Welcome to the Official GT5 Time Attack weekly Challenge!

My name is Matt and i have run these challenges for years now across many forums and people have always liked them for past games.

This is the 8th of 10 Challenges for this Time Attack Series. Next series begins on what would of been week 11 with ALL NEW Points and more challenging events.

This will be run off the Honor System for the most part...since GT5 is harder to track and govern than Forza and some other games.

Each week's time attack will begin on Sunday and end the following Saturday at Midnight. All official lap times MUST be Completed before midnight to be counted.

ALL lap times will require a screenshot, along with any questionable lap times that may ALSO require additional screenshots or proof.

We will be running a points system and the points will be calculated and updated each week. At the end of the "Season" there will be a PRIZE for the winner and maybe 2nd, 3rd place finishers, depending on how many participate.

Weekly Points System: 1st (100 points), 2nd (75 points), 3rd (60 points), 4th (50 points), 5th (45 points), 6th (40 points), 7th (35 points), 8th (30 points), 9th (25 points), 10th (15 points), 11th (5 points), 12th+ (0 Points)

Anyway, on to the fun!

Thanks for participating!

*Edit* Also wanted to add:

Target Time Bonus:
I will be participating each week in the time attack events but my times will not count or acquire points. My times will be the Target Time for each event and for each week if anyone beats or matches the Target Time they will receive a bonus 10 points for that event.

Bonus System:
There will also be weekly bonuses and additional ways to get points. Some weeks there will be challenges within the weekly challenge to score additional points.
There will be more specifics on this each week and will add some spice to each weeks challenge.

Thanks! Enjoy!

wow, it's a longer track (time wise) than I thought taking that much time that I see above. I have yet to even try 1 car in this weeks event :spin:

Did a few laps in my SRT-4 and got a 1:40.XX. and then my wrx and got a 1:35.XX.... Finding a balance of power and handling on these tires is the biggest issue. The cars feel very twitchy and unpredictable with these tires this week.

Lots of the cars just don't turn or have issues with "turn in" when entering a corner. I haven't put more than a hour in this event, been still working on B-Spec :lol:

It was actually my son and he used his 2007 sti hatch :lol:

I tried the Lambo the other night and didn't fair to well either getting 1:39.XX with it. The challenge this week is really wacky with the cars and the times. Things I thought would do well arn't doing so but I can get the same time with a SRT-4 as I can with my Lambo....... just odd.

As fun as it is tearing around on these **** ass comfort tires, I'm going to have a goddamn aneurysm. I've done EVERYTHING I can do and my freaking car will not turn! Who is going to take a 7 8 or 900 hp car and put **** ass comfort tires on it?

Anyways, I'm under 1:31. I'll post a shot tomorrow night, along with a time.

That's crazy. You need to get your kid behind the wheel of a go kart.

Yeah, it's a drift fest. What did you get a 1:31 with? I'm at 1:36.6 with one Lambo and 1:36.9 with the other.

Not a fan at all the way this game makes the cars feel with these tires at all with the higher HP cars.... The most stable cars for feel are the awd cars but they need just a little bit more power or something to be real competitive with some of the RWD cars. I just can't put down any quick numbers with them but are easier to use this week.

Viper SRT10 ACR '08

LOL I added 200kg of ballast to the rear of the car to get it to rotate and that took off about half a second. I think a 1:29:5xx is doable as it sits, but I'd rather shoot myself in the face.
