GT5 GT5 Time Trials Archive

[UMC 22]

The question of who the fastest drivers are in the GT5 community is soon to be answered! There's no opposition and no excuses here. It's just you and your machine versus the track.

The time trials will be open to all RaceDepartment members, both licensed and unlicensed. The only requirement to take part is that you own a copy of GT5 and abide by the specific restrictions imposed by the TT. Events will run on a variety of tracks but will make use of GT5's borrow feature to ensure that everyone uses the exact same car with the exact same upgrades. The cars will be supplied by yours truly.

The prize given to the winner will vary but may include items such as cars, helmets, suits and paints, or the choice of car/track for a Club racing event. And of course, you'll win the respect of your fellow drivers.

Above you can see a little hint of the car and track that will be used for the first TT event. Stay tuned!

Quick Q, can we use our own Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2 '65 for the TT or does it have to be your Ross? btw I will try and not be the slowest this time hopefully

No offense, but I think the rules above are pretty clear and answer that question already.

 

[Hyman Logan]

My apologies won't happen again brain not quite working today.

 

[Celtic Pharaoh]

Hey Ross! I'd like to sign up for this event. I'll add you on PSN (My PSN ID: Tariq_Gamil)

 

[UMC 22]

... but how do I borrow the car from you to drive at Monaco? I'm a little new to the borrow feature in GT5.

Again, instructions are in the first post under the 'How to Enter' section.

I must stress that everyone reads the whole thing properly, because if you do not follow the instructions and rules then you will likely end up being disqualified.

 

[Celtic Pharaoh]

yes, sorry, Ross, I just read it now. Sorry about that

Hi guys
just did a 1.44.924 with minor tweaking of the gears and so on.

Ross the M5 is really nice, thanks for that one.

 

[Dubravko Sparovec]

Hi!

Love the car and the track as some of you already know. The lap time is 1:45.973.

 

[Gary Middleton]

After playing around with the gears I done 1.50.442.

Update

Due to the forum migration and the fact that I am on holiday next week, this TT will be extended to three weeks. It will now close on the 6th December. Note that I will not be able to accept friend requests while on holiday, so if you want to take part in this TT you need to send your request before next Tuesday (29th).

I thought Côte d'Azur would be more popular than this, to be honest. A classic which a great fun to drive yet hard to master. Is it the track that people dislike or the car?

 

[Bradley Vanian]

I think the track/car comination is better than TT1 and it was extremly good in TT1. I just don't think many people are intrested in GT5 enough anymore.

 

[UMC 22]

I agree that interest in GT5 has waned recently, both here and in other communities. However, I had over 35 people requesting to be added for the first TT, but less than 10 this time. You're saying interest in the game has dropped that much in the space of one week? I personally don't think so. It has to be the car or track, and I'd like to know which so that I can get a better idea of what people want.

The forum migration may have something to do with it, but it can't be the only reason.

 

[Markus Hakamo]

I somehow missed the first TT, but at least this is good combo! My lap time here after some setup tweaking 1:45.499.

 

[UMC 22]

Nice lap Markus! Straight into 2nd place.

 

[Stuart Pocock]

I've done ten laps the fastest i've done is 1:46.2 my slowest was 3:12!! do you win a prize for writing off the car at the first corner?

I wish their was a prize for taking loads of photographs of your car on 2 wheels.

I wish there was a prize of how many body parts arent on the car but on the track were you kinda crashed

 

[UMC 22]

Depends... you might win the bonus prize.

 

[Stuart Pocock]

I've just relished that i haven't saved my best lap replay

 

[UMC 22]

I'm afraid tht rules you out of the bonus prize draw then, unless you do another lap and save it. You only have to get in the top ten, which shouldn't be a problem given this events lack of popularity.
