2014 Middle East Discussion

[mjdmzn]

I didn't make it to the top 6

if they have professional experience and very recent then maybe you can protest

How can I?


oh and congrats to @AzraQ for making it to the top 6

 

[sems4arsenal]

It was great.

but a lot of cheating and cutting corners was involved, and two of the top 6 are currently in a drifting team and have been for the past two years.

They are allowed less than two seasons if I recall, I think you mean the Egyptian guy, if so then we only get one drift event per year so no worries.

No, not him.

 

[sems4arsenal]

No, not him.

Then you should complain via email/

i don't know but you came in contact with the organizers, try communicate with one of them to clarify these points according to gran-turismo.com :

"
h)not have an existing competition driving contract with any motor sports team, body, agent or management company that conflicts with his/her ability to accept the Race Camp Prize;

(i)not previously held a National A or superior MSA license or equivalent in another Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) recognised National Sporting Authority (ASN) or Recognised Motorsport Body;

(j)not have competed in any form of 4 wheeled motorsport at a national championship level for more than two full seasons (the Promoter reserves the right to judge what classes as national level motorsport); "

remember, to be a drifter in a professional team is really an edge and if i were you i would question it.

yes @Harb84 you can protest easily. I think the people in question are my two fellow Lebanese contestants, well yes you are right they do have some drifting experience but they are right now doing their first ever official drift season.

I'm a pure GT player never seen a race car before nor a real race circuit, and never had the freedom to put a car to it's extreme paces nor on public roads nor in an empty place, i fit the regulations perfectly.

I met nice people there from all regional countries and each one of them was an extraordinary character.

Nah, he happened to have "Eqama" (I think he lives in Dubai) so he went. Good luck at Silverstone.

Congrats to those who made the top 6 and are heading to Silverstone!

What did you guys do at the national (regional) final?

Any more specific details as to the gaming and fitness tests?

 

[mjdmzn]

It was four challenges: Gaming, fitness, driving challenge and media challenge.

ِAbout the gaming challenge, we did 5 rounds of gaming on 5 different tracks in 5 different Nissans, Mainly the 370Z and the GT-R.

The fitness challenge was about three things: Running, Push-ups and Planking.


@Tidgney have made a video about it (about a year ago), you can check his channel for more info.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Driven? Dado aside.

Me neither, good thing that they placed the GT Academy report in the first five minutes

 

[ToyGTone]

Not really news but the GT Academy International (middle east version) is going to be aired on 2 November 2014 on the channel which aired the GT Academy middle east last year (mbc Action).

How much time did the 2013 GT Academy middle east took between being aired on a channel and being recorded?

 

[sems4arsenal]

Just about had it with them after how poorly they treated us. They need to reconsider some stuff for next year that is for sure.

Oh and wonder where is @Shlagem ?
