In other quick news, I’ll tell you a little bit about Mexico Gt Academy national finals.
In Mexico finals, there are 28 finalist, the first test is the gaming, only the fastest 18 GT6 drivers get to do the real car driving, fitness and media test.
The gaming side, I felt it was quite easy, thanks to everyone here on SNAIL, I improved TONS, from last year GTA finals. Last year I didn’t even manage to get to the driving test or fitness test. But last year as “Losers” price, Nissan let us drive a GTR on the track. That was really cool. This year I finished second fastest overall.
I had some bad luck on the real driving test. The test was 3 laps, 1 practice lap, 2 timed laps, fastest lap counts; it was in a stock, automatic with flappy paddles 370z. I was the second guy to do the test. The thing was that the car they were using to test the track, was the same car they gave me to do the test, once I got going for my first practice lap, right from the start something was wrong with the car, it just didn't accelerate they way it's supposed to or respond at all, the car was just going low revs, I imagine the gearbox overheated, I don't know... The thing I do know was that Gt Academy winner Ricardo Sanchez was using that car... anyway... I told the judges and they changed the car, so I couldn't do a proper practice lap and feel the car, I wanted another practice lap but judges denied it, "you can't do 4 laps" they said, I was so angry at this point, so second lap, the car was fine, drove it hard to get to know the track, last lap, gave it all but even so, the lap felt slow. I feel this test was the one that kept me away from top 6.
Lastly in the fitness tests, there were at least 10 dudes with really good body strength, the only test I beat everyone was the beep test, manage to get to level 11. In the other tests, push ups, plank and jumping, other dudes were stronger.
And that was it, it is really cool to meet everyone on the leaderboards and joke around. Nissan took us to Cancun for two days, being on the beach for a bit was fun, I got to see some BIG sea turtles making their egg nest on the beach. Of course, I watched from a distance, don't disturb the turtles
I finished 7th overall, I’ll definitely try again next year.
Cheers!
