You can't 100% prove it though, it would make more sense if it was allowed.

What if we asked you for a copy of your full lap replay. Would that be proof?

You really need to give this up. My patience with you is wearing very thin.

We've been doing this for 10 years, this is not the first time this question has come up. The qualifier for most of Prologue was at Fuji, what if you drove all the way out in the overrun tarmac on the final corner before your hotlap?

We didn't allow that either. Suspicious times will be reviewed and dealt with.

I think you're only worried about being the very fastest driver on this qualifier, and it really doesn't look that good on you. Just do your best without cheating and have fun.

A copy of the full replay data would be sufficient proof. It was fun before I had to re-run my lap twice.
 
well ive posted my best times on both tracks in both cars im obviously going to retry to see if i can do better, but after you save best lap replay and the whole replay what do u do next?

Man that sucks. Luckily I haven't lost power for more than 15 minutes. But trees are breaking and falling on driveways (luckily my car was in the garage). Let me repeat: ice is causing trees to freeze and snap (there's no wind at all) :scared:.

I don't remember seeing anything like this.

Same thing happened in '97, but I guess you weren't even born yet :P A tree in our backyard is bent over, its top touching the ground. Don't know if it'll survive, we'll see when it all melts, I guess.

You seem to have lost your shift key, and your apostrophe key. Please find them before posting again.

From the second post in the qualifier thread -

  • Deadline for initial submission is Monday, January 13th at 11:59 pm GMT. The registry will be closed to submissions for a short time after this deadline.
  • If you are unsure of the deadline click here.
  • You can only submit one time. Be sure you give it your best effort the first time.
  • To submit your time, start a new conversation with WRSFetchBot (Subject title: GTP_WRS Qualifier)
Provide your PSN ID and country details, like this:

PSN: GTP_EDK
Country: USA

Then attach both 'Best Lap'/'Ghost' replays in zip file form, one file for each replay. It's important that you use one Zip file for each replay, 2 separate Zip files. You will get an automated response within 15min, letting you know whether your submission was accepted, or if you had an error. If you have an error, don't panic. Just review the instructions for submission and submit again. If you are having trouble and cannot figure it out, please post here with your question. It's very important that you not discuss times or post replay files in the public forums.

and will disqualify outliers.

Outliers. Meaning that yes, if you are 1 or 2 mph over what these guys have tested, then that's probably within an acceptable standard deviation. If your 15 mph over then we are looking at an outlier, and would be considered suspicious. Seems perfectly fair ruling to me.

It's possible to go 'off track' and gain 12mph, but you could go off track and only gain 0.5mph if you really wanted to.
 
I look forward to finally learning Streets of Willow Springs. I know there's the Hudson seasonal, but that's not the best car for learning tracks.

0.5 or 1 mph faster at the line doesn't count for much in the grand scheme of things (two full technical laps). If someone does gain that advantage, it will be a drop in the ocean. Just do your best within the limits, and it should be enough.

You know you have the pace to finish in the top few, let your performance on track do the talking against the desperate people who want to take advantage. If your goal is to finish first, that's a different story.

I am running at 2 PM, just to keep the sun out of my eyes. I suppose I should try 2 AM :mischievous:.

Dat turn 2 tho... :banghead:.

At GT Academy the cars that were on street tires performed best when the tires were cool, so maybe night time would be best, although I don't fancy trying it, it's basically impossible to see! :lol:

EDIT:

Midnight. ;)

I would have thought you had it down already, being that you've already set a "perfect lap".

I have a preference, not sure it makes much difference though, as the temperature seems to stay the same.
 
Sorry if it says it somewhere or someone has already said it, I've skipped through it really fast, is it the combination of both times time together which determine the division placings?
 
DTM
Renault understeers like a FWD suposed to :lol:

Luckily there are no trees on the track. As it would be such a shame to see the tree coming that kills you. Therefore oversteer is better :P
 
Not sure what everyone's strategy is, but I think I'm going to run Willow and get really comfortable with my time before I move onto Brands Hatch - the track is completely new to me and I reckon there's going to be wider spread of times around there...probably :lol:

Yes combination of both laps.

I've experienced the same in real life. It of course depends on the track surface and tires, to some extent.

The most extreme example was at this race. The car stuck like glue in the morning, but the track surface is very open, and when the sun heated it up, it became slick.



Last weekend at Laguna Seca, it was 72 degrees on Sunday. That's the warmest weather I've had driving at Laguna, and the car was definitely slippier in turn 11 and turn 2, the slowest, tightest corners. Some sliding is probably beneficial in other corners.

I already know Willow because of the recent seasonal event, but I'm still doing that one first. Had a go at Brands and that BMW is a handful, gonna be hard without properly functioning FFB, my G27 needs some new motors :/
 
How about we do what we've been doing and just honor the code. It's not going to make you a better or faster driver by trying to manipulate the system into your favor. We don't compete for money or prizes, so if someone doesnt have enough self pride for themselves or the respect of others to do things within guidelines, then they're better off not participating. It all comes out in the wash eeventually. The staff here are great at what they do, so don't cry if you try to cheese and get caught.


The qualifier has been live for not even 12 hours and y'all have already managed to rub Kevin the wrong way over nonsense.

Do you guys think PD modeled track temperature? I don't. It is just dynamic lighting and thus visibility preference. I am just going to mix up time of day for variety sake.
 
Out of interest, how much time do people have invested in GT6? My stats say 12 hours which I'm guessing is on the low side...

One of the rules is don't do anything against the spirit of the game!

I'm an average player and nowhere close to the speed you can carry in the game, but saying that, what would anyone gain from cheating? It would soon show during the weekly time trials anyway.

Additionally, I would think that even an alien like yourself would be able to benefit from a few more runs at the qualifier. We have a couple of weeks!

Have fun with it mate!

Match fixing has been in the news a lot lately, they are found out in the end and the game carries on regardless with the true sportsmen!
