GT5 The GT5 Prologue Hot Lap Challenge

[Kevin Watts]

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!​

Out on a holiday now, will get home on the 4th of November, but I'll be playing the F1 2010 that I bought here

2.22.303 here, but no ASK, no TC, no helps at all, manual gears and cockpit view...

 

[Kevin Watts]

Sorry I've not had time to do a lap, work and two new systems to build gave me little time to practice

 

[Ben Buitendijk]

I did it in time Trail, Ralf, so I guess it's with the same settings as you? TC and stabilty are off for sure, they make me slower, and I dont know what ASK is?

 

[Raf Nix]

Oh, didn't know these helps are unavailable. ASK is a stabilizing control program

@Kevin will we get a weekly hot lap challenge when GT5 is out? 1 car per week and we can run it for the next 19 years :roflol:

 

[Kevin Watts]

Yes so get a PS3 sorted out

 

[Ben Buitendijk]

No Bram, we also have 70 track variations

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Cool then we are finished in 3340. Just in time as Gran Turismo 6 is scheduled for release in 3341 (Q2)

 

[Ben Buitendijk]

Ah yes, I already heard some rumors of the Playstation 427 being released in 3335
