Race Specifics (Rules for This Specific Event):
  • Solid White Lines denote Track Boundaries, no contact with the walls/curbs.

Steward's Comments:

This car and track are not too fast and will leave you a bit furious at times. Full boost in third gear will bite you if not pointed straight. Give it a few laps and the quirks of this car can be tamed.

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.

  • Users can ask the bot for the current submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week ### Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week ### Remove Entry" and any text in the body.

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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 GT7 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.

Slight error in the coding - the underline tag wasn't closed after the car name near the top of the post.

Edit - That's better.

Well, after more than 30 laps trying to record a clean lap and 10 more trying to get one up on the board which I consider reasonably quick... I failed. Saved the replay and happily jotting down splits and ahh there we go, he clips the wall.

I felt like posting here with some "dos and don'ts", but all I've got are "don'ts"

- Don't allow a soiled lap to be your reference point. Wall contact isn't necessarily slower and it can give you an unrealistic target which could affect your confidence.

- Don't replace a clean, slower lap with a dirty faster one. Seems obvious, but it's so easy to lose track after many attempts in one session and lose your banker.

- Don't let any cool visuals take you out of the zone (thanks @Nebuc72 :lol: ).

Will be trying again, hopefully with some This is very addictive, it's the epitome of what Gran Turismo should be about!
 
25 more laps today and I've got a banker. Two clean laps. Out of 28. :banghead:

Could someone pls post the default setup sheet? I'm sure I haven't touched it but I just want to check.

Try "Add Sheet" it creates a new setting tab that is stock settings.
 
Apologies looks like I put the wrong time for sector 2, though the overall after sector 3 is the same

I use 4th gear only until the long straight leading to t3 and back to 4th for the final turn.
Took ages to get it to speed without grinding the walls all the time. I think all sectors besides t1 are within .05 of my very best times there.
Great fun combo!
Edit: typo :ouch:

Didn't like it at first, but I bit the bullet and it started growing on me.
I use AT so no luxury of staying in one gear, but I think I found the way to compensate with sliding a little.
Many tenths left there still. I'll be back.

Still not thinking too much about using 3rd gear ;) only shifting to 3rd to help getting into turn 1 when I’m a bit late on the brakes there but back to 4th before going on the throttle.
 
More than 150 laps on this one, and I'm probably going to need some kind of surgery in my left wrist.

Finally caught that bleedin' ghost without needing help from the walls (I spotted the lightest of light wall taps on my previous sectors, and I'm not taking any chances).

The big takeaway here was keeping it in 4th through the first sector and then keeping it in 5th for as long as I dared in the second. Sector three and four are fine as long as you're brave enough to keep your eyes open :lol:

Good luck everyone!

Improved more than expected, but still I tried for bigger margins between me and walls/curbs and that slows me down.
Not brave enough to go out full gas.
Even at the final moments of my session I discovered places where braking is not necessary. The characteristic of the car with its rear moving around helps a lot.
Amazing times at the top.
