Welcome to the thread!


This thread is for WMA members. There's a link in my signature to register and join.




WMA members please read: This will not affect your leaderboard positions. This is just something all WMA members can compete in, during their free time.



Every other week, I'll post a new track/car configuration, on the Monday. The first week we'll do this will be Monday, September 3rd. You have until Sunday, September 16th, to set your time.



Participation is NOT necessary. Participation is optional. It's just a fun thing.


You will need:


  • A PS3
  • A copy of Gran Turismo 5
  • A camera
  • The given car choices


For each week, and every entry, you must:

  1. Build the car you need up to spec
  2. Practice until you're ready to run a fast lap (optional)
  3. Run a fast lap, following the track (specifics will be given)
  4. Post a photo of your lap time in this thread
  5. Post a photo of your tuning setup in this thread


Validation: All times should be run in online mode, with grip reduction set to real, and tire wear on.

If a driver's lap time seems unreasonably fast, the driver may be asked to submit a replay, WITH full HUD (heads up display) showing all on-screen info, (tachometer, speedometer, and driver inputs.)

This is very good idea Mel . I like it and its good for me as a new joiner to this group to compite my time with the fastest drivers here in the group 👍 :dopey: . But how it will work each driver he will choose a car and track and set time for it and write it here or you the one how will chose them .

Sort of. Every two weeks, I choose a car and a track. For those two weeks, everyone runs that car, and that track. And, I'm taking PMs about which cars and which tracks we should run. :) So, in four weeks, you'll be able to tell me which car and track to run.
 
Instead of camera which is long and quite expensive. You could just ask for the replay and watch over it...Im definetely participating in this...

Also how about using the recomended cars? That way you dont have to worry about someone overtuning the specs.....

Haha, the specs won't be an issue, I promise. :) Ummm, when you mention the replay... Do you mean downloading it from a file sharing site?
