  • Use of the Handbrake is Prohibited.
  • No Contact with walls or other objects. Any contact with walls, no matter how minor, will result in a DQ.
  • Concrete rumbles, concrete apron at both chicanes, and tarmac are legal track. 2 tires in the grass is legal.


Steward's Comments:
Great find from @mr_lab_rat

"The title stands for Camaro SS on SS tires. Any association with cheeseburgers or coffee is purely incidental.

Don't be afraid of the high PP number. This touring car is quite tame considering the raw V8 power."

Viewing your T1 & T2 Time Splits:
  • You need to make sure you save the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below)
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Home' and watch the replay from there using the 'Gallery' option.
  • Live timing monitor does not work properly, so we have to use a small trick to view splits.
  • While viewing your Replay, pause the lap by hitting start, before the end of the first sector.
  • While keeping the replay paused, advance the replay, using the forward arrow on the replay HUD. This will advance the replay to the end of the first sector. That's your T1 split, write it down.
  • Advance the replay again. That will show the lap to date time on the screen, this is your first and second sector time, added together.
  • To post your T1 & T2 Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual split times, the Fetchbot will do that for you.

Standard Clean OLR Rules:

  • At Least 2 Tires must be in contact with track at all times.

    • In situations where contact with the track is not possible because tires are airborne (above the ground), then the run is only legal if at least two tires in-line would have made contact with the track if the car were not airborne.
    • If track contact cannot be 100% determined, then consider it dirty.
  • Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track.
  • No contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
  • If you're not 100% sure that your lap is clean, then consider it dirty
  • No hybrids
  • No cheating of any kind,these are relaxed races and we are experienced racers, we know what times can be done,and we can read your mind. We will know.
  • Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules.

Thread rules:
The following information cannot be discussed in this thread (they can, however, be discussed on MSN or via other private conversation methods):
  • Total Lap Time
  • Any information which can be used to infer your total laptime
The following information can be discussed in this thread :
  • The first 2 splits: T1 and T2 times
  • Any settings discussion
full



Submission:
All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 105 Submission ) to (WRSFetchbot):
  • Then attach your 'Best Lap'/'Ghost' replay in zip file form. Everyone submits a replay instead of listing a lap time.
  • You will need to put something in the message body in order to begin a conversation. It doesn't matter what you put, it can even be 1 letter or symbol. Nobody but the Fetchbot is going to see it, so it's sort of pointless, anyhow.
  • 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 XX Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • If you want to submit multiple times in the week that is still not a problem. Just reply to the conversation with your new time and new replay. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • See this screenshot as an example on how to submit:

  • The deadline is Monday, January 25th 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:
  • Everyone is required to submit a replay for verification. This happens when you submit to the Fetchbot, and the replays will be visible in the leaderboard, once we've reached the event deadline
  • Participants will be expected to check each others' replays for cleanliness, for replays marked in the Results thread as (Check Needed)
  • Video replays are not accepted as a form of verification

Good luck, :gtplanet:

Just had a quick go on this combo and I like it, just hope I get more than a few hours doing this week.

36.666
1:21.700

For a change I thought I post the splits first.
 
35.835
1'20.726

Whomever thought this combo up, you are now my hero 👍:bowdown:. I could wish for a different track or two but, this'll do donkey, this'll do.
There's all kinds of time out there, even for me. I plan to go find some of it this week.

On a side note, the concrete areas at the 2 shikenz. Track or not?

Just bought this car and ran about 60 miles with only change being install SS tyres.
Submitted replay to check settings.
Got response from fetchy . . .

Errors:
TorqueRear setting is invalid
AccelerationRear setting is invalid
BrakingRear setting is invalid
 
Looks like a fun combo guys! I'll be back next week for more time trials! Looking forward to it! :cheers:
 
Submitted lap to check (another 'new' Camaro) and got same error

Errors:
TorqueRear setting is invalid
AccelerationRear setting is invalid
BrakingRear setting is invalid

Had a look at LSD and it is still stock ) greyed out
 
same here, but:
I bought the full flexible setup and then did not change the default pre-set values: Accepted.

I continue with the greyed out values.
 
Knocked a hair less than 2 seconds off total time. Still more I think I can get.

35.315
1'19.115

Will submit this replay in case life gets in the way of further efforts.
Did the bot stop being finicky yet? Reckon I'll know in a few minutes.

I won't be able to fix it until I get home, at least 3hrs from now. Sorry folks, most likely my mistake.

All good man. If we submit before you fix it, will the replay be allowed anyway, or will we have to resubmit? Dinner bell rang as I was getting the replay prepped so....

Afraid we can't do that. Only way to make that work would be to drop all checks for the next few hours, effectively possibly allowing illegal settings during that window.

Roger that. I'll wait then. 👍
 
First splits after a few laps. I'm sure there's plenty of time to be found once I learn how to turn and stop this barge.... I meant big american muscle car:)

Had a brief go and got 34.6 1'18.9 but crashed immediately afterwards. Hoping that my cold will clear up soon as it's already made me miss one week... :grumpy:

On a happier note, try changing the mic position to exterior in the pause menu, it sounds very nice.

That's the mic I use also. Sounds good. This car sounds good at idol too. But,when watching my replay in exterior view,the sound is different,it has a whine to it which I think sound even better. Does anyone know which mic position that is?
