Nice idea Lefty - always a good idea to keep recruits coming in.

Can I nominate the Ford Falcon XR8 on R1s for a future event please? Great fun to thrash on just about any track.... its in the OCD at the moment.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the Falcon in the OCD. I would love to run it.

[Carlos Fandango]

Agreed - took it for a quick run around Spa yesterday and it was epic, and was always an old favourite from GT4 around the 'Ring.

EDIT: is it a safe assumption that most people will be getting the next batch of DLC? Would love an event in the Golf R, but please Kev, not Madrid

I don't think it's a safe assumption, but that doesn't mean a DLC car can't be used for WRS. I personally have decided not to buy the latest DLC, but I would have no problem if Kevin uses one of the cars for the WRS. It's my choice not to buy it so who am I to prevent you guys from enjoying and taking advantage of your purchase.

As far as DLC, I'm on strike and will not cross the picket lines until PD releases more tracks. OK, I will cross the picket lines only if they release a set of 2011 Super GT cars via DLC.

Nordschleife would be great in the Falcon.

I will be picking up the DLC and with the unlock for all accounts from the store we don't have to decide which account to DL it to.

Understand Tim - had it not been for the Golf R I'm not sure I'd be buying it either. However, since the 2.02 update, DLC cars are available in the Dealerships once the DLC pack is purchased. This will allow me to buy the car in-game multiple times, and just maybe, gift one to a friend

A few days later edit: Seems that everyone is raving about the Toyota GT86 that we got with the 2.02 update. Haven't driven it myself yet, but how about it around GVE reverse?

As the two year anniversary of the original GT5 Time Trial Demo for GT Academy approaches, how about a combo with a 370Z at Indy Road? The car may have to be something like the Fairlady Z (Z34) '08, for ease of acquisition.

That actually sounds fun. Never really thought it would ever again.

Hello WRS admins (Kevin and maybe some others).
I have a proposal to make concerning a change in rules. My proposal is to enable the use of clutch for WRS events.

I don't know why the use of clutch is prohibited but I assume the reason is unfair competition between people who can afford a high-end (three pedal) wheel and people with a two pedal wheel or even between people how drive manual in real life and people that are not used to having a third pedal at all. But isn't it already unfair that some can afford a wheel while others play with a controller? Also isn't it unfair that some people use the DFGT while others T500RS or the Fanatec ones? problem solved with the nice icons in wrs.gtplanet.net and signatures so there are 2 parallel leagues: wheel and dualshock. My suggestion is to add a third league (the icon can be a 3-pedal set) which is clutch users and since many people may like left foot braking (whatever wheel they own) i whould suggest the it's optional to be a clutch user or not.

My reason for this suggestion is (besides now owning a g27) I like to feel the "extra" realism using the clutch and right foot braking since it feels weird to move the shifter without pressing the cluch or using the paddles in a classic car. If there is "cheating" by using the clutch to rev more or do faster shifts everyone in the clutch users league while be equal able to use that and I don't think is cheating in any way.

So what do you think about it?

We think the clutch offers an unfair advantage to those that have it over those who don't.

While your examples are somewhat relevant, we don't want to introduce this additional variable into WRS competition at this time.

[ClassicMini]

Thanks Kevin for the quick reply, I hope this will be added sometime in the future meanwhile I should learn how to drive manual anyway (even with paddles I'm really slow)

[Anghammarad]

My wish is quite short.

Suzuka with a NSX Type R on hard sports. It's been long enough. Might even lure some of the Aliens to participate

Classic. The BEC was just a warm-up.

Already thought that when the suggestion was posted.

I'll be able to work this one in soon.

Any objections to a wet track?

I was about to suggest that but it will be difficult to work out on the settings and the amount of the track water, as they are based on luck. If you have found out, you know what week 49 should be

I would love a Special Event based week.
We haven't had those since Week 26 if I'm correct.

Not quite sure what you mean, but the replay shows the actual amount, and it's possible to set the actual amount. Are you saying getting to the optimum amount of water requires luck?

I know what week 49 should be, but it's not going to be this. We have a prior obligation.

Suz will probably be more like week 51.

I like using the special events that force Skid Recovery Force to "Off".

Some of them have AI on the track with you, and I've avoided those, so far. In the past, weeks with AI have been highly unpopular in WRS, due to the difficulty of getting through cleanly.

Any thoughts from the group on a week with AI on track?
