GT5 ARCADE TIME TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIP
All car and track combo's will run from midnight friday to the same time the following week
Everyone will have a say towards the next car and track, it work's with the current TT so i don't see why it shoudn't work here.
Points will be awarded F1 Style 10 for the win then 8,6,5,4,3,2,1
Please register your interest, this will be a 10 week championship, starting this friday.

Stew has made a fair and valid point.
As another possible solution, perhaps the steering wheel users can use different tyres to the pad users. But we may have to trial this out for a week, and see how well it works or not.
e.g.
Pad users on S2 tyres
Steering wheel users on N2 tyres
The only other fair way is to have 2 championships, pad and steering wheel.

i like this idea-
wheel users use the dihatsu copen.
pad users can use any car they like.
sounds fair to me.
we have a clear grasp that wheel users are capable of faster times when using lesser tyres(N's) simply because they have a greater degree of control. i'd love a wheel myself, but at the sheer cost of it considering i have other things like food/water/bills to pay...i can't justify getting one.

We can trial it for a while but I'm quite confident there will be too much of an unfair advantage to the wheel users. eg on the likes of the current TT challenge, I'm in 13th place, 1.56.3xx, darkdice is on 1.553xx iirc, so I'm only a second away using the pad, N2 tyres for these guys would most likely cost something like 2-3 seconds per lap on Fuji with apex speeds being down quite a bit.
What about handicapping it but using the same class, ie pad people on S2, wheel people S1? Pitty we don't have the ballast option to try and even it out.

I'm happy for it to stay the same, just makes you try harder looking at Darkdice's time.
My problem with the wheel is this: You need to be using it all the time to actually see the benefit of it, no good bringing it out once in a while to try to achieve a better time, you need to have your eye in so to speak. I tried it last night and was hopeless, switched to the pad and took near a second off my time. Plus replaying the lap I knew I could take circa another second off, just takes more attempts with the pad.
