Where will be all the current lap times posted ?
Will it update automatically or will you - baxnimis - have to do it manually ?
I know we have PSN but I'm especially interested in PAD users ranking
PSN rankings could be viewed also there thanks to GT5net 👍
My first idea was to update manually once a day but I'm working on it 👍

from seeing your times I think anyone without the name holl01 (or some derivative thereof) will be significantly handicapped!!well, those who do not possess a g25 wheel i believe will be significantly handicapped for this combo, **** happens

The clutch does look like it offers an advantage... but I don't think it's that big. I could pretty much keep up with Maseau's (SIC?) ghost until the T2 split - on some laps I could get ahead of him up to the hairpin, but he did pull away a bit on to the straight down to T2.
Unfortunately I then lost >1.5 seconds in the last sector
think my lines might need some work!
One thing I did notice was that some of the fast times are using the run off areas on the exits of the final 2 turns to lessen the radius of the corner and carry more exit speed.

Seeing the number of driver for this event, I might suggest to reward points until the 100th place instead of the 30th
I don't think we should allow the using of Clutch but it's up to all 👍
Might not be a good idea to change the rules at this point regarding the points..
..30 spots with points keeps us trying... 
About the clutch.. I have no problem people using it. But in the past I think it has not been allowed in the most respected OLR events so I would like it to be like that this time also.. It would only make the competition more even. Just my opinion.

I just tried about 10 Laps with clutch and the advantage is immense.
With manual clutch i'm more than 1 second faster.
I think we need a ranking for clutch drivers, or prohibit the use of it.

+1...especially with these older cars wich change gears slowly,it does make a big difference...

I raced this last night before bed for a good hour and some and I have to agree the clutch users have a massive advantage in this round especially on the last section ... considering it's such a major comp it hardly makes someone a better racer because they have a wheel that lets them gear up with no momentum loss? Something should be done about excluding the clutch hopefully for the remaining rounds or it will be a pointless championship and the winners will all have a clutch 
Round 1 has already started and there's not much we can do now .. but it should be addressed for the remaining combo's imo 👍

Well, as far as I know holl01 is driving without the clutch so there's much chance still to score points even without the clutch.. (not good enough excuse)
So don't quit mate, we'll need you 👍
