter what you put, it can even be 1 letter or symbol. Nobody but the Fetchbot is going to see it, so it's sort of pointless, anyhow.
  • You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error.
  • If you have an error, don't panic. Just review the instructions for submission and submit again. If you are having trouble and cannot figure it out, please post your question in the race thread.
  • Users can ask the bot for the current submitted time by sending a message with the body: "get entry"
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the body of "remove entry".
  • If you want to submit multiple times in the week that is still not a problem. Just reply to the conversation with your new time and new replay. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • See this screenshot as an example on how to submit:

  • The deadline is Monday, July 7th 11:59pm GMT
  • If you are unsure of the deadline try this site


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.

Replay Checking:
  • Everyone is required to submit a replay for verification. This happens when you submit to the Fetchbot, and the replays will be visible in the leaderboard, once we've reached the event deadline
  • Participants will be expected to check each others' replays for cleanliness, for replays marked in the Results thread as (Check Needed)
  • Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Good luck, :gtplanet:

This is pretty sweet fun! That tiny car makes this track look so wide!

That final corner is crucial, losing almost 1 second on it to my 2nd fastest ghost where I nailed it but screwed up loads elsewhere.
 
This style combo suits my driving really well:

33.483
57.900

Not really sure how much more I might be able to find...I was pretty happy with all my sectors in this one 👍
 
One of the worst track for me. That kind of cars with comfort tires also not my strong side. So, I think this week is dead for me :(
 
40 mins or so with a new car - be careful not to use the '73 car, or the 'weather' version of the track - and comfort SOFT is the default, so remember to buy the plastickier tyres too :D

33.279
57.629

Haven't been within a tenth of 24.23x in T2, am I missing something!? It's only one right-hander! :)
 
This is good fun.

The downgrade of the tires are spot on Kev 👍

Nope! You're doing fine :lol:i did a late brake, almost ran into the gravel and powered out. Haven't came close to it since :(

I was a little worried about how controller drivers would be inpacted by the tire selection. I guess I needn't have worried. :sly:

And you probably benefit from it in T3. Cos from that corner it's flat out all the way to the last corner. I enter it a bit wider as well. Unfortunatly a bit to wide on this lap.

Quick take a picture while it last :lol:

And that was my 30 minute of fame, thanks :lol:

Nice spilts 👍

Sorry :lol: you're always faster than me, so you'll get me by the end of the week. I don't really gain anytime by going super wide in t2. My speed at the first corner of t3 is always the same.

If it makes you feel better, I got a screenshot for you :P

Looks like a fun combo, I've unfinished business with week 23 but will definitely give this a go. Never actually driven Eiger seriously, I did try an online race with the Audi S1 on comforts once... quite an experience :lol:
 
EDK
Did you attach a rocket to the back of your car for T1, and an anchor for T2?

I've removed the time from the board, assuming you made the mistake @mr_lab_rat noted.

Yes. I'm a rocketman. Sorry. Still had last weeks's t1 in my head and bacon cooking is messing with me.
