  • No Contact with walls or other objects. Any contact with walls, no matter how minor, will result in a DQ.
Steward's Comments:
A grippy Super GT at Suzuka Circuit is just what the doctor ordered after sliding all over in that Shelby last week. No shortage of grip here, with a ton of aero and Racing Medium tires. Have fun chasing down that circuit experience time!

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.

    (Example-)
    1:10.100
  • 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 5 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 5 Remove Entry" and any text in the body.

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.

Had 2 short sessions last night and I'm anything but smooth.

It will take some seat time for me to find the sweet spot in terms of how much speed to carry into corners and using the preferred racing line.
 
If anybody cares to join some online race testing. Don't hesitate to join my lobby. I'm trying things out in a public lobby.

It's also good practice for when you go back to the CE afterwards. ;)

Edit:
Done testing

Online Race thread to race this awesome combo Sat May 14 and Wed May 18 for 26 laps is up.

 
First time doing this and I nearly fell over when I thought everyone’s S3 time was their full lap time. Never felt so unbelonging 😂

S1: 31.072
S2: 48.785
S3: 1:30.708

Definite room for improvement but I’ll take it as my first ever time trial on GTPlanet!

1st trials yesterday...1st sector is quite complicated, regarding sectors shared here i'm around 1.5s from "non alien" drivers....
this gap stay the same for 2nd sector and increase a little bit on 3rd.....
 
I must be doing something right in sector 2 because my time is right up there with the best in this thread, despite my lap time being largely turd.
