Steward's Comments:
A fun drive in a classic Jag here at Eiger. I can't find any past events where this car was used, but the forum search is admittedly limited. Even if we have, it's been a while. You decide which is more scenic, the car or the track surroundings!

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
  • Any settings discussion
full


Submission:
All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 133 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, August 8th 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:

Looks like an awesome combo! Eiger always has been a fun track to run on!

Looking forward to running some laps with this combo 👍


Just to get a full understanding, since tuning is prohibited, that means Brake Balance is prohibited as well and must remain at 5/5

Thanks @EDK :cheers:

BB is usually adjustable (can't remember WRS ever not allowing it), the race rooms can't detect it, even with tuning prohibited, so better to allow it.

BB can be adjusted, but I see how my post could be read as inconsistent. I will fix the RA functions part, it's a copy paste error. But above there, I state it's optional. As in, adjustment is optional.

Thanks Kevin and Patrick 👍

Also you might want to update the picture of the car on the WRS Leader boards for this week, I think Fetchy or something got the 2 jaguars mixed up or?

Thanks, it's now been updated. I just had not made it there yet, there's a bunch of stuff we have to do with the board when putting up a new combo, just prioritized getting it up for you guys ASAP.

Btw... 15 year ago TODAY! I joined GTP, i have just completed the equivalent of a life sentence but it was all good times and wouldn't change it :cheers: I was 29 with 4 kids back then and now I'm a 3 times grandad but still enjoy a good battle on GT now and then... there's life in the old dog yet and who knows where I will be in 15 years time? probably still sat on my arse racing :D

Cheers to all who doesn't mind an old guy waffling away haha 👍

I'm surprised I noticed this... Monday is the 8th. I'm not sure if that's relevant, but I felt it should be pointed out in case the automation showed the results on Sunday, as it just says the date (not the day) here. :)
Thanks, I was clearly in a hurry. Hopefully we can get Fetchy to realize the date has changed. :scared:

EDIT: Phew, that was something I can actually edit directly in the leaderboard, in addition to the thread. :)

Thanks for catching that now. 👍

Glad you are liking this one. And great to have you here racing with us after all these years, showing the rest of the guys what it's all about. 👍

Congratulations on 15 years there @Mr P :-)!!! Amazing it has been 15 years for you. Still have 8 months left to finish my 15 year sentence. You were blindly fast back in GT3 and it is amazing your even faster now ;-) Keep it up :-) let us know how your next life sentence goes

Nice combo.
Well known track.So this won't take too long :lol:
Still a bit on the safe side.Massive grip on this car.Didn't expect it.
Will be a close week
:gtpflag:
Yeah, I tested SH at first and I wanted a bit more grip for the speeds the car was getting up to. And it's a tricky combo, as the grip in the sweepers is quite good, but accel grip out of low speed corners is poor. Requires throttle control and to manage the car characteristics in different types of turns. Fun. :D

Yes indeed.So I've noticed.Big fun though :lol:
 
Just too say something other than the usely great or fun compo and so on , I must admit that I find it exstreamly boring , and think I got just about the best sector times I can get and allready after only 30 min off driving. 1 thing is for sure and that is that iamdone with the compo , maybe I could find a couple off tenhts iff I wanted too , but sadly I find the car exstreamly boring , like I allways do with cars that havent got any bhp / torque , I guess that what I just said isnt going too be very popular , but I just had it about everybody only writing great , fun and so on , and I hope that constructive criticism is ok and well recieved , I probaly havent explained what I wanted too say , the right way , I cant do that in english :)

You're entitled to your opinion.

What we try to do here is use a wide variety of the tracks, cars, tires, etc. that are available to us on the game. This in turn allows us to appeal to a wide variety of members - those of all skill levels. And allow people to learn and adapt their driving to different situations to make them better all around racers.

While direct criticism from one member is taken into account, the broader context is that we judge ourselves based on event participation. That's a bit of a challenge these days, as we wind our way down on GT6 and the PS3. We experienced a similar transition at the end of GT4. But we still will look at week to week participation and weed out the types of events that keep people from submitting laps.

One thing I would tell you is that I seriously doubt you have already found your maximum laptime. You might have found your best splits, but the really tricky part of this combo is that sector 3 is going to create some stark contrasts between initial splits and the results at the line.

Now what you really might be saying is that you're not interested in chasing after 5 tenths. And that's fine, but I think you'll find a lot more people here who ARE interested in finding those than not.
 
Hi,
.... , I probaly havent explained what I wanted too say , the right way , I cant do that in english :)
my english is more than horrible - school is over for more than thirty years now - but I'm sure I understand what you want to say.

As @EDK mentioned there is a wide variety of possible combinations, and not everyone is fine with every combination. So what :cheers:

Greets,
D, who preferes "modern" cars with power and a lot of grip. @EDK, can you hear me? :gtpflag:
 
a spare fifteen minutes on this one comfortably gets the lap count into double figures , I like that 👍
The Mrs took the kids shopping, what's a guy to do, lost my mind at Midfield and Bathurst last week, so this is actually nice. Car even sounds great in replay mode, managed to discover how to get into the 10's in T1 and what not to do in T2 (on around 7 laps).
Still pretty ropey lap but found half a second in final sector alone, so 'plenty' left out there if I want it 👍
