Steward's Comments:
This event is the brain child of @PASM and @GTP_Dutchy . The TT combo is also the platform for a 2.4 hour online special event at the same track.

The WRS turns 15 today, the first TT was posted exactly 15 years ago today. I am personally proud to have been a participant and organizer in this series for more than 10 years, and the participants themselves are what make the WRS what it is. Thanks to all of you for showing up every week and supporting our series.

For this event, you will have your choice of cars, and results will be posted separately for each class. So don't be concerned that you need to use the 919 to post a top time, but instead simply compete against others in your class. Please keep in mind that the leaderboard is not equipped to handle multiple classes, so the times will be intermingled. It will be helpful if you can post the car you are using along with your splits.

All of these cars fit the track like a glove. It's appropriate that we use our anniversary celebration to welcome Porsche to Gran Turismo and use the Nurburgring for the first time on GT Sport as well.

Get some laps in, have fun, and be sure to check out the details for our online special event!

Some comments from GTP_Dutchy:
GTP_Dutchy
A few weeks ago, I saw @PASM practicing with an LMP1 on the ring and I thought it was absolutely insane. But then i gave it a try and saw how addictive the combo was.

A truly epic combo combing old with new. Multi class cars and therefore a great suit for every driver whether you're just starting out and don't know the ring that well, or you're an seasoned vet that's looking for a challenge this big celebratory event has everything to give you your fix.

We wish everyone a nice anniversary event with lots of joy and good track action. On to the next 15 years of online awesomeness!

Viewing Your Sector Times:
  • 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 Library' and watch the replay from there using the 'Replays' option.
  • While viewing your Replay, enter the live timing screen to view your sector 1 and sector 2 splits. You will need to do this after your car has passed the second split location.
  • 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.

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 GT Sport 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 (Check Needed)
  • Video/Youtube/Twitch replays are not accepted as a form of verification
Good luck, :gtplanet:

Get in! Can't wait to get going with this one! Only going to be able to make the feature race so need to get my car choice sorted quickly as well!

Grinning like a Cheshire cat here! :D :D :D :D
Hey Andrew, please do give the qually part on the online event a thorough read since everyone competing in the feature race needs to attend a mandatory Qually session.

Let me know if you have any questions after that.
 
I don't really know what the deal is going to be on the results... if you don't have a top tier runner in each class its gonna skew the results and the handicaps...

I'm going to be in Switzerland or on my back from the airport when the qualification races are happening.... No possible solution at all please?

You'd be surprised, not every fast guy is going to pick the fastest car.

We did it before, back in week 63 of GT5, also tied to a special event.

http://wrs.gtplanet.net/GT5/week/63/

Twissy and Yanaran were at the top on the Prototype, but Turismo Lester was there to lead the GT Class, and he's no slouch.

Besides that, you would also be surprised at the way the board takes the results variance into account.

We will have races on the 24th, 28th and the 3rd before the main event. Will you be gone on all of those dates?
 
Thought I'd post splits on my first clean lap (which took me about an hour). :lol:

23.436
28.656
25.975
24.963
45.670
34.230
28.969
51.445
40.045

Cayman.

A happy coincidence with the 15th Anniversary choice of combo for me. My first official WRS TT was week 26 of GT6, but I had been competing *in the shadows* for a few weeks before that and my first unofficial WRS TT was Week 22, BRZ at Nurburgring 24h. I recall that my finishing time was in the D3 Silver class and I was exceedingly happy with that.:)
 
Happy anniversary WRS! You seem to be in pretty good hands :)

After the ring rats sessions today, I had to have a go at this. So after 2x4 race laps, did only 2 TT laps, but already pretty happy with the time.

Running Gr3 and still not good with those, so got TC on 2. So far bb on 0.

22.060
26.612
24.174
23.202

32.327

Happy birthday WRS :cheers:
Been here since 2011 and have loved every minute of it. I consider many people here my friends (You know who you are lol) and the fact they are fast, squeaky clean racers is just a bonus.
Ah, yeah, if you know me, you know Nurburgring is where I live :D
