Steward's Comments:

Hmm, I've been taking part in the craziness that is WRS for 7 years, and here we are on the 11th anniversary. So I guess I missed the first 4 years, but I've been here longer than not. The first WRS took place right here on Trial Mountain, making this an appropriate combo, and one that will require every last bit of skill that you have. Have fun while you reflect on the WRSers of yesteryear.

:cheers:

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' (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 & T3 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 on MSN or via other 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 3 splits: T1, T2 & T3 times
  • Any settings discussion.
Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 5 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, February 24th 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

Hmm, yeah. The pics were doing some odd things, but I have it figured out now.
 
A great big bowl of Awesomeness!! 👍
Love this track, but hate the last corner. Love to hate.
I am new to WRS this year and wondering if tunes will be posted, or if they will be held close to the chest?
We will see....

16.783
42.717
 
I was right - this is a great combo:

16.685
42.652
1'04.535

Still need to properly tune it, but this was what I got after 6 laps with ever diminishing times. I have to get a proper suspension tune on it, tranny sucks as well - a quick LSD adjustment proved pretty good, but work can be done here as well. Will post my tune when I've finalised it.

You don't have enough splits. T3 is also needed.

We post our tunes. I should have one tomorrow to share.
 
My first splits are not showing up on the LB, but I've got new ones anyway. Are they in the correct format?

16.208
41.942
1'03.925

This got me .811 at the line thanks to a very quick tune I put on it.

Full Aero
LSD: 8 -- 20 -- 16
Suspension: 90 -- 95
6.44 -- 11.18
4 -- 4
6 -- 6
4 -- 4
0 camber
-0.10 -- 0.10 toe
7 -- 5 Brakes

For the gearing, I set Final Gear to 5.500
Top Speed to minimum (full left)
Then these gear ratios:

3.206
2.550
2.050
1.700
1.442
1.230

Then Final Gear to 3.900

That should get you started @Stevious and anyone else looking for a quick tune to start off with.
 
Happy anniversary! That looks like an interesting combo 👍

Weird glitch with default wheels: you're allowed to spend money for painting them, but the paint doesn't stick! (nor do you see it in the preview.)

I think I realise why the splits aren't showing on the LB - there is spaces for 4 Splits on there, not 3. That could be the issue.

Yes, I saw that happen - but then I changed to custom rims and painted them just fine.
 
Fun! First handful of laps.

16.763
42.163
1'04.497

Using default settings, except for transmission.
 
Nearly 2 tenths at the line and I think I'm done for today:

16.067
41.334
1'02.817

Have seen a 15.8xx in T1 so I'm good there, just need to improve the rest :D

I've tried lots of different tweaks to my suspension, but the one I posted above still proves the best.
 
Happy Anniversary!!. This is my 5th anniversary as it's my 5th event in the GTP so we're all celebrating :cheers:

Haven't tried the combo yet so should be interesting as I am quite possibly worse with the Elise than with the FXX so may be interesting. Am glad that tunes are allowed to be shared as I don't have a clue on tuning
