WRS New Drivers and Promotions

[superwally]

Thanks to all, I'm looking forward to the weekly competition. With no FFB on the PS3 and a long time before we can get our hands on GT5, this is a great way to continue playing GT4 as I was running out of things to do. I should have started a long time ago. Generally I race with a DFP, manual transmission, minimal or no assists whenever possible. Wish my paddle shifters on the DFP would stop skipping gears as it is not always convenient to reach over and grab the shifter. For me it is still more enjoyable than playing with the DS2.

I'm absolutely stunned at the lap times some of you are able to muster. I worked and worked at the qualifier race, and I know I left some on the table, but two frakking seconds!!!??? Devastating. I have some work to do to just compete with some of you-fantastic! I like the weekly photos as well, didn't have time to do that this week.

Thanks again to all that take the time to set these races up, and to all those who regularly participate-after only a week I'm having a far better time than racing Nascar 07 online with a bunch of wall-riding kids.

Sphinx, I am MaxDrive equipped, so replays are no problem. I like the idea of a randomly selected weekly replay as well.

Good luck to all.

Welcome, Superwally!

You're one of the few that enters here while already in possession of a MaxDrive 👍 You'll learn a lot when you compete in this tough field. Within 4 weeks you'll beat your qualifier time with ease

Have fun racing!

 

[superwally]

I don't hope you want to fiddle with our newest driver, Ron

It's the Wally that's super! You guys are too funny!

Hugo, I have to get used to driving properly again. Most of the time in GT I drive race cars with sticky tires in 2P mode with a friend, it changes the way you drive. I never felt like I put a whole lap together in the qualifier-I need to start rolling on and off the throttle more smoothly and do a better job in the braking zones. Waaaaay too much lockup and tire squeal.

Sphinx, good thing my girlfriend spent a semester in Paris! If I get the shifter on the DFP fixed I'll try to do an english-language update of the thread you linked me to. Thanks again.

Why do you guys always say "hope you have fun"? You WILL have fun. Welcome to the series peoples! It's awesome. Race when you want to, put as much time into it as you want to, improve your skills, and enjoy! 👍

That is true, but some people(not many, if any) may race and find out that they don't like.

Very true... Indeed.
