GT Academy 2012 (NA) General Discussion

1900 GMT is not 7pm EST.

1900 GMT is 7pm GMT and that makes it 2pm EST.

If you look at the GT page it says Next round in 7 hours 8 minutes which is 6 pm CT (For me anyways)

Good, a fresh batch of round's.

It has been getting a tad repetitive lately lol

 

[gt5fanatec]

I got 6 hours 33 minutes left for me. But GTPorsche said it was open at 2:00 for me.

 

[Skinny DG]

Hasn't it seemed like too much time to wait between rounds?

 

[Lidyana]

only round 3 or round 3 AND 4?

 

[C_Raccoon23]

only round 3 or round 3 AND 4?

Round 3 and 4 will be unlocked at the same time.

 

[CodeRedR51]

3 and 4.

 

[Skinny DG]

wooooot!

 

[SnakeEyes427]

Keep in mind you are looking at a list of all the countries mixed together. You need only worry about where you stand within players from the USA.

Yes. Even at that I am deeper then the 5000's in the first two rounds. But, it is what it is.

Unlocks in 2:55 for me on the West Coast.

Unlocks at the same time for everyone. Just not the same time on the clock.

It does seem like unlocking on fridays would be better...

 

[Lidyana]

Round 3 and 4 will be unlocked at the same time.

:tup:I hope they're all long enough and not just short sections

 

[AnTiheLT]

So like in about 3 hours & 30 min ?

2 Hours and change

 

[TJ13]

[gt5fanatec]

good for you! But not for long.

 

[MichoRexo]

I'm feeling good. Coming out of the CRX and into GT5 with my DFGT I got in around the top 10000. Tonight I'll push even farther...

 

[t.o.]

I figure I'd check this out, see if any changes were made in the physics or anything. Can't really tell because I'm using controller but the golds in these events are super easy to get. Are people actually finding it hard to get gold in this thing?
I'm rolling with all assists off and ABS set to 0, at least on the ones I remembered to set all that stuff.

 

[HaylRayzor]

I jumped in the second it opened. I was top 5 in all events. For about a millisecond.

I was about the same, but I can say that I was first for a millisecond now in the 50+

 

[GTPorsche]

No, I was just correcting the time mistake since two time zones 5 hours apart can't be on the exact same hour of the clock.

 

[mercgoat]

This seems to be a new version of green hell in these tests. Was not sure before but now I am.

 

[Machate-man]

I see the "lens flare" effect is back: 3-3 - La Sarthe at night.

I got 2nd place in round 4-2 that's my 15 minutes of fame.

 

[HuskyGT]

YES! I'm within the first 600 in these two rounds. I even ended up in 42nd place at the Nurburgring in the "maintaining stability" test. Not a big deal, since I consider myself below average, plus I use DS3. Also I'm just doing these three times each the most.

Oh well, I guess that by now I should be back down to around 5000th place...

Another thing. That R32 looks amazing in Blue. Is that Bayside Blue from the R34?

I always use a controller. in fact the last time I ever touched a wheel was three years ago. it was a Mad Cat 2 on GT4.

No...it's some sort of solid blue; the Bayside Blue from the R34 is more metallic than that. I agree that it looks nice, though:tup:

 

[yzfmike]

Well my new record is ranked 274th at 4-5 at Monza. This was at 9PM EST on the dot btw. I have never ever ranked that high in anything online. DS3 user as well.
