Steward's Comments:
We've used 3 rear-wheel-drive cars here, it's time to go off-roading. :D Thanks to @PASM for the car choice. :cheers: Happy 2017!!!


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 MSN 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 and T2 times
  • Any settings discussion
full



Submission:
All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 155 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, January 9th 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, :gtplanet:

phew, something is going terribly wrong here. Fighting the first sector, in the replay it looks perfect, but with a fourtythree.nine more than two seconds away. Is driving this car (maybe the 4wd?) something special?

cheers,
D.
 
Been a bit lazy on these lately, new years resolution 'must put work in'
Belsted Happy new year to all.

The sound of the tyres getting tortured is strangely appealing, nice combo 👍

Hi,

this area after the last corner, just before the start/finish-line:

Ascari Gesamtstrecke.jpg

is this tarmac=legal trac or is the lap dirty?

cheers,
D.
 
After thirty minutes running

42.643
1:36.426

Thick end of a second down after a 40 odd second first sector :nervous:
Admittedly plenty of turns and direction changes in t1 to lose time in but there are even more in the final sector :nervous: :nervous:

Even with some work I feel a good old fashioned butt whooping coming on, goddam pesky aliens everywhere :bowdown:
 
Haha funny pic 8l23ub :D

It's all about that first chicane mate.. approach the chicane in 5th and as soon as you touch the rumble on the left hand side stab the brakes and drop to 4th for a tiny moment then to 3rd quick to get the front of the car to turn in for the chicane and back up to 4th as you are in the middle of the chicane for a fast exit and the rest is just basic lines using the rumbles for the rest of the track 👍

hope you understand that and hope it helps :cheers:

oh yeah BB 5/4 works well ;)

Hi,

@DeuxMilles I'm going to say dirty, the Op says concrete apron at chican's is legal but doesn't say that it's legal everywhere.

damn :D

Now I got a clean lap, clooooooose but clean:

1:37.134

but when I post it (I always post early to see if something goes wrong) Fetchy says "Submission for week 155 is REJECTED!

Errors:
Driver setting is invalid
Psn setting is invalid

Please make sure to attach a valid Gran Turismo replay, as described on the forums.

You can create a new conversation with the attached replay(s)."

I invited @EDK to the conversation, is that ok?

Cheers,
D.

My bad, I'll fix it shortly.
 
After 10 minutes blew my ghost away through the first chicane trying the @Mr P advice 👍 and spent the rest of the lap laughing/being scared

No work tommorow gonna be all over this bad boy

do you mean the very first chicane, right after the startline? I can't brake at the point where the rumble on the left begins, that's much much to late. What do I misunderstand?

cheers,
D.
 
I had to boot my PS3 to find the answer as my post was done from memory and obviously it's not as sharp as it used to be :P

anyway I stab the brakes at the 100m marker and drop and roll in 4th until i hit the left hand rumble and then i drop to 3rd to flick the car into the chicane and gear up to 4th halfway in the chicane 👍

sorry I was slightly off with my post yesterday :embarrassed:
 
Too bad I'm not able to put some serious effort into this. Love the track.
Unfortunately I'll only find a short opportunity on Monday. I hope... powder first and the white magic is finally coming big time from the sky :P
 
Hi,

I give up for this week. Don't get the point how to set fast laps here.

C ya next week, I filled my credits up for the 20-million-dollar-baby :gtpflag:

cheers,
D.
