New update on the North Americans in the top 250. It's a Google Spreadsheet, which is what I'll use for any similar updates from now on.

Only 29 North Americans in now. I'm surprised I'm still in the top 250 not having run since Tuesday

My time with the Leaf was 1:04.56 since I spent close to two hours on my first try. Which is not bad, but I'm trying to spot some zones where I can push the car more and get to a 1:03. I'll try later though.

Anyone get a late 1:02 yet?

 

[GTPorsche]

If Racer X and the nationals are in Washington DC, I'd come and visit.

With the timing of GT Academy, I'd say it's gonna be at E3 again this year, if they do it.

 

[LoCoArMeN]

Hey Armen,what part of Cali are you in? Im not sure where in Cali they will do it this year.

I live near Los Angeles. I was 15 minutes away from e3 last year.

 

[sk8er913]

I live near Los Angeles. I was 15 minutes away from e3 last year.

I'm 6 hours away so... I probably won't go. I'd probably lose anyway. But I won't hold anything back on the top 28

 

[Racer951]

If anyone's really competitive and serious about advancing in the competition and in the Southern California area I have some 125cc racing karts capable of 80+ mph and would be perfect for getting some cheap seat time, feel free to hit me up.

I might take you up on the offer.

I would drive 6 hrs to be honest. The free e3 tickets that are up for grabs is worth it even if you dont win. They are worth $1000. Lol

Where ever racers x is we're carpooling @LoCoArMeN

Just sent you a pm me and @LoCoArMeN are down! You run them at
fontana speedway?

 

[CarCzar]

He's old enough this year.

I was formerly Ghilliepepper

It depends when the actual physical competition is... I'm 17 until July rolls around, and college starts soon too. It'll be interesting.

 

[Racer951]

fontana speedway?

Yeah I run them there and a few other local tracks that are a little more technical.

 

[gmraces]

Yeah I run them there and a few other local tracks that are a little more technical.

Probably at Perris and Adams raceway.

 

[Racer951]

Probably at Perris and Adams raceway.

Yeah that's them. Both are a lot of fun to drive.

 

[gmraces]

Yeah that's them. Both are a lot of fun to drive.

I usually go to Perris, Havent been to Adams- looks like its too hard on the chassis

 

[sk8er913]

So... Next round stock 350z? You ready to leave the leaf?

 

[Doodle]

I have a feeling it will go: 370Z, GT-R Black Edition, 370Z Tuned Car

 

[RaNze]

This is my first yr playing in GT Academy. How many people from round one make it to round two? How do I know what to shoot for? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Good luck all!

Thanks!

I always forget that its the 370z, they look so similar. and... I'm up to 1226th yay! so... is there an American list? for the top 100? I do not think I am on it, but I think I am about 110thish.

Fresh top North Americans list. Down to 25 now, but there doesn't appear to be a lot of action in general. I'll probably give it another go today or tomorrow and hopefully slip back into the top 50, but I'm not too concerned.

 

[LLOYDZELITE69]

@VindictiveScrub you forgot me.

Everyone can advance as long as you attain the "gold" which should be quite easy for most. The first three rounds are "qualifiers" and the final round is the one where they take the top 26 from the states and the top 6 from Canada. This is "per GT Academy."

Cheers,

Don

 

[VindictiveScrub]

@VindictiveScrub you forgot me.

Fixed. Apologies for the mistake, can't believe I missed that. I should really probably stop doing the list at 2:30 in the morning to avoid stuff like that

[sk8er913]

I want to make a replica of the GT academy 370z could someone help me out? I'm having some issues

 

[mistersafeway]

Z34, I've seen ~400 horsepower mentioned, SH, and a wing.

 

[mike_gt3]

Been able to find time for another session, struggling with t1 but overall pleased with the lap!

1:03.106 for 15th place at the moment.
