Your all wrong, it's got to be me... I mean, I regularly place in the top 25,000 in all of the time trials....

Ah, but seriously... Anyone who places in the top 100 of virtually any of the time trials I've seen... Has got to be really freaking good.
 
Come to think again and there's a difference between a, let's say Divison 1 Gold driver and drivers like Ti-Tech85, outburner976, GTP_DHolland, EDDSKILL, l1a2r3 and a few more (some GTPL guys are scary fast).

Guys stated above are more than alien, they are insanely fast beyond comprehension.
I don't know and I can't say anything about Japanese region guys but I guess Takeuchi01 is fast enough.



But at race pace you can't really tell, since there are many more fast racers than fast time trialers (the only real alien at racing I've seen is DeMise-Bennet).

Basically I just realised that I said exactly what Zocker has said earlier in this thread. ._.

I place under 2000 always on the time trials.

I think that unless everyone is on a EVEN playing field where the same car with the same settings and all that stuff is set? Then we won't know for sure anytime soon.
 
Stick or wheel?
I can only comment on friends I race, most of which run x1 and f2007/F10

Mustard
Jwill
Tealoveyoutalk
Artman
Serial
Leyba
PS3
alboy
X2010pro
Knuckle
Miranda
wodan
CarbonX

...those are some seriously fast people.


X2010pro is my friend too. He is also known as gmw1957

The Japanese are seriously fast too. There are quite a number of drivers who are top draw.

tony1311 has super fast race pace but any of the drivers you mentioned at the start will also be super fast in races as well. They have very fast hot lapping consistency so that will translate in race pace.
 
I have raced against many quick drivers, but these really stand out: GTP_Aderrrm, tony1311, DHolland, GTP_timeattack, Forcedunschkn(something like that forgot his full ID :D), R1600Turbo, and more. These guys are ALIENS! :scared:

Outlaw belongs in that list too and you're not far from them.
 
Again people, you're missing the point.
This is not the "Who's really fast" thread, this is who's the fastest thread.

There is a difference between tony1311, timeattack, Aderrrm, lapierre4 and many more and DHolland.
GT5 has a time trial league called WRS as most of you know, now WRS has a system called handicap which is a number which represents a player's skill level.
WRS registry has over 700 members (98% of fast drivers on GTP are in the registry, saidur, PR1VATEJ0KER, RacI are one of few fast people who aren't in the registry) and basically majority of GT5's fast people are in it.

Handicap works like a number, the lower the number - the better the player.

1.000 is theoretical fastest possible time.
Division 1 Gold is everything less than 1.333
Division 1 Silver is everything from 1.666 to 1.334
Division 1 Bronze is everything from 1.999 to 1.667


Tony1311 has 1.789
Aderrrm has 1.281
lapierre4 has 1.488
I have 2.302

DHolland has 0.995 (the only member of GTP WRS registry with an average handicap of bellow par)


Handicap isn't seconds.


I hope this puts things into some perspective.

Energizerrr,

You'll note that Synwraith and Timpaq are both under 1.00 as well, as is Zocker_16.

Zocker_16 0.926
Synwraith 0.871
Timpaq 0.619 :crazy:
 
He means the avarage handicap, which is counted after running the weekly events 👍

That is much harder to keep under 1.00 I believe.

So in simple words are you saying that Dan, is in his own league compared with Adam,Brock, me and other ''just fast'' guys?

So, if your theory is correct that makes us guys in D1 silver a faster driver than Tony? (Supersic) I don't think so.

Tony is down in D1 bronze which to me means he didn't put a great deal of time into the qualifier, or if he was still using his old wheel at the time he was having problems with the throttle pedal registering 100%. Amazing how he still managed to win his first WRS event with defective pedals 👍

Dan obviously puts a lot more time into time trials than most (if the seasonal challenge is anything to go by) Others may not have the time he seems to have to put down a near perfect lap. Not taking anything away from Dan as he is obviously a great driver.

I am pretty sure if Tony would of put more time into the qualifier, or if it was in fact down to his defective pedals, he would be up there with the best and it would not be surprising to see him under that 1 handicap your on about.

Guys its not an epeen competition, all energizer is putting forward is a perspective on how fast some guys are in comparison to others....

the fact is noone will ever know as like the real world nobody will ever have the perfect moment at the same time as everyone else. Tools failing, time or anything all have an effect on how fast someone can go at any given time...
 
Firstly this is a stupid thread subject to begin with.

Again:

...the question is impossible to answer. You only can find the fastest player on a said combo on a said time, and within the group of people that try it. The op's question is far far far too general to be answered at all, there really is not such a thing as a "generally fastest GT5'er" .

Adding to that, maybe there is just some certain group of guys who on a good day can be the fastest on a time trial (racing side I'll leave out for now) against anybody. And that is as far as you can take it to imo.

And as a sidenote - the old subject of the effort put in. It is irrelevant as it can't be seen / proven and as that has to be left out of the discussion (if there has to be a discussion about this subject).

Everybody puts as much effort as they want / can and then we'll have the results.

