Steward's Comments:

"Effectively spoiling the driver with luxury car quality, this compact car also delivers on excitement." - Dealership quote

The title is "The Joy of Saving" in German, altering BMW's tag-line and hinting toward the economical nature of the car, as well as the fact that we've taken some weight, power, and grip off the stock values.

Viewing your 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 Splits, simply post the lap to date times that are shown in the middle of the screen. Do not try to calculate the actual split times, 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 73 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 Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week XX Remove Entry" and any text in the body.
  • 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, June 15th 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

Don't expect me to save the rear tires though. @GTP_Dutchy knows from experience ;)
I think you may be referring to this pic, from the left-overs pile. ;) Thanks @MadMax and @PASM for helping create a great combo. :bowdown:

It's the final week of GT Academy and summer is beginning soon in the Northern Hemisphere; probably will continue to see a small number of submissions, but this should be a nice approachable diversion in the interim. :cheers:
 
After a couple of weeks away, Time to start back.

Banker lap, can't wait to see how slow I've become :lol:

Kicking myself for missing the redbull TT
 
31.049
57.646

Have a good 2 tenths to aim for, but not until I hand in some assignments first! :scared:

Had to force myself to stop running laps, too much damn fun :lol:
 
Arrggghhh, so ticked off at myself for not playing enough to have credits for the last two weeks TTs! :irked:

In this one!

33.512
61.579

How do I get the last 5 PPs? I've done everything to the car. I only have 350....

Scott

Nevermind....I hadn't done all the weight reductions. Now I'm good. Another bit of weight off should help those pathetic splits!

The closest I ever came to beating you was on the forward version of the full track in the ff cars. Lost by .011 if I remember correctly. I look forward to losing to you again this week :cheers:

I try to shift around 5.8k but I don't remember it by ear, and in the tunnel it doesn't make sense to use 4th... Well, better try below 5k actually.

bb 4/4, right amount of "HA!" and "A-HA!".

Messed up sector 2 just a bit, but T1 and T3 were my best so far. Nice relaxing pace this week, after driving the race cars so much last week.

31.613

Edit BB 2 4
 
This week will be figuring out how to do sector 1.

31.450
58.100

I've had a .3 at t1 but nothing like Macca is doing.
 
Right... so I've just bought the BMW 120d '04 which is the correct car.

I did the oil change and installed all of the required weight reduction parts.

I came to 121 bhp on 72.0% power limiter and 1,159kg after all of the weight reduction parts? :confused:
 
Initial splits, after 11 laps

32.146
59.379

Nothing extraordinary, thought will be harder, slowly figuring out the lines

Edit: figured out i drove it with default TC - 5. :banghead:

I have exactly one halfway-decent lap.

I've had better times at the splits, but I'm too inconsistent.
