  • Generally, the event will enforce most boundary rules. However, your replay is still subject to the below requirements. (The game considering a lap to be clean, does not automatically make it clean).

  • The Green or Yellow astroturf behind the rumbles is NOT Track
  • The (grass)tiles behind the rumbles are NOT Track
  • The White concrete(with orange or red sausagekerbs) Behind the rumbles is NOT Track
  • No Contact with walls or other objects. Any contact with walls, no matter how minor, will result in a DQ.
  • White line denotes track boundary unless where backed by rumble strips.
Steward's Comments:

This week will be the first week we use circuit experience for our Time Trail. Since we're using an Alfa there's always a chance that we're hitching home.

Saving Replays, Viewing sector times and Submissions:
  • For the Circuit Experience events, you need to make sure you use the 'Save Replay', for any lap you want to make sure you have a replay of (See pic below).
  • If you run another lap after setting your fast time, the replay will be overwritten and you will not be able to prove your time.
  • To view your best lap replay, go to "Showcase" on the world map and discover your saved replays in the 'My Library' section. 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 (black flag).
  • 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.

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 GT7 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.

There's a few turns where you can cross the white line after exiting the turn.
Is that allowed?

In general nless specified it's not track and two wheels should be inside the white line. Seeying that the look and feel of the track is not the same as in GTsport an i'm human so i could've missed something obvious, cna you tell/show me the situations. I can then clarify the trackboundaries further and the issue wil be fixed for the oncomming combo's on this track aswell. Thanks in advance.

In sector 3 here:

Also at the last turn.

I'm guessing that it's okay since you're still on the track surface.

I’ve scrapped a few laps where I went over on the first pic, but I’d presume the 2nd pic was ok as there’s curb beyond the white line. Though clarification on both would be great 👍
Thanks for bringing this up. I'll discuss this with the other stewards.

After discussing with stewards, we have decided to implement the white line rule for this combo, and track limits have been modified accordingly. So, unless where backed by rumble strips, white line denotes track limits. Sorry for the confusion.
