  • The event MUST be run using your registered PSN account.
  • The use of the clutch is strictly prohibited.
  • Use of the Handbrake is Prohibited.
  • No Contact with walls or other objects. Any contact with walls, no matter how minor, will result in a DQ.
  • At Least 2 Tires must be in contact with track at all times (See image below).
    • 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.

Race Specifics (Rules for This Specific Event):
  • Navy Blue 'n White Rumble Strips and Tarmac are Track Surface. No other surfaces are track.
  • No Contact with walls or other objects. Any contact with walls, no matter how minor, will result in a DQ.
  • This will be especially important in the harbor section, exiting the chicane. I don't want a bunch of DQ's from people hitting that wall at the chicane exit.

Steward's Comments:

The time has come to say Sayonara to GT Sport. I personally really enjoyed the early iterations of this game, including the beta. With that said, it's time to say goodbye to the only game of the PS4 console generation. We are doing it in perfect symmetry, with a week numbers 222, and back atg the track we started all of this with on GT Sport. Thanks to all of you who have loyally particiated in WRS, a siers that has quietly made it to 19 consecutive years of continuous operation. Please note the Thurday dealine this time around, we are running this one up until the release date of GT7. It will take us a little bit of time to get the series up and running on the new game. In the meantime, have fun and stay sane. :)

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 youre still unsure, check it again, ask for a second opinion and if youre 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.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 222 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 222 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 222 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 Thursday, March 3rd 2022 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.

Sorry if this seems a silly question but I'm not sure if I can? If I install GTSport on a PS5 will I be able to transfer my save game with all my cars etc and run this event on PS5? If not I will just use the PS4 I just wanted to see if game play or graphics were better on the new console! Thanks for any reply 👍

Frankly Ron, we haven't yet been able to check PS5 stuff, so no idea. Probably better just to run on the PS4...

As far as I know, we have had some participants using the PS5. Certainly in online races.

I'm not sure about the game save data, but since most of the data is actually stored online, I would not be surprised if it just worked.

I don't have a PS4, neither does Javier. Which is the reason our answers may seem inconsistent. But I am of the view that if you can figure it out on PS5, go for it.
 
Thanks Javier and Kev 👍 I went ahead and done the game save transfer from PS4 to PS5 and everything seems to have transferred all cars and progression.. just not the replays and photos etc.. butas long as the game save has gone over and I can share my replay I should be good to go on PS5.. Cant wait to try it :cheers:

Poor first sector but couldn't match the other 2.

This will be my only run on this one so just want to say thanks to the organisers for keeping these going throughout GT Sport, through thick and thin.
These TTs were actually the reason I signed up to GT Planet so looking forward to more fun combos on GT7 :cheers:
 
Shifted to a BB+3 to combat the under steer and beat my previous best by over two seconds. I know there’s still loads in this as I made a mistake changing gear in T1 and went wide o the final hairpin. Not sure I’ll get the time to improve on this though so this might be my final GTSport submission.
