I put the global top 3 guys synced in one video like I do with every WRS Week.
Gives a good opportunity to compare their lines, shiftpoints, etc. Drivingstyle basically.

 
Hi guys, I wasn't able to register before 24th, but I managed to register yesterday as the registration reopened, but in the Italian leaderboard my position is marked yellow and all the others are marked red. I think this is not a good sign. Does anyone know what I should do? Shall I just wait if it is just a bug of the site gran-turismo.com?
Please help..
 
Ok, but i'm worried because I heard that many guys received a phone call at 26th to 28th June, but I didn't.. I am worried that they called nr.17 and told him he is qualified for the finals..

Right well got back from goodwood, bought a new playstation and now time for some fun races I guess :)! Any EU races happening?
 
I was watching the competition on the livestream, hard luck.

True, was a tad annoying though if I'm honest, they changed the tracks, cars and general rules all at the last minute, and I had brief practice so ye was sort of annoying really :P (Especially as you can't hear a thing, maybe need to practice with no volume at all :P!). Was still a nice experience never been to goodwood :P! Plus got to enquire on the car im interested in :), the RCZ (Unless I win the academy of course haha :D).
 
I just got mine e-mail. Its a two day event at Zolder not Spa :P. Basicly the same idea as last year..

Also got a call, but I have bad reception so I didn't catch that :lol:.

Aaaand I can't make the national finals. Nor the finals in August if I could have made the nationals and was to get through. :ouch:👎


Good luck everyone.
 
Just wondering if anyone that finished just outside the top 16 in the UK has got an email/phone call yet, I still haven't heard anything so starting to get concerned.
 
When I was trying to rearrange my life around the GT Academy dates :lol: the lady on the other side of the phone said the latest that they need an answer from me whether I can make it or not was "really, Wednesday", which might give some indication as to when they will be contacting the drivers below the top 16.

Gutted I can't make it, just wasn't meant to be with everything clashing. Next year will be a good year. :)
 
Really sorry to hear that Adam. But I'm really glad you're positive about next year. Sometimes it's for the best, you just never know. Keep your head up, we all know you can make it in through the first stage whenever you want so you're one of the few that can actually say, " Yeah I'll just do it next year" xD
 
I got my call back today.
I finished 7th in the ranking, but a friend finische 9th, but he got called anyway, probably to have spares or someone can't participate in our finals.

Anyway if you're in the selectable top of your country i shouldn't worry. The dutch finalists got their phonecalls last week. And if i'm correct 3 of the top 8 in the Netherlands can not participate so... there's always al tiny chance you got called even if you just missed the top 8 or 16 or whatever :)
 
Hi guys, I'm wondering why we don't get any infos about the national finals. I know last year there were plenty of infos of the national finals, like the car/track combinations, or that there would be phisical tests but this year we haven't heard anything. I would like to know if there are still time trials in the national finals or just 1 vs. 1. I think last year we had to do time trials because the PSN was down.
 
Looks like the french one has just happened or is happening? Noticed Jordan Tagged in a picture :P.

They don't reveal information, it only got spread around because a few finalists mentioned what they used. But they wouldn't really want it passed around otherwise you'd just do a million and 1 laps around each combination :P.
