    • 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.

Race Specifics (Rules for This Specific Event):
  • Red and White Rumble Strips, all White Rumble Strips and Tarmac are Track Surface. No other surfaces are track.

  • The Concrete Drains Found at Turn 5 Exit and in Some Other Areas are Not Track.
  • You get it. Rumble Strips. Unpainted Tarmac. That's It.

Steward's Comments:

This one is as good as it sounds. The S2000 is probably my favorite car in the game and then there's Laguna Seca, the first real world track featured in Gran Turismo. Sports Medium so we've got some extra grip. Have fun!

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.

Thread rules:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on Skype or via other private IM service.):
  • Total Lap Time.
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total lap time.
  • If you choose to Share your Best-Lap Replay via GT Sport before the deadline,your full lap time will be considered to be shared publicly which contravenes our rules. Even if you've only shared with Friends.

  • Any settings discussion.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 169 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):
  • Please submit your FULL LAP TIME in the following format on a single line:
    X:XX.XXX
    (Example-) 1:10.100
  • You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error.
  • For those of you who were used to submitting replays on GT6, you no longer have the ability to export the files.
  • 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 169 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 169 Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • If you want to submit multiple times in the week just reply to the conversation with your new time. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • The deadline is Monday, February 22nd 2021 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:
  • 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.
 
Yes definitely addictive
Tough at times to nail every corner on the limit without lumping a kerb

26.632
44.404

First and last sector I was happy with, probably another .2 middle sector and I would be submitting

Identical second split time to last best lap, chances of that

Hello guys,

Got my wheel back today but I think it has been updated. I have the CSL Elite but I don't remember under the BRF setting there being an option to have it set to high. Any ideas if this came in latest firmware guys?

I am really struggling with getting the car to brake since I got the wheel back, would an update for the wheel effect the pedals in any way?

I would love someone to post there wheel settings if they have this wheel for me to try.

Next

I have never done online racing before because I have always used 3rd person, I have been trying to get used to a new view with rear view mirror on screen so that I can see what's happening.

Would anyone be interested in helping me out in a private lobby as I am going to be new to racing but thought it was about time I took the plunge. I was just worried that in 3rd person I wouldn't be able to see what was happening and cause to many accidents.

There may be some braking issues though if anybody wants to sacrifice some time to help me out.

All help will be appreciated

Sorry I had not replied. On the DD wheel, the stock brake force setting is 50.

The other key reco I have is to recalibrate your pedals. On the PC using the Fanatec plugin.

As for online, we normally open a test lobby Sat afternoon in NA time. Likely 9 pm your time tomorrow. Normally friends only, do not recall if I am on your list. If not, send me an invite.

For the record, I race barefoot. ;)

Ok thanks, will send you a friend request tomorrow.

I bit the bullet and tried my first online race today in the lobbies, it didn't go well. Full of rammers and not being rude here but the only lobbies I found were full of people at beginner level that could hardly keep the car on the track.

As for calibrating my pedals I will look into that tomorrow as well, never done it before and not the best with computers. My pedals don't even have the latest firmware which is maybe part of my problem with braking.

The calibration lets you set the range. I suspect the current range is not dialed in.

You had beginners and rammers due to your ratings. If you improve those, you will have better lobbies. Especially the SR.
 
Curse Ye foul sausages!! :crazy:
Great combo but what a sausage party :P
Many fast sectors, many fast but dirty laps :grumpy:
Still several tenths off ideal but at least this lap is clean :dopey:

28.893
44.706
 
27.133
45.147

At least it is better than my Sprinter Trueno time.

Referring to the daily a few months ago? I really enjoyed that one!, was my best result on a daily time trial/qualifying on this game.
Shame there aren't more road car combos.

We had a time trial and race on that one here.
 
Anybody help me with settings at all? I normally race in socks but may try shoes to see if that helps

You'll need the Fanatec Properties thing and not FanLab.. you will unhook the phone cord from your base, USB the pedals to your pc, open the Fanatec Properties program, click your pedals, then click properties.. then select the Manual calibration box, press your
