Thanks everyone...
I'm going to bed, will try again tomorrow.
At least the seasonal events earned me enough to buy an FGT. Last set of races before I start the enduro's...

Is everyone changing brake bias for the qualifier ? I wasn't going to because I thought only DFGT wheels could change the bias and I didn't want an advantage over other players that couldn't.But if everyone has worked around that then i'll start experimenting.

Hello, first post here. Been reading GTP News for a few years but never really joined in the community. But i love challenges and i cannot stay away any more ;-)
Followed the steps to create a GTP_ account and been doing some sector 2 driving tonight. Great fun!
But can someone explain or link me somewhere so i can see what those divisions stand for? etc people writing they got div. 3 bronze. And will i only race those people in my div later on? Thanks!

hi,
i have a question. how can i import a replay when i have to do it.
I searched the ps3 folder on my hard drive on my ps3 but i found only my progress file in gt5. or can i import the replay to a usb source only in the game???
Ah yes and another one.
I have at the moment for example on sector 3 a gold trophy earned with time
xxxx Last night after 3 tryes only hoooray^^ My question is: are only times allowed between 15 and 28. january or are the records that were made before this time period also allowed?
Update from GTP_Wwrruumm: Sorry really ! Didn't noticed that with the not allowed posting of the times
EDIT BY MOD: Laptime removed, you are not allowed to post laptimes. Please read the instructions in the firsy post and in the Registry post.

Welcome to GTP
The divisions you see in people's signatures are from Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Most people will have to update their signature after the divisions for GT5 are announced.
We have divisions so that while everyone competes against each other and there is an overall winner, people can compete with drivers in their own division as well. So there is an overall winner each week, and separate divisional winners.
When you watch your replays in the GT5 Replay Theatre, you can select "Export to XMB". The replay then becomes available in the XMB menu of the PS3 when GT5 is not running. You can then transfer the replay file to a computer using a USB stick. The replay will be in the PS3>SAVEDATA folder.
No, times from now are allowed as well, but please only submit your times between Jan 14th and 28th.
Also PLEASE do not post ANY information about your laptime or splits on the forums or GTP chat.
Thank you, all the best

Fair point. All in all, I suppose that more or less justifies things.
That very well may be true. I however, am not a top notch driver and the 'gold' ark is a pretty ambitious task. I was thinking more of people like myself (I hope there are more of us...)
I meant that the experience given in the latest round of seasonal events was pretty wild. I was suggesting that they may not be as generous, as in it might take more than a single 5 lap race to get you to level 12.
I can't disagree with that. I didn't mean anything against those who chose the qualifier. I just thought it was a peculiar choice given then reasons I pointed out. I did however, overlook the point you made above, which as I stated is probably the most important point of all.
Will we have to rely on events like this (ones already set up in the game) until PD release a mode that lets us verify settings, etc.?

Just quick question as someone new to the forum - Is this worth participating in if your skills are pretty non-existent? Not sure of my exact time on these sectors (and obviously wouldn't want to post that regardless) , but I know I havent even gotten the Silver for these events yet.
The whole things= sounds pretty fun, but just wanted to see if theres some sort of skill-level I should aspire to before bothering to submit times/set up a new account etc.
Of course, theres a few weeks to improve too!

There's no reason to shy away because you don't think you'll be as fast as others. Regardless of where you qualify, you'll get the opportunity to spend as much time as you want each week on the specific car/track combination. Even if you don't think you are fast now, you may surprise yourself with how much you can improve not only your results each week, but your overall skill level by putting effort into the WRS.
No one ever got to be the best by competing with people they could already beat.

Absolutely, this is one of the best ways to improve your skills believe me, This from someone who has had to work their way up from the very bottom 👍

I would say that, that is the way to go, to be ''slow'' and work your way up to div 1, much more fun that to qualify in div 1 and don't win one week.

are there already some people who cannot improve anymore?
I have tried now for 3 days and i am unable to beat my best time.
the 3rd challenge is one which can be improved more easily compared with the 2nd one. However that is in my case.

I believe everyone can always improve, that is my mantra at least! You will find there are times when you hit a brick wall or genuinely can't go any quicker. Not so in the qualifier but when we run the actual WRS events, you will be able to view the replays of other competitors, this is usually where you find you have taken a slightly slower line or could carry a couple more mph around certain corners and next time you do the track, you will be better at it.
The members in here are extremely helpful and will often give you lots of advice to help as well if you ask. I notice small_fryz has already posted some helpful tips earlier which are definitely worth a read.
My advice for now is give it your best shot, if you have hit your wall, great, save it and submit when you've nailed sector 3 as well (although from experience, you can sometimes go back to a challenge after a day or two and nail an extra tenth for no apparent reason!). This will place you in a division reflecting your current ability. Then enjoy participating in the variety of events that will be put on and make sure you watch how the top drivers manage their times each week by viewing their replays and learn from this experience. Hopefully then you will see yourself improve and begin to rise through the rankings.
Additionally, racing others online can also help as they can often give you pointers and tips, I certainly learned a lot this way. There is a group of us who regularly meet in the chatroom to discuss the weekly task and organise ad hoc races online. Feel free to join us, we're a friendly bunch really! PM me if you need anymore details on this.

