Steward's Comments:
Back to my personal favorite Original Circuit on GT Sport, in a car that may be a bit under rated. Certainly, these Gr. 3 Rad cars with a bit of aero, suspension and braking upgrades are a lot of fun. This one is a little bit slidey on Sports Soft rubber, but stll is very controllable and fun. If you did not pick up on it, this car is currently available in the mileage exchange.

Saving Replays, Viewing sector times and Submissions:
  • You need to make sure you use the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below).
  • Before saving your replay ensure that you continue running after completing your fast lap until at least the end of first sector. This will ensure you have a complete replay.
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Library' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replays' option.
  • While viewing your Replay, enter the live timing screen to view your sector splits. You will need to do this after your car has passed the sector markers to see it listed.
  • Simply post the splits that are shown in the live timing screen, and our Fetchbot will parse them and add them together for your total sector time.
  • When saving your fastest lap replay please ensure that you watch the replay to the end and that it displays your full lap time. Any replays submitted that do not show the posted lap time will result in a DQ.
  • Remember - When you submit your time you're also declaring that your run is 100% clean. We request replays for the purpose of verifying to all those concerned that the drivers claim is correct, which in turn safeguards the integrity of the driver, and just as importantly, the WRS. The golden rule is to check your replay before submission. If you’re still unsure, check it again, ask for a second opinion and if you’re still undecided, run the lap again.

  • Total Lap Time.
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total lap time.
  • If you choose to Share your Best-Lap Replay via GT Sport before the deadline,your full lap time will be considered to be shared publicly which contravenes our rules. Even if you've only shared with Friends.

  • Any settings discussion.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 129 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):
  • Please submit your FULL LAP TIME in the following format on a single line:
    X:XX.XXX
    (Example-) 1:10.100
  • You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error.
  • For those of you who were used to submitting replays on GT6, you no longer have the ability to export the files.
  • 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 129 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 129 Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • If you want to submit multiple times in the week just reply to the conversation with your new time. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • The deadline is Monday, May 18th 2020 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:
  • Division winners and overperformers will be required to submit a replay via the GT Sport Share function for verification AFTER Unofficial Results have been posted.
  • Participants will be expected to check each others' replays for cleanliness, for replays marked in the Results thread as (Replay Verify Required).
  • Video/Youtube/Twitch replays are not accepted as a form of verification.

Been faster at T2 but this whips through the chicane much better! Cool combo with lots to come off 👍

edit: Wow just found out gear up quite early just after 60% on the HUD for more oomph!!! ;)

Oh excellent, spent quite a while on the recent PD there where I managed 600 odd in the world, but my little bro Henry got to 38th in the red bull x 2019!

I'm sure he would post the YouTube video of it here and he would love the early support from his new community!

How about it @thesmallpup?
 
So different in this car

Fun combo though, will be fun to see what the optimal use of the car is

First 10 laps

Carried on for another hour, was having so much fun, don't think I've ever spent so long on pumping in some initial splits! Not far off my best I'd imagine with these, though did see a quicker s1 than this one and think there's time in s2 to grab... Not going to be much for me though! Determined to get up into D1!

Wait, PD did an X2019 event and I missed it? :(

I don’t have one yet, but trust me, I’d have happily done some money grinding for an excuse for drive it in an event. Oh well, I’ll have to start paying attention again I guess. Congratulations to him for a job well done, I’ve heard that car is pretty hard to drive. 👍
 
Gosh going from last week to this - like upgrading from a car to a train! Definitely still some time to find, sector 2 especially I'm finding lots of inconsistency going up that swervy hill.

Just to be sure:
In the "chicane of death":

Doc I don't think you've got anything else to worry about - the entry to the chicane does have that large curbing on the left hand side - I suppose if you were to be completely the wrong side of that it would be dirty but I don't even know if it's possible to make that corner if you were that far over, would have to look again.

I think I can find another tenth or so in each sector, but I’m happy with this lap for now. I really attacked the chicane because it screwed up two consecutive good laps not long before this, so hopefully the last sector is at least decent.
