Welcome one and all, to the qualifying race for the Weekly Endurance Series!
This is open to all who wish to participate in the WES, and will be a permanent fixture so late-comer's can join in any time they want.
Therefore there is no time limit, or closing date.
The format is very simple, and should be easy for all to participate in.
All you have to do is this:
1: Go into GT Mode.
2: Select the License Centre.
3: Select the Special Licenses section.
4: And finally, select test number 5.
Once you have done all that, DO YOUR BEST!
The Gold, Silver and Bronze award times in the test should be a good indicator of how well you are doing. These times however, are NOT necessarily where the divisional boundaries will be, especially as an awful lot of us already have completed the test and gotten Gold.
But if you get a Gold time, you can rest assured that it should be a good one and you will probably be in one of the top two divisions.
You CAN discuss your splits fully if you wish, and your full lap-times to the second and one decimal place (eg 1:34.2xx). But please keep your actual final submission time to yourself.
If after a period of time the majority wish to see how they stacked up, I may publish the results but not where the divisional cut off are.
Now!
Not that I distrust anyone on the Long Race Series board (or for that matter on GTP), but, I want you to prove your times.
As the game takes care of the semi-cleanliness of the lap, and wont let you wall ride or cheat in any way .As long as you have completed the lap, thats that.
All you then need to do is provide me proof of your time.
Any of the following is acceptable:
1: A Max Drive save of the fastest lap you have done.
2: A screen capture of the final time up on screen.
3: A digital photo of the screen with the time displayed.
4: To be honest, any method you can find to get a display of your time will do, but the first 3 above are preferable.
To get the Max Drive save, you need to save your fastest lap by using the Save Ghost icon as usual. Then do the Max Drive thing and get it onto your PC.
Then, you need to E-mail your .max file, photo, screen capture etc to neil@stumpyharland.fsnet.co.uk
In the case of taking a digital photo or a screen capture, the time you have done is shown on the screen as soon as you have finished the lap. And stays there until you choose whether to retry or exit.
The best advice I can give, is to put some serious time into this! If you dont, and dont do yourself justice, you will find yourself in a lower division than you deserve to be in. You will completely out perform the rest of your division, and everyone else will KNOW that you sand-bagged the qualifier just to get points on the leader-board.
I cant think of a bigger shame, than to have all the guys think that about me. So dont do it! OK?
Let's have fun, do the best we can, and get this series going strong for a long time!

(but no harm in trying now, is there?)
