Steward's Comments:
Back to Monaco this week, and a tribute to the Grand Prix racers of the 1960's. This car is a really great fit here, as you might imagine. Have fun!

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 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 7 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 body: "get entry"
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the body of "remove entry".
  • 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, March 10th 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:

What the... I've already done this exact combo before! Except the car was fully modded with a setup and the lap was uploaded to YouTube a while ago. Should I remove the video for the purpose of this event, or what? :confused:

Well this car fully modded will be different to the car stock.

Yeah like Oink said, you shouldn't have to be required to removing it. Great driving there though!

I was surprised at the slight hairy moment in the tunnel, I've never had that happen to me. Looked nice though!
 
Been a few tenths faster already in sector 1, but still got work to do in sector 2, its a bit wobbly. Some splits for the board though:

27.416
1:12.116
 
Can we adjust Brake Balance on this, or is that considered tuning?
Thanks
You can ALWAYS adjust brake balance.

EDIT: First splits. After I got this lap I went and did a huge burnout in celebration. :)

27.085
71.868


I always suck at sector 2s.

27.542

Since your T2 time looked like a full-lap time, I've deleted it. Feel free to re-post the correct splits.

Hmmm.....loving the fact the event is at Monaco as I have always had a soft spot for this beautiful city but I am not very good with the Rocket :nervous:. Am still sure I will put in plenty of time though as running these Time Trials has become my latest addiction (1200+ miles with the Elise, 500+ miles with the Focus etc).
 
Umm, default power on my Rocket shows 165 BHP rather than 174 as mentioned in the op. Changed the oil for it to give 174. Legal yea?
Yes, change your oil. 👍 That and brake balance changes will be a given every week. :)

This car feels just right!
:drool: A new time to chase. :bowdown:

Anyway, found 3 tenths:

27.028
71.562

BB 5/4, but I haven't really messed with this yet so I'm not sure if it's good or not. It certainly feels good. :D
