I cant make the qualifying session tonight but I should be able to make the one tomorrow. I practiced with some of you today. It was fun but hard at the same time.

Yea minus the pile up we had a couple times.

These cars look soooo much faster when watching someone in GT5. The exact opposite of real life. Video makes it look so much slower that what it felt when you were in it, hanging it on the edge.

time to turn over the TV, so I won't update further. Times in red are wall-bounce and/or shortcuts. Looks like the official word is that the apparent wall-bounces on HandofGod's 2nd timed run (1:20.015) were lag, but he rubbed T1/2/3 pretty good on my screen...

Car looked pretty dented up to me to have been from lag???

 

[HandofGod25]

Well I did hit the wall on the first lap... i seriously believe a wall hit in the tunnel would only slow me down anyway. I will admit i cut the left into the tunnel a bit tight but the outside wheels were still in.

 

[filphil89]

I'm pretty content with my first qualifier. For some reason I can't enter any rooms so off to play some Eternal Sonata for me.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Wall bounces and/or going in the grass with these cars does nothing but slow you down. I'm not worried about it.

If anybody asks about our series in-game. Just type in bit.ly/gtp-sm2 and when they type that into their browser they'll be whisked to the first page of this thread.

Good lookin' out! 👍

Time for you to qualify right now!

Hey, I think we may know some of the same people. Do you live near Waterford Hills Raceway? That's where I started SCCA. I noticed another post somewhere else where you referenced your dad racing and a guy who rents out a ton of cars each weekend. Bruce Wentzel and his stable of Rx7s?

Yup, yup! He has been at it for years.

My old man used to run ITA and SN with the Mosers, Dougie Craig, the Kroms, Joel Hershoren and Mike Patterson before Mike switched to ITD & GTL with his Mazda GLC. We have two cars in the works for the near future for a father & son combo so hopefully we get out there soon. I love Waterford's layout, nice and technical and T1 & T2 are some of my favorite in Michigan. One of my old man's CRXs still run in ITA to this day.
So you probably know Ray Huffmaster being an SM dude? I am sure we could talk for hours, been going go WHRRA since 1991.

My first racecar was a 1986 Honda Civic raced in ITC. Was owned at one time by Mike Patterson, red #5. I bought it from Wolfgang when it was canary yellow. I painted it green and drove it for 4 seasons.

I am good friends with Greg and Brian Anthony. They were practically born at the track.

got home a little bit ago, and practiced again. Improved my best time by 1.2 seconds, I got down to 1:18.235, and I just realized I'm at 385PP, my engine isnt fully broken in yet since I had to buy a new miata after last season. ran a few laps with spankurmom, I think you were talking on the mic but I couldnt hear you sorry. I got the fan blasting on me because its hot as hell in socal, and I'm listening to phil hendrie. See you guys tomorrow

Yeah dude, my friend said the same thing, why the hell is it so hot in LA? Go up north a few hours and it's freezing. Total wtf m8.

Anyway. Quali's gonna be a scorchfest tomorrow.

I've got a lot of work to do to get my times up to snuff. But it is the pre-seasoner so I'm not sweating it too much.

Lots of fun to be had 👍

Ya I was just yelling at myself for my horrible driving I can't seem to run consistent times. But my car isn't broken in and once I get a wheel ill do soo much better! But good fun

 

[Wardez]

Yeah, I just now realized your RT's bro. Tough competition there xD

But yeah, a wheel would be nice but you should know Sam's using a DS3 too so no 'scuses!

btw 800th post! Wtf wow can't believe it! And we haven't even started racing yet! This thing's gonna be massive. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm not going to post today's qualifying results up until after I have the results for Saturday's runs. Keep everyone in the dark until we know for sure where everyone stands.

Edit: And the qualifying room is now officially closed.

 

[tyl0r_r]

Well that was my first qualifier for my first online league race. Unfortunately I only noticed the track had been changed on the morning of the qualifier. It's a far more entertaining combo, though.

I couldn't really keep a good lap together on my qualifier. Fudged a different corner on each lap and it kept me from matching my time trial best by quite a bit. Of course it's a lot different watching people zip around and knowing you're next then it is time trial-ing until you get it right

Fun stuff and good luck to all who qualify. If I'm lucky enough to make it in, hooray. If not, hopefully see some of you guys in a secondary race for non qualifiers 👍.

Edit: Thanks to all organizers and everyone who's pitching in to this competition. This stuff makes GT5 awesome.

That doesn't seem very fair or realistic. You shouldn't keep secrets from those that can't be there for every session.

Yeah I know, but with ask the gran turismo's I have played I've pretty much used a wheel. Its just something I'm use to. But I will get better through the season and besides this is just a pre season race.

 

[filphil89]

This isn't just the pre-season! It's the first opportunity to legitimately compete with some of the best.

 

[dsgerbc]

That, and it also creates an incentive to troll the qualifying room without any intent to qualify at that time, making it harder to connect for those willing to qualify.

 

[SPANK]

What I ment by it is that its okay for me to suck. but you guys are very good I give you mad props.

 

[filphil89]

I had a feeling that's what you meant.

I just wanted to give insight as to how I see this series so far. 👍

 

[CodeRedR51]

That doesn't seem very fair or realistic. You shouldn't keep secrets from those that can't be there for every session.

Or basically I don't have the time this morning to get it all organized and post it. I'll PM Wardez for what to keep track of and when I get home tonight I'll post it.
