I suggest BNR34 Skyline and Tsukuba, it's an easy track with not too much corners, so it's fair because it's easy to learn for everyone, not like suzuka..

It would be an idea to take a track that came new into the game, so you neither have a profit of owning GT4 nor prologue.

Cya !

If this is the case, then we can use the Nissan GT-R '07 & I could submit my time from this run. :P

I did a 7:22 in the BNR34 Skyline :-P

For me, one of the biggest advantages of running the qualifier for the GTP_Tag, was getting to know who else is in my league. I'm only Division 4, but I stumbeled upon this site racing GTP tagged guys online and seeing the fair driving and the fun it got me.

Now I get to run fair races with equal opponents, how much fun is that?

Oh yeah, I started the game with my non GTP account. I've now gone over to the GTP_Auratus account, and gift the cars I need for the Spec A&B races from my original account.
I also bought a lot of tuning gear and transferred that. I've almost finished Spec A&B professional and have only bought 1 car.

You can only gift 1 car a day, but after a couple hours you can already do it again.

Big thank you to all admins and OLR organisers, I think some people don't realise how much work, and precious time they put into enlargening our gaming experience. I hope they can ride out this storm for as long as it lasts

Anyone doubting getting a GTP tag is just not ready for it.

Enjoy the game, wear your GTP tag with pride.
 
Well I tried everything I could think of next to trying EVERY flavor of linux; no dice. I can't get anything to even see a partition on the drive, let alone a filesystem :( I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. My only option is to routinely backup my PS3 to a USB hard drive at this point. I for one won't ever use my non-GTP tag in GT5 because of it. But thats life, time to roll with it and wear the GTP tag proudly 👍

I don't mind the double account thing. Started GT5 with my GTP account already. Besides that, it's probably easier to get all the funky cars with multiple acounts (multiple special events!)
 
I would like to see the GTP_ tags remain for the WRS in GT5. I think the GTP Registry provides a good distinction of a player and their skills but more importantly shows that they/we are signed up to an ethos about how we play the game and that by seeing the tag you can associate those principles with it.

It's unfortunate that there doesn't appear to be a way around the game save issue but, like signing up to the registry, starting afresh with GT5 might not be such a bad thing for future members. I'm sure the game/WRS can accommodate events that allow experienced and new users alike.

IMO; If you are keen enough to follow this forum and, also want to run in the WRS, then creating a new PSN account specifically for Gran Turismo isn't a hardship.

Hello folks! As some of you know, I bought my PS3 only 10 days ago to enjoy GT5 :) And I stated my PSN ID as GTP_EiFFeL (it's my only account).

The only thing I wanted to know is, do I have to do something to wear that tag, or it's free for every GTP user?

Thank you mates :)

You can wear the tag all you want. To qualify for WRS you have to run a qualifyer on your GTP account. Just wait for the qualifyer now.
 
I don't know about the rest of you , but when I received my PM stating my run was clean on the qualifier and had been put into the relevant league it instantly became apparent I was part of something that meant more than just the tag itself.
I admit we have some rogue drivers every now and again but to know you've in effect a licence to participate in not just WRS ,but online event's to a standard that everyone should adhere to online instead of punting , bashers etc .
I had to start my GT life again but this was only due to the fact that my GT account was'nt primary and realised only 4 hrs into gameplay.I for one am lookiing forward to that buzz again when we are running the qualifier.

LONG LIVE THE TAG......👍

Hi Eiffel anyone can make a PSN GTP_Tag and use it, as a member of GTPlanet we are expected to stick to the OLR rules. But to take part in the official WRS and OLR Events put on by admin team, you are expected to run the qualifier and submit a clean lap to the best of your ability.

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=111987

This is the old one, there will be a new one for GT5 which admin are working on, and there is no need to ask when this will be, as OLR team will post it as soon as possible.

