Race Specifics (Rules for This Specific Event):
  • Solid White Lines denote Track Boundaries except where backed by Blue and White Rumble Strips. No contact with the low curbs that outline the track or the mountain walls.

Steward's Comments:

The C8 Corvette has more than enough power and brakes for this flowing track. Watch out for the curbs, mountain walls and the understeer.

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.

  • You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error.
  • ?For those of you who were used to submitting replays on GT6, you no longer have the ability to export the files.?
  • 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 ### Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week ### Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • If you want to submit multiple times in the week just reply to the conversation with your new time. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.
  • The deadline is Monday, February 20th 2023 11:59pm GMT

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,

Blowing the cobwebs off after a few years away. Very rusty at this point and still dialing into the GT7 physics

Far from done with this one.

Deciding which corners deserve 4th gear and which need 3rd is becoming a key part of the strategy.

Final sector is loads of fun to swing the beast around.

Second proper session, this afternoon.

I don't think there's much left in this one, the fact I'm getting twitchy towards the end of sector 2 when I see the my delta improving is probably keeping me away from achieving closer to my optimal time.

Lots of fun, nonetheless!

The final sector is what sold me with this combo. 😀
 
Man it’s so hard to string a clean and fast lap together here

Sorry for the silly question, but should I be selecting save replay or save best lap replay to be able to submit the lap?

Still a cautious session. I feel I have to be more brave between the tunnels, there's a lot to gain there.

Progress made. There are some tenths here and there, but stringing them along with the rest very good brakings and exits seems quite hard and I'm out of time. Great combo, this is a track where I'm usually doing better than my average level. Don't know why.

Well done to everyone for sticking at this, I found it very tricky to get all 3 sectors hooked up. @Hasnain282 i could have run this for another 6mths and not got anywhere near your time!! Congratulations
