Am I allowed to ask or put any Brake Balance for the Qualifier??
Yes, you can change any settings in the RA menu.

We'd rather not have people discussing specific strategy related to the qualifier, so I'll give some general information on how I approach brake balance.

In general, a grippy FR car like the SLS AMG would respond well to a lower front and higher rear bias. I would suggest starting with 4/6, and keep spreading them apart until you are comfortable.

A more aggressive method would be to start with 1/10 and move the lower number up until you are comfortable.

That applies to just about any FR on race tires in just about any event. But it still will come back to your personal preference. I would not worry as much about what's faster, but what's more comfortable and consistent.

Τhe only ones I tried is 5/5 and 9/10! The last one makes me really happy and I have done my best time with it. Thanks for your help . Gonna submit on Monday, as I want to follow this statement

It would be greatly appreciated by all GTP Race Admin and participants if you would dedicate at least as much time to the qualifier as you would to a regular WRS event.
, This week was pretty comfortable for me.

Neither did I

I also did not know yet how broken G25/27 pedals are with abs=0, used that just by habit. Boy I made some smoke. But somehow I got used to it and put down some good splits anyway.

It seems so long ago, guess I would do many things different if I was to run it again.

this weeks event is a seasonal and as i can't connect to PSN (connection to slow and wrong type) can i use a normal time trial instead?

Sorry, it's not possible for us to know if you complied with the specific event regulations if you use something other than the seasonal time trial to run the event.

Most specifically, Horsepower does not show up in the replays.

Sorry for double post, but you wouldn't take notice if I didn't.

Would you consider this clear???

At that very moment yes,

All Hard Surfaces are track. This includes rumble strips, concrete, cobbles, etc.
But you need to check before that moment and after too (can't be sure of what direction you're coming from or where you're going).

Thanks, I checked the previous moments and they are clear, I was just wondering if the rule applies with 1.5 wheels at all times instead of 2

I agree with this assessment.

I personally would not turn in a lap that close to the edge, one way or the other.

Submitted my Qualifier times. I think they're a pretty fair representation of my ability and of the effort I'll be able to put into this. This looks like a lot of fun.