Once you’ve done this your GTP_Tag will be placed into the divisions list based on your performance in the qualifier.

http://wrs.gtplanet.net/divisions/#div_1

One more thing that we like to ask for WRS is that you update your signature to show your division, type of controller and what copy of the game you have PAL / NTSC / DL pal-ntsc

Like this. Div 3 Bronze | G25 | NTSC

This helps the Fetchbot pick up your information and post the results here.

Hope this small bit of info helps you and any new or old member, I’m sure Admin will edit this post if I’ve missed anything out, or make these points more clear for you.

Phillip.
 
Great work Philip 👍 I'm no admin but I'd say no editing is needed on your excellent intro to GTP and WRS :bowdown:

About using the GTP tags, I'm proud to 'wear' it and am always happy surprised to find other GTP guys using it for online racing. Also, it's a good way to recognise players from the bigger Turismo forums from France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.

About the gamesave non-transferability, that's a drag but I'm sure it'll be cracked sooner or later :D
 
I should get my GT5 CE tomorrow. I do have a GTP account, but now I really don't know which account to start the game with.
What is your suggestion ?

We're going to ask you to use your GTP account for anything related to the registry. You won't be able to copy your gamesave, so unless you want to try to level up on multiple accounts, you should probably use your GTP account.

Perused this thread - haven't searched the entire forum yet - is there a thread discussing the reasoning behind PD locking down the Game Saves? Just trying to comprehend the thought process that resulted in that brainchild.

And given all the technically gifted folks here, I honestly can't imagine it would be too difficult to take a game save and change the name inside of it to any name you choose. Forgive me if that would violate some software agreement, I just can't get my mind around the reason for such an odd decision. To me, that would be like Microsoft locking down your Word documents so that you couldn't share them.

The reason is so that you don't get a valuable car, back up the save, gift the car to another save, revert to the backup, and keep gifting that car to your other save over and over again. It would be an easy way to get infinite money.

Thought I hadn't seen you online for a while Yossi, my advice would also be to use your GTP_ account, unless you have plenty of time to run through the game twice at the same time, unless you want to 'gift' the cars you need for the relevant WRS from your main account to your GTP_ one.

I think the reason is so you cannot share dlc, and on that subject... Might become a problem for some not able or willing to pay for things in the future.

Hi,
Yea, I haven't been online for a while since I had some other issues to do which took my time. I hope that I will have more time with GT5...

I also thought about using my GTP account, however, since I read this thread here I thought maybe there will be some changes, and in that case, maybe I shall use my regular account (but, I guess I won't).

Since you guys already have the game, can you tell if there is a way to write a "clan" name for the online game? If yes, this might be a good solution, isn't it?
 
Hi guys :)

Nice to be back in the WRS sub forum, seeing some famiar names. Hope you're all well.

As for this business with GTP tags, i'm sorry but I really have to disagree with the OP on this one. I do see merit in racing online with the tag, but that's not what we're about here at the WRS is it, unless a radical change to the format is afoot? We hot lap, on our own, and 9 times out of 10 do it OFFLINE. All this talk of symbolizing clean and fair racing is made redundant for those reasons.

As for the work around I think you will put off more people than you recruit, I mean it's not really ideal is it. Personally I won't be playing the game twice, so any tracks unlocked by making progress would immediatly be a problem for me. As would presumably, not being able to drive cars higher than level zero. Or maybe that system is purely for purchasing I'm not sure.

That's the long and heres the short, I want to compete, but I can't commit to the guidlines outlined in this registry. I have a PSN account, it has a GT5 gave save, and unless I can use it I guess I won't be competing.

It's a shame because I really had fun here.

I suppose the decision is final, but I did have an idea. Why not allow non GTP tags, as long as members wanting to compete can aquire references from 3 GTP veterans? Or maybe we have 2 seperate registries. One for online racers, and one for WRS contestants. Individuals are able to apply for both obviously, but can have one without the other of course.


