Steward's Comments:

The first FF drivetrain combo for GT6. We know how much you all loved the qualifier combo with the Megane at Willow Springs :sly: so we've gone easy on you with this one, allowing suspension and LSD tuning to dial out that understeer. With a short lap time round this fun little Indy circuit, it should make for a close week with everyone looking for those last few thousandths.

:cheers:

Viewing your T1 & T2 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 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 2 splits: T1 & T2 times
  • Any settings discussion.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 6 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, March 3rd 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

Good luck, :gtplanet:

A week of fiddling ahead, trying all sorts of changes to find speed.

Drove an older model of this car in GT5 for a seasonal event, all I remember is understeer, understeer and more understeer :sly:

What colour is the one in the original post? Looks bad ass!
Its Red Metallic but I can't remember what manufacturer its from.... I'll let you know if I remember.

For those 'mentioning' the understeer - that's why suspension and LSD tuning is allowed. Its still a FWD car though, so brake and turn in earlier and use the throttle carefully. This is nothing compared to the Megane in the qualifier, so stop moaning and get on with it. :D
 
Hoping to get some time to run this today, certainly a challenge the FF cars. I have never been able to master the technique when it comes to these cars, hopefully with more practice things will improve :)
 
Pleasant little FF combo. 👍

Thanks for getting it up early again, as this Sunday is my only chance for getting a shot at WRS 6. :)

First session:

21.050
36.316

With default suspension settings, tranny trick and LSD at 5-25-5.

Hoping to get one more session in during the afternoon/evening.
 
Just drove this car yesterday on Ford's tilty turny rig at the auto show. I think it was on r Factor, but I'm not positive about that. The game was set to beginner and auto trans. Traction control must have been set to max because you could barely accelerate while turning. Wasn't much fun, but the rig was pretty cool.

Same here, and I've forgotten the original setup :ouch:
Switch to a different settings sheet.
