Yeah, I had a running list last year you can check out here. Thanks for being willing to update the OP, it'll be really useful for every one, the more info the better.

No problem @Wardez and thanks for the link. 👍

Is there an age limit on the competition, like if you make it?

Yes, you have to be 18.

In case anyone is wondering, the track in the background of the GTAcademy graphic has been identified conclusively as Nurburgring

Nice to know, now I can sleep at night.

 

[srmellott]

If Nurburing is a first round track- I'm out. My worst track by far. I'm hoping for a city track like Tokyo or maybe A road course like Laguna Seca.

 

[z06fun]

Im going to guess that only the final round will matter as far as qualifying for the finals. Thats how it has been in the past 2 years (2011 was a little different).

 

[Conor Swan]

Thanks... @GTP_CargoRatt

Four more years to go (I've got other goals) ... I can still participate right? Just can't actually drive win.

It says 3:00 for me, what time zone are you in ?

I thought it was 3:00 am GMT?

i think it's your local time.
My PS3 is (erroneously) set to central time and it shows 2am.

 

[Gr8888T]

Mine says 3 even if I change the time on my ps3, I guess if it's gmt I'll find out in 30 minutes.

Oh. Well I haven't been on the PS3 for over a week so I wouldn't know.

driver excuses start early!

 

[Gr8888T]

I just realized it won't even be the 21st in 30 minutes, so I'm guessing its 3am tomorrow morning

2014 Mexico General Discussion

[Gr8888T]

Awesome thanks

 

[BionicDerp]

21st for me now. 3h 50mins and counting... 4AM local, and I think I'll stay up for it.

 

[VindictiveScrub]

Just a reminder to everyone that the the competition for the last 2 years has had preliminary rounds that were nothing more than time trials for bragging rights. Yes, the first year was a knockout competition, but I personally doubt that's returning. So, until we know for certain anyways, don't get too excited or stressed just yet; there's likely still a long way to go until the serious stuff begins.

...But its very exciting to have "new" content on GT6

And it's just under two hours away.

 

[Falango]

The menu in game does show 4 rounds, each starting 2 weeks after the previous one. Wouldn't doubt if VindictiveScrub is right. Since we see the Leaf in the bg image, and in the images attached on the GTA article on the GT site, I'd expect some Leaf action in at least the first event, which leads me to believe it's not a serious one.

So what's round one? I had to leave for work 15at minutes before it opened up.

just a preliminary practice round. All you have to do to advance is get a trophy (2012/2013)
