Steward's Comments:
Off to a city track this week, and our first GT5 WRS race in an all wheel drive car. Rome is such a wide, high speed and flowing city track, that something with a lot of power works really well here. Timing the right moment to put the power back down while exiting turns is the key to staying off the walls. Have Fun. :mischievous:


Viewing your T1 & T2 Lap Time Splits:



  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay'.

  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.
  • While Viewing Your Replay, Choose the "Live Timing Monitor" To View Your Sector Times
  • To post your T1 and T2 Splits, simply post the sector times that are shown in the live timing monitor.
  • The WRS Fetchbot has been updated and will now add your splits together!

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.

  • When a time verification has been requested, the concerned racer must provide the correct replay within seven days of the request

Great name Kev :lol:, Very clever 👍

Looks interesting...
 
Woo! Week 3!

Excellent combo this week! The car us a brilliant drive and the Rome circuit has several different lines around it. It will be a tough week to get your times down!

👍 Admin :)

EDIT: @kev, there is on the thread rules section it says we can discuss T3 times.... :)
 
Mmm, I haven't driven this car yet nor can I say I know my way around Rome very well, looks like this week will be a steep learning curve.

To me this is what makes the WRS so much fun. 👍

Cheers Shaun.
 
This looks fun, I love this track, especially the forward version. Glad I don't have to face the kink of the reverse track.
 
Ehmm, there is in the leaderboard an picture of an Aston Martin.
And the track layout isn't correct.

Maybe I'm to fast but I tought maybe I could help:sly:
 
Hmmm this was the car we used In season 1 of our league.
Major understeer in this car but its ok once you get a feel for it.

The leaderboard database for cars and tracks of new combos in GT5 has not been filled yet so for the time being we have to do the picture updates manually. Hopefully it will be correct by tomorrow 👍
 
I really wish I had more time to do these so I could really put some effort into it... :guilty:

But good luck to everyone else. Have fun! :cheers:
 
First quick session:
T1: 23.874
T2: 21.357

Nice combo. 👍

I couldnt get on with last week, but this is more up my street, no pun intended.
 
This one is soooo easy to get wrong...I spend half the laps with a red timer from crashing...:nervous:

T1: 24.317
T2: 21.702
 
The green area at the end Is magnetic.
T1 24.172
T2 22.152
 
Hehe, great fun car - never driven this one before but its a riot :) Experimenting with different racing lines at the mo.

First few laps:

T1: 24.149
T2: 21.612

This should be a fun week I hope 👍
 
first splits, FUN combo but so easy to nudge a wall on the last corners.

Is the green section at the final hairpin classed as track? I'm assuming so since it says all hard surfaces.

T1: 24.325
T2: 21.635

I'm classing it as run-off and not using it... Kev, what's the final word? :)

Slight improvement..

T1: 24.105
T2: 21.540

Playing with brake balance...

It's track, but if you run off there, you've lost time.
