Steward's Comments:
This car was one of the hardest cars to acquire in GT3 , because it required golding all the Arcade Mode Fixed Time Trials. It was only a couple of years ago when I got to try it out in GT3 and ever since I've loved the looks of this car.
The low revs sound in GT6 is great too. :drool:

Thanks to all who participated in the photoshoot and especially thanks @hasslemoff , for hanging with me for these pics. 👍

Without further chatter , I'd like to say : Enjoy!


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 split times, 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 and T2 times

Submission:
All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 63 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 Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • 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, April 6th 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:

So very cool to drive Spa with lots of power and grip :-D

Did around five clean laps.
33.917
1'35.467
 
Looks like a great gast combo, and sticky too :)
Gonna be a nice week again Pekka 👍
 
Captain Sortofslow (looking for a new job apparently) is loving the track this week.

34.945
1'38.228

Wonder who dares and succeeds not to lift in Raidillon. One of the best corner sequences in motorsport.
 
33.497
1'34.814

Somewhere around a 1'34.5 would be about my best I think. It's really hard to chase quick ghosts...this thing wants to plough with throttle or too much speed, balancing act on the apex ;-)
 
Gonna have to grind some credits as I don't have enough money right now.
 
Sweet combo in an old classic 👍

33.317
1'33.809

been slightly faster at each split but wasn't good to me in the last chicane :P will get back to this through the week :cheers:
 
33.833
1'35.850

Good to get the rust off. Will have another crack at it later this week. Good combo pekka. Although to make an good combo with spa all you need is good car really. Spa will do the rest.
 
Quite addicting blasting up eau rouge with 200+ prayers an hour hoping you'll make it. So far progress is the middle name however. Progress was in the first and last sector shaving off an whoppin .8 of a second

33.483
1'35.517

Edit: I'll stop spamming now hahaha
 
image.jpg The white strip on the edge of the rumble strip on Eau rouge is good or no? :)
 
33.350
1'33.633

Seen some 33.1's at T1 going banzai through Eau rouge... will defo get some more laps tomorrow and see if I can grab my missing tenths :)

Excellent drive this and it's hard to get bored at Spa :bowdown: 👍
