what is going on here , i just checked out doodlemonoply’s replay , 1st corner ok , 2nd blatant cut , 3rd perfect , 4th over ran heavy but perfect entry , 5th cut , 6th blatant cut , badly , 7th blatant cut again , 8th cut , 9th cut , 10th ok , 11th ok ,
now im no master of gt but i think that these top placed guys should at the very least be giving us a replay to leave us in no doubt that they are the best , as it goes they spawn legions of players who have disregard for honesty , who also employ cheap tactics ,
clean it up guys the world is watching you !
This reminds me of a situation in V8 supercars.
The track had a chicane that could be cut, one person cut it and so they got ahead, then another person cut it, then another, and another. Until all but 3 drivers had cut the chicane (on every lap), those three were at the back of the pack due to everyone else getting quicker laps as a result of the cut.
Those three were the top three drivers, because they were the only ones not to get a penalty at the end of the race.
Would be cool if some kind of similar system happened here, or at least tighten up the invalid lap borders.
What would the rule have been had ALL the drivers cut the chicane? Re-run the race?
*shrugs* I’m not a race official
tighter borders are the answer , even touching the verge should mean a fail , that would make the top drivers replays a joy to watch instead of feeling disgust towards them all
Yeah but using Strong auto steering is ok?
no way im strongly against the use of assists in tt’s apart from abs1 , i even think the motorsport themed 1s should have 0 assists like the real life event would , any other event can have them but not ranking 1s , whats more frustrating is that most cop outs are members of gtplanet , like i said in a previous post , the online community seems to be obsessed with cheaping out for some reason , thought we all played gt cos we like it , if i was pd i’d stop everything like tt’s & dlc till people stop abusing the game ,
At this point I dont think its a big deal, because im still gonna play my way, however if PD had to contstrict players from cutting or fringe hot lapping TTs, they must add cones around those areas of track corner slicing, blatant or technical, can be fully negated.
It would be just like Academy Demo TTs.
Update leaderboards so that any time set with aids falls under all times set without.
with you on the leaderboards Pit Crew , definitely needs to be looked into
^ Dude you petty, how you get that from my comment. I never claimed I was on a TT leaderboard. Grow Up.
‘update leaderboards so that any time set with aids falls under all times set without’ …. ? it must be me seeing things then , its you that has problems boy , dont try to stir up sh!t again cos ive been tryin to get along with you & the other guys ,
^ What does that have to do with your claim I said I was on a leaderboard?
I think you should pay attention to your own OP.
My reply doesnt mention your name till you said that offbase post towards me, so dont direct comments my way I wont towards you.
I could care less if you “trying to get along” with me. Your calling GTPlanet members cop outs but wont start a formal thread in the Main Forum.
The “boy” comment… figures you were of that petty mindset.

I know its 2 weeks early but I advise we get our minds “siked” to the fact the 370Z Tuned TT ASpec is gonna be just as wicked as the GTAcademy TT. Just sayin….
Just for future reference, you probably meant “psyched”!
LOL good catch Stormy, lesson number 1 dont post when sleepy.
lol I’m guilty of the same thing.
Did the race stock with a 0.01.161 gap! Took me only two runs this time! The R34 was very easy to drive at SSR5. Time Trial took me 3 laps, but was actually surprisingly fun this time around. I only got high 8000th, though.
I agree, the R34 GT-R is easy to drive…
For me I did TT on 5th lap and race on 2nd attempt. SS5 isn’t to bad of a track, once you get the rhythm you can rocket around it pretty quick.
That was easy. I played SS5 a lot with Seasonal No. 3. The time trial was much easier than earlier: only 3 laps to reach gold.
I’m enjoying the new cars.
As always a beautiful picture!
Hey everyone, look at how skillful I am. Listen to me bragg about “breezing” through all the time trials on my first attempt. oooooooh aaaaaaw.
Hahaha Nice!!!!!
You forgot to mention how you didn’t have to put any turbos, suspsion upgrades, etc..
lol Exactly.
Are you kidding me? I didn’t have to try! ;)
SKYLINE GT-R (R34) on SS Route 5. Yay.. not.
This is so weird. I would try the event right when it becomes available and lose. Then I dont try the event again til the last day its available and win on my first few tries. It’s happened with the first 4 so I wonder if its the determination to gold it while its still available or what?
