  • Red and White Rumble Strips and Tarmac are Track Surface. No other surfaces are track.
  • Concrete and tarmac painted green is not track.

Steward's Comments:

The Diablo is a lot better behaved than it's name implies, while still having enough crazy to make getting the perfect lap at Barcelona quite a challenge. Enjoy!

Saving Replays, Viewing sector times and Submissions:
  • You need to make sure you use the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below).
  • Before saving your replay ensure that you continue running after completing your fast lap until at least the end of first sector. This will ensure you have a complete replay.
  • 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 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.
  • 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 Skype 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 GT Sport before the deadline,your full lap time will be considered to be shared publicly which contravenes our rules. Even if you've only shared with Friends.

  • Any settings discussion.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 132 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.
  • For those of you who were used to submitting replays on GT6, you no longer have the ability to export the files.
  • 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 132 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 132 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, June 8th 2020 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 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 (Replay Verify Required).
  • Video/Youtube/Twitch replays are not accepted as a form of verification.

Good luck,
:gtplanet: & The WRS team.
 
Yay!
Registration completed, I can start racing again.

Though I have yet to find the settings to fit my zimmer into the boot/trunk?

Might improve the weight transfer when trail braking into the longer corners. Lol

BTW not a newbie, just took some time out for life, love, family, injuries and ops.


Neil, Bttw, Tyre King.
 
Finally Finished with finals and grading.

This is what you offer?

I hate Lambos. If they are anything like this IRL remind me not to buy one.

Maybe I will spend my time getting ready for Thursday.
 
Best I have so far is
33.060
45.468

Neil

UPDATE
best completed lap sectors (took 1.5 seconds off total best lap time even though the first split is slower)
33.217
45.450

optimum lap splits (with another .4 off total lap time)
33.081
45.450

So if i can string the optimum times together????? :banghead::crazy:

Sort of coming to a setup that is starting to work for me, was never the best at tuning the dif and suspension, it's all a bit trial and error (more error) at the mo.

Neil
You can double the triple post to update splits, the bot will only grab new posts.

What you CAN'T do however, is tune.

The car needs to be stock. Brake balance and anything else that can be adjusted in the HUD while driving, that's it.

Oh my mistake i think?
My understanding was that the power and the weight had to remain stock, no where in the instructions for the race does it state the suspension tuning etc was not permitted. All it says is that :

Driving Options:
  • Transmission: Auto or Manual
  • Tires: Sport Soft (front and rear)
  • Driving Line, Cones, Markers: Optional
  • Traction Control | ASM | ABS: Optional
  • Brake Balance: Optional
  • Countersteering Assist: Prohibited
  • Tuning: No Tuning Allowed: Power and weight are to be stock.
  • In-Race Multi-Function Display (MFD) Functions: Optional
  • Custom Wheels: Allowed if available
  • Paint and Racing #: Livery editor Allowed if available
I was working under the illusion that as long as the power and weight were un-touched, then all else was fair game. As it used to be when i used to race on here.

Fine, i will scrap all my times posted and start again. :banghead:

Sorry, we do no tuning most weeks, and I think that's gotten a bit abbreviated over time.

But I think we have the power and weight are to be stock because other people took no tuning to mean, "no suspension adjustments, but do whatever you want with power and weight.

It gets to be a bit lengthy and overwhelming to list -

Tuning -

Power - Stock
Weight - Stock
Suspension - Stock
LSD - Stock
Transmission - Stock.

etc.
 
cool, now i know.
What about Active stability management in the driving options? I assume its to be OFF? Especially in this car, which didn't have anything of the kind.

Not trying to be a pain, just i want to get things right from the outset. Kinda anal that way, i suppose.
Sorry

ASM can be used. Only driving aid you cannot use is countersteering assist.
 
OK, that explains why i am struggling to get this monster round corners on the power, when other are't.

Point it into the entry of a corner, turn the wheel, and mash the right pedal. Let the game stop the arse of the car stepping out.
Takes the shine off playing a 'real racing simulator' IMHO

Never mind...........When in Rome...:boggled:

On second thoughts................Nah, i will manage without. :bowdown::gtpflag:

I seriously doubt anyone of the top of the board participants are using any aids other than ABS.

The game physics have changed drastically since GT4, and will take some getting used to.

This car is going to be a particular challenge, the supercars in general are very difficult to drive fast.

A lot of your pace will be in how you brake and how you release the brake.
 
OK then
New splits
33.288
45.352

messed up last corner before final chicane and lost 0.7 in final sector from best time.
 
Not usually my thing cars that drive like an old WWII
tank.gif
but gave it a go anyway... Man this thing is super heavy and the braking zones are stadium lengths!!! But.. in a weird way I actually like the challenge of trying to tame this beast to the best of my abilities. I'm miles off the front runners pace at the moment but will defo have some more laps asap :cheers:

32.669
44.121
I can hopefully chip some more off next session 👍 Good luck to all and Enjoy wrestling this monster
