Many thanks for checking.
I ran off-line so my replay doesn't show my PSN - it is still in the replay file somewhere and Fetchy can still verify it when submitting.Congratulations to all podium finishers, especially Chris for the overall win, Mike for getting a D1 time and both of you for the nice negative handicaps!
Very happy with my negative handicap, I worked hard for that one! Thank you Chris for the great combo and Vaxen for the results
Thanks guys
It did feel good to get the win but I think this was just a blip and rally may be the only thing I'm still that fast at in GT6. I did love the way this little bugger behaved in the dirt and I just had a good feel for where the traction was. My 'perfect' lap would've been a good bit faster but it was tricky enough getting 2 good sectors together, never mind three!
I'm going to have to step in on this one I'm afraid. In some cases, where there is an invisible wall, the data logger is useful for verifying contact. Not so if it's a visible barrier that doesn't generate a collision sound or cause a speed drop, as in this case. This is an instance where visual verification is everything and also an example of why we have this rule
The first shows the bumper touching the fence post and the second is the smoking gun that shows that the wheel must also have passed 'through' the post. Ergo its dirty, I'm afraid and also a clear example of a lap that cannot be said to be guaranteed 100% clean. Its a DQ I'm sad to say

To all: I'm sorry to make an example but we can't stress enough that cutting it this fine is not acceptable in the WRS. We are a fun, friendly and fair competition and the point of our rules is to ensure ease of verification. It isn't about finding those last fractions by cutting everything so fine that someone has to spend too much time to verify it. Imagine if everyone did that?

There isn't. I tried to edit the file that lists the folder the replay is supposed to be in, and that didn't work.

@RodrigoDLL: I thought you were able to correct yourself throughout your lap really well
Thanks for verifying, i was actually mildly worried (i think just due to the nature of it being my first TT) but then i watched other laps that were clean, and realised you can get closer to things than i thought.... i guess that teaches to test the limits more.I'm still keen to get an idea on how to improve in the dirt so I've checked a bunch more replays (can you tell I'm a school teacher and on holidays at the moment

It's interesting to see that almost everyone who got under 1'11.6xx went really low near the bottom fence after the hairpin following T1 and got a good run up through the chicane...it never occurred to me to get that low on the track...I guess it highlights the need to experiment with different lines.
@GTPGhost: Really a beautiful lap to watch, like watching Vagabond's lap, you guys make it look easy!
@BionicDerp: The angles you held in the corners was like watching a proper rally event, great car control.
@smialas86: Fairly close call on the second to last corner but it was definitely clean
@r0msii: A Couple of close corners but it was clean, particularly nice line through the chicane
@Bertracer: Super clean lap, very easy to check!
@RodrigoDLL: I thought you were able to correct yourself throughout your lap really well
@deaconblues82: I liked your choice of car colour, looked nice in the sun
So I think there are two left, Napalm and Eggstor, I downloaded them but they both had Replay001 like a few others...there's probably a way to change the replay number so as not to get a double up but I'll let someone else check those. Nice work folks 👍
Thanks for checking.Last two as clean as a clean lap can be:
Napalm_LT
GTP_Eggstor
Something wrong with the flag icon or is it just me?
Thanks for checking. Yes I find that continuing without resetting a dirty lap gives me the oppotunity to excersise t3 at a slower pase and witout the selfimpossed pressure.Awesome work folks, I just couldn't work out how to drive on dirt so I've just checked a bunch of replays to try and learn how it all works:

@Friday_GTRP : You were super close on the corner just after T2 (see photo below) but the data logger looks clean so I'm confident enough to call it clean 👍
@Argon : Really nice looking lap, didn't even come that close to barriers. I'm also curious how you and @Vagabond changed the picture on your replay file?
@LeftyWright69 : Nice lap, particularly thought you took the chicane beautifully!
@Andy 0 : Some close calls but it's clean, nice choice of car colour too
@Tuesday_Black : Some close calls but it was definitely clean, last corner in particular was really nice!
@Vagabond : Unbelievably perfect lap, you make it look so easy?!? The only query I have is that your replay doesn't have a username attached to it?!? It has your driver name of V. Bond but nothing else?
@Cats_PJs : I know yours didn't need checking but I was checking them anyway. Did you find the windscreen wipers useful
@NielsG : Nice lap, particularly impressed that you kept traction at angles I could never keep traction 👍
@The Boss69 : Nice work, did you really do 43 laps back to back as well?!? Far out, I restart WAAAAY too much it would seem
Again, well done folks, I'm super-impressed at how much fine control you guys can muster in the dirt 👍 I thought I'd leave you with a picture of how @Vagabond actually won...by burrowing under the track:
Given the deadline is 5pm Monday for me, I've only gotten to do them when Monday's a holiday.
