Steward's Comments:

Staying in Italy this week but with a change of pace from the first two events. A shame that PD didn't make this car a premium model since its a real classic and Europe's first turbo charged production car, although only 1672 of them were made in the oil-tight 70s.

Its just tail happy enough on C3s round this fast and fun street circuit and will still test your nerve through the high speed stuff. Have fun....

:cheers:
Chris

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 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 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 & T2 times
  • Any settings discussion.

Submission:

All submissions must be sent by PM (Subject title: GTP_WRS Week 3 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 body: "get entry"
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the body of "remove entry".
  • 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, February 10th 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

My knowledge of cars is apparently worse than my knowledge of Roman Numerals, as I instantly wondered why this week was called 1973-2002. :dunce:
 
Oh hey! You changed your avatar Chris!
Yeah - its the same eye but with more face. :P

...but you know now then? :sly:
When you say tail happy, I think oh no.

But I shall give this a good go and hope I can keep it off the walls.
Its controllable but with an over-steer balance, not like the FXX. Gentle steering inputs but plenty of traction. 👍
 
Feels weird after 2 weeks on very fast cars, should be a blast though.

Now a time that will surely put me in first(until someone else posts splits).

This looks like fun, what a contrast to the last TT

Can you please confirm Intake can be upgraded from 'standard' to 'Intake tuning'
and 'exhaust manifold' can be changed to 'isometric'
but the 'exhaust' section cannot be changed from standard?

Sorry to be picky but I don't want to start with the wrong set up
Thank you @Vagabond

Correct 👍
EDK
This combo has been EDK approved lovingly and carefully selected. ;)
Just so you are all aware, this is a Kevin Kombo. 👍 Mine will mostly be 600bhp+ on S1s. :mischievous: [/jk]

This is more my cup of tea - love city tracks and walls! ;)

Had 15 laps the the DS3 - will have a go with the wheel tonight :)

@EDK is my hero!

Up-sized custom rims and wheel paint is ok I assume? This thing looks quite cool in Yas Marina blue
