Haha. I can see it now.
Time submitted: 2 Days, 16 Hours, 42 Minutes, 23.934 Seconds

And I did it 4 times. This is my fastest. :dopey: :dopey:
Hahahaha, so you did the engine tune up to a stunning 2HP then, I take it. ;)

@TimBrad
Managed to get a T2 of 58.103 and submitted it, always lost heaps of time in the last turn, so I called it a week, eheh.
 
Sup yall'!!! Post #1 here! This will be week #1 for me at the WRS. I think I'm doing pretty good for a newb (T2 58.5??). I would have been lost though without setup and tuning help I found in these discussions! It's been a blast seeing the incremental improvement with each settings change! I never knew that settings could change lap times soo dramatically! Just wish I knew enough to come up with the settings for myself :dopey: :) :)
 
Hi to everyone in WRS,

Just submitted my time to CFM (who by the way does a great job and is ever SO quick and friendly in his responds (BIG thumbs up).

I look forward to be competing against you/ resp. the clock and to improve together with all of you!

I just had a baby boy, so my racing time is rahter limited, as you can imagine....however I will try my best!

Good luck to you all and I'm happy to be part of WRS !
 
Welcome aboard jumpputt and stinger05. We have a lot of drivers for our division so this is somewhat considered as 'the Lounge'. Make yourselves at home. Just don't sit there.............or there..........or there. :dopey:

How did you get 2HP? I put a stage 4 turbo on it and only got 1.5HP. I actually pushed the car faster than driving it. :crazy:
 
Hi jumpputt and stinger05! Like Bleu said, there can be a lot of us here with a tendency on some weeks for brand new drivers to pop up out of no where and steal all the podiums from us. Despite that we're a good bunch with quite a few friendly rivalries (right Bleu? ;) )

And don't think for one moment that this is an easy division, either ... some of the guys around here can post times to rival Division 2 drivers ... so stay on your toes and I'll see you on the track! ;)
 
Right Koly. You got my this week only because I can't drive that bloody Skyline.

Back to what someone said earlier about a Rallye event, I just might have to switch to DS2 for that one if I can't get a clean lap. I love Rallying though. It's so much fun.
 
I've never used the DS2 ... used the controller for the XBox on Rallysport challenge and PGRII and did great in both, but maaaaaaaaaaaan I can't get used to this little fiddly thing on the Playstation ... it *has* to be a DFP for me, or I'm screwed.

Well, I'm screwed anyway in a Snow or Rally event!
 
I don't use those nobs. They hurt me more than they help me. Since playing GT3 on DS2, I've gotten pretty good with the button sensitivity. But I only do the DFP now.

Rally ... oh god ... I am *NO* good at rallying at all. Is there anyway to practice rallying in this game? Like some kind of freestyle driving that we're doing here (rather than a license test)?

Wouldn't Time Trial in Arcade help, or the Dirt & Snow area in GT Mode?
 
Time Trial ... of course! They separate the dirt tracks to one side, don't they? I'll have a look at this tonight, I think.

Teledriel, you up for a joint practice just like we did with the Ring?

Yea, Dirt & Snow are the bottom left section, and also in GT Mode, think it on the bottom below the License center.

Bring it .. you choose car this time, I choose the Skyline for Ring .. ugh ~ maybe that helped me a little this week :P At least it wasn't a stock Skyline this week. And now I have the Max, will be little easier to look at things. Just hope we have a week for the run at least, and it not week #8 :crazy:
 
Okay, I'm going to play with your replay a little and maybe pick a car and track later tonight. I'll email you.
 
Ello Stinger

Bad part of being over in Japan right now..
A) I miss most the regular traffic here,
B) takes a while to catch up on reading posts so some get skipped, but not intentionally(Results day are bad, by time I see the next week there are about 30 posts all ready in it)
 
Can I ask my fellow D3ers a question?

I've just picked up a DS2 for the first time ever ... I know that sometimes it's easier to get a fast lap using this rather than the DFP, but with me never having touched one before, it has been too easy for me to shy away from ever using it.

However, Teledriel and I are bouncing some Rally times off eachother (as a little practice for the future inevitable), and I've got quite a background with the XBox, Rallysport Challenge and ... ofcourse ... the XBox Controller.

So tonight a ran a few laps in a rally car with the DFP and while it was fun, it actually felt unnatural ... I was yearning to pick up a controller and race from third person perspective.

So in the end I relented, plugged the DS2 in an after a couple of laps of getting used to the button placement, immediately beat my wheel time by over a second.

The only thing that I struggled with was the button placement ... the XBox controller is not only a different shape, but all the the driving games use the front buttons for acceleration and brake, while GT4 - by default - has these mapped to the gears.

How many of you use the DS2 and how many of you then remap the buttons in some capacity? Is there an easier way rather than the default layout?
 
I would think that they can be remapped not sure though as I still run automatic, so all I ever use is the Left Stick to steer, and the Right D-Pad for the accel and brakes.

If possible, then maybe I can get use to a Manual that way, but think I still will need a DFP ..
 
Right now the Right thumbstick does nothing. Accelerating and Braking is handled through X and the middle left button (whatever that is).

Funny thing is, I tried turning manual gears *OFF* and it works when I use the wheel, but I can't see the option to enabled auto gears for the DS2 ... not that I'd want auto for rallying, but it sure would be handy to find out where this option is.
 
Hi i'm Matt,

I just qualified for division 3 yesterday but i've missed the deadline for the skyline challenge. I cant wait to get racing against all you guys. I'm hoping to make some friends and also some rivals here to have great races this season.
Here's a bit about myself. I've been into GT since the first game when I played it at my neighbour's house. I then got my own PSone with a copy of GT2 and instantly I was hooked. I had always considered taking part in OLR with GT2 but I never thought i'd have the time for it. I've now recently left high school so I have a lot more spare time on my hands so I thought now would be the perfect time to start OLR. I often go and help my uncle out at various race tracks with his MK1 Escort track car and i'm currently waiting to start my apprenticeship with the local BMW garage.

I cant wait to get racing!!!!
Here's to the WRS :cheers:
 
Welcome Matt.... Alot of good drivers here so hope ya ready for the challenge. But most are friendly, even the Div 1's and 2's :P I am not the best, but have learned alot from all in WRS.
 
@Nat ~ if ya go in options, and scroll down to the Controller section. Select DS2 1P, then you xna change your settings there for what ya want.
 
Thanks Teledriel, does anyone know when the next event will be posted up coz im so psyched for racing.
Im looking forward to some close competition with SimRaceDriver. We got almost identical times in the qualifying race so this should be a lot of fun.
 
around 9AM EDT Tuesday's .. +/- 5 mins usally .. Same time the times are closed for week prior.

Results are posted by 15 mins after the deadline (most times) and Nat has the unoffical board out when she can for Div 3.

Don't let the QT times fool you there kid!...I'm much slower then that! :D

EDIT By the way vtec_guy...Welcome to GTPlanet & the world of WRS here in Divsion 3....Watch out for the 'lady' drivers here.....they're fast..matter of fact..they're faster then most of the 'men' here...so, keep one eye on the road in front of you..and the other on your rear-view mirror! :)
 
Holy crap, kids! I thought my lap was FLAWLESS and you guys beat me out by 3 seconds! I was sure I was going to get a podium but WHAM! right in my face you guys pwned!

...I'm jealous.