Zoky long time indeed mate
👍! How have you been?
As for your issue, I had the same complaint
, BUT here is the solution!Create a new GTP account then gift the Citroen C4 / Nascar / Ford GT to your GTP account and win the seasonal race. You will be level 16+ with over a $1,000,000. Will take you about 30 minutes in total. Then you can run the qualifier straight away, or do more season events to unlock it further. From that point on just play your usual account and gift the cars over when you need them for racing.
Definitely worth the 30mins to setup 👍

This is a bit of a pain really. Not only is it two pretty long qualifiers where one sector would have been more than enough, but it's sectors where the number of completed laps per 100 is probably 10 or less because this track is so much trial and error (and a bit of luck how the car actually decides to land). Added to that is the annoyance that you can't load a ghost and you don't even get sector times displayed mid lap so you've no way of knowing if the lap you are on is any good. It's a good way of extracting very sub-optimal laps from everyone, but I don't think that's the point of the exercise.
Without other people's times to follow I always place a lot lower than I am capable of when splits are being provided (several divisions) and whilst I obviously don't expect splits here this is probably several weeks worth of effort for me to produce a division 4 laptime only to be producing division 2 laptimes in the WRC a week later.

I think the point of the qualifier is to give the WRS staff a starting point for divisions. It's inevitable that it'll take time to get the divisions to what some may say is the "right" level.
My plan is to spend a week hard on 2nd sector, then the next week on 3rd sector. I think trying to do both at the same time is a pain. Try and treat each one as a seperate lap. I don't think you could ever find a qualifier that suits everyone, the key part why I think this was chosen, is that it's a set event within the game.

Do you ever do anything constructive, or is your whole life just an obsessive attempt to pick apart the efforts of those who create things for the rest of us to enjoy? I used to be that way, until I realized I was just an insecure, unskilled hater living out the old cliche-'Misery loves company'. Good luck with that.
There is no perfect solution for the qualifier because of the way GT5 is built, people with experience have been discussing this since the game was released. Your solution is?

Good for you. It's too bad both your detailed assessment of my personality along with your "one-size fits all" approach to remedying it is neither correct or applicable.
My main gripe as I've stated is not being able to load any sort of reference data such as one of my ghosts, or even having mid lap splits which would provide some sort of feedback on a lap that is entirely hit and miss. If you enjoy racing that way then this will be right up your alley, but to me this is like wearing a blindfold and seeing what laps you end up with which are both legal and fast. The answer will be not many due to the lack of info mid-lap and the nature of the track, where going easy means the lap is worthless in the first place but feeling compelled to complete it because you don't know how it matches up your best so far, and going fast which results in a low number of laps ever making it past the halfway point.
That just doesn't seem the best choice for a qualifier. People from various divisions scattered all over the place because some got a few decent laps in, and some weren't able to put in a lap that was representative. Of course you can adjust the divisions once the WRC starts, but that's really no different to just chucking everyone together in the first place and letting the divisions become apparent from the standings as the weeks pass.

Very good Nigel, nice to see some positive thoughts of how to approach the new qualifier.
I think the whining about the accounts and the chosen qualifier is done to death now, your going to do it or not its the individuals choose, lets see some positive comments now I personally found the in game AMG Driving Academy hard to make the gold times, still dont think I have better than Silver on the full lap beginner never mind the intermediate.
Having said that Im loving the refreshing change that the two sectors has brought to the qualifier, yes theres no ghost which adds a new dimension, using a tuned car instead of the flat response putt-putt car, not that Im any good with them as past records show.
But if these ideas are anything to go by bring on WRS I say, looking forward to it now.
Phillip.

You can try and cut it what ever way you want, not having ghosts won't drop you from a division 2 driver to a division 4 driver.
Somehow I expect we will see the same old faces at division 1, not milling around in Division 3 because they didn't have a ghost.
It's two runs, somewhere between 3 and 4 minutes. It's not particularly long, perhaps in one go, but It's split up nicely into two separate sectors.
Where you place in the GTP divisions will ultimately bare little relationship to how long/short track the track is, how fast or slow the car is, whether there are sector times or not, whether there is a ghost car or not. Where you place will have almost everything to do with how fast you are as a driver, and how much time you have devoted to this qualifier.
If you put the time in, you should be at the right level, ghost or no ghost. It's also worth remembering, that if you are slightly out sync relative to your fellow division members pace, the WRS admins may choose to promote you.

And your proposed solution to the problem is where?
I don't give a rat's ass about your 'main gripes', everyone is running the same quali, everyone is dealing with the same limitations. Nothing you said in this post or any other changes my assessment of your incredibly grating personality, nor am I recommending you change-the world today is built specifically for you and yours, I just chose to leave it behind so I could sleep with some measure of peace.

I expect that you will find a few div1 racers get misplaced quite badly, and I expect this qualifier will get dropped pretty quickly if that happens.
I disagree on the ghost issue though. On a two minute lap a ghost/sector times is worth over a second, purely because you can use your time more effectively by abandoning many laps much earlier and by fine tuning the lap corner-by-corner instead of having to deal with it all in one go.

Then you gotta find your own ref points at various places and use them as splits
Thats what I did.. and although it isnt exact.. it will give you a good idea of when you are on a fast run.

People, first of all do not forget to have fun at this!
I believe that Nurburgring is challenging, even for the more experienced.
So this qualifier will show how quick you learn a track and car.
Do not give up easily, there are videos on the net, check them out and try if their way works for you.
If you hit the wall, get your mind on something else, then go back, it generally works to change your thoughts.
Yesterday was day 2, I gained 5 seconds, my level is still very bad on this I find. I fear I I will not make the division I had in GT5p.
WRS is for all skills, if you do not compare you do not know where you are and if you are improving.
There is no shame in being slow, it just shows you have a bigger chance to improve.
