Steward's Comments:
Back to one of the great original circuits this week, in a really grippy MR. This car is a great drive around here, have fun!!


Viewing your T1 & T2 Lap Time Splits:





  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay'



  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replay Theater' option.
  • While Viewing Your Replay, Choose the "Live Timing Monitor" To View Your Sector Times
  • To post your T1 and T2 Splits, simply post the sector times that are shown in the live timing monitor.
  • The WRS Fetchbot has been updated and will now add your splits together!

The posting of settings is encouraged, but it's certainly not mandatory. We respect anyone wishing not to post settings, so please do not publicly ask someone to post their settings, they will if they want to.
It is however expected for splits to be posted if you're taking part.



Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 35 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):








  • Please submit your time in the following format on a single line:
    Time: X'XX.XXX
    (Example-) Time: 1'10.100
  • Users can ask the bot for the current submitted time by sending a message with the body: "get entry"

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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.


Time verification:


Save your ghost replay and keep it at least a full two weeks after the event's deadline:




  • Racers, named by the OLR Admin staff, (if any) 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 the correct replay within seven days of the request
  • Failure to do so will result in the removal of the unverified submission from the results table
  • Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Arghh, I have a really good tune for that car...

I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy a new wheel. I'm thinking about hooking up my G27 pedals to a new Fanatec...

Well, have fun.👍
 
First short session on standard setup

25.234
29.288

This car feels like it's glued to the surface.
Under- or oversteer is not in his dictionary...

EDIT:
fiddled with the tune a bit

First splits, like Lefty said, a rhythm track. I haven't quite found the rhythm yet.

My usual bad habit of braking to late, then on the gas to hard, then the front pushes, etc. BRAKE EARLY.:dunce:

Fun car to drive, tricky track at points. The right hander under the bridge is killing me, BRAKE EARLY!!!

T1, 25.443
T2, 29.403
 
Haha, how much grip has this thing got? Its like a go-kart round here... :P

Pretty nifty start from you Lefty 👍 And that's a handy sector 2 Speedy 👍

My opener:

24.659
28.610

Lost a tenth from the previous lap 2nd sector, so looking for at least a tenth. I'll do some set-up fiddling but this thing is almost flat out everywhere already so maybe not so much to be gained from tuning. Gotta just brave it out on the limit.... Sweet combo, Kev. :cheers:
 
Hey, I just registered with GTP 2day but have been playing the gt series for a while (since good old ps1 lol).
Was just wandering if I have to register to WRS somehow, or do I just post times as a private message as above? and save the best lap replay?
cheers

Louis
 
Welcome to GTPlanet Lou :cheers: Best GT community on the net.

If you have a look here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=180298 it will tell you everything about how the WRS registry works. Good luck. 👍

Edit - more splits:

24.631
28.575


Better run to the line as well and up 0.2 on the lap. I reckon about another 0.4 to find off the total time. For me anyway.... :)

Edit edit - OK I was wrong...

24.610
28.432

Up 0.6 at the line. Not sure what the target is now. 💡

This is going to be awesome in all ways except that I ended up in d3 some how so I'll never be competitive in my division.
None the less should be a fun combo!
 
Guys,I get with an oilchange and engine 3 ,360 BHP
or is the engine tuning not allowed?


The OP says:
Power: 345 HP (Stock Car with Oil Change and Stage 3 Engine Tuning) - This number will go up with Engine Break In. Max Power is fine.

It might be that I did not have the oil change on my car, even though I thought I did.

I know I had the stage III installed. I tested this combo sometime back and had it in the hopper, did not have as much time as normal to spend last night, so know that stage III + oil change + break in IS allowed for the combo, whatever that power ends up being.

It's a little more straightforward than you think, because the only other available power upgrade is Turbo, which is NOT allowed.
 
First go, stock setup bar BB and gearing, i suck at setups!

T1-24.476
T2-28.202

A good .5 to come, car don't feel as good as it could be i don't think plus atleast 10bhp to come.
 
Hi guys. Been long time since I last competed in WRS. Hope you guys are keeping well:tup:

T1- 24.240
T2- 28.117

Will make setup changes tomorrow and see how it goes. Just know this combo we're going to be chasing thousands at end of week :scared:
 
:lol: I'm 40 (just) and been playing GT since the first one... I don't think any more practice will bridge that gap mate.
 
First splits:

T1: 24.639
T2: 28.548


New splits:

T1: 24.567
T2: 28.430

You forgot to mention that you're also married. ;)
 
In spec2 you can turn tyre wear and fuel depletion on in practice mode, I think it should be disallowed. Could we just say that replays must show full tyres and full tank?

First 40 laps besides, and no times to post, the final corner kills me. I have managed reasonable exit speed and line once or twice. I just do not know what is up with it, maybe tomorrow it will just flow.

Heh :P I don't know if that makes me slower or faster. :sly:

Welcome back Rutter. :cheers: Stunning opener, now you can call it done eh? :sly:

Hey Simon, nice to see you about :cheers: Yeah that last turn is a bugger. I'm just lifting and changing down a gear, then nail it on the exit and change back up to 6th.

Found a bit more speed anyway... forgot the engine wasn't at full power yet so got Bob to run it in for me.

24.364
28.258

A bit hesitant through the flying last sector after I saw the split time. Goddam that on-screen timer...

Thanks for pointing that out, I will add it to the race rules.

Added this bit -

Tire Wear and Fuel Depletion (New for Spec II): OFF - Your Replay must show a full fuel tank and unworn tires.

Heh I don't know if that makes me slower or faster.

Was thinking it might take away from your practice time. ;)
