I have a bit of a problem (I think).
I need to use a different TV tonight. Before I've been using an old plasma TV, only HD ready, using the HDMI as input. Tonight I need to use a different TV, full HD. same HDMI input.
Just did a couple opf laps, and there seems to be a slight delay from my input to the PS3. It's most noticable when doing fast downshifts going from 6th to 1/2nd gear, when that I do with the paddles vs the sound is not fully syncronized. It's like (me thinking) the PS3 gets a bit overloaded when displaying in full HD and struggle to keep up.
I have all display settings set to Auto. I'm thinking a good idea would be to force the PS3 to display in a lesser resolution, but I'm not sure how to do it.
Any ideas.

I changed the resoluton to 720. There wa also two sound options, and I picked the one wihtout Dolby, etc, and I think this might have done the trick.
Now its only in my head, looking and listening for delays. The mind is powerful though.
Thanks for all the help. I should be finw now.

Pre-race briefing | Spa Francorchamps | Round 8
Event information - Saturday, March 23rd
Connect time: 20.00 UTC | 13.00 PDT | 16.00 EDT
Green Flag time: 21.00 UTC | 14.00 PDT | 17.00 EDT
Division 1 host: Dr_Watson Division 2 host: skengdigi
Race distance: 150 km - 21 + 1 laps
Vehicle inspections begin at 20.45 for grid preparation, please do not chat during this time.
Field will then line up in qualifying order after a track reset in order to set the grid for the race.
≡Track Notes ≡
Track boundaries for all races in GATE 2 are universally defined as follows:
The white lines along the edge of the track are considered to be the track boundaries. These lines continue onto the rumble strips at each corner. At no point should there be no more than two wheels over those lines/rumble strips. two tires must remain in contact with the track at all times. The preceding defines the "track." hard surfaces beyond white lines and curbing/rumble strips such as concrete, "greencrete", or turf and other run off is not considered to be track. White lines, curbing/rumble strips are track and even if you only have two tires on their very edges (to be reviewed and confirmed by as steward) it will be considered clean.
This rule is, of course, also pertinent to both regular season qualifying and the group qualifying to be held especially for the pre-season event.
≡Track Specific ≡
Race Start: The start Line that we will use is located after T1, under the "TOTAL" sign. So you can all take it easy thru T1 and sort yourself on the straight leading down to Eau Rouge.
Pit Entry: Prior the pit entrance, there's a tight right/left s turn. When going in to the pits, make sure to stay close to the grass on your right side for optimal angle in to the pit lane. DO NOT use any barriers or walls as a guide or to gain time/speed.
Pit Exit: Make sure to respect the white pit exit lines. You can cross them, but only if you're 100% sure that the track is clear.
As always, if an incident occurs as a result from a driver crossing the line (Either the one on track, or the one exiting the pits), it is the driver that crossed the line who is at fault
≡Running Wide ≡
There's a few spots to be extra careful at.
- Turns 3/4/5, Eau Rouge, keep 2 wheels on or inside the rumble strips at all times. Where the rumble strips end, keep 2 wheels on or inside the white line.
- Turn 12, Pouhon, going wide here gains you quite some time. Make sure you stay inside the track limits.
- Turn 17, Blanchimont, as above.
- Turns 19/20, Chicane, be sure to keep 2 wheels on the rumble strips/track on entry and exit of the chicane.
The in-game fuel calculator doesn't function correctly. You must do a test run of approx half distance and calculate your own fuel usage. If you follow the guidelines set by the game, you will run out of fuel
A guide to rolling starts by Dr_Watson
A staggered double-file line is used for our rolling start for the first lap after which the race will begin at the start/ finish line.
- Pole sitter will begin on the left side of the track.
- Even number position qualifiers will be on the right side lane of the formation. Odd number qualifiers will be in the pole sitters lane on the left side.
- Once the GT5 race countdown has completed and the race event has begun all drivers must hold position and wait for confirmation from the host to proceed. Use your handbrakes, sit silently, report any suspicious latency between cars or lag jolting/skipping. After the host has given the go ahead all drivers will begin to slowly form up in qualifying order. The leader must act as gatherer, they must not pre-maturely advance from the group, it is their job to keep the pace slow enough until all cars are in position then proceed to formation speed.
- Even pace at 100 kmh / 62 mph,
- The pole leader must wait for the grid to line up behind them completely on the start straight before starting the race by applying full throttle at the start/finish line.
- No weaving is allowed during formation lap.
- You must not overlap the car ahead of you.
- Do not pass any car until you're past the point the pole sitter started the race at.
- Jump starters will be given warnings or penalties depending on severity.
- If a driver is damaged on formation then the damaged driver must communicate this through text chat and continue at a reasonable speed to the pit area. The other cars will continue on as normal and the damaged car(s) can join the group as they come around for their first lap. At this point the formation lap will continue on for a second lap after which the race will begin. If it happens once more, the same contingency will be applied and a third formation lap will go on. After this, no more "formation restarts" will be acceptable and the affected drivers must either retire or start far behind the group. Drivers experiencing extreme lag will be asked to leave so the other drivers can race.
- If, for any reason, a driver misses the formation start and stays behind still on the track the race will not go on, it must be restarted to eliminate the obstacle.
≡Host Inspection Guide ≡
Reset track. All cars must be off track, in the lobby, check for the wrench icon denoting drivers changing settings. Advise drivers to not speak or go into settings and commence inspections. If any drivers go into settings during checks, they must be restarted. All cars will be inspected at the same time. Before checks begin, set the number of laps or any other required race settings.
Proceed with inspection.
Weight checks are conducted first for the cars that must carry ballast.
Set the weight and call the cars to track in this order:

Not a bad race for me I guess. Worked out a little better than I had thought it would after I came out from my 2nd stop in 10th place. I didn't like the way the car felt with 7-8 laps on the tires, no way I wanted to do 11-12 so I went for a 2 stopper. I think in the long run it worked out better for me, might have finished in the top 6 somewhere with a 1-stopper.
Thanks for the racing as usual. I know GT500 cars are being planned again but I won't be participating. Might as well take a break for a while after I finish the Miata series I am racing in. No offense to Tony but I won't be racing in any series he competes in from here on out. Would be nice to be in contention for a win every once in a while and with him racing it's just not possible unless he DC's.

Very sorry guys, I had to stay an extra hour and a half in work and didn't even get chance to jump on gtplanet quickly it was that hectic. Completely gutted I missed Spa. Hope all went well.

I want to give a big shout out to all the Marshals, Steward and Administrators. I know it takes a lot of work to put something like this together and you need to know that it is very much appreciated. This was my first opportunity to race (if you can call it that) with such talented drivers and to a person I found you all (regardless of age) to be clean and fun to be around. I am looking forward to what comes next…Bob
