Congratulations to stuffystuff, first place winner. Sorry for the more late than I thought lateness. Enjoy competition 3 and good luck to all competitors!
 
Ok. Not sure about the car but you have got to work with the tools right?

Anyway, thought I would put a quick 5 lap stint in to see how I got on.

Needless to say the oversteer is there in abundance meaning a bit of a scruffy one but managed a 1:21.536 as a marker for you guys to shoot down.

Good luck all. Although you won't need it to put my time in the shade.

Off to run a longer session after a break.
 
Gave this a few runs this morning, though I just read that ABS must be set to 1 so my times maybe different next time I try it. I'm just under 1:18.00 at the minute and with ABS set to 1 I reckon I'll get a quicker time. I'll be back to post an official time after I do some runs with ABS on.👍

Great idea btw, I'll be looking forward to these challenges! :D

EDIT:
CudaMan
....As for the ABS it's something I haven't been using since GT5 was released but in this competition we have to have it set at 1....

So I read here that ABS should be set to one, but in the first post it says ABS is optional. I take it CudaMan got it wrong then?

ABS is optional mate. As you correctly observed in the OP.

I personally run with ABS at 1 but if you are getting tines like that with no ABS more power to ya :)

Looks like I need to get back to the track as my latest time of 1:18.733 (which I was holding back from being posted) has already been usurped.
 
I like this series idea! I just ran a 1`18.709 on my first lap try with cold tires. Wondering what the point of heavy damage is though?
 
Ok, so I couldn't improve by much but I'm down to 1:17.217, we'll see how good/bad that is soon enough, hehe. Man I hate American made cars, they don't like to turn and they don't rev out enough, I like my cars to scream!:sly:

Anyway, here's the replay file, hope I did it right and good luck to everyone!

I was gonna do a few more attempts but it looks like this thread died.
 
You think? I don't. Deadline is the 15th so we shall see if any more times come in.
 
Just managed a 1`17.569. Ill try a bit harder later if I see more input for this. Its a fun car to drive for sure though.
 
my leader board so far
audi R8 1:25.5
ferrari california 1:25.6
ferrari 512 bb 1:27.2
mercedes c63 1:29.6
bmw 135i 1:31.8
suzuki swift sport 1:38.6
 
The thread isn't dead, we're just right in space where it's the longest time between the start and end of competition. There will be another contest after this one. I'm going to be running a time for this event but have been busy with real life and WRS qualifier and I bet a couple more people will be too. As for driving god's post above this one, however, I have no idea what he's on about but none of that is relevant whatsoever to anything we are doing in this thread.

Stoker: heavy damage doesn't have a point in itself as much as is consistent with the realistic nature of the settings used for this series. And I guess technically it punishes the exceptionally lazy.

I wasnt trying to be insulting or anything I didnt know it was that long of a time table to run times. I thought it ended today. Yeah, I need to get on that WRS quali myself!

No offence taken, I just want everyone to know without a doubt the contests are ongoing 👍:cheers:

Good luck here and on the quali.
 
Hi everyone .. well done on the organisation of this time trial. however I don't quite understand how I can save the replay and how the others can see it .

After you run your session select "Save Ghost Replay" which will save the replay of your best lap to your PS3. "Save Ghost Replay" automatically saves your best lap from the session. Uploading it is not complicated but I don't have the directions in front of me. Just let it sit on your harddrive until the competition is over. The likelihood of you being asked for it is slim, I am just keeping people honest.

Thanks for the kind words.
 
When's the next challenge? I'll like to participate in the next one. haha...
