Steward's Comments:
Celebrating the return to predictable F1 races. :sly:

Even though the car drives great with the updated "stock" values that PD instituted, go ahead and fiddle around with the tuning bits this week.


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 23 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, June 30th 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

That first corner is deceptive. Every time I think I've got it slowed down enough, I end up off course. :lol: On stock settings for now.

I look forward to seeing tunes...I have no idea if mine's good, but it's better than stock. :)

I've not tried Body Rigidity yet.

Have been 2.5 tenths better at T2 only to get eaten up in the last corner :ouch:

Changed the gears and upped downforce so far...
 
Camber can finally be used properly now. Guess I'll do my own tune when I get around to running this combo more.

I really should put more time into WRS, but I end up getting distracted by other games and completely neglect GT6. :indiff:

Lately I've made a push to not use ABS in hopes that I'll figure out something that will help to learn more efficient braking and possibly help improve my lap times. I already noticed with the Red Bull Ring that if I let off the brakes when I thought I'd be good for the corner, I found myself not making the corner due to not getting slowed down enough. When most of the heavy braking zones are either uphill or downhill, it's hard to accurately judge the braking properly.

Hopefully doing my own tune will help me get better at the tuning side of Gran Turismo and help me improve overall on track as well.

This is a nice break from Ring.
 
Yes, that's dirty. Your front left has left the red-n-whites and is fully on the yellow.

Ye Gods! I'm surprised F1 cars had any brakes left. Insane amount of time it took to actually put three good sectors together. It doesn't really look that good when watching the replay back.... fairly tidy though and didn't miss apexes by a million miles which I'd been habitually doing once per lap beforehand....

Those two left handers are really difficult - along with the downhill hairpin just before them that was killing me about 90% of the time.

Hopefully a little bit left, but I suspect once the tunes appear times will tumble more and more.

Really? Mine looks pretty nice and I don't know how i'll improve. I can't see anywhere I'm losing time other than the first turn in t2 or the first long sweeping left in t2. Even then its just a few hundredths.. i did see a .734 in T1, odds of replicating are slim to none. Guess thats why I'm bronze.. everything feels fast, but i never can find extra time

Clearly it was pretty fast, it just doesn't look it - looks like I don't carry enough mid corner speed in a few turns, nibbling the inside kerb - missed an apex by 2ft on one of the hairpins. Otherwise it was good - particularly sector three, got that pesky fella rather nicely.

On a lap this short, I suspect you need to nail it for it to look super awesome :D
