Haha ye still want to have a race with dan tbh we should organise a time and all meet up for some races
!
Do some practice in the rain without rain tyres, that is all I have to say
.
@Tidgney
Awesome efforts! Look forward to some more updates from you in the coming hours and of course, to a future racing session with saidur, you, and I (great fun saidur at the nurb, I later had some really good races with tony1311 from greece who joined later along with a very pacy unknown Japanese driver and a French driver scuderia62)
I'm happy now that stupidity is not required for an on it T3, congrats IMMORTALPILOT for your current P1.
My prediction of a .2 some days ago being a good lap seem to be coming to truth, a .1xx would be something to savor for a long time, a .9xx would make CNN news. (I don't buy it that a human can run a .9xx, too many minor miracles need to take place in the space of a little over a minute).
I was expecting you to drive off like a speeding bullet in front of me in the first few races, good to know you are Human after all
. I heard of tony1311 before so when I saw his name come up, I was expecting super fast race pace and he delivered in the first race. Do you guys usually race in the rain then, he seemed enthusiastic for it? There was a really pacy French driver when I first went online in GT5. I would say there is a good number of really fast people who don't take part in time trials much. Real life drivers are extremely fast especially F1 drivers in driving sims. Someone like Fernando Alonso would easily place in the Top 20 in this seasonal event I predict.
Congratulations Dan on doing your first good lap
(Understatement of the century). There is plenty of time left before closing of the time trial, stranger things have happened and the times already are in alien territory. Plenty of people will be trying to beat your current time now and most of the people competing for the top spot seem to be doing loads of laps with extremely fast sectors so it might be a matter of time before someone gets that lucky go where you can do no wrong.
Just a g25 with a wheel stand pro. Erm I suppose its what you are used to more than the kit involved, but I would say that the more comfort you have the better. I know the DFGT pedals suck majorly and the button shifters aren't very useful so a better wheel might help there
.
I really like the button shifters, it is like perfect for my hands.
xD, I laughed hard @ presidents men, hahaha. Sure people who are faster than me won't talk to me either, this is an elitist community, simliar to the stone cutters
I find elitist people on any racing game seem to the slower ones or people half-decent. Like there is cockpit user elitists, who think anyone using cockpit view would be seconds slower, or people who think using a wheel is at a big disadvantage to a pad user or to get into the top 250, people have been spending thousands of laps to get there or people who think upgrading pedals from say a DFGT to say a Fanatec wheel with ClubSport pedals will gain them in excess of 5 seconds instantly and that is the only reason why they are slower than the fastest people. Also people who attribute minor corner cutting as seconds of difference and that is the reason why they are seconds behind. That covers some slower drivers.
There are also some half-decent drivers who are quite big headed in that going around a track with some pace makes them think they are the best in the world or something and we are talking people who are probably slower than me. I'm not close to the level of F1 drivers yet regards to driving fast in driving sims and that is in repetitive hot lapping, imagine race pace. It is very humbling how good real life people are at sims and also the fastest drivers in the virtual world. Hopefully I can close the gap bit by bit one day, I consider myself medium to slow speed as in any motorsport, the gap currently between me and top will get me sacked

whao thats fast!!!!!
btw, IMMORTALPILOT is GTP too
I know, should have said GTP tagged driver.
Edit: I just realised on the EU leaderboard, I'm the first person over 1 second slower than Dan
. Anyone want to compete for my spot
.
. 
felt well gutted for you but then calculated your last sector and was rather jealous instantly 
It achieved equal or inferior results I found, as it compromises the grip for the following right kink, meaning you need to thread the needle even more than usual. Riding the grass down the final straight though allows me to hit 162.5km/h, rather than 162 dead at best non grass, so it gains maybe 0.025-0.035 secs If timed perfectly.
