Steward's Comments:
One year of great WRS events, congrats EDK. 👍 What an honor to be handed the reins for this week. Same track boundaries as Week 2, Supraman VIII. If you're losing control in the first few turns, well, maybe you should slow down a little. :P


Viewing your T1, T2, & T3 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!

Maybe you forgot one point in race specifics:

  • The use of the foam that is found under Chuk's pedals is strictly prohibited.

:P
 
OK, let's get this party started. My first stint at the top of the leader board:

It's a long way to the summit of Mount Maserati, but at least I've left base camp.

👍 Nice pick Lucas.

Glad the initial responses are good! :cheers:

Here's my current white-knuckle lap, with some room for improvement in T1 & T2:

Let's see some totally out-of-control photos over the course of the week. 👍
 
This looks like one great combo I'll be digging into this week :D
Well done Grav 👍
 
This car is definately killing me.

I'm loving this combo. Great job, Lucas!!! :cheers:

I can easily see myself driving 40-50 hours this week just on this one. :)

Brewing coffee and Racing On!!! :gtpflag:

edit: Congratulations on a great year Kevin!!! :cheers: Enjoy your well-earned vacation!

I'll consider myself fortunate if I am able to put in a tenth of that into this week.

Did a first stint of nine laps and it is a wonderful combo. I really like it when you can steer with your right foot.👍




Anyway, just to put something on the board and commit:

18.677
28.889
24.402
 
first splits after 20 laps or so:

18.338
28.969
24.248

Already pretty happy with this, can't see much improvement
 
Here you go Lucas! First splits:
T1: 18.534
T2: 28.948
T3: 24.560

Happy with my start to what will be a fun week!! :)

Nice splits Racer!! :cheers: I'm chasing you! :D

edit: Good to see you racing, Anghammarand! :cheers: There's no need to drive this anymore, you are already fast enough!! :)

Edit: A few more laps before Sunday Morning racing yielded these: :)
T1: 18.458
T2: 28.993
T3: 24.529

Great combo Lucas 👍

Nice opening gambit Chuk. Am I going to be chasing you again by the end of the week? :P

Nice to see Thomas in for another geology lesson :sly:

I still have nightmares about Trial Mountain after Supraman VII - I think that was the week that began the demise of my beloved G25. It's odd that I've been driving this circuit since the advent of Gran Turismo but never really learned how to drive it properly until WRS Week 2 on GT5.... I hate to love it but its horribly addictive and the Maserati is one of my favourite GT5 cars. Anyway, time to see how the Fanatec holds up to the challenge....

18.228
28.993
24.232

Not sure how that'll stand up as the week progresses but I'm pretty happy with it as a start. :)
 
I just can not get along with T2...its killing me. I think everything else is just about as close as I'm gonna get with my worn out controller

T1: 19:013
T2: 30:111
T3: 25:551
 
Ahh, sunshine and dry tarmac.:)

First splits after a dozen or so laps.

T1, 18.631
T2, 29.234
T3, 24.652

Nice to see the monkey is still at TM 👍 still no idea why they put it there in every version of GT with this track? good to see him again anyway haha :lol:

Will give this a few laps after dinner :)

You never can tell! :sly: Nice job yourself, by the way. 👍 For now, at least, I'm chasing you! :cheers:

I raced this track for years before Kenny showed me where the monkey is!

Oh, is that what's on the branch in the last picture of the OP? If Marc had been doing those pictures, it would probably have the Stig's helment on its head!

messed up badly on this save approaching the uphill after T2 :banghead:

lots to get for sure when I clean it up! will go back later 👍

Very sweet combo even for a slippy assed tank sized car :cheers:
 
This is my 1st go at WRS and I am ignorant of section time posting practice. Do you post your best section times from disjointed laps, or, do you post section times from your best lap? Thanks.

Best of luck Chuk mate 👍 Hope you have a stock of spare foams :sly: I still don't know where the monkey is... I feel enormously ignorant. :guilty: :P

Very sweet combo even for a slippy assed tank sized car :cheers:
Great start Ron, nice one 👍 I'm just beginning to discover what this motor can do around here and loving it. :)

Did you pick this combo Lucas? Great choice mate. 👍

18.147
28.653
24.176

Got a good rhythm going on this lap. No idea how much more I'm looking for, just loving it. Up 0.6 on my previous best with this.
 
First I saw Ron's splits. :eek:

Then I saw Chris' splits.