Its actually not weird hoboanator, the same thing happened to me in round 8-5 GTA Demo Trial, 2 days before game shutdown.
Guess we like pressure of last minute success or something…lol
Can’t go into any detail at all, but that’s how our brains work.
Well let me take a stab at it. The first time you do it the track is new, so you don’t k ow your way around it. As you try it more and more you are learning it, but your brain tires from focusing on the same thing repeatedly. On the last day you have tried it multiple times and your brain stores the knowledge learned, so by the last day going into it fresh your brain applies the k owledge and you get gold. There is my 50¢ psychology guess, lol.
But thats the thing. I only try it once on the day it comes out and I dont try it again until its last 2 or so hours of availability, and The 370Z challenge I beat on my 2nd try on the last day. But yea its probably the pressure of completing it before it is removed
Theme from “Twilight Zone” Chimes in background.
Oh wait, I know now, it’s because on the last day of GT Academy events, selecting it enters The Matrix. I was doing one a few weeks back and it was all slow motion, even my victory dance.
^ HaHa :)
what is the price card?
Level 10 ticket. very nice street cars there including (if your lucky) The lamborghini miura show car (15,000,000 I think def not cheap)
Funny you should mention the Miura. i just got it. lol
LOL Nice Stormy very Nice
Sadly a lot easier than the previous event :( race only took 3 attempts as I got used to the car, unlike last weeks one that took me like, 5 days or so to finally get it. (Probably just because I’m rubbish at the Tokyo track), TT was cake though.
Good luck everyone!
That is not good news. Although last TT was also a piece of cake (got it on lap 2 in the first try) perhaps partly due to having spend an hour perfecting the car to nail the Tokyo race.
The last TT I got on my warm up lap by accident XD (don’t wanna make it sound like bragging, but I have to point that out to show how easy it was) but the race drove me up the wall, I just couldn’t get it for the longest time, nearly jumped off my seat in happiness when I finally got it XD
This one as I said I had absolutely no trouble doing unfortunately =/ here’s hoping the next round will be more difficult ^_^
I think the next time trial & drift trial events should be for cars that are from the GT500 class of the Super GT & JGTC competition.
There should also be a time trial for the GT300 class of the same category.
Also, I highly request the return of the Expert Level Online B-Spec Challenge, this time permantly staying in the seasonal events menu. Tops of 4,000,000 Cr. at the 600PP GT500 Spa-Francorchamps race, & 6,000,000 Cr. at the 700PP Le Mans race.
^ Uhhhh…. The next car will be the GTR Black Editions challenge as this is a GTAcademy Seasonal thread.
You gotta remember that from december 29 of last year through to january 31 of this year, is when they had the Expert Level Online B-Spec Challenge, testing the mettle of even the toughest of your crew drivers. For me, I managed to get 1st place at all 2 races, towards the business end of the event duration. It was not easy, but secretly, the Chaparral 2J Race Car ’70 is said to be the best car to use in the 700PP race at the Le Mans circuit, because it’s a fan car; benefiting more on constant acceleration in wet conditions. For the 600PP GT500 race, the Honda cars usually dominate the race.
^ Dude in case you hadn’t noticed 1, this a GTAcademy thread.Why you are posting about seasonal ASpec Ideas here is beyond me.
2. 99 percent of GTP posters have been playing GT5 for more then a year, which means all the things input into this GT5 title have been scrutinized, observed, practiced , cherished and villafied for more then 2yrs.
3. I as do many of my GTP brethren played and were successful at obtaining every (8) 2012 GTAcademy TT prize car and suit. Heck some of us have 10 and 11 Academy cars. (10 myself when we get all 2012) so have some respect for others accomplishment and stop assuming we are NoObs.
4. You need to go and look at the main forum sight where threads are started tips are given and posts are strictly moderated. Then maybe you will see that the world of GranTurismo Planet does not revolve around SonicConqueror, and you may actually learn something about this diverse, free thinking, experienced, opinionated, but COOLER than the Ice Falls of MtEverest global fan base you have freely chosen to target for unprovoked, offbase bullying…or get Banned in the process.
Your just recycling old information. No one needs a review of the content.
Pit Crew, listen closely. I did not say anything about A-Spec. It’s about B-Spec, you imbecille. This is not a thread; it’s a blog.
