  • Red and White Rumble Strips and Tarmac are Track Surface. No other surfaces are track.

Steward's Comments:

Testing teaches us time after time that some combos sound great but are terrible, and others shouldn't work but are excellent. This one is type B, and we can't have enough of it. Enjoy!

Saving Replays, Viewing sector times and Submissions:
  • You need to make sure you use the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below).
  • Before saving your replay ensure that you continue running after completing your fast lap until at least the end of first sector. This will ensure you have a complete replay.
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Library' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replays' option.
  • While viewing your Replay, enter the live timing screen to view your sector splits. You will need to do this after your car has passed the sector markers to see it listed.
  • Simply post the splits that are shown in the live timing screen, and our Fetchbot will parse them and add them together for your total sector time.
  • When saving your fastest lap replay please ensure that you watch the replay to the end and that it displays your full lap time. Any replays submitted that do not show the posted lap time will result in a DQ.
  • Remember - When you submit your time you're also declaring that your run is 100% clean. We request replays for the purpose of verifying to all those concerned that the drivers claim is correct, which in turn safeguards the integrity of the driver, and just as importantly, the WRS. The golden rule is to check your replay before submission. If you’re still unsure, check it again, ask for a second opinion and if you’re still undecided, run the lap again.

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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:
  • Division winners and overperformers will be required to submit a replay via the GT Sport Share function for verification AFTER Unofficial Results have been posted.
  • Participants will be expected to check each others' replays for cleanliness, for replays marked in the Results thread as (Replay Verify Required).
  • Video/Youtube/Twitch replays are not accepted as a form of verification.

Good luck,
:gtplanet: & The WRS team.
 
Openers. I am off work this week, but flying out Thursday and not returning until deadline day. Will try and get something submittable before I leave.

I am sure this leaves a lot on the table, not my best circuit.

But the combo was surprisingly good on Friday when testing.

I think I drove just about every N500 and N600. Makes no sense this would be the best one, but it is.
 
Love this combo!
This has got to be one of the best tracks ever designed hasn't it?
I think any of the old school tracks built into the natural landscape are among the best. A couple we don't yet have that spring to mind are Spa Francorchamps and Laguna Seca.

This track, much like other European circuits such as Spa and Hockenheim, has changed dramatically in layout with multiple renovations over the years.

It seems they have done a reasonable job of modernizing the track and making it safer, while leaving in place much of the unique nature and challenge that comes with the landscape.

This is a fun combo and already had a Dodge in my garage so no excuse to not give this a crack!

I've got quite a bit of time to find, and only sector 3 was a PB with this lap, but as it was a clean that and it's within a second per sector of @EDK time then I consider it worthy!

Couple of tangents... I saw you at a suzuka daily race last night @SuperMegaGeek, I finished 4th in the end and you 5th but I had a mare and clipped someone on the last lap getting back on the racing line after overtaking them for 3rd place, and I got a penalty to bring me from 3rd to 4th. I hope that wasn't you I clipped, I didn't see what happened behind me and I don't know who was in 3rd at the time so if it was you I am SuperMegaSorry as it cost you a place!

Also I think I'm meant to have my division placement now aren't I as I've done 3 rounds?

Times for my first go on this one are:

26.292
45.346
 
@Matt Jones no don't worry sir, didn't clip me. In fact I did well that race. Started 11th or 12th and ended up 5th or 6th (can't remember). I did see someone come off the track and go to the shadow realm (ghosted) towards the end of the race. I think I was a fair way behind you when crossing the line though. Love that track.
Psn and I'll add you?
 
I think I know the answer but just to be clear. A few corners the curbs ends ends with a white part that is arrow shaped. I assume it is part of the curb. Kevin can you clarify it?

First photo is the exit curb of the first corner. If the right tyre is on the tarmac before the arrow shaped white part ends your good?

Second photo just at the line of T2. In this image it's clean?

Did a few laps and I noticed it's very easy to dip a wheel too much over the curb.

I don't know, hopefully this will change as I put in some laps this week, but this is a track I've always felt was all work and no play.

First one, you are right. The arrow shaped is part of the rumble strip and you just need to make it back before it ends. The painted section is not track.

Second one, white line is not an issue, you can be right of it there. I know it helps set you up of you do it right, but seems it's more related to how the short track comes in there.

Bottom line, just the painted tarmac that's not rumble strip such as the green, yellow, and red/white over run past rumbles are this week's issues for OB.
 
Is this dirty or is it just safe?

Well I had a few like that that ended up being best.. but I just discarded them and started fresh sessions. It's hard this track with this understeer monster.
I even tried no abs for over an hour trying to slide in every entry, when you get it right it's super fast, but as soon as you overdo it the lap is dead..
Turned ABS back on

this second sector and the last sector were not fast but at least I'm confident the lap is clean and I will submit this one.

We were looking for a roadcar supercar that worked, and did not have ridiculously long braking zones. Drove mostly N500 and N600 cars.

Go drive some of the others and then come back and let us know what you think of this one. ;)

I believe you, and it's a great car. I mean usually a rwd car that understeers when you put your foot back in is going to be a fast one in my experience.
Maybe it sounded like I was complaining, but I didn't mean it like that.
Merely an observation that it was indeed a challenge to keep it inbound all around the track while pushing it.
As I said earlier, this track feels to me like all work and no play, long straights then huge braking and messed up hairpins, even the esses section have no flow that you can just ease yourself into. But I find it interesting and spent a long time fighting it today, it's a great combo!
