Post Race Result printing

[amar212]

Yesterday played a F355 in a sake of "old-times" and then it strucked me.

GT4 already have an option of direct-printing a PhotoMode pic via USB printer (many new models are supported).

When original F355 Cahllenge cabinet hit the market, it had a small printer which was printing a post-race statistics and generals for every race.

Logic is pretty much simple - connect a USB printer to PS3 and then print a post-race report on A4 paper - also viewable on-screen after the race and savable on MC -with various details, graphs and such.

Like:

Gran Turismo 5
Gran Turismo Mode
Gran Turismo World Championship
Race 5 - Trial Mountain - 20 laps
Car Used: Toyota Gt-One Race Car '99
Game Mode: A-Spec

Grid Position: 4th
Finished: 1st

Best Lap: 01.13:987 (in Lap 12)
Best Race Lap: 01.13:987 (in Lap 12) amar212
Total Race Time: 25.45:098
Top Speed: 324 km/h
Average Speed: 177 km/h

Tyres: Racing Medium
Pit Stops: 2 (lap 8, lap 15)
Overtakes: 7
Gear Changes: 456
Damage: 22%

Then comes a nice telemetry graph and race-progress chart.

And in the end, total sections statistics as seen in Time Trial mode in GT2 game.

Would kill a ton of paper, but it would be nice to have it.

That's a pretty good idea 👍


I'm pretty sure Famine and the UK GTP meet racers would appreciate it aswell.

Good idea!

That would be great... maybe a screenshot of this could also serve as proof when posting laptimes on GTP leaderboards.

This is a nice idea Amar 👍 - it would be nice to get an on-screen version of this after every race with the option to print if needed. On a similar note i'd like the option to change the in-car head-up display for what ever you prefere. For example at the moment you get either the time difference from you to first place or if you are leading you get the time difference between you and 2nd. I would prefere to be able see the time difference to all the other cars in the race, their fastest/last lap time etc. All in all i think the GT series needs an upgrade in the results/telemetry and general in race information.
