Steward's Comments:
Back to Tsukuba for the first time on GT6, and with the first Handicap event since Prologue! Handicap events have a long history in WRS. The first I remember participating in was this one, just my 13th WRS, over 7 years ago. :eek: And another fond one is the first WRS race I ever posted, Week 51 of Prologue. These events are great fun. Keep in mind, the outcome will not count toward division advancement. But you could notch your first overall WRS win, with an advantage over the higher divisions. Dig in, and have fun. :D

Oh, and about the title. The Toyota Altezza was introduced in Japan prior to the introduction of the Lexus brand (And the Lexus IS Model name this car is now sold under). Its notorious trademark taillights even have their own wiki page. :lol:

:cheers: And Merry Christmas!
ORL Team :gtplanet:


Viewing your T1 & T2 Time Splits:
  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below)
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Gallery' option.
  • Live timing monitor does not work properly, so we have to use a small trick to view splits.
  • While viewing your Replay, pause the lap by hitting start, before the end of the first sector.
  • While keeping the replay paused, advance the replay, using the forward arrow on the replay HUD. This will advance the replay to the end of the first sector. That's your T1 split, write it down.
  • Advance the replay again. That will show the lap to date time on the screen, this is your first and second sector time, added together.
  • To post your T1 & T2 Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual T2 split time, the Fetchbot will do that for you.

Standard Clean OLR Rules:
  • At Least 2 Tires must be in contact with track at all times.

    • 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

Thread rules:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on IM services or via other private conversation methods):

  • Total Lap Time
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total laptime

The following information can be discussed in this thread :

  • The first 2 splits: T1 & T2 times
  • Any settings discussion


Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 50 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):

  • Then attach your 'Best Lap'/'Ghost' replay in zip file form. Everyone submits a replay instead of listing a lap time.
  • You will need to put something in the message body in order to begin a conversation. It doesn't matter what you put, it can even be 1 letter or symbol. Nobody but the Fetchbot is going to see it, so it's sort of pointless, anyhow.
  • You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error.
  • 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 XX Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • If you want to submit multiple times in the week that is still not a problem. Just reply to the conversation with your new time and new replay. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • See this screenshot as an example on how to submit:



  • The deadline is Monday, January 5th 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:

  • Everyone is required to submit a replay for verification. This happens when you submit to the Fetchbot, and the replays will be visible in the leaderboard, once we've reached the event deadline
  • Participants will be expected to check each others' replays for cleanliness, for replays marked in the Results thread as (Check Needed)
  • Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Good luck, :gtplanet:

Merry Christmas, WRSers, this is my present to all of you. 👍

A couple of quick notes -

Rookies who are unsure which division settings to use should contact the WRS admins by Conversation (PM).

Participants need to be personally responsible for their own HP settings, the Fetchbot will not catch them at submission (Since we can only give him one set of settings to use). However, the admin team will still be checking HP of ALL submissions manually after the final event deadline, and will DQ any drivers who do not have the correct setting for their division.

Let's get this party started.

D2 power of 85%, BB 1/3.
 
Quick question - What happens if we get promoted on Monday? Specifically, what if, for some reason, our final submission to Fetchy is before Vaxen posts the promotions?

Anyone who gets promoted or placed in a division on Monday will need to submit with that new division's specs. I'm looking at you @CoachMK21. ;)

Thanks for the gift, Kev, sorry I didn't get you anything. :D

Right, so that can't happen. ;)

Are you gone from the 29th through the 5th?

I thought I'm D3. 💡

Yes, you are D3. I just was curious what you meant by "Bona Fide", whether that meant you ran them using the assigned power, or not. And the reason I asked was to make sure everyone realizes they do not have a choice in this. Even if they use less power than allowed for their division, they will be DQ'd. It's required to use the assigned HP for their division.

Anyhow, all of that to say - Merry Christmas. 👍

Nope; I just wanted to know if I should wait until Tuesday to start. I guess so. :sly:

Merry Christmas.
 
I'm gonna be a bit busy with moving into my new place, while this one is running so I might have a little Bash at it in the morning
