Steward's Comments:
On a minimal cost play thru I figured this car can be used for Elise Trophy - One Make race. Going for lowest cost tyres (N1/CH) was my intention and it was actually possible to win using those "slide all around " tyres. But for consistent hot lapping the Comfort Softs are much better. Enjoy!

Viewing your T1 - T4 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 - T4 Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual split times, 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 4 splits: T1 , T2 , T3 and T4 times
  • Any settings discussion

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 31 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 Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • 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, August 25th 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

Interesting that +1 and +2 wheels aren't allowed. Has it come out that they're an advantage?

Either way, excellent combo. Will be fun. I like the tire choice.
 
First 10 laps or so. This brings back nice memories of my final qualifying lap in the BMW, which was without a doubt an over-achievement! The fast right-handers on this track are among the best in the game when in a quick car.

19.633
34.466
49.683
1'13.366

Sector 4 was garbage.

Hints:
1.) Lower rear BB to 1 or 2
2.) Don't downshift at high revs, unless you're very very good at car control :)
 
This really is quite a tricky needle-threading exercise :lol:

Came very close to the grass with the outer wheel just before split 4! Got it just right though ;)

19.567
34.634
49.550
1'12.750

There's a few tenths in the early sectors at the very least, finding turns 3 and 4 very hard indeed. The car is not hugely fond of them....
 
20.251
36.085
51.185
1'15.685

Lots of fun to drive. I might put a few miles on the odometer this week. Can't wait for the races too.
 
We should trade sectors Brandon.

You can have the old ones :)

19.417
34.100
49.150
1'12.417

BB 4/1
Sens 0

Between my splits and yours, we are looking for a 1'12.2xx to t4.. i left a tenth in t5 so i'll set my goal for 3 tenths faster than what I got. 👍

Great combo. Car is one of my favorites, probably 111R but this is close. My kind of track.
Lots of time to be found, just something to get on the board
19.896
35.412
50.729
1'15.879
 
Quick run with ds3 on this as combo looks awesome
Will love this one behind the wheel.
Love this track as well. Nice work!

20.250
35.300
50.850
1.15.966
 
Initial splits:

20.167
35.017
50.350
1:14.884

Much more pleasant to drive than last week's combo.
 
First few laps, is very hard to resist the urge to tune when things are adjustable!

19.767
34.883
49.983