GTP registry: Applicants wanting to race online in events organized and scheduled here at GTP must click a link in the registry that takes them to a copy of the OLR where they will find a check box at the bottom. Once members have read and then clicked to agree with the OLR rules, the registration details are revealed. Once completing the event they send their time and PSN in the usual manner to await approval and granting them GTP tagged status. There could even be a hidden sub forum only visable to GTP approved racers?

WRS registry: Basically this one is just a qualifier. Determining your division level and rank and providing admin with a regestration PSN ID. No need for GTP status as no one will see another car on track. As long as submitted replays correspond with PSN regestration ID we're all jolly.


I hope I explained myself ok. :lol: I'm really very tired and typing on my iDevice. Please don't take me the wrong way, I enjoy all you's guys company and appreciate very much the effort that goes into running the WRS. I hope to be back very soon :)
 
Well, we're all going to have to qualify again. Why don't we just use whatever name we want, GTP or not, and then the name everyone wants to use is in the registry?
 
i really would like to join, but im a little confused.

So we can use the GTP_Tag fo free but to run in the league you have to do a qualifing race first to join, and the qualifimg race hasn't been scheduled for new members yet.

the quailifying has not been scheduled for anyone yet so dont worry dude :guilty:
 
This all would be so much easier if we could edit our PSN names or add a tag in game. Hopefully PD will release a patch for the latter...

So far there is no 'clan' tag capability Yossi, I can't see PD putting it in the game VIA a patch either IMO.
 
Concerning game saves. 👍

Gran Turismo 5 gets an update
News | December 2, 2010 - Following the publication of gisteren, which Polyphony Digital pointed to an update was on for Gran Turismo 5 which allows for cars to include an internal loss model to get, has Kazunori Yamauchi today that it against the end of the month players will treat even a patch. This allows you to save file to copy to a USB stick so you have a backup available.

They are also working with Polyphony to implement a feature that allows players to upload videos to YouTube. This function was ever in the game, but was later removed. Yamauchi also wants the future to add the ability to play without the HUD, new features for the lounge, improving shadow effects, better support for the Logitech G25 and G27 steering wheels and obtain credits and experience in multiplayer modes.

Gran Turismo 5 krijgt weer een update
Nieuws | 2 december 2010 - In navolging van de bekendmaking van gisteren, waarin Polyphony Digital aangaf dat er een update onderweg was voor Gran Turismo 5 die het mogelijk maakt voor auto's om ook een intern schademodel te krijgen, heeft Kazunori Yamauchi vandaag laten weten dat tegen het einde van de maand spelers wil trakteren op nog een patch. Deze maakt het mogelijk om je save file te kopiëren naar een USB-stick zodat je over een back-up beschikt.

Daarnaast zijn ze bij Polyphony bezig om een functie te implementeren waarmee spelers filmpjes kunnen uploaden naar YouTube. Deze functie zat ooit in de game, maar werd er later uitgehaald. Ook wil Yamauchi in de toekomst de mogelijkheid toevoegen om te spelen zonder HUD, nieuwe functies voor de lounge, verbeteren van schaduweffecten, betere ondersteuning voor de Logitech G25 en G27 stuurtjes en het verkrijgen van credits en experience in multiplayermodi.

We'll see.
 
I just tried gifting a car (Lambo Countach) to another (level 0) never played GT5 account and I need a free gift car ticket to receive it.

Anyone remember what was required to get the first free gift car ticket?
 
I bought the CE and I want to add the GTP to my account. If I create a new account, and I decided to start the game from scratch? Couldnt I just redownload the cars I got from PD or do I have to gift them to my new account?
 
So, I am fine with having the secondary account and just gifting cars from my main account for this, but I may have trouble unlocking all the tracks on my second account as I am still struggling to do it in my main account (plus, I don't know how many there are to unlock outside of Top Gear and Nordschleife).

I THINK it was to win all the beginner mode races. And the ticket is for a level 5 car.

Thank you very much for the explanation (I quote it all because it will be useful to anyone else with doubts) :) I will be waiting for the qualifier then.
