Steward's Comments:
A bunch WRSers are meeting up at Le Mans this year, so we decided to give them a tribute to the occasion. Something a little different with one of the late 90's GT-1 homologated cars, a unique era in the history of the 24 hour race. Thanks to @roamer2629 @Meister Fetz and @randy1122 for their help in testing the combo. 👍

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 5 splits: T1 through T5 times
  • Any settings discussion

Splits Sharing

  • WRS Participants have traditionally shared splits as a way to reveal their pace without providing the full lap time until the event deadline. Posting of splits is not mandatory, but is considered fair sportsmanship.
  • WRS Admins reserve the right to request posting of splits from members who show a pattern of avoidance or deception in this area.
  • If you fail to comply with a direct request from an admin to post splits for a current or future event, we reserve the right to disqualify your lap from the results.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 178 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, June 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:

Track limits... first of all, a simple 'stay in bounds' and don't hit the cones should be enough. But after looking at the photos, I find the three pertaining to the approach, entry and exit to Mulsanne corner to be confusing. Why is it okay to drive out of bounds here and not anywhere else?

I did not make the thread, I just moved it over from the background section.

But it looks to me like some of the photos showing up on the left are the "dirty" pictures, without a clean counterpart.

I would say those two Mulsanne pics represent dirty, with the rumble being the track limit on the first one and the line being the limit on the second.
 
Called it. Most likely unable to run this week as I've done my knee in.
 
opening splits. Still a lot of time to be found out there for me.

32.420
1:08.204

Did I read the OP right, only two sector times out of six?

Hi mate, I think that it just default says that, In my experience, and someone feel free to correct me, you need to enter all your splits, all but the final actual lap time

I'm about to go out for my first run too! Just a quick 30 mins or so
 
jammy21
At the moment only t1 & t2.

It should be 5 splits, it's likely a copy paste error for when the thread got made.

I am changing it in the thread here, but I think @JoostBaksteen needs to break the week open in the board to change that, so it might take a little time.

I almost give up, 100 miles in and managed three white laps

The difference between this, and whizzing around in the kart, is massive!

Thumbs up to all that can manage this without binning it at least 100 times in every sector by the end of the week
:))

That's regular when learning this track in such a car.
Not a track to start overpowering. Take it easy and try to get faster where you already learned what to do. lap by lap. Takes a while. Keep up to it. If you get it to happiness within the week you'll have learned a lot for any other combo...
First 2 splits from memory after my short test run in this car:
30.950
1'05.670
Loads of time left. 5 easy laps done in this on rm.
 
Thematic
That's a long digibarf from the bot, that went something like this:

etc.

Gosh, which car were you using?
I can certainly sympathise with the wrong track as I was just running the 2009 version and realised after a few laps.

The third one is Kevin (Dutchy) unless my tiredness is really catching up with me, I'd guess Bart (PASM) would be there, so maybe far left based on age, Vaxen could be the one furthest right of shot seeing as he's away, although that's a bit of a wild stab. Same with the last person, although Stefan does appear to have liked the post first... I'd be happy to have got one guess right and not pissed anyone off, honestly. :lol:

Edit: of course, I've missed out the obvious possibility that it's just Kevin and his drinking buddies. :sly: But I think I remember seeing a post about some WRS members meeting at Le Mans... Did I imagine that? Edit 2: nope, OP of this thread, I really need to sleep. :dopey:

Haha, great post :lol::lol::lol:
 
Car model improved from GT5? Guessing because my understanding is that "detailed ext only" models were introduced for GT6, and I don't think I had it on there (even for GT6 I just got it).
