Steward's Comments:

This week we're at a sweet spot in GT6's race car lineup: the Alfa Romeo GIULIA TZ2. At a track we know very well from WRS week 1 and the GT Academy. The Alfa is a dream to drive, very controllable on the Comfort Soft tires, courtesy of the extreme diet this car had. Weight saving is always a theme with Zagato-built sports cars, this tubular framed monster is no exception.

To refresh your memory, here is @Tidgney's excellent guide to the Apricot Hill Raceway using the Nissan 370Z:



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 Skype or via other private IM service.):
  • 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 119 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, May 2nd 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

How do I block myself from accessing this site :lol: only popped in for a look and I'm already trying to plan some free time for this TT. Once again you guys come up with a great combo 👍 (wait till I try it, may end up changing my mind ;))


btw theres no link to the thread on the leaderboard
 
Tried a few laps on this to test my new G29 wheel and it's so different under braking compared to the DFGT :ouch: so many times I put my foot on the brake and it doesn't even show on the display they are so heavy.. will need some time to adjust and will probably have legs like arnie within a week :D So far I'm down to

1'04.663

Hopefully I can figure these brakes out before the deadline.. Good luck to all :cheers:

I had the same experience going from DFGT to G25 pedals, and @EDK just laughed at me. :lol: Also started walking a bit different after a week.

Careful, my g29 I just bought in November went kaput on me last week. But on a good note logitech is sending me a new one!
 
FINALLY.

SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY HAS BRAKES AND CAN TAKE CORNERS AT MORE THAN 5 MPH.

*instantly dives out of the Hyundai and gets in the Alfa, only to have it start pouring out smoke 5 feet after setting off*

I am there mike
 
Nice combo.I'm really enjoying the way this car drives,👍 But,every lap I tell myself "don't overdrive the hairpin" and on a fast lap I say the same thing to myself and then I overdrive the hairpin:banghead::banghead::banghead:

31.176
1:04.542:dunce: overdrove the crap out of the hairpin:banghead::banghead: :lol::lol:

BB 4/7 tried lower front brake bias but I kept over driving the hairpin so I raised it some.

I might be in love with this car. I think the grip level is spot on. The car is so communicative about when she's almost running out of grip and when she loses grip she doesn't starts yelling oversteering and being bitchy like a" I want to speak to the manager" type of girl. No this one is very forgiving, she lets you correct her beatifully. With that being said. I'm still a guy and I'm gonna jam the pulp out of those apricots.

P.s. I like how this title implies something sexual but you can't quite put the finger down on wich part, implies it.