No-one questions my duties in the world of GT. No-one questions my way of doing things. We’re not revolvers; we’re not recycling old info, or anything like that. It’s about being one with the world, for gods’ sake!
And Pit Crew, if you ever say anything else negative about my opinion, watch out!
I insist that no-one else complains any further. End of story.
Wow, that’s a bit ridiculous of a request, seeing that everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Regarding the b-spec, it’s ok, as long as PD make an a-spec variation of the same event. I chose not to do those events as I thought it was BS that there was not an a-spec variation; to me it is boring as f**k watching an idiot drive one of my hard earned cars for half an hour when I could drive it myself.
If you like doing that, good for you….I am sorry, but on the real driving simulator I am not sitting and watching a damn thing.
^ Its a thread you NoOB and whether its ASpec Ideas or BSpec, This thread strictly states it covers GTAcademy TT and ASpec seasonal race event.
In case you cant remember your own posts in other threads here in the GTP news slot, others are Questioning your opinions and abilitys here.
You dont even have a PCS (Post Contribution Score) which is acquired by posting in the numerous threads throughout the website including the newest GT6 thread chocked full of Ideas started and maintained by some of GTP best, (A number of members have been posting here since 2003,) And there words are based on facts that can be Researched, not obnoxious, headstrong, look at me, opinions.
You actually tried to pull another poster over to yourside, calling him out by name to not agree with people who dont agree with you. Thats close to an AUP violation, and if you ever say something here in the news thread and the text has a yellow color, you should chill on how you respond and take that advice they posted as fact or law. Bullying will be met with a reply whether you like it or not so you best get used to it if you insist on being a malcontent.
@Progress not talking bout you bro. ^ was meant for that Sonic dude.
O…kay….? why are all of you saying this on my post…?
BLOG, not thread.
@UrieHusky I apologize bro, got caught up putting a news thread bully/NoOb in his place. No disrespect intended bro. He made an off topic reply to your OP, and I just saw red.
It’s okay, was just confused as to why my conversation about the events difficulty turned into a debate about something entirely unrelated lol
Cant wait to do it in the morning! If that’s car I see getting rewarded I will probably get a Fiat 500…. just my luck, we’ll find out tomorrow, lol
^ level 10 ticket and a special paint for golding the TT
Lvl 10 is one of my favorite tickets to flip because it begins to break up the monotony of skylines and mitsubishi cars.
wooohoooo,silver chrome paint!!!
Now you have the task of deciding which car is worthy of the silver chrome paint O_O lol, I have 2 and haven’t used 1 because they are rare and I don’t want to waste em’ :)
Bro’s If you need paints and and no miles cars I gift. leave me some requests in my GTP profile and send PSN acct LenBiasFan a friends. he has 50/50 silver gold chromes and most mattes ( have to chk but i prob got on main acct).
I used my silver chrome paint chip on my premium NSX Type R. Looks amazing
i only have the V spec II Nur (GT Academy) ’02
That’s the car you should use
Nice, already golded the TT, it was really hard!
Not soooo bad! Had to tweak anti-roll bars and gear ratios! Got a nice premium XKR :P
Got a audi r8 4.2.yessss
I hope that sometime soon, Australia will be included in next years’ GT Academy. When that happens, all of us Aussies will earn those special cars, even the ones from this years’ GT Academy.
yeh sonic,i think the TOSS might’ve rose to the top for the occasion….feed up on clams…mmm
They’re not that special.. just one or two cosmetic changes…… Not missing much lol
While not being able to compete for the GTA prize you could still have downloaded GTA and had some fun + gotten the cars.
The people of Gran Turismo & GT Academy really need to pull their fingers out of their bottoms; they must think of us Aussies.
Adding to the previous comment; if Australia was to be involved from next years’ GT Academy, we Aussies would get the chance of earning the special cars that were only ever available to the 22 participating countries. Here is a few examples:
Nissan Leaf G (GT Academy) ’11
Nissan Silvia Spec-R Aero (GT Academy) ’02
Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (GT Academy) ’94
Nissan 370Z (GT Academy) ’08
Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Nur (GT Academy) ’02
Nissan GT-R Black edition (GT Academy) ’12
Nissan GT-R Black edition Tuned Car (GT Academy) ’12
Nissan 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy) ’08
Ugh, they are getting harder and harder. I dont’ mind, a little challenge once in a while is good :P
