Are you sure you are using correct settings, no driving aids apart from ABS 1 is allowed and no oil change. Grip reduction on track edge also has to be set to Real. If so your new time is quite impressive, you seemed have made a remarkable improvement since last year so well done if you have been using correct settings.

I'm using the correct setting just thought i try different tires, which felt like a good idea at the time

You cannot change tires, the car must be run using the tires it came with when bought. Please do not post times if you are not going to follow the rules. It takes time to edit these times each night and I don't feel like having to go back a re-edit the leaderboard just because you "felt like it was a good idea" to change tires so please follow the rules and only post times in which you have followed the guidlines. Thank you.
 
Not relevant to "competition" but before the deadline comes I thought I would provide my new best time.

2:05.211

Replay available upon request.
 
Event has ended.

The following members move on to round 3 as per the rules:

Giorgio_57
favres21
erazer13
Ed_Night
Growling
RacingLine
gt_adam_us

This list will also be added to the OP. Congratulations to everyone who participated, a job well done by all. :bowdown: The next event will be added shortly.


Event is now live and has been added to the OP. For some reason, only half of each of my photos are showing up so I went and typed in the car and track to be used. I will add it here also. The leaderboard will still be in the OP.

Also, you should check replays on this one. There's so much time to gain corner cutting round the back of the circuit, and running wide at graham hill bend.

I'm sorry, but I don't have time to go around checking everyone's replay unless the time seems really suspicious. In the final round, I will be a little more strict on the replays, but for now, I just have to rely on everyone's honesty.


@RuddRacer Re-read the bolded part. Everyone is still free to compete in any round, but to be elidgable for the 6th and final round, you must compete and finish in the top 10 in each event.

Hey guys, I have put some more thoughts into this series, and here is what I have come up with. Including this event, there will be 5 weekly time trials with a 6th and final, winner take all event...6 events total. To be eligible to compete in the 6th event, you must participate and place 10th place or better in each of the first 5 events. The 6th event will be the final, winner take all event. Car and track has already been decided upon but I will not be releasing that information until that event starts. I will be awarding a prize to the winner of the final round which I will ship to wherever the winner lives. The prize will be a yet to be designed, custom made wall clock to commemorate the winners accomplishment in this series. It is for this reason that I will be asking for a replay from the winner of that final event. The replay will be closely analyzed as I have the ability to dissect the replay data and look for any and all signs of cheating, the same way I did in a few online Seasonals a while back where I was able to tell a few certain individuals were indeed cheating. I just wanted to put that out there so everyone can pretty much rest easy knowing that there will be absolutely no cheating tolerated in that final round. As for the first 5 events, I am going to continue to rely on the good members of this great community to continue to keep things honest here and not resort to cheating as I simply don't have the time to go through and check everyone's replay data against cheating. However, if I do see a time that does look suspicious, I will have no problem in asking for a replay from that person so that I can analyze it. If that person refuses to hand over a replay, they will be disqualified from participating any further. The same will hold true for the winner of the final event. If they refuse to submit a replay, they will be disqualified and the win will go to the second place person, barring they submit a clean replay. I'm just trying to keep interest up here with this and also include the winner with a little prize. If there are any questions/concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. I will be starting the design for the clock tomorrow and when its finished, I will include a photo of it in the OP.

Thanks Mitch, it was only due to the wording that you used to identify the leaders as the ones moving on to round 3 that I questioned it.

No problem, sorry for the confusion.

Will update the leaderboard later today. Been busy with real life stuff lately but I will get it done and started.

Nice lap @RacingLine. You pretty much nail the second sector which i seen to be very inconsistent.

But just for a point of reference, Gt Academy qualification time would be somewhere down in the 37s. I think just to make the cut we would have to run a 37, and the super fast guys would be in the 36s. This has been the trend in the past 3 years. Everytime i feel like i have ran a lap that i cant improve on, there is about another second and a half that can be attained.

It's because it is very hard to find good reference points around here, Especially 3rd sector with braking and keeping it legal. In GTA i wouldn't be able to be so close to track limits due to cones

If you look at the cones on round 1 last year, there's none on the exit of T2 (Druids) or t3 (graham hill bend) so you could actually use even more track.
