Steward's Comments:

Don't want to brag, but WRS came up with this first, (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gtp_wrs-week-152-ferdinands-spa.396345/) and it's still a great combo at Gt7. Have fun!

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 you're still unsure, check it again, ask for a second opinion and if you're still undecided, run the lap again.

  • Please submit your FULL LAP TIME in the following format on a single line:
    X:XX.XXX
    (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 9 Get Entry" and any text in the body.
  • Users can delete their submitted time by sending a message with the Subject: "GTP_WRS Week 9 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, June 13th 2022 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:
  • 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,

Initial splits

1:42.568

The final chicane is killing me! I either spin or get too cautious and it costs me anywhere from 0.4xx to 0.8xx.

Anyone care to share how they are handling the final chicane? (its the final turn that does me in) I've reverted to just practicing the final sector in the CE as good splits are irrelevant if I'm not sure what to do in the final chicane :banghead:
 
38.760
1'41.775

The final chicane is defo make or break I have a good final chicane 1 out of 8 attempts to be fair.. it's quite annoying throwing it all away so close to the end :(
I can post a T1 vid but not the final chicane unfortunately I would get flogged at dawn :lol: Good luck with it 👍

Drop to 2nd for the first right turn into the final chicane and don't drop to 1st until you have exited the final left hander and hope for the best that it sticks ;)

Slower splits, faster lap. Final chicane makes or breaks the lap.
 
38.782
1:42.635

Gave back most of the gains on the final chicane. I've been within a tenth of these best laps a dozen times so waiting for a breakthrough, especially in T2 where I'm struggling.

Getting better at T2 but still left a lot on the table in the final chicane. I'm to the point finally where my best sectors added are faster than my lap goal. But that final chicane is the grim reaper for many good laps.
 
39.048
1:43.023

very basic laptime: 1st sector ok, 2nd with mistakes, 3rd very cautious (turned tc to 1 before last chicane)
I had time only for two 1 hour sessions, not enough to get the flow and that's it for me this week.
I won't be able to share my replay until next Friday evening.
