Love the car and we've not used this track layout for a TT yet. Figured we'd take the opportunity to bring them together this week. Give it a go, it's a quick, fun lap.

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 and T2 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 189 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 4th 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:

I immediately thought of this track when I saw the combo name, I'm a little surprised to see I was right. Hopefully it's a good omen and this car and track go together really well.
They are well suited.

Don't forget that this car likes to be short shifted. It seems happy with 7,000 RPM, but anything between 7 and 7,500 seems OK. I think it might be faster to string it out going into the second right hand turn (second braking point and the bottom of the 'T'). It gets up close to 8,000, but the spot you shift it is quite awkward and you brake soon after anyhow, so I don't think the shift is needed.

Splits after 10 laps or so -

T2 is going to be a very revealing split this week. I almost did not use it, but T1 only would not have revealed enough.
 
I updated some of the OP boundary rules after discovering the green stuff around the T2 split is not grass, but is instead green painted tarmac. The green stuff is out of bounds. White paint on tarmac is OK.

  • Tarmac, white paint on tarmac, and red and white rumble strips are legal track. No other surfaces are track.
  • The green stuff behind the rumbles in several areas is NOT track.
  • Green Painted Tarmac is NOT track. The white boundary line is in bounds, but the green behind it is out of bounds.
 
Last splits for today. I figured out braking a bit earlier for the first corner and carrying some speed through the apex is faster than trail braking. I downshift after completing the first turn and do not shift back up until the T2 split.

About a match for an LP400... :D
Interesting how early you have to press. I think it would be good for learning and get a feel for weight transfer (the principle) because if you try to do the 'game thing' and slow down from too fast, you will either spin or at least lose a lot of time in punishing the steering wheel.
edit: with the Lamborghini you could power out, albeit still slowed down.

Strange, after a lap I got a minus tenth and change, but on the board it is listed as an identical time, so two of these. The replay sides with the board, too.
 
It took easy 10 minutes to delete all that crap.. the edit function is garbage unfortunately! it was an error and sorry i offended you so bad with a wall of text :scared:

Oops, I just thought a real notification would help.

I noticed it straight after posting it.. when i clicked edit it then went in super slow motion scrolling down to highlight it.. it was super tedious and ended up rolling a cig with my left hand halfway through the process 👎

All good here mate as long as you are over the initial text assault :D:tup:
