I'm surprised the car isn't purple!

Just out of curiosity checked green hell leaderboard...
P10 is whole six and a half seconds behind P1.
Good luck whoever is going for it.

Had to go steal Tran's Honda 2000 to set a time with. It says I have a 2:14 flat in there optimal but this should be safe as I imagine I'll need to be spending the majority of time trying to get a decent X2019 time at the Ring.

I was surprised myself with a 7:05.something at the ring today...in the RB2019 Competition....

Skipped Barcelona and can’t find the motivation to go back to RBR in the Mission-X, but having a blast at GVH. First 50 miles…

 

[Barareklam]

And just more curiosity, currently green hell 58 people in gold while 2383 in gold on Grand Walley

Current world P61 at the Ring is in silver...



But I think I'm going for it tonight

Does the Nurb TT count as a special event or a regular TT? Asking for my ego...

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Another 25 miles in the S2000. Suspect this one is going to be very tight and this time might be good enough for 400th in 2 weeks time 😂

Yeah I would agree with this assessment. Good luck to all, but this seems like an alien's kind of race. Just did a few laps and I'm sitting in the 2:32-33 range at the moment. I'll be lucky to crack silver on this one just like that stupid GR TT we just had in the dirt. And I fear we haven't yet seen the lowest these times at the Ring will go.

(This came to mind as soon as I saw the name!)

Hopefully this one is a bit nicer than the GR Yaris rallycross trial.

Mate, if you have 2:32-33 on green hell go directly to Amsterdam and talk to Kaz to hand you over the trophy personally 🏆

Well those first laps in the S2000 are a pleasure, what a joy compared to the previous once! I'm going to have fun with this one!

Last sector needs a lot of work and is definitely the hardest part for me 😁
But a descent start

As to this multiple account thing, does it matter a tin fart in a whirlwind where you place in either half_sourly's board here or GT7's leaderboards? Is anyone being paid for their placement on either? How does being in the top 100, 1,000, 10,000 on either board going to affect your practical life? Does it put food in you or your family's belly, a roof over your or their heads, clothes on your or their backs? If seeing multiple accounts above you on the leaderboard bothers you, just take their lower entries out of your mental list. Or, better yet, keep your own stats spreadsheets and do with them however you like.

After a few laps- 6:30.xxx at The Ring with controller on 120hz flat screen, TC1, CSA weak, but I touched a wall and that didn't even count. Gold is going to be extremely difficult even with wheel/ VR. 😖

What @Dragonwhisky said… let @TheNormsk have his moment

You can look at this from multiple angles. But there is no real reason for someone to go out of their way, logging in to multiple accounts, just to see their own name multiple times on the same leaderboard. If you want to track your own performance VR vs non VR you can use pen and paper. Use the PS5 screen shot feature. I don't know. Figure it out. Is it really too much to ask to have one account per person? I guess it is.

What does top 100, 1000, 10000 matter? Nothing. You are right. Lets pull the plug from to servers so we can all do productive things like helping old ladies cross the street.
