Race Specifics? (Rules for This Specific Event):
  • Generally, the event will enforce most boundary rules. However, your replay is still subject to the below requirements. (The game considering a lap to be clean, does not automatically make it clean).
  • Red and White Rumble Strips and Tarmac are Track Surface. No other surfaces are track.
  • The Green Stuff Behind the rumbles is NOT Track
  • No Contact with walls or other objects. Any contact with walls, no matter how minor, will result in a DQ.

Steward's Comments:
So here we are, GT7. Revisiting a favorite track of mine, and one we used for the GT5 introduction to WRS. This car is a dream drive here, and we should be able to flood our respective friend boards with some great times. Have fun!

Saving Replays, Viewing sector times and Submissions:
  • For the license events, you need to make sure you use the 'Save Replay', for any lap you want to make sure you have a replay of (See pic below).
  • If you run another lap after setting your fast time, the replay will be overwritten and you will not be able to prove your time.
  • To view your best lap replay, go to "Showcase" on the world map and discover your saved replays in the 'My Library' section. 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 (black flag).
  • 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.

Thread rules:

The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on Discord or via other private IM service.):
  • 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 GT7 before the deadline, your full lap time will be considered to be shared publicly which contravenes our rules.
  • We understand you will be able to see lap times of those on your friends list. That will just have to be acceptable for us to set up events that allow us to restrict tuning, car settings, etc.
The following information can be discussed in this thread :
  • The first 2 sectors: T1 and T2 times.
  • Any settings discussion.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 1 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.
  • 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 1 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 1 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, April 18th 2022 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 GT7 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.

Good luck,

BB +1 (tried -1 to +2, nothing felt as good as +1)

Went until I beat the time I set while just playing through the game, and quickly realised I’d kinda pushed first time around, only .022 faster after nearly the daily marathon. Will keep trying to find more time over the week though.
 
Yes, we’re back!! Sadly I’m away for 2 weeks now on holiday but I’ll psyche myself up for a first attempt when I’m back. I assume I don’t need to run a qualifier again?
No qualifier, we will place you in a division based on your results in the events.
 
22.873

Not much of an improvement (in overall time, worse time at the second split), but I needed to fix the splits apparently. Entering them this way is a bit awkward when there’s only one lap as I’m having to pull the splits from what flashes onscreen in the replay. :lol:
 
If you view your replay while in the license event and it does not flash your splits go to the showcase pavilion and watch it there and the splits will be provided.

A big thank you to everyone at the WRS team for all the hard work for getting this up and running in GT7 and maintaining it all these years. I am very grateful this series exists, without it there is no end game content for me nor would I be part of a great community of clean racers.

Hi everyone, it's been a while.
I got GT7 for my PS4 Pro and have been having fun with it when I saw this and remembered how much fun and addictive it was, so I had a go.
I don't have as much time as I used to but I'll try to enter every week.
My best splits so far:

22.865
25.164

Hey fellas! I had a quick session before dinner.

22.970
25.244

I was a touch late on the brakes for the last turn, there's maybe a tenth there, but the exit was good enough I guess. BB and TCS 0. I really want to make BB+1 work, but she says no :(

@EDK Can you update my PSN ID for the splits leaderboard? I've dropped the 'GTP_' part so i'ts just 'Jump_Ace'.

IMPORTANT CHANGE!

From now on you don't need to do the split time calculation anymore! I've changed the implementation to reflect the GT7 way of showing splits.

So instead of posting:

22.970
25.244

Now you need don't need to do the calculation anymore!
So, for example, now you can just post something like this:

22.970
48.214

And Fetchy will do the calculation for you :)
 
It’s good to be back! Thanks to @EDK and everyone involved in getting it up and running again.
Initial laps to get onto the board

23.594
49.603

Also my PSN I’d changed a while ago, but on the last ones I notice it still showed my old Id on the leaderboard. My new id is DonNerazzurri666
