::Introduction::

Welcome all to the ‘Weekly Arcade Time Attack’ series, whereby the ultimate aim is to be able to establish GTPlanet-dominated 'online rankings' for each and every car & track combination posted on each Sunday that begins the week, as well as helping find our true positions of skill amongst all the online GTP racers here.


Once you think that you've nailed your best time, post it and I'll update the first page. The combinations for each week will be decided via PM'd suggestions from participants. I may, however, need to alter some combinations depending on their suitability (short-to-medium length tracks and reasonably easy-to-maneuvre vehicle are currently most sought).


:: Posting your times::

When posting your time please do so in the following format: [ PSN - Time (e.g., 1'02.345) ]


:: Races ::

Mine's BNR34 @ Suzuka East Forward (Professional)
Jaguar XK-R @ Suzuka East Forward (Professional)
Honda Integra Type-R @ Eiger Nordwand Forward (Professional)
Honda NSX-R @ Suzuka Circuit (Professional)
Volkswagen Golf GTi '05 @ London Forward (professional)
Week 6: Mazda RX-7 @ Suzuka East Forward (Professional)




Week 7: Online Events Time Trial: Ferrari F2007 @ Fuji Speedway F
{20/7/06; 11.00 GMT – 27/7/08: 10.00GMT}



::Current GTP positions::




#1 - GTP_Ken773 – 1’15.279
#2 – GTP_L_Hamilton - 1'15.616

So without further ado, start your engines and thrown on your helmets racers and, above all, have fun!
 
This will be fun 👍
 
errggghhhhhhh...... Ferrari F1 + G25 @ 900deg.......... = :(
 
you won't need that much... :)
 
Do you need a GTP tag to take part as im not on the registry yet.
 
No tag necessary, just jump on in 👍

Here's my effort thus far, currently giving me 161st position:

GTP_MisterWeary - 1'17.730

Tough work cracking that hundred :crazy:
 
Just had a few laps and I don't think I will be very near the top of this one. Never really got on with the F1 cars in the GT series and this is the first time I've driven this one in anger. I drive with the force feedback on 10 and this results in some vicious shake at high speed in the straight position. I finished up keeping a tiny bit of lock on the whole time and gradually weaving my way down the straight :yuck: Anyway, to help get the ball rolling:

PrudentBear - 1'17.521

That's currently only good for 268th :rolleyes:
 
After 7 laps:

1'18.150 - GTP_Beerz

Lots of room for improvement, but it's hard work.
BTW, the guy in 1st goes off the track on 3 occasions to gain time. Is it allowed?
 
My only goal would be to crack the top 100. 99th would sufice.

646th 1'19.868

Just kidding: 1'18.122 P245

I was kidding again..man this car is fun to drive.. lol

NEW TIME: 1'17.350 Best for 128th!

NEW NEW TIME 1'16.918 Best for 92nd Tenitive!

--------------

As for the WR holder..he went off the track twice!...He needs to be reported!

http://uk.playstation.com/help-support/grief-reporting/

Help report him..the more people complain..the more likely they will delete his time.

REPORTED i-Plume [UK]
 
Formula one In GT... this will be without me this time guy's 👍
 
SIXAXIS is at a huge advantage here. 75% of top 100 probably are SIXAXIS.

Also the lap times are weird. When they ran the Fuji F1 time trial in online events #1 was 1'13.2 on N tires

Here #1 is 1'14.9 on S2 tires?
 
hmmmm,never liked the f1 cars in gt beceause it is in my opinion not a gt car,and the handling showed that plenty in gt4....
offcourse i will give this a go mates but.....i really cant be bothered

(ALSO,9 MORE DAYS AND ALL TIMES WILL BE DELETED FROM ALL BOARDS ANYWAY...)

spyrrari.
 
1'16.803 - GTP_Chronos-GT

Not used the F1 since the first week of spec II and this was my first time using the G25 with the F1. The novelty wore off back in april but still good fun, I might go back to it more.

What is strange is that I can't see CWR in the Top 100, iplume is 5th with older times above plus old times at the 100 mark. I get the same TOP100 with my Japan and Europe PAL copies, so does the american read the rankings different for F1? I'm on Fuji F speedway pro and not the GT.
 
So which one are we using? I am using the one in the online events. I guess I am doing the wrong one.
 
Oh right, well all other the weekly arcade time attacks are in the Arcade TT section so I thought this was the same
 
I suppose we can do both?
 
It's Fuji F, the one with the chicane.

Yeah, Beerz, there are two F1 Fuji F TT's.. One in the online events..and one in the Arcade. I am doing the wrong one. The TT in the online events has R1 tires. The funny thing is..the times are pretty close.. lol
 
arrghhhhh..... my hands are killing me FF set on 5 and i'm spent.

1.19.955 - osrg
 
Board updated. The event is indeed the 'time trial' in the 'online events' section.

Also, I am very sorry I chose a combination this week whose top 100 is filled with corner-cutters. It is something I wanted to avoid highly, but it is only now that I actually realise that you can cut lap times in Fuji by doing the same on the corners. Many apologies, and I honestly don't mind if you do so as well - if there is no honest way of getting into top spot without doing so. But it is at your discretion.
 
...edit

GTPro beat me to it.

I wouldn't encourage cheating GTPro, GTP has always been about clean racing, not making the top 100 is just a bummer but not the end of the world. As mentioned before, the fact the records are all being deleted makes this a good choice for a race 👍

I am not encouraging it. I am simply saying that it is a possibility if you are keen on being absolutely number #1.
 
Wow, so it IS the online time trial... :indiff:

Ok, I'll fire it up today to see if I can get in the top 100.
10 minutes of my life wasted doing the wrong time trial... :dunce:

I could've had 2 beers in those 10 minutes, you know?...
 
Had a bit of shock when I first tried this - my wheel tried to rip my arms off on the straight :0 Had to turn FF down to 1 (from 10).

GTP_Stotty -- 1'17.604

It's quite a nice car/track combo... amazing how late and deep you can brake in to turn 1 and how much grip there is round the long, long right hander. When I jumped back to 600PP straight after I couldn't stay on the road.

+1:ouch: ...... just realized to when i looked at my time and it said 1655th worldwide :yuck:
 
Ok sorry, scrap my time too - I was doing the arcade one. I'll have a go at the other soon.
 
GTP_Chronos-GT - 1'16.134 34th ranking

OK my first attempt was on S2 in arcade TT. Just done 5 laps on the online event R1 tyres. Should be able to improve next time.

R1 make a difference to me, but not checked the times of others, maybe they are close to S2, not sure.

How come this is in the Online section when this is called "Arcade Time Attack" and previous TT's were all in the Arcade section. I don't have any remote mind reading skills lol, anyway, no problem now the OP is updated.:)

At least us who have hardly ever used the F1 can get in the TOP 100.
 
Just had a few laps on the online time trial version:

PrudentBear - 1'16.601

In the top 100 but F1 car's not my cuppa so that's my lot.
