Sharp eyes, Nizzy! Thanks for all the effort you put in 👍
Even though the mirror is at one moment in the wall, no speed drop occurs.
Knowing previous GT's had 'invisible' walls, the criterium of a speed drop has become leading. Since there's no speed drop to be seen or heard, this run will be counted as valid.

Please all, remember to scrutinize your own run before submission. Make sure you're convinced it's 100% clean, or otherwise submit your 2nd fastest run. It's better to submit a 'slow' lap that is clean, than a fast one that is invalid

Sorry for the hassle I caused you. Being new to WRS I wasn't aware of how previuos gt games worked, and how it would affect this.

I am glad everything worked out for you Poolhaas. Nizzy, as I said before, you were following the rules as they seemed to be stated. I commend you for your effort in verifying the laps. It is much easier to just give someone a green flag and move on.. But you did what is asked and truly watched the lap. Not easy to find the right camera angle. It takes time and effort.
:tup:Nizzy
:tup:for Poolhaas lap being ok. I didn't check my lap for mirror touch, and I am sure a lot of others didn't either. It was definitely a gray area this week.
Going forward, are we supposed to look for mirror touches? Are mirror touches not a DQ in themselves, but a wall touch that affects the car is a DQ. Am I on the right track?

Same here. Well said. Three thumbs up for Nizzy, poolhaas, and you for putting it so well. 👍 👍 👍
Personally, I'm glad for poolhaas because I never thought the lap was submitted with dubious intention.
From what I understand Hugo Boss to be saying is that yes, a mirror touch is ok if you can show there was no speed loss. If the data logger is available that too will used, but simply taking a picture of game anomalies between the physics engine and the graphics rendering will not in and of itself result in a DQ. The game is not perfect, yet.
Also, the fastest drivers and the cleanest drivers are one and the same. It is your responsibility to provide a clean replay, because your credibility rests on that. If you are not sure, don't submit it.
Race On!

I think I just found my new best friend. Did that just happen? (Step Brothers reference, sort of).
There are so many moments while on these forums, where I am glad to be a part of this community. Cheers to all of you fellow WRS'ers and to all the admins that make all this possible. Great stuff!
I wish all forums could be like this.

It's not a hassle! The whole admin team is very grateful for all you players that help in verifying each others replays. If somebody spots a close call, we only have to check that particular run and give our verdict.
That not only saves us time, but I also believe you contribute to the friendly and laidback atmosphere here by checking replays of your fellow racers. If mods have to check all the replays, they most likely won't have time to give compliments and tips to an individual driver. So please don't be afraid to question a run, it's the admins who have to make the final. Also the more replays you watch, the more you can learn
Thanks all and keep it up 👍

Also, I try and make it a point to "thank" whoever checks my replay, albeit a small gesture, but I know I appreciate it when someone returns the favor. We just need more NTSC checkers!

My PAL replay is not required this week, however I post it here in case someone might take a look and advise where I might have gone wrong with this combo. I was completely off the pace in this one, I'm not sure why so any input would be great. One thing I've noticed is it seems all my problems are in T1 looking at other replays, T2/T3 don't look too bad. The first 2 corners seem relatively ok, but the corners 3 and 4 seem to be where I lost all the time 
Look forward to your comments to help imrove my style on this combo.
