[GumballCGT]

I HATE THIS COMBO!!! Seriously though, played for two hours last night and only managed a 27.2. Couldn't seem to repeat that one. Comes down to the first section before Mulsanne it seems like. I just want a top 20 spot to prove to myself I've still got it haha.

Nah, you're fine...I like being the fastest in Oregon at the moment

 

[TRL_Importlife]

@GumballCGT you only have 2hrs logged half of the people in top 20 have over 30hrs logged I bet

I want some judication on a matter. Somebody said on another forum that if you Gold all four rounds you get the GT Academy variants of the Four Nissan cars, is this true or not?

 

[sk8er913]

@Encvel Thank you for improving your time by 5 hundredths, it was seriously bothering me that you were only beating by 2 thousandths. Was like "Where did I lose 3 thousandths of a second, where to gain."

@dgaf95integra I haven't been this high before. It's amazing how back and forth it is. It's like we're in a Call of Duty Free-for-all,and the winner gets real money. XD

 

[TRL_Importlife]

The cut off now is currently 25th

 

[maxking39]

How do you confirm?

Is it through email or something because I haven't received anything

 

[John 3 16]

I see in the Terms & Conditions that a passport is required for those making National Finals- does that mean in order to be eligible for Nashville, a passport is required? I know one would be needed for those advancing past Nationals, but is one needed to get to Nationals?

Sounds like it for the US - guessing there might not be enough time between Nashville completion and Silverstone Race Camp start for someone to apply and get a passport for travel to the UK and they want to ensure whomever they select can attend. I think last year one person declined to move forward and Nissan probably does not want to repeat that scenario - if a spot at Nationals is taken by someone who doesn't/can't move forward if selected, it means a spot was taken from someone who wanted to move forward.

Thanks! That makes sense. I understood that this year the Race Camp is at Yas Marina instead of Silverstone though. At least that was my understanding.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

How do you confirm?

By posting on here you are now confirmed thanks

 

[maxking39]

By posting on here you are now confirmed thanks

Ok cool, never thought I'd make it this far

 

[Danimal780]

I really could use those 5 days I missed while on vacation during this round. I know it's a long shot, but currently only ranked 186 and still pushing.

Edit: 133rd. Now if the rest of the country could stop playing for the remainder of this round I would greatly appreciate it.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

The cut off now goes to 23rd
With a cut off time 3:26.653

I will be making a top 20 list soon

 

[LoCoArMeN]

At 5'10" 190 something pounds I'm nearly obese according to BMI. Riiiiggghhhtttt.

HAHA!

BMI does not take into account HOW yeti you are.

Aw c'mon man, its not that bad. Its takes some time to get used to the FWD, then its actually fun.

I moved from 12th to 20th today, you've got a lot of work ahead of you. lol

Section 1 is terrible, sometimes I get to Tetre Rouge and get a split like +0.642. Then I'm like, what did I do wrong? I know I was a little wide but seriously? I lost 6 tenths?

Also, feels good to be ahead of you for once, you beat me in Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3.

 

[GTPorsche]

Keep putting myself into the top 50 with this combo, but I know I do not have the talent to gain the time to get closer to the top 20. I either mess up the beginning of the lap, or I'm up by a few tenths and lose it at the end of the lap.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

The cut off currently goes to 22nd
With a time of 3:26.492

 

[BROHAM]

Hit a wall. Frustrated. Hope i can grab a few more seconds.

20 - maddog28 will you attend nationals ?

 

[sk8er913]

@dgaf95integra 18th isn't very comforting... but nobody passed me today. I thought I would be in 30th tonight with the way things were going the past 2 days. USA 20th increased from World 206th to world 156th or so.

We are the 2nd fastest country comfortably, by comparison of our 20th fastest.

 

[Danimal780]

I feel your pain. I'm debating on taking a day off. What do you guys usually do when you plateau?
Also for those in the top 20. Are you using a gaming monitor with low input lag or TVs? I'm wondering what size/model monitor YAM is using with his rig.

Having a gaming monitor having the best wheel on the market none of those will make you faster!

I have 47" flat screen and gaming monitor and I also have g27 and t500 and I posted my p2 time on my g27 / big TV

A basic 27 inch Sony flat screen, a desk that (mostly) holds my Pro in a stable position and an office chair with a broken wheel. The chair tends to move along with the pedal box which is a minor annoyance but I work around it.

 

[Danimal780]

Thanks for the sanity check. Looks like I just need a few more years under my belt to be competitive. I know I got at least one more 1s left before this is over if I would just stop messing up porsche curves and/or Ford chicane.