The data he is using to make such profound conclusions is very unreliable though.

Time trials alltogether are exhibiting just certain attributes of a driver's skills. Personally, i can't bother doing unlimited number of laps with the same car/track combo to chase half a tenth.

That's why i prefer racing series. So does Brock (GTP_Timeattack) and Adam (GTP_Aderrrm) who are mentioned. And i guarantee you, any expert hotlapper will need a lot of time for adjustment (for some perhaps infinate) before he can compete with us in a racing league.

I'm not having racing in mind, I know you are a racing god. ;)

Handicap is just a reference, not a guideline.
And the latter - many people didn't put in enough time into the qualifier, if I put more time into it maybe I'd be in Div 1, but I don't moan. We're put there for a reason, times are not shown for a reason.

And I'll continue with saying that the fastest racer is much harder to find than a fast TTer because there are much more alien racers than alien time trialers.
 
Thanks Energizerrr for considering me being fast although against the guys you mentioned I'm no way near as fast.

Anyway WRS ranking is not really a good example to state how fast some people there are. There are people in D1 that are not really D1 fast but made it because they put more effort in. Then there is people on lower divisions who are say D1 Gold material but did not put as much effort in so they are ranked lower.

The most popular fast people in GT space in regards to time trialling has to be GTP_DHolland, Ti-tech85, EDDSKILL, Takeuchi01, l1a2r3 and eclipsi_RC. There are good few not mentioned.

There are however people who stick to just racing and people like tony1311 are just as fast if not faster than the people mentioned in these scenarios if they put their mind to it.

I think Arnaud can hold claim to being fastest for topping all EU GT Academy leaderboards so far just as well Dan can for doing licence tests and missions generally the fastest if we are talking about measuring drivers on things you can measure publicly with ease.

Not very unreliable but it just depends on the person and people as for judging good TTers it can be good but for judging racing yes your right its unreliable but you can only use data you have for example: Alot of people in different countries will have a different opinion on driver skill I mean someone in America might find an indy car driver the best driver in the world while someone in Europe might find an F1 driver best in the world (just because of what they know). But of course I still stand its impossible to tell who the fastest driver in gt5 is the same as in real life. To many variables, to many people racing in different places in different events etc.

Personally I'd love to join a racing series with you guys to improve my racing (As I know its taken a hit with me doing TT alot more now). Especially if its the same setup same model racing :)!

Same as I would love to learn how to setup a car of an expert tuner (One of the main reasons I dont race or take it very seriously when i do online).

But I do think that if your an Expert hotlapper you'll be good at racing, and if your an Expert Racer you'll be good at hotlapping (Just have to focus more on one to sacrifice another).

No disrespect to anybody with what i wrote as im sure you're all aware :).
 
Tony, timeattack etc are fast but not gods. Some french guy I race with are equal or maybe faster. no disrespect here but I trully don't agree that these guys are the fastest. they are very fast, but not the fastest. And please don't begin about DHOLLAND. He is good in timetrail but that's it. raced him many times with equal cars from recommend list and never lost.

I see my own team member TRP_REPLAY as one of the fastest. challenge him with equal cars and see for yourself..

Dont forget its just a game. racing gears such as the pedals makes a huge difference. it will never be fair until you put them all in one room and let them race.

go tell your friends how fast you are in a game...

Edit: wrs leaderboard is for gtplanet only. doesn't mean these guys are the fastest. many fast drivers don't visit gtplanet. being fast in timetrail means nothing. anyone can be fast if they practice for weeks.

The fastest GT5er? Since there aren't official online races by Polyphony Digital there's no answer.

The fastest TTer with a steering wheel? Ti-Tech85 without any doubt.

The fastest TTer with a game pad? samurai_405

Regarding the time spent on achieving a TT top spot, I can guarantee it goes in geometric progression and not anyone can achieve even a top 10 if he/she spends a lot of time.

This is something that i cannot comprehend :crazy:

NO!
 
This is kind of why I wish Gran-Turismo would embrace E-Sports a little more would certainly develop competition further :)!

Dan I'm sure is very fast if he was doing a league race or something like that. It is a bit naive to think the pace he showed when he raced you was the maximum he could attain. He won GT Academy National Final races if I remember correctly so obviously he is not slow in races when it matters and so he is much more than just a good time trialler. He is excellent at racing and also time trialling I would say.

Racing gear does not make much difference.

Finally not anyone can be fast to achieve the top times. If it was easy for others then Dan would not hold so many licence test records in GT4 for example. The speed attained by the top drivers is remarkable, hence why terms such as 'alien' is used.

I am happy to see my name :)

I am a young driver (I'm 16 since the end of November), I don't have very experience, I play with a wheel since July 2010, I was very bad with the pad.

Ugo_Spolding too is a incredible driver but he don't like TT. Since September or November he plays with one arm and he fight with Ti-Tech in race, and sometimes he win, with very difficulty but he win, or it's with Ti-Tech at the end.

EDIT: Sorry, I don't speek good english.
