Ok. First 10-ish laps.

10 Laps?!?!?!?! Are you for real or slightly exaggerating the truth?

If you can dial in like that after just 10 laps, you'll be P1 in no time........ thats incredible. It took me 5 hrs to set my time, which is less than .05 ahead of your first splits.

Out of Division much? That's hardly a division 2 skillset there. Thanks for ruining my Sunday.... i thought i'd done enough to keep the vultures at bay!!!:nervous::ouch:

I was D1 with the pad (used pad with all sims for years and years). Got the ol' G27 in January, so I've had good bit of time to get back up to speed. Still not there yet. I did think my qualifier was better than D2-Gold (although my 2nd sector was a bit rough).
 
Hi all as I am new to this I have not yet had a chance to run the qualifier but thought i would turn a few laps to compare with the boys at work and as i beat them i thought i would put it up here and see how i compare with others.

S1: 36.650
S2: 19.487

BTW i have done this with a controller not a wheel.

Is there anywhere we can see/put the total lap time to see how our whole lap went

I think your T1 might be incorrect, or you are running with SRF on, or you've selected the wrong tyres......... because that puts you P1, and with a controller that is impossible given the competitors you are above.

:scared:

Geez Alan....... impressive stuff. I'm confident that you won't be D2 for long then!

But mate, you could have done me a favour and not posted this round.... i've been P2 for the last 2 rounds, i dunno if i could take finishing 2nd again!!!!

Each week someone comes from the clouds to pip me, then disappears the week after back down the rankings, or doesn't submit at all...... it's bloody frustrating!

Sorry, I don't mean to ruin your Sunday! :ouch:

Around 10 proper flying laps where I cross the line with intent to set a proper time. Maybe 5 - 10 on top of that where I initially coasted around a bit to get a feel for it, occasionally restarting after overdoing it. I know the track fairly well anyway from the offline-play.

I tend to reach this kind of speed fairly quickly, and then struggle to improve. The splits I posted may be my best ones. So don't count on not getting P1 !

Still makes me feel completely inadequate though!!!! I'm turning green with envy:ill:

Looking forward to the battles until we move to D1 then!!! (P.S: I'm not really..... you'll spank me:scared:)

You know, i find that i struggle with that also..... i post a good lap usually within the first 30-40mins of each challenge, then spend 3-4hrs trying to find out the line i took and how i strung that lap together before i manage to improve on the time..... it's annoying!
 
Left a tenth on the table in the last corner but found a few tenths more overall.

T1: 37.021
T2: 19.184

Submitting
 
Submitted with times on the board.
Which was.
T1 37.697
T2 19.623

Looks forward to the next event.
 
[...] as the last 2 hrs spent on this have been the hardest challenge i've ever experienced in GT5 and tested my anger management skills to the extreme!!
^ This!!! :yuck: :grumpy:

Honestly can't get to grips with this one. Do you guys ride the curbs la Initial D style, or do you have the ABS set at some magical level?

Either way, a bit of a dud for me.

T1: 37.322
T2: 19.489

:yuck:
 
Submitted.

Probably not great for Division 3, but I haven't had days to work on it. Didn't like the car, either. Looking more forward to what's next.

Also, submitting to the WRS_FetchBot was kind of weird. Took me 2 tries to get it right.
 
Tight at the Top...... 0.062 separating the Top 4, and 0.104 for the Top 5....

Whoever has the best T3 wins..... even a miniscule error a the left right chicane downhill or the hairpin could see you go from P1 to P4, or vice versa.
 
Last throw of the dice....

T1 37.348
T2 19.485

resubmitting these. Had more than enough of this now ;-) good luck to all.
 
Thats me done
T1: 38.195
T2: 20.153

Just can't get down to the 37's and 19's but had fun trying
good luck to all still giving it a go

I just received my divsion ranking from the qualifier and wanted to have a quick crack at this before it ends, however I think I might be in the worng part of GT5. I am trying in "Arcade Mode" in the front screen using Premium Spoon CRZ (as per the front page only using the "Arcade Mode" cars and not the "Favourites").

My question is I see a few people mentioning the changing of the brake bias, but I can't find any option to change settings. Just the usual Tyres, SRF Off,ABS 1 etc setting screen. Am I in the wrong part of the game, or how can the brake bias be changed without using a "Garage Car"?

You are in the correct part of the game 👍

Brake balance us an option in the RA Menu. Easily accessible on a DFGT, slightly more tricky on a DS3...

DS3 you need to set up the controller so you can access the RA menu... There are several threads and posts around here to help you with it! :)

You need to go to the controller options screen and assign RA controls.(if you are using DS3)
i would advise getting rid of the wipers,horn, flashing headlights etc.

With the brake bias question already answered I'd just like to add, that it would be very nice if you'd update your signature to reflect your division and type of controller (DS3/wheel).
 
Does anybody use lower brake settings? Or is something like 6/10 simply faster?
I have used 3/6 ABS 1 for my current splits. I am still looking for the perfect brake settings though.
