Finally completed my racing setup last nite. Bought GT wheel on Friday & Wheel Stand Pro from Jonat79. I shed my time down to 1.39.009

Now this is the real driving simulator.

how much is the wheel stand pro?

I bought it used at RM450. New one should cost USD 164. Have to import from Poland.

bummer lol. Not fair at all. AFAIK EU top 20 got to go to the 2nd round of GT academy, US a trip to Indianapolis track, JP GT5 copies?

btw Thrust, which account are you playing on? I can't find your name on the leaderboard. Only saw aaron there
*
I log in using SG PSN Account. Hhmm... The top guy only managed 1.36.488 which is a far cry from those 1.35.xxx timing.

how come ar??

Which A/C should I use? I got MY, JPN, UK, and US tongue.gif

lol I think i know why. I'm guessing you downloaded the demo using japan psn, but play using sg acc. You're what they'd call NTSC outsiders i think.

The leaderboard i'm seeing is here http://gtdb.net/?tt/80:total

Wow, you got it right!!! That's what I did rclxms.gif

btw, I did not try to put a hot lap for Normal 370Z just yet.

I can't reduce my lap time at 1.38.5xx already. It's so difficult..... cry.gif

Bro Zerizero, your lap time is very good. How did you managed to go so fast?? 15th fastest in ASIA is really an achievement.

BTW, how can I view my time trial on the internet since I am considered NTSC outsiders cry.gif

Can you go faster? tongue.gif

proton cars would be great if they included in the game. at least starting/cheap cars to buy when we start the game.at least we can be proud of it.
*
Please don't spoil GT5 by including a junky, crony, subquality car brand into the franchise... I would rather they include Perodua than a Proton.

It's not that I hate PROTON or whatsoever. If you think deeply about it, they have given us rubbish cars for the past 20 years. If without PROTON, you & I could be well driving a HONDA or a TOYOTA at an affordable price. Now tell me, which do you prefer??? tongue.gif

PROTON's main objectives was to generate low paying jobs for Malaysians & pocket loads of cash for their cronies...

not wanting to be off topic - i will not respond. I like to quote Rajagobal coach of Malaysian team after winning the gold medal " Kita menang pun kena kutuk, Kita kalah pun kena kutuk " LOL

No SOS... but as a Malaysian, you should be well aware of it already wink.gif

Ok, back to topic... I can't locate my time trial anywhere on www.granturismo.com. Most likely I am like what Zerigemok said, NTSC outsiders sad.gif I guess I will have to redownload the Demo from MY PSN & put in a hotlap using my MY ID.

Why do they want to delay the title for so long? After the time trial competition, I won't have any racing titles to play with my wheel as I've sold off my GT5P already sad.gif

no wonder the trees in the time trial look like it's from 1999! the trees look really low res. I'm glad I switched to MY PSN. I get to see my own country in the flag!

Currently ranked at 337X something, with 1 minute 59.43 seconds. If GRiD was yummy junk food, this game is like caviar, very fine dining food but not everybody can eat. Throttle control and steering control demands a lot of skill from the player. I'm slowly liking this game more and more. Used to not be able to get into this game since I'm more of an arcade racer. This game is nothing but TECHNICAL.

This game is afterall, the real driving simulator. You can't get closer than this on video games smile.gif
