Just save you replay on a usb whenever you made a laptime and bring it to the campus with you. If Sphinx requests a replay you'll always have it on hand that way![]()
That would work.

Quick question about that small competition. Why the F430? It's a good car, but I drive more of MID range sports cars then super cars. Guys like me might be good race worthy for slower cars but not super cars (all pro-Physics tho) I was prating with this car today, and seems it's going to take me a while to get a nice time.
*back to practice*
Unfortunately the car choice isn't going to suit everyone, but lets be honest the f430 is a good choice even if some people don't like it. Its a rearwheel drive so its not really fogiving but at the same time its well balanced and with the slight downforce it creates it is also very stable making it a fairly easy rwd to drive. This helps accomodate for eveyone. Don't forget this isn't just a qualifier for the fastest driver is it? There will be drivers competing who normally compete in standard physics mode, or people who self admittedly just aren't all that amazing at driving. Can you imagine giving them a tricky FR car to do the qualifyer in? For them it would be more about keeping it on the road than doing fast laps. Thats not exactly fair is it.
So all I am trying to say is the car choice is to help accomodate for alll drivers without making it too easy. Now if your not happy with the car well I can understand, certain cars just don't suit certain peoples driving styles. For me its a shame that this competition had to take place on a time trial (which I am usesless at in comparision to acctually racing) and if that means I am in a lower devision than I wanted then I am going to have to get over it because afterall you can be promoted if you show you are faster when we get the real racing, but at the moment a time trail is the best way to sort out devisions. The exact same thing can be said about the car choice if you don't like the car and it puts you in a lower devision then you are just going to have to get over it I am afraid.
Now I am not having a go at people I just wanted to make this very clear about the car. The choice car for this event has been made and it isn't going to change. If people could please simpley leave it at that and not go on about it any further.
Dont worry mods this isnt a thread about lap times, just need to clear some things up and get peoples views.
From what I take from this qualifer, is that GTP members will be split up into different groups depending on their lap times on one track. I have a couple of views on this that may affect future races / events.
1. From doing these lap times and putting us in these groups, is already limiting the number of races we can have with members. I get the impression that you only race with the people in your 'skill group' and nobody else. I enjoy racing with faster and slower racers. Faster as you learn more about lines, braking points, overtaking spots. Slower as it is fun to overtake and also to give them help etc.
2. Big egos and GTP division. From these times there is going to be 'I am better than you' type threads, people thinking they are better than others etc.
3. I thought the GTP tag was about clean racing and not whos fastest. Why kick people out if they dont submit a time?
4. I know members off here who hate / arent very good at time trails. Infact they dont like the races on this new update and hate doing time trails they have stopped playing GT until the next update. Some didnt even bother trying with the GT Acadmey as they hated time trails.
5. Say we are put into these groups. I am put in with people not in my time zone, arent very active members, then I will suffer as my racing wont be as active as it is linking with the chat.
Yes I can see the positives about the closer racing, but to me the negatives outway the positives by far to much...
What does everyone else think?

I'm really looking forward to this competition, but I think the grief Sphinx is getting over the small details is ridiculous. Some people need to loosen up their bum holes a little, and let the guy get on with the job.
keep up the good work Sphinx!
...I'd imagine that, like the WRS, divisions are not immutable. If a driver consistently shows form above or below his/her division, they may be promoted or relegated.
When did you get your GTP tag? I think that it would be ok and if not Sphinx might ask you to redo it. But may I suggest that you use your GTP tag from now on.![]()
1. Save your replay in the normal way
2. Quit game
3. Insert a USB Storage Device
4. Using the XMB, select game, select Saved Data Ultity
5. Scroll down to your Replay
6. Press triangle & select copy
7. Select the destination for the copy of your replay (USB Storage Device)
8. Copy it
9. Email the replay from your USB Storage Device
Sounds a lot, but it is pretty easy.
Ok yeah that should work, however I think there should be more than one Official Division Manager (The GTP Member that decides who is promoted or relegated in Division). Also if someone wishes to be promoted...or relegatedthey could PM the Division Manager to setup a Divisions qualify Race with the group they think they are capable of joining.👍

So that EVERYONE is doing this in exactly the same conditions, nobody has advantage from using the clutch.I have a quick question - I noted in the rules that I'm not permitted to use the clutch on my G25. I have no problem with the rule, as I use paddles on the F430 and would obey the rule even were I rowing the gears by hand. I was just wondering what the reason for the rule was.![]()
Discussing times in any way, shape or form is strictly prohibited.I'm having trouble keeping the F430 from losing control. I'm about 12 seconds off the leaders.![]()
In some versions it's called 'save best lap replay', in others is 'save ghost replay', they're the same thing.How do you guys save a single best lap replay? I only get the option to "Save Replay" or "Save Ghost Replay"...?
The GTP one, otherwise what's the point?Can i send my time what was driven with my normal PSN ID, or shall i drive a new time with the GTP_ PSN ID?
Is there a way to make that icon as a flashing pop up everytime someone enters this thread?To be clear about this:
Save best lap replay button:
![]()
![]()
So Sphinx, am I division 7 or 8?I know, wait until the 28th or something right?
