Submission And Participation:

When you have verified your lap is clean and the best you can do, visit http://frs.atspace.co.uk/submit.
Fill out each field and click Submit at the bottom to complete the process.

This week's time needs to be submitted before March 26th by 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time. This is GMT -8 or -7 depending on daylight savings time.

If you encounter any issues with the submission form or process, please send a PM to Terronium-12 or Jump_Ace. Also note the following:

  • You can submit only ONCE (be sure to give it your best effort)
  • Please give it your best effort as sandbagging is highly frowned upon in the Forza Planet community.

Feel free to post your best times in this thread. You can compare how you stack up with other participants throughout the week by visiting the FRS Weekly Splits Leaderboard (which can be found here: http://frs.forzaplanet.net).

After you have submitted your absolute best effort in the Qualifier, keep an eye on FP_Registry to see your division placement.

Please refer to this Time Calculator Website to properly add multiple times together (when necessary) before submitting your time.

This is a friendly competition open to drivers of all abilities, so start racing and we'll see you in the results :) 👍




Time Verification:


SPECIAL NOTE: When running your qualifier time. Please restart your session every 15 or sooner (10 to 12 laps depending on the track). FM4 will stop recording your replay after (roughly) 15 minutes. Thus, if you run your best lap after it stops recording, it won't count as you can't provide the replay.

Save your replay and keep it at least 6 weeks after submission:


  • Top 3 fastest times from each division will be required to submit a replay for verification
  • Any submitted time is subject to a time verification request
  • When a time verification has been requested, the concerned racer must provide a replay within 3 days
  • Failure to do so will result in the submitted time being ignored for official registration
  • Video replays are not accepted (i.e. using camera phone, camcorders, etc.)

Submitting And Verifying A Requested Replay:

If a request is made for you to supply a replay, look in the results thread for a "(Replay Required)" to appear next to your name and submitted time. You may also get a PM if a replay hasn't been promptly provided.

Many hands make little work and if you can assist the Race Stewards in verifying each others lap times, it won't go unappreciated. Follow The Guide To Managing FM4 Replays to verify another drivers submitted time.

Remember to mark whether the replay was valid or not in the results thread:

- Clean/Valid Lap

- Dirty/Invalid Lap

- DQ'd Lap (only used in the results thread by the Race Stewards)

The code to insert a flag is. Remember to wrap them in an Image Tag;

Race Stewards Comments:

In case you thought last week's combo was a little on the easy side, this track is pretty demanding no matter what car you are driving. Have fun!

Remember to keep at least two tires on the rumble strip and/or within the white lines on the tarmac. Taking a turn too fast that causes you to go into a run-off, dirt, sand, etc. will invalidate your lap.

Because the FRS is a new series, here is a quick run-down of what you need to do to participate:

  1. Run the Registry Qualifier if you haven't yet, which can be found HERE.
  2. Now load up this week's FRS Car and Track Combo. Drive your best, clean lap(s). Post your results in this thread as you progress throughout the week.
  3. Compare your splits with other participants by visiting the FRS Weekly Splits Leaderboard
  4. When you've done your best, submit your time before the above deadline using FRS Submission Form found HERE.
NOTE - Regarding week's submission form, please leave the Division section blank.

If you have any questions, please post them in the Registry Discussion Thread.

Good luck. 👍

FP OLR Admin Team :cheers:

 
After my first session my best lap was 2:01.492. Hopefully will be able to improve a decent amount throughout the week as I get used to the car/track.
 
I just did a 1:58.099 today I think I could get another .500 seconds faster
I am really having fun cant wait for the racing to start
thanks to the guys running this
 
This seems like fun. I like the car and the track. Unfortunately I can't reach my box until Friday or saturday as I'm in Russia. Sad, sad, sad. I can't wait to get back home.

''Run the Registry Qualifier if you haven't yet'' Do I still need to do that? I never entered in there....

Yes, everyone who wants to submit a weekly time has to register a qualifying time first (see FP Registry Qualifier thread).
 
It is obvious that the organizers have put a lot of effort into this race series, and I appreciate that.

But...so far, 3 out of 3 races, the cars have been stock. Since I don't like driving stock cars, I will have to bow out.

These races are more like 'warm ups' to get people into how the series will flow. Much harder/faster cars are coming I can assure you :sly:

Leaderboard Updated.

Also, in case anyone is interested/needs to upgrade their silver account, Deal News has 12 Month's of Live for $30 this morning :)

Missed out on the last event due to thinking it ended later today but this one looks quite fun and it's on a track I'm alright on so I will definitely be taking part in this one.

I am completely opposite and believe that vehicles in their stock form are beautiful machines.

I should be able to put down some times tonight.
 
I got 1:58.243 after my first session of 10 laps.. much room for improvement, but I hate that track with a passion! The first corner is doing my head in! :banghead:
 
Please don't disclose your Qualifier time. The results will be posted once the next update rolls out.

You can reveal your time for this weeks FRS combo tho :)

First try I get to 2:01.712
I have a 2:01.331 dirty by the Forza system, might be ok though.

Is a lap always good if it doesn't get flagged in game or could it be bad still? From what I've read it seems like a dirty lap in game could be clean, just not sure if it can work the other way.
 
Missed the first week but I jumped on this one as soon as I could. Posted a 1:58.633, could've done a bit better but I'm sattisfied. I'm using a wheel, not sure if I need to post that here or not.
 
Well I gave this one a try, very inconsistent on this track. But I was able to manage a 1:58.510 that I can actually claim as a clean lap. I have seen lower times but they would not count. I will give it another shot later in the week when I am not so tired.

Good luck everyone.

I am the complete opposite, I think it should be down to how good you can drive and not how good you are at tuning. Better tuners would have an advantage.
