Well, I missed out on the 2011 academy. How did it compare to the seasonal events that they run all the time? I know the prizes where different, but were the events any different other than cars and tracks? If you entered it originally, can you still play those events, or are they closed to everyone?

Those are long closed and gone.
Basically it was same track, same car for everyone for each round. Open for a certain amount of time. When each round ended, a certain number of people moved on to the next round and a different track/car combo was posted for them to do it again.
This year is quite different it seems.

It is long closed. It was really nothing like the current seasonals. The first round consisted of 3 different car/track combos and you had to log laps on all three to be ranked on the overall leader boards. One was a tuned GTR on Cape Ring Full, a street car 350z? on Tsukuba, and another street car 370Z? on Rome Reverse. They provided the car so it couldn't be tuned, most aids were forced off, including driving line. Other than that is was just turn the fastest laps you could, with your best on each being added together for your overall time and placement. Rankings were done by region and all regions together, with region be what mattered when it came to advancing.

There's been 3 or 4 in Europe (if someone knows more about 2009, I don't...) and 1 in the USA.

Every region had their own package to download, they were supposed to be the same.
And yes, you did get it from PSN.
You could play different region demo if you had a different region account (JP / US / etc.), but as far as I remember the times went to a different leaderboard. So you could only do valid times in your own region.
edit,
sorry, I'm thinking now the 2010 demo. Didn't remember there was a academy last year too So nevermind.
