I just realized that trying to finish GT Life before engaging to WRS was practically impossible (and a little bit dumb, considering there are still some updates that will change things...I am specially waiting for the update which will allow us to save endurance races, mid-championships and so on)...
Will give it a go this week for sectors 2 & 3
Good luck everyone

So did some more runs this weekend.
1) reversed the trend, where I used to win a second easily, I find it easy to lose 2 seconds now.
2) Played a bit with ABS on 2 and TCS on 1-2-3, it gives a bit more control when jumping unfortunately, but no time gain for me.
3) Turned off all the information on the screen, complete HUD and times. I broke both sector records in the next 30 minutes. I drive with the bumper view, so I do not see speed, RPM, gear or current time this way. But I have been driving so much I know the sound and where the limits of the gears are by now. It seems that purely concentrating on the line really helped me, got the apex a lot cleaner. (gains were only .200 of the total time, but a lot better then the general +4sec on the total I had been driving regularly.) Very clean runs as well.
I'm very close to a psychological limit (what I believed to be Div 1 time, but doubt that very much now), so want to dip under
before I submit.
The game is not over.
=====================
Had some very strange runs:
Both rear wheels on, but no front wheel, is legal then.
Happy not to have to submit that run though.

After a few online races with friends and spending three or so hours on the GTP Registry assignment, I've realized that I'm absolutely terrible at this game. I knew that I wasn't great, but didn't really have a feel for the severity of my lack of skill.
I'm going to give it another go next weekend before I submit, and hope to shave a good couple seconds off of my times. If I don't, I'll be seeing some fierce competition in Division 10 Bronze.

I was going to submit my times, but today a little devilish voice ordered me to get the T500 RS wheel. So I did and expect it to be delivered tomorrow. Maybe this wheel will gain me a few tenth of second.
oh man! That will be awesome...let us know how is your gaining.
BTW, are you buying the h-shifter? If so, how much is it?

I think I might be done with my times.
I set my best sector 2 at the start of last week after a few days on it. Since then I haven't really been able to get close to it, and even when I do get close it's not really in danger of being beaten.
My sector 3 got reduced to a time I was happy with. Whilst I know that a better run at the start of the lap would yield even more time (and I've done better starting runs frequently) I think I'll probably give this one up. It's not maxed out in the sense I know I could get more time if I ran it a lot more, but I think it's actually better than my sector 2 relatively speaking, even though I can get closer to repeating my sector 3 than I can my sector 2 (odd situation really).
Maybe I'll pick one of them and give it another few days to get back up to speed and try to knock a bit more off, but psychologically once I got the last couple of tenths I'd been chasing off sector 3 I felt a little more safe about the time, and my drive to improve it dropped off a bit.
Both times basically set in a week; granted that I did give them quite a bit of time each though. Division 2 would be nice, I'd be terribly disappointed with less. Depending on what the time-spread is from Div1 Gold-Bronze I'd harbor a slim hope of squeaking in there towards the bottom. Maybe if the total time variation from gold-bronze was around half to three-quarters of a second; even then it might be asking a bit much though.

What does it mean by GTP_Account?

It means you need a PSN account with GTP_ infront to take part in WRS.

I think that the difference between the absolute quickest Div 1 bona fide gold aliens and the lowest Div 1 bronze racers will be much more than half a second.

I guess you might be right.
With the limited participation in the WRS in GT5P towards the end it was difficult to gauge whether/how much/if D2 Gold overlapped D1 Bronze, and how much distance there was between D1 gold-Bronze. I guess assuming .375 per sector (making up the .75 total) between the top and bottom of D1 isn't that much so there might be a little more room in there.
This is all fantasy though. I'll happily take a D2 ranking which is where I tended to find myself in the limited number of GT5P WRS events I ran (there or thereabouts).
This qualifier did teach me a little bit about weight transfer and also braking though; or at least I managed to work out a few tricks to get through corners more effectively, so in that sense it was a useful experience.
Since day one however I've found GT5's physics/visual cues regarding weight/roll/grip to be more to my liking than GT5P, which I found understeered by default all the time and lacked the screen roll that indicated the car's attitude/weight distribution during cornering.

I'm thinking the difference between D1 Gold and D1 Silver will be approx .5 - .7.
The difference between top D1 Gold alien and bottom D1 Bronze will be probably 2 seconds.
But thats just my guess...

I would agree - looking back at the orginal GT5
quali the top time was in the 2'11 range and the last guy to make D1 was 1.3 secs behind that. This quali is much longer so I think a 2 sec gap would make sense - the trick is you don't know just how quick that fastest time will be. 
In the end, if you don't give the quali a reasonable try it won't take long for you to end up in the right division anyway. You keep winning WRS events in your Div that will put you on the podium in the next one up and things get worked out quickly.
Originally, I didn't want to do more than 4 hours total (2 hours per sector) but I have now done at least 8 and would like to give it a few more tries just to make sure I end up where I should be. In addition to that, this combo is really addictive - now that I've turned the driving line off I actually feel like I could be a real racer.

I feel as if, had I read this thread prior to my submission, I might have spent more time on it. Reading the last few pages, it seems that I invested nowhere near the time and dedication most of you did :/

Don't worry, that seems fairly common. My advice is not to try the qualifier any more, because if you cut a good amount of time off you'll only regret it... which is exactly what I did.

It depends on your goals. If you want to win a few weeks in a lower division before getting promoted then you are correct. If you want to start out right where you should be and look to improve right out of the gate then spend a little more time with the qualifier.
Honestly, the WRS to me has one main goal - become a better driver. Sure you can say it makes you a better hot lapper but that eventually turns into a better racer and a better overall driver. The toughest promotion you ever get in the WRS is from Dx Gold to Dx-1 Bronze in my opinion but the people who seem to work the hardest and end up making a real difference in their skills are people in the Bronze group.
With all the hype around where one ends up in the Registry, we really should hold off on that just yet. Sounds like the OLR team have something new up their sleeves that is completely different than what we saw in the GT5
Registry and WRS. 👍
