Steward's Comments:
From one extreme to another , clear skies of Brands Hatch to Rainy Autumn , Rear engine - Rear wheel drive to Front engine - Front wheel drive.
The hybrid system & automatic transmission should make this pretty challenging. Trying to slow down enought for corners , while keeping the revs high to stay on peak power.

Thanks @Gravitron & @Patrick for the title ideas. :cheers:

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

Submission:
All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 108 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, February 15th 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:

Okay, I take it back, there's no other word for this car except... Crap! Totally unnecessary car to have in the game! However...

12.616
34.050

Could probably stretch 2 tenths out of that T2 time. 👍
 
I took this car to SSRX to see how much slower it is with no charge left / boost and here are the results

Top Speed (on flat) before running out of charge/ hybrid system boost:; 134 mph / 216 km/h

after out of charge : 119 mph / 192 km/h

# of AR Mini - Reverse laps you can do staying on full throttle before out of charge : 2 and a half

Once the charge drops to 1 bar you no longer get the boost and the lap times will get over 1 seconds slower.

With my normal driving I can get around 10 laps , upon red flagging a lap I lift off and let it roll in diwnhill and recharge , getting up to 15 laps


Before posting this I managed to do 32 laps before losing the boost for 1st time.

Got these splits on lap 30 (using DS3) :

12.459
33.609

Left brakes to 5/5 , at start of lap my highest speed so far has been 60 mph / 96 km/h.

Ah, didn't realize this car was FF at first. That makes this even more interesting.

My splits on my first time through

So a wet combo :sly: oh I'm looking forward to this! Just how I drive in real life in Minnesota, On Snow and On Dirt! :sly: Looks Awesome! :cheers:
 
You guys are funny :D I'll bet the combo is a good one. @MadMax's opening split-pics have reached a new level of wizardry. :bowdown: Great test notes on the electrical's. 👍
 
what is this madness I say to myself :confused:
never even heard of the Aqua S untill I saw this :dunce:. Some spare time on my hands this week to 'attempt' to work this puzzle out 👍
