Steward's Comments:

I know for some it's borderline heresy, but I like Brands Hatch a lot better than Silverstone. And I really wish F1 would race there instead. There, wish come true. Have fun!

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.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 146 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 146 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 146 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, September 14th 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,

Auto or manual ?
Not driven this type of car a lot so just wondering if auto is better. One less thing to be distracted by as they are so fast!!
Click to expand...

True it's way too much shifting. But manual for me so I can control car rotation by downshifting extra when needed. Also I think this car may have to be short shifted, not sure yet.

DRS allowed.

Cheers 👍, not worth much on this track but good to know anyways.

@Philtaylor17 was only marginally faster with it.

And we were winding the car all the way out when testing. Way past redline.

That's a margin I intend to take :lol:

Oh rly, okay, I just assumed based on power and torque curves (torque drops off, was wondering if short shifting helped in slower corners). But if it's to be revved then that's cool too, this thing has too many gears.
 
Yeah the DRS was worth a tenth or two maximum from what I remember, not going to drop you a second all of a sudden but it's worth mapping if you haven't already in my opinion.

Not sure on shift rpm, I think i just revved it out too, but you don't get that lap time ^ / v thing online so its hard to tell whats best
 
Looks really cool this one 👍 Unfortunately the replacement screen I want is not the same as the one I just sent back.. Hoping it's in stock tomorrow with luck and get to try this combo out to christen it ;) No way I'm attempting it on this tiny screen! Raced the Nurb quali the other day on it and it was terrible 👎:lol:

Have fun guys! I'll defo join when my dragged out delivery gets here :cheers:
 
Final splits for today I think and a temporary submission.

12.906
9.646
9.311
13.864

Same as before BB-0 and shift at the redline.

Love the speed of this car, so much fun to hang on to it round here, feel like I'm closer to the limit now, not a whole lot left more just chasing half tenths.

Quite enjoyable once you get used to the 8 gears:crazy:

Final splits for the night from me
Big improvements and beat personal goal for the day

14.061
10.132
9.428
15.033

BB @ -2
TCS @ 1
Starting to get the hang of shifting early, to take into account the power and torque curves of the engine.

Personally I prefer Donington, much more challenging especially if it's the full track. Though the short track without the loop is still great to race on.
My favorite British track of all time is a little known one (unless you follow Superbike races, that is) called Oulton Park.
Anyone that's been there, done a track day there, raced there, will all say it's a classic track that has so many difficult corners to master, it's fantastic.

Of all the cars to have to try that with :lol:

Seriously how are you managing that? :crazy:
Click to expand...

I am basically balancing upright WHILE turning the car and shifting gears. It hasn't been without its mistakes (Sliding off for example, that's when it really goes wrong :lol:), but it's somewhat manageable.

I think you should get a second knocked off for that :lol:

Until recently I used a fairly basic portable stand, they're not perfect ( and you kind of need carpet for it ) but good enough, and a big big upgrade on a desk in my opinion ( mainly because you can adjust it from a height point of view and the pedals are in the right place relative to the wheel. ) They're pretty cheap, about £60ish on eBay.

If your willing to spend a bit more and/or have the room the Playseat is great for the price, I really feel like I'm able to drive much more consistently now I'm using it, helps a lot in races.
 
Wow this thing is really twitchy! ... anyway got my new screen today and tried some laps to get a feel, Unfortunately there's no way I can map and effectively use a DRS button as there's just too much gearing and the straights are made so short in this rocket and by the time I remember it's to late! :lol: so I will be running with no drs lazy old man style haha :D:tup:

13.162
9.766
9.508
14.264

I still have some more time left to get.. but Phil looks like he is running the Indy track going by those sectors :P Wicked splits mate :bowdown:
 
Pigpin13
After a 45 lap run, I got a section 1 split I’m proud of. My optimal says I need to keep trying. :eek:
Click to expand...

Trust me, I know how right you have to get the first sector to get that split time, especially turn 1 - great Job dude, all of those splits you should be proud of :cheers:

Stryker13
First go at this TT.
Gotta trust downforce a lot more.

Yeah this thing is a confidence car, you have to really commit to every corner, so much fun though :dopey:

Thanks Ron :cheers:, I'm sure you will catch them with some more miles. There's about another .1 left for me I think now.

With DRS you could try mapping it to circle or triangle on the G29, I use triangle and its pretty easy to use now, its not night and day speed difference but I think you will find you go faster using it, enough that its worth mapping for sure.
