I think that should be fine as by no means have you been that far off track for any extended period of running, and it's not genuinely against the spirit or letter of the law, so you're good to submit

All the best
Maz
Thanks maz for confirmation, looking forward to finding out what division im going to end up in for my first WRS.

I just realized that trying to finish GT Life before engaging to WRS was practically impossible (and a little bit dumb, considering there are still some updates that will change things...I am specially waiting for the update which will allow us to save endurance races, mid-championships and so on)...
Will give it a go this week for sectors 2 & 3
Good luck everyone

Vince_Fiero Disqualified driver
So did some more runs this weekend.

1) reversed the trend, where I used to win a second easily, I find it easy to lose 2 seconds now.
2) Played a bit with ABS on 2 and TCS on 1-2-3, it gives a bit more control when jumping unfortunately, but no time gain for me.



3) Turned off all the information on the screen, complete HUD and times. I broke both sector records in the next 30 minutes. I drive with the bumper view, so I do not see speed, RPM, gear or current time this way. But I have been driving so much I know the sound and where the limits of the gears are by now. It seems that purely concentrating on the line really helped me, got the apex a lot cleaner. (gains were only .200 of the total time, but a lot better then the general +4sec on the total I had been driving regularly.) Very clean runs as well.

I'm very close to a psychological limit (what I believed to be Div 1 time, but doubt that very much now), so want to dip under before I submit.

The game is not over.

=====================

Had some very strange runs:
2 wheels on (or vertically in line with) the track at all times
Both rear wheels on, but no front wheel, is legal then.
Happy not to have to submit that run though.

After a few online races with friends and spending three or so hours on the GTP Registry assignment, I've realized that I'm absolutely terrible at this game. I knew that I wasn't great, but didn't really have a feel for the severity of my lack of skill.

I'm going to give it another go next weekend before I submit, and hope to shave a good couple seconds off of my times. If I don't, I'll be seeing some fierce competition in Division 10 Bronze.

That is what I intend to do, well at least completely finish A-Spec. I'll probably miss the first couple comp's but we'll see

I was going to submit my times, but today a little devilish voice ordered me to get the T500 RS wheel. So I did and expect it to be delivered tomorrow. Maybe this wheel will gain me a few tenth of second.

I will, and when I do gain time, I'll scream it from the roofs (old Dutch saying).

I asked the Wicked Voice, and it demands a picture. Not sure what kind of picture, maybe one of the weeping gypsy boy.

oh man! That will be awesome...let us know how is your gaining.
BTW, are you buying the h-shifter? If so, how much is it?

No, I don't use the H-shifter with my G25, so don't see a reason to buy one with this wheel.

I think I might be done with my times.

I set my best sector 2 at the start of last week after a few days on it. Since then I haven't really been able to get close to it, and even when I do get close it's not really in danger of being beaten.

My sector 3 got reduced to a time I was happy with. Whilst I know that a better run at the start of the lap would yield even more time (and I've done better starting runs frequently) I think I'll probably give this one up. It's not maxed out in the sense I know I could get more time if I ran it a lot more, but I think it's actually better than my sector 2 relatively speaking, even though I can get closer to repeating my sector 3 than I can my sector 2 (odd situation really).

Maybe I'll pick one of them and give it another few days to get back up to speed and try to knock a bit more off, but psychologically once I got the last couple of tenths I'd been chasing off sector 3 I felt a little more safe about the time, and my drive to improve it dropped off a bit.

Both times basically set in a week; granted that I did give them quite a bit of time each though. Division 2 would be nice, I'd be terribly disappointed with less. Depending on what the time-spread is from Div1 Gold-Bronze I'd harbor a slim hope of squeaking in there towards the bottom. Maybe if the total time variation from gold-bronze was around half to three-quarters of a second; even then it might be asking a bit much though.
