[True-blue-8]

top 25? thought it was 14
guys can you help, im not sure if im eligible. you must be 18, but im 17. my birthday is 28 september, so will i be ok to progress if i qualify this year?

 

[R35 SKYLIN3]

Last year I was ineligible and I was 18 on the 27th september (I am 18 now)

 

[True-blue-8]

but academy is later this year so maybe i'll be ok

 

[mistersafeway]

Race camp is normally in July or around that time, no indication it'll be later this year.

 

[True-blue-8]

damn, not this year then

How many people will be waiting on their ps3 at 6.55am on bank holiday Monday then! Think I'll give you a head start until at least 9.00!

I won't be starting until Wednesday, so everyone's got a headstart on me!

 

[David Holliss]

Is it the same start time the world over? ie I couldn't try earlier with a AUS or JPN account?

 

[Lou14]

Once we get to the leaderboard phase, perhaps we can note up on here who of the "qualifying bracket" is ineligible for further parts of the competition so it will be easier to figure who the legible top 25 would be.

Good luck oink love your channel keep up the good work

 

[DBY___86]

I would imagine it will be a start time the same all over the world. 0700 GMT. This is an assumption though.

Haha, I'm sure you will catch up dude!

I I can make the UK top 10,000 I will be over the moon. Also, is there any age restriction for the final parts of the accademy?

 

[David Holliss]

You have to be 18 or over to take part in the latter stages I believe.

For info, in GT Academy 2013, best UK time was 2:16.655, I got 2:24.299, 7.6 seconds slower roughly - this got me to around 5800th place.

 

[Furinkazen]

I'm going to give this more of a shot this year.

 

[True-blue-8]

just achieved world rank #20 in seasonals, cant wait, but this year is a practice as i'm only 17

 

[jimantonic]

Does anyone know if this is live yet? Wife would probably kill me if I left her with the kids to go find out!!

 

[MONSTAR-1]

Live in 1.5 hours

Just gone live at Brands Hatch Indy Circuit in the leaf on comfort hards

SRF is off, Thank Dog

 

[jimantonic]

Nice one Nuts, glad SRF is off this time around, I assume TC, ASM and everything else is off too? (you could change that 'assume' to 'hope' if you wanted!)

Same as the old gt5 TTs by the looks jim, TC and ASM optional

 

[jimantonic]

ASM... Grrr.

Cheers for the info mate.

Are there countrywise leaderboards?

 

[numbnuts70]

Are there countrywise leaderboards?

Worldwide and Friends leaderboards like in the GT6 seasonals.

Actually, the Leaf doesn't handle that bad, nice and adjustable

 

[gm matthew]

I'm off to a good start...

Off to work now, I wonder how low I'll be when I get back.

Edit: It's already been beaten by GTP_DHolland.

[David Holliss]

Well done Matthew, nice time indeed. I'm nowhere near gold time after a few attempts, bit GT rusty.

I can't remember how the 2013 format worked, was it the same as this years or straight in to the final test with a month to set your best time?

[David Holliss]

Thanks, thought I was cracking up, know my memory is terrible.

Matthew (or anyone quick) any chance of posting some split times if you get the chance please.

 

[numbnuts70]

Oh well, I'm bored already

Got my target of a sub 1.04, when's the next stage and car??

They should allow you to progress through the stages once you got a gold.
