Strong car and track this week. This is our first event with AI cars on GT5, please show up.



Viewing your Time Splits:

• You need to make sure you save the 'Save Replay'. This is the only option in this mode.
• To view your best lap replays, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.

Save best lap / ghost replay icon.


Standard Clean OLR Rules:

• At least two tires 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 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
• Runoff areas are not 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
• Save your best lap/ghost replay

Thread rules:

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

Save your ghost replay and keep it at least a full two weeks after the event's deadline:

• Racers, named by the OLR Admin staff, (if any) will be required to submit a replay for verification

• Failure to do so will result in the removal of the unverified submission from the results table
• Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Good luck,
OLR Team

Oooh! Sounds interesting. Hopefully I can find some time for this.

I will be the one to ask the dumb question for clarification: post last lap time, submit entire race time?

I always look forward to the new TT's.

Additionally to Barra333´s questions :

-Your Car Choice May be Discussed this week.
Do we have a choice ?

- Please include in your submission PM your final lap time
Means we have to PM Fetchy the complete race time via the Time command and add the last lap time to Fetchy ?

The car choice line and the PM your final lap time are copy paste errors from last weeks thread.

In order to compete you have to send the total race time of the 5 laps to fetchy.

In the meantime only the last laptime can be discussed here in this thread but it may not give information about the total racetime.

I will edit the OP.👍

I've further clarified the OP. Sorry for the errors, I was in a bit of a rush last night.

Submission is total race time, all laps combined. The last lap is posted here in the thread. In theory, it should be your fastest lap, as it will be run in clean air.

Thanks for the help. 👍

BTW, for all participants. The car likes to be short shifted. With the transmission I had in it, correct shift point was about 8,000 RPM. It makes a significant difference, you should not wind it to red line, and if you are used to using an auto trans, this would be a good week to learn to shift for yourself.

That's odd.

I drove the car on some other seasonal events, and it did not seem different to me in testing.

It is what it is at this point, and everyone is on a level playing field. Not what I would normally like to do for a WRS, but then again, we have AI this week, so can likely use any available advantage.

5 laps, nice. With the PP being so low, I don't think having SRF on will make too much difference.

First race try.

1'46.927

Not sure how too see the exact complete racing time, in the replay time is not stopping when passing the line. And on the replay in the theater is not the time, theres only the finishing position. Any trick for me to learn ?

Live timing monitor works, correct?

If not, you can just grab the times off the HUD in replay.

Directly after race i did not noted the time, but thats the same when checking a replay later on. So you have to see it in the replay. But the the total time which is top right side is not stopping when passing finishline. No idea where to see it otherwise.
One way could be to add the five laptimes, they are displayed in the datamonitor each round in the replay.

That's exactly what you need to do, add the 5 lap times together.

Remember that there are 60 seconds in a minute, not 100. That's a common error when adding lap times.

Something new and challeging 👍 But Kevin you are giving us a lot of work. Not only do we need to drive 5 laps, on top of that we need to make calculations aswell

Another event I'll have to miss due to work, but a great concept Kevin 👍

Ok, thanks, now i got it.
Made a short OpenOffice Calcular File for it, than its fast and easy to add.

Thanks for help.

You can also do this easily with excel it will probably be more accurate just use the time format mm.ss.000 then sum it all up

That was me, intended to be ironic.

This is a wild little car, though.

Bought the car,painted it orange and took it to the track.

Fun combo,

What a fun little car. Excellent choice Kevin. 👍

Motegi just got to me today so decided to give this one a couple of runs... and glad I did. 2 goes at the race so far after a quick shakedown to put a setup on the car:

For gear ratios:
Set Max Speed to 93mph (150kph)
Set ratios as above
Set Final to 3.168

1'31.273

Keep partial throttle through the bends to avoid lift-off over-steer and use every slip-stream you can. Keep foot in when overtaking as well - after a few runs you'll see how the AI responds when you're close and learn how small a gap you can squeeze through.

Nice combo and a good choice for our first AI race event.

Chris. Great points all around. As you get pace going, you can typically catch AI at predictable places, and they normally have a predictable line. The kink is the only place I found to be a lap killer, and once you're past the first couple of laps, that's not much of a risk.

Also keep in mind that the lineup of cars/drivers changes when you re-load the event. If you're having a lot of trouble with the AI, load and try again.

I had a pretty good idea from Friday on that this was the event I wanted to use. The issue I had was finding a car that was at or under the PP limit with all of the unverifiable parts added.

That, and some cars are just terrible when you max them out (Insert Toyota Vitz).

I was really hoping to make either the Lupo or mm-R cup car work, but the Lupo allows window weight reduction, of all things, and the mm-R is over on PP out of the box.

I also built a VW Beetle with a Low RPM Turbo. I don't think that car is capable of winning the event, but it was fun to drive. It REALLY had to be short shifted, maybe 3,000 RPM, IIRC.

I started scouring the dealers for low PP cars and came across this one. The technology for the time is crazy, neat to have all that thrown at a Kei Car! It turns out that it's a Suzuki, so I guess this is our second Bike Engine event.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autozam_AZ-1

As far as I know, the F6A engine has never been used in a motorcycle, and as far as I know, there are only two Bike-engined cars in GT5. One being the Suzuki GSXR/4 concept and other, the Caterham Fireblade.

Car running in now.

Someone has 400pp ?

Teehee. I knew there was a reason I liked Amemiya; they're nuts. I looked up the mentioned GReddy VI-AZ1 (aka GReddy 6) from the article:

There's very little info on it, because there's precisely one.

Can we use the blue one sometime? Can we can we can we?

I'm really bummed I didn't get to have a proper crack at GT-R/Motegi (one session last week, spent more time in the Supra, and was quickly unconscious last night), so I'll try to get off my date for this one. Interesting event!

Did you add the wing and max the aero?

Have you done a follow up oil change?

Did you do all weight reduction, including window and hood?

My car had the same stats as Chris' after I did all the mods (and re-checked them twice) - 94hp, 647kg, 392PP. I thought that 8PP was going to be a big gain for break in, but I will have to wait and see. I haven't driven it enough to need the follow up oil change yet.
