Steward's Comments:
This should be an interesting test of skill and patience. I got as close as the game could get to a "Reasonably Priced Car". It's a fun one, enjoy. 👍


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!

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 8 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"
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the body of "remove entry".
  • If multiple times are submitted, only the last submission will be counted.
  • Please include in your submission PM your final lap time
  • The deadline is Monday, April 11th 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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.


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

Dunsfold park isn't it?

Comfort hards eh - reasonably priced tyres for a reasonably priced car! Should be interesting!
 
Arcade yes my bad.
Not sure which airfield it is.
 
Early splits:
T1: 43.117
T2: 26.302

PS. How the **** will i find the racing line when i cannot find the track in the first place

Stick the driving line on for a bit. It's certainly pretty tricky otherwise... if you're not familiar.

Fortunately, this track does RED your lap a lot quicker than others (IMHO it's the only one that does it right) so it should show if you go off line.
 
Hands up who doesn't have the track unlocked on their GTP account.

Camper Vans here I come!
 
T1 42.809
t2 25.680
Sort my mess out please mods. Tried to edit my previous post via phone but for some reason It made a mess.
Don't normal do this. Sorry.
Jay.

My question is: what if you hit the cone on one lap and it will move to the racing line and then you'll hit it on your best lap when it wasn't on it's original place. Does it disqualify laptime?
 
Had a quick 10 laps, this is great fun! :)

Car handles really well and because it's FWD and quite light the N1s don't really cause many problems, just a lot of overheating and squealing.

T1: 42.879
T2: 25.878
 
Question about unlocking tracks. what is required to open the Top Gear Track? It's not on my list of world circuits.
 
First splits for me....

T1: 43.115
T2: 26.228

Seen much better, just wanna get a clean lap on the board!

Also, can someone confirm that ALL Tarmac/hard surface is track. That the only thing apart from going the wrong line or hitting cones that can DQ yourself, is at least 3 wheels on the grass?

I understand the bit for the corners that there are lines to follow and not cut inside! But just wanna check for the 1st corner that past the White line to the right of the little straight is still track. And the 2nd to last corner, the kind of black and White rumble strip is also track?

Thanks ;)
 
First 5 laps
