GTP_WRS New Drivers and Promotions

[couttsy21]

Congratulations to all promotees and welcome @hawksfan2001 ...hope you enjoy your time with us.

@couttsy21 : Big congratulations on the Div 2 promotion . Was wondering how long it would be before you left us slow-coaches in Div 3

@couttsy21 congrats...my nemesis is in D2

congrats @couttsy21
Can't imagine how you could qualified to D4. Maybe you was drunk?

haha well it was around xmas and new years I did it so I could of easily been drunk! Cheers guys sure it won't be long till you guys get your promotion too!

No I think its just down to improving massively since starting the WRS TTs and the online races help alot too. Also as @nursemorph said I probably didn't spend long enough on the qualifier. Was difficult though cause I actually thought I had a half decent time on them. Was hard to judge as I hadnt done anything like this before and obviously there was no leaderboard to see how competitive you are which I find helps alot! I'l have a much better idea next time of what to aim for.

Think that will be the end of my run of podiumns now im in D2 but happy to be there! Congrats to all the other promotees! 👍

[Tuffers86]

You get promoted after three official results and a sufficiently improved handicap, I only glanced at your results, but I'd guess Week 7 going official is what did it for you.

Thanks, that's my devilish reign in d4 over then.

Is it possible to be promoted from D3 in D4 for example?

 

[Thematic]

Is it possible to be promoted from D3 in D4 for example?

Demoted? No, not currently.

 

[mistersafeway]

Not quite right, it is possible to be demoted, but it's something that needs to be requested and agreed upon by the admins. It's pretty rare though and, as I said, completely optional. No risk of a 🤬 performance messing with your ranking.

 

[Thematic]

Thanks, forgot about that too.

[Racingworld68]

Welcome to the new guys, and congrats to all promotees 👍

 

[gm matthew]

I've done it... D1 Silver... it's almost surreal.

I think that doing well at GT Academy last year has ignited a new-found determination within myself to get better at Gran Turismo, if nothing else to improve my chances of making it one step further this year. On reflection, even GT Academy 2012 was motivation to join GTPlanet and the WRS in the first place.

Of course, now I'm in D1 Silver I have to start looking at D1 Gold, and I think the main thing that I lack compared to the aliens is technique. In particular, in both weeks 2 and 8 I was virtually as quick as the winner through T2 and T3, but my T1 let me down; even my theoretical best T1 would not be enough. For example, I kept it in second for the first chicane at Monza, whereas Mike and Bart went down to first and were able to gain more time.

I think it's because I eventually find a technique that is pretty fast and I tend to settle for it, whereas the D1 Gold guys keep pushing the envelope and find a technique that is even faster. If I'm ever going to make it into D1 Gold, I will have to adapt my mindset.

Of course, congratulations to Spud for the double promotion to D1 Silver - with a DS3, no less. Congrats to all the other promotees and welcome to the new drivers. 👍
