Steward's Comments:
This week we're visiting this lovely city track with beautiful bullet train. This car is fast and absolutely on rails except when trying to extract that last bit out of the combo. so if it ever feels easy you're not pushing hard enough! Good luck and enjoy!

Viewing your 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 Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual T2 split time, 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 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 & T2 time
  • Any settings discussion
full

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 139 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, September 19th 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, :gtpflag:

Guys, full credit to Dutchy, this combo is amazing. 👍

The amount of lateral grip this car has on Sports Hard compound is staggering.

The only tricky parts from a traction perspective are the 2 slowest haripin type corners. Control the throttle there and you are good. :)

I hope to put some time in this one but I am addicted to assetto corsa right now!
 
While I'll have to disagree with the staggering grip I will say it's a very enjoyable combo. I'm not much for the walled city tracks either so...

The car is gorgeous, at least before I banged it off a wall or two or three, gives good buttkicker, especially down low in the rpm range. It also has the added benefit of disabling the clutch pedal on my G27 but still allowing H-gate shifting. Nothing like slapping it from 5th to 3rd or 4th to 2nd with no shift lag happening for the gear between. Try it.

First on the board with

0:36.029
1:02.795

That was 18 laps with the H-gate and BB3/9. Thinking I may go for a 5/10 and see how it acts.
 
Question for track boundaries. White hashes exiting second to last turn, in or out? Been treating it as in and the walls as the boundary and not allowed to hit them.
 
Quick session first splits. The car is rewarding to push. I might read understeer as lateral grip, but I'll say that for the amount of power the car has, it's very easy to control on S1 tires at the limit.

35.789
1:02.555

BB 1/4
 
Controller is in pieces :banghead:, what chances the missus agreeing to getting our seven year old a G27 (or a recomended better alternative) for his birthday next month today, I've been reelly nice to her this month (well today and yesterday)

With a eye on the future i wouldn't go for a g27 since the lack of support on PS4. I'm very happy with the t300 but it costs a bit more. perhaps a g29 or t150 are good alternatives.

The future, particularly GT Sport are definitely needing to be factored into things, as well as PC support for Assetto Corsa, decisions decisions
