That's referring to the "Relevancy" option in the advanced search. There are common search-engine schemes used to help the computer understand what might be relevant to you, based on what you enter in the search box.

Hey guys given that the update brings time trials to open lobbies, have the admins. any ideas regarding this and the future of WRS? Please consider I'm a complete ignorant about GT online...

I'd like to ask something about I've been seeing here for a while, I'd respect it, but I really don't comprehend it.
Outside white line = Dirty
Ok until here, FIA agree with that, GTP agree with that and even I do! It is a simple concept.
Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
They are part of track, but outside track!?
Rumble stripes are positioned outside white lines, witch is globally accepted as track boundary. Isn't it conflicting?
IMHO, rumble stripes are designed to help the cars to remain on track. You go out corner fast, cross the white line and there they are, red/white rumble strips preventing your car to loose traction or touching grass, sand or whatever.
So I have four wheels outside track (first picture below) but its legal. But if you keep your car on a straight line (second picture below), as soon as rumble stripes is over, your lap becomes illegal because you are off track.
I really would like to understand this concept.

Before the rumble ends you just need to move back onto the track. This corner is also like that final corner at this track - same rule applies.

As you said, rumble strips are designed to help the cars remain on track. So, as Iain just said, you're supposed to be back on track before they end.
As to your other question, if I understand it properly, rumble strips are considered to be an extension of the track. In other words, track = tarmac bounded by white lines (these being included) + rumble strips.

Thanks guys, I clearly understand that once rumble strips is over I should come back inside white line. Thats the GTP rules and I follow.
What I'm trying to understand is the hole concept of it.
Why it does not make sense to me? I'll try to explain my point of view. Sorry about my english anyway.
if I'm driving along a line, I'm legal but then, all sudden its become illegal. It's a conflicting rule. Just take a look at pictures i posted earlier, does it make sense?
This rule states that white line shows the track boundary, but not aways! It's no longer shows track edges if there is a kerb near it.
My point is: Rumble strips, kerbs, or whatever its called is not considered part of track. It's not just my point as you can see as follow:
I just cited FIA/F1 but I believe all major motorsport regulations follows the same rule.
EDIT: This is what I believe as half legal:

It's a long-time WRS rule and I wasn't around for its genesis, but it has to do with difficulty of verifying cleanliness on replays. Imagine if the outside of the white lines was the boundary and your right-side tire was right on the edge of the white line where it meets the white part of the rumble. Due to the color similarities as well as due to the angle-up of the rumble, it would be more difficult to verify contact patch location than if the boundary was the nice defined red/white-to-green boundary of the outside edge of the rumble.
Being as close to real-life as possible is a nice goal and all, but this is a game.

I've got your point.
Thanks for clarifying.

I've thought about it for some time now, and I think I'll be less active in the WRS for some time until school ends. I've already reached my goal of getting into D1 gold and I'm not seeing the motivation as much to keep letting my handicap drop. I'll of course be here for combos that I think I'll really enjoy. I could use less stress in my life especially since I'm approaching my senior year of high school. I'll stay in the discussion and watch the WRS threads that I don't participate in. Also I want more time again for seasonal time trials and GTA 5.

That's getting up there.
Mine is 10 months old and has 149 thousand and change. The line haul guy puts most of the miles on, I only do 125-175 miles per day.

Ya, our's too, but I do p&d. I'm only in the truck for about 10 minutes at a time, hitting docks like crazy. I do between 15-20 drop offs and 5-10 pick-ups a day.

@Cats_PJs and @ItsAllAboutWins bleh, I must pick up and put down 50-60 times a day and after each 10 I have to go refill. I'm doing hundreds of feet per day between my desk and the coffee pot

How do I go about changing my psn tag for the wrs as my current GTP tag I use has been hacked and I can't access it anymore.
I've been in contact with Sony and they are trying to resolve the issue for me but been told it will take a while as purchases have been made in last 24hrs so it's been fully blocked.

Okay, so I have two discussion points that I'd love to hear fellow WRS'er thoughts on:
1. DS3 Button Mapping
I feel like it's time I stopped using X and ⎕ for accelerator/brake. I can't apply both if I wanted and obviously throttle/brake control is practically on/off. Today I tried the following set up:
2. Driving View
I've always driven chase cam but I hear it's not used by top drivers. I understand that the hud is much better in bumper cam but is that the only advantage?
I'm pretty sure there aren't "right" answers but I'd love some pros and cons of different configurations.

- L2 = Brake
- R2 = Accelerator
- Left Analogue (Left, Right) = Steering
- Right Analogue (Up) = Gear Up
- Right Analogue (Down) = Gear Down
