The GT5 Prologue Hot Lap Challenge

Gentlemen start your engines! The format is simple, each week a car and track will be chosen to run hot laps. Starting Saturday 12pm GMT and finishing the following Saturday 12pm GMT you will be invited to submit your lap times for that challenge. Once the challenge deadline is met the slowest placed driver gets to pick the car and track for the following week (this is usually me!)​

Taking part is simple, fire up GT5 Prologue and select the car for the challenge, click on 'Arcade' in the menu then choose the track and then select 'Time Trial' from the menu and then select the settings shown below:​

Transmission - Manual
Active Steering - Off
Driving Physics - Professional
Active Stability Management (ASM) - Off
Traction Control - Off
Driving Line - Off
Front Tyres - Sports S2
Rear Tyres - Sports S2​

Once you've selected that you can then start hot lapping, look at the online leaderboards or load a ghost lap. There are no tuning options so everyone runs the same setup.​

To make it fair and competitive please don't cut the track or abuse the run off area's to gain an advantage, at least half the car should be on the track at all times and on street tracks don't use the barriers to give you an unfair advantage, the idea of the hot lap challenges is to run clean laps in the fastest time possible.​

Good luck and above all have fun!​
 
Congrats for the world no. 3 spot Cristian!!! About the DSG gearbox, well read about in Wiki (thanks) & that's surely an interesting thing!! I was surprised at first when I had no gear change problems like I normally do (have to press clutch & release accelerator), thought something went wrong with the coding maybe? But it looks like it's DSG for sure... Well tried again yesterday only to better it to 0'57.654. So let's have the same car on Suzuka East this week. What say?
 
1:52.264 for now, and yes it is extremely frustrating to get a really fast lap red flagged. Had it happen to me too, that 1:52 is not the fastest I've seen. With some more patience I'll break into the 51s. Fun to slide this car around though :p
