Like my decorations?

A GT5 Prologue Time-Trial championship for anyone to join. It will consist of 12 events, posted below.

Rules:

1. All Time Trials are performed in Arcade Mode.

2. Professional physics only.

3. S2/S2 tyres only. Unless stated otherwise!

4. Try not to put laptimes in before the combo week begins, unless you have to. It'll be more enjoyable for everyone and keep the competition flowing better. But...if you know you're not going to be able to make a combo, put in some laps by all means.

Info;

Each time trial you do online, will be stored in the online rankings. Hopefully, most people involved in the points should be able to get into the top 100 so the times are visible. However, as time goes on the competition in all of the possible combinations of cars/tracks increases and gradually they are all being filled up with some very decent times.

As an incentive and a bit of fun, I will be giving out prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places at the end of the championship. Also, one prize to the person with most wins (who doesn't finish in the top 3). And, if anyone deserves it, I'll do a "most improved" prize...probably consisting of a couple of penny sweets wink

Above all, have fun...

...Who am I kidding? Above all, try your nuts off...annoy your partners, get as much play time as possible, you only get this one life...think of all the starving children in the world who would starve themselves just to be in our positions. To do our lives justice, we must spend as much time physically possible on our computer games. It's only fair.

biggrin

Good luck, enjoy and annoy your neighbours.

I have a quick question. Am I right in thinking you've got to have progressed as far as possible in GT5P before you can get the cars for these challenges? Earn money to buy them etc? Or have I missed something in the game? If so, I'll need to put in some SERIOUS time to get cash to start buying the cars to take part. confused

It's kind of expected that most people will have far completed GT5 Prologue by now. I did over a year ago, as I used to race online everyday for several hours it helps build the money up without noticing it.

Evo, yes.

Week 1 combo has started, but it will run for 2 weeks, for people who want a little break. But Weeks 2-12 will be the normal 1 week time-scale. Oh and nice rig biggrin

The bump on the fast left - right, is such a lottery. I just that lap managed to hook the car up right by fluke and it gave me 3-tenths.

Lol!

"Hate the game not the player."

It's a tough combo mate. Keep at it, you will improve. If not this combo, definately the next. I saw your name popping up in some of last champs' combo's, but never saw you post. So, hi smile
