Steward's Comments:

Kicking off the 2023 motor race season with a return to the 24 Hours of Daytona. Mind the wet grass and curbs while on the throttle.

Saving Replays, Viewing sector times and Submissions:
  • You need to make sure you use the 'Save Best Lap Replay' (ghost replay), not the 'Save Replay' (See pic below).
  • Before saving your replay ensure that you continue running after completing your fast lap until at least the end of first sector. This will ensure you have a complete replay.
  • To view your best lap replay, go to 'My Library' and 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.
  • 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 youre still unsure, check it again, ask for a second opinion and if youre 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 Although GMT has been replaced by atomic time (UTC) it is still widely regarded as the correct time for every international time zone.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.

Good luck,
:gtplanet: & The WRS team.
 
Not aggressive enough in the bus stop, though that last bit of rumble strip on the inside of the exit starts very late.

Finally, a track I like.
This just a quick warm-up session
I can work with that for sure
 
No new splits (too early), but I found out that, in a trade with the Le Mans folks, the bus stop is now the "Le Mans Chicane", in exchange for the first Mulsanne chicane now known as "Daytona Chicane".

Sketchy second sector and plain bad bus stop. There's plenty of time to be picked up here yet.
 
Daytona isn't a track I would normally enjoy, but last week's Nations challenge in the 787B has given me enough practice to at least feel like I know the thing. Funnily enough, my one and only session for this TT lasted the same number of laps as the aforementioned race before I threw in the towel with these sectors...

I like this track because it has two REALLY important corners and several not-so important ones. As such, I was relieved that my previous best-but-dirty lap was falling down in places I knew were easy to improve on. Once I had a banker I just needed to nail those two big ones and I'd settle for something mediocre, but way quicker than my early optimum would've suggested I was capable of.

Spending 1m credits on this car and not an ounce of regret. Great fun to drive, and the traction in 2nd gear is something I'm just not used to in this category of race car. Nice!

Nice summary 😊

The final push. Less than ideal bus stop prevented me from getting my target laptime, but well, time's up.
I wonder if my slim advantage over @benjoi84 will bleed out to the finish line. I was saving myself from breaking track boundary on the exit from bus stop and I did it, just. There's also the factor of wind over final bend, in my case it was favourable on the bus stop exit, but headwind in the final part before finish line. Let's see what happens.

I like Daytona a lot, it's a proper racetrack, counter-clockwise. With this car it is a joy to drive.
Hoping that Indianapolis would be added in future updates...
