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, T2 and T3 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!

The following information can be discussed in this thread :

• T1 and T2 times

Number of splits: 2

The posting of settings is encouraged, but it's certainly not mandatory. We respect anyone wishing not to post settings, so please do not publicly ask someone to post their settings, they will if they want to.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 45 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):

• Please submit your time in the following format on a single line:
  Time: X'XX.XXX
  (Example-) Time: 1'10.100

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.

Time verification:

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

What is the way to get this car, I don't think I'll be able to compete this week unless it's a prize car or something.

 

[viper84]

You can buy it in the OCD.

It is a great car.... shame its going to get trashed against the Armco You and your street circuits....

 

[anastasis14]

Arrgh still at level 16, don't have much time this week, anyone willing to grind my b-spec level(0)

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Anastasis, send me a FR on PSN and I'll add you to my widget.

Chris, let me know if you need cash as well. You could use a few more Bobs though!

 

[Sjaak]

If somebody can not buy the car on their GTP_account ,send me a friend request.
I have a free slot in 10 hours.


👍 for the combo

 

[Biffy]

Damn it, can't resist coming back to the WRS for this week, that is a great combo. Will try and rustle up some splits tomorrow.

 

[GTP_RaceRyder]

630 hp first run, cold tires, 1 lap, car sounds great, American Muscle. Post shows t1-t3 for posting, but rules later say t1-t2. Will post t1 and t2 to be safe. Just wanted to be on the top for the moment!

42.764
46.310

I'm pretty sure that line is left over from when we run Nascars, in which we don't reveal the exact car we are using, since there are different manufacturers.
First splits:
T1: 39.563
T2: 40.863

Sorry, Dale!

 

[mohitraina91]

Never thought this car would be so much fun. A great combo Kevin 👍.

First 10 laps, stock tune:
T1: 39.174
T2: 40.260

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Added you Carlos 👍

Got it - make sure that your B spec driver(s) are set to run online.

Nice combo Kev although there's no margin for error around this track

 

[chukabilly]

Great combo, Kevin!! 👍
New splits:
T1: 38.642
T2: 40.422

It's shaping up to be a fun week!!

Racing On!

[EDK]

I fixed the car you are using thing in the first post. I'm on the phone, so not as easy to correct the track surface thing. All is track, just stay off the walls. (Good Luck )

 

[Vagabond]

Chris, let me know if you need cash as well. You could use a few more Bobs though!

Yeah that would be cool Jon mate I spent up last night on the GT40 I'll sort out my Bobs to get ont t'internet

Kev, I have to agree with you on the car - its a fantastic drive and rewards absolutely caning it. Love it. 👍

Done my installation laps and beefed the springs up alot, removed rear toe, loosened diff off alot, and maxed out the aero... this beast has alot to give. Anyway, first splits:

38.492
39.544

Funny timing zones - this week all comes down to that last corner.

 

[ryanerb]

Just out of curiosity, where is the tire wear/fuel depletion setting?

Edit: Nevermind I see it...

 

[toymdngn]

[Facepalm]So I just spent an hour on this (about the only time I might have today) and then got on here to post my splits and submit my time...

I was just about to hit the post button, when I realized my T1 was only 14ish seconds, and luckily I had skimmed over the thread before posting... Apparently I missed the "Reverse" part in the original post...[/Facepalm]

Hopefully I can find some time later this week to do this in the correct direction...

edit: Just ran a couple laps. Here is my fastest so far, with pretty much a stock car (turned LSD down).

T1: 40.042
T2: 42.073

 

[Vagabond]

What an amazing car - big rewards for thrashing it mercilessly.

38.050
39.317

Quite a bit more to come I think. Already seen a 37.798 1st sector... not sure about sector 2 yet. Pick a line, any line, hit barrier, try another line, etc.

 

[toymdngn]

Got a few laps in while dinner is in the oven.

T1: 39.612
T2: 41.949

 

[AspecBob]

39.769
41.014

Lots of stuff to hit on this track...

Also, there are a couple of places where I have a hard time seeing the edge of the track because of the shadows of the trees.

Very fun combo, though!

 

[Vagabond]

Last run for tonight:

37.787
39.354

Still a few more tenths to come there I think.. keep finding more traction and exit speed. Sweet combo. Bravery on the power and shut your eyes through the high speed stuff

Really, Chris! Nearly two full seconds ahead already!! And we haven't heard from the rest of the aliens yet.
That's it. I'm brewing some coffee and clearing my schedule for the week! (except Wednesday, of course!)

Racing On!

 

[Cats_PJs]

Honestly can't remember the last time I ran this track in reverse. Going to take bit to find the lines.

Car is much better than I expected though.

 

[toymdngn]

I really like this combo! I didn't think I was going to have any more time today, but 5 minutes at a time and I keep improving my times.

T1: 39.845
T2: 41.475

Question: I haven't used Race Soft tires in pretty much a really long time... are these things supposed to be silent on the edge of adhesion? If anything all I'm hearing is a slight scrubbing sound.

 

[Diabolical_J]

This is my first WRS event, though I don't think my qualifier is in the system yet. So far I'm having a blast with this one. Normally I hate R246, but I'm actually enjoying this one. So far I'm at 38.847 and 40.191 with no suspension tuning. With a decent tune and a smoother run through some of the corners I'm struggling with, there's definitely room for improvement.

 

[cicua]

I would probably never have tried this car if not for this combo. The old Corvettes are terrible. But this thing is mad

First 30 laps

38.385
39.210

Not tuned much; max downforce, max speed increased by 30 km/h, LSD 7/12/8 (just standard loosening stuff).

I could cut my finger on that power curve - guess I am going to make a close gearing for it.

And for springs.... looks like they did not want to sacrifice comfort

 

[chukabilly]

Yes, Toy, that is the racing soft. Kevin was very kind to us this week. The grip level of these tires approaches surreal, and with a good tune you can make corners under full throttle that aren't probably possible in real life.
If I had a good tune, I'd give it to you, but I'll need to work on that tomorrow. There will almost certainly be one or two tunes already up by then. To start with though, you can lower the rear and turn your LSD settings down. For LSD, I usually run a 5-20-5.
Latest splits:
T1: 38.655
T2: 39.895

I'm pretty sure I can do a 37.xxx and a much better t2, but I don't think that will be enough! That's enough for tonight, though.

 

[jtv90069]

Looking forward to having a go at this combo, only another 30 GT5 days till it hits my ucd.
Love the car, hate the track and i'm not good at tuning. Could be an interesting frustrating week for me
Good luck to you all, some really fast splits posted already.
