Well, me being me, I just couldn't leave well enough alone and give up. I went back to Brands Hatch to see if I could capture the missing couple of tenths that I was leaving out there. I just couldn't let it go, its not my style. After about 45 minutes of close runs, it happened. I was on a 6 lap consecutive run. I came around for the 7th lap and it was like magic. The car seemed glued to the track and right from the start, I was up on my ghost, pulling away with each corner I took. This was it, all that I had been working for....the "super lap". All I had to do was bring it around that last corner and I would be home free. And then the unthinkable happens. On that last corner, a corner I could take blind-folded by now and have perfected to a "T", the back end begins to come out. I had made the fatal mistake of getting on the gas just a tad bit too soon coming out of the corner. At first I thought I could save it and keep my advantage, but it just happened too quick and before I knew it, I was sliding into and through the pit entrance, coming to a rest against the wall. There was no anger, just a gutted feeling knowing that all I had been working for, that "super lap", was gone in an instant, so close, yet so far away. I still can't believe it. I tried to continue on, but there was just no way, as all I could think about was how close I was to an "alien" lap.

I saved the replay because I am sure this was "the" lap. I'm going to compare sector times with the D1 times when we are all done here, but I am most positive that that was a D1 lap. As soon as I can put this out of my mind, I'm back on it. Now that I know just how much time I am leaving out there now, there is no way I can stop now. This is the kind of thing that will keep me awake at night now, knowing there is that much time out there for me to gain. I did it once, so I can do it again. I am now on a mission, for better or worse.

Thanks for reading, just thought I'd share this gut wrenching experience with you all. The agony of defeat.
 
So, in case 1.03 really brings the RA menu in arcade mode, will we be forced to do everything from the beginning?
The deadline is kinda close, too.
 
The same questions keep coming up, so we'll keep giving the same answers. :P

I'm also a little concerned that there might be an update at the start of January before the submission deadline. If they decide to fix the RA functions that don't work then someone could easily improve their time on both events by 0.5 seconds, and I won't have a chance to improve between now and the submission. I'd hope the mods would do something if this happened.

There are all sorts of "fun" scenarios that could happen. We will react as best we can to keep things fair and balanced. That's all we can do and all we can promise. Whether and/or when those scenarios are realized is completely out of our control.

Short answer...maybe. But probably not.
 
I don't wanna do the quali again. I hope I don't have to, but does the ra menu help much in gt6 it doesn't seem to work like it did in 5

The qualifier is not a competition, it is a leveling exercise. If the game provides an update that changes the physics, or other characteristics, we'll adjust accordingly.

That does not matter, In GT5 I started in Division 5 and worked myself up to Division 3.... In this case I have no idea where I am standing but moving on up through the ranking doing tt's is part of the fun for me. I gave it my best shot at these combo's but as I said I feel kind of rusty now.... slowly finding my earlier form back. From the two of you, I only had the honnour to race Dean online, and there where times I wasn't able to follow you....

In fact it does not matter where you will end up, aslong as you are with drivers with the same skills to compete against, that is where the fun is for me. And that goes for online races and TT's. I only hope there are gonna be more lowered ranked drivers to compete against then there where in GT5. But there will be lots of fun, that is what I mainly learned from joining the WRS in GT5 !!

That's the very same thing I said earlier. 👍 I started in D4, and ended up in D2, and it was great fun every step of the way. :)

I can't be bothered with this any more. There's probably another 4 tenths on Brands Hatch but it's never going to come, and I went back to willow briefly but it so undrivable that I'll just have to hope that when I ran it the first time, I really did get all I could from it.

Not too thrilled with the laps really when I know there is more time I could get (let alone what potentially could be there). Definitely won't make Div 1 this time but I'm losing the will to live running around Brands Hatch so I don't think I care anymore.

I remember in a GT Academy you beat me quite a bit and I was Div 2 Bronze, I submitted something I should be able to reproduce all the time, not a super lap. Hoping to move up in the raking by driving consistently fast in WRS afterwards and not just the one qualifying event.

Sweet, I know it's a placing but it feels more like a weekly wrs time trial. I guess those are the side effects of running many wrs events. I submitted yesterday despite leave some time out there, but that's going to be the case every week :)

Good luck to everyone still running
 
I have to re-submit my lap replays because one I submitted before (Brands Hatch) was invalid, but the fetchbot denies me because I have already submitted previously and it states "You are only allowed to submit once". What should I do?

We'll take care of it and will contact you when you can resubmit.
