GT Academy 2012 (NA) General Discussion

[RackAttack]

Why am I not on the list???

The list on the GTA website is about 12 hours out of date.

This list is up to date:

Edit: Well, up to date within an hour probably, I think he only updates once an hour.

Looking at the top US times there is definitely more time to be gained.

I ran a 33.0xx about 13 hours ago...

EDIT. I see my time on this list now. WOW! Dropped from 147th (13 hours ago) in the world to 635th.

...and I don't count, so you're in!

So what is the official rule? You are out if you made it to the finals (Silverstone) or semi finals (Florida)?

Silverstone 16 (well 15, Bryan is already covered ) are not eligible this year.

1:32.308 fastest in America with a controller!

I have a hunch that Let_Canada_In doesn't count either ;-)

 

[Sam48]

...and I don't count, so you're in!

That makes me wonder... Since the official leader board does not exclude those who didn't sign up, could I actually be in the top 32? As of now, I'm in 49th with a 1:32.9.

I'd say a majority of the current leader board has probably signed up.

 

[Sam48]

I'd say a majority of the current leader board has probably signed up.

Yeah, I would image about 90-95% of them.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I dropped to 38th anyway.

Will give it another shot this weekend, then again the day it ends and that's it. No reason to waste too much time on it.

If anything, it'll just be fun to get some time on the new track. 👍

 

[JerseyDriverSS]

Down to a 1.31.7. Puts me 5th or 6th depending on let Canada in. I wouldn't be suprised if 30.9s happened by the end of the 2 weeks and a mid 31 was the bubble spot.

He doesn't count anyway, so take that into consideration.

1min 30.9xx??? Wow that would be amazing! Im still in High 1.32s. It feels already impossible to improve

edit: i know its North America thread, but I lurk around...

 

[Dhalism]

looks like the regional rankings are back

I wont do a 30.9 but someone out there probably will. Its already down to a .2 in less than 24 hours.

 

[Doodle]

I probably already hit my max with the controller. I will try the wheel another time.

 

[iMikeTheKing]

Some of you guys make me feel really slow. I got 1:34.6xx and that's slow for some of you guys.

I'm glad I know that I'm in the top 500 for now. WIll try to improve my later this week.

 

[chriz00]

I finally hit the 1:32's albeit, a slow 1:32 lol

I hope I can get into the 1:31's but that is going to take some huge amount of concentration, it's doable though.

BTW, what do you guy's make of the individuals using "Active Steering" to get their top times???

I mean, it is fair at this point of the competition...I wonder how they will do if they make it to the finals.

Huh. Didn't even notice anyone was using it. What does it actually do?

 

[GTPdieguezzz]

In my opinion You can control your countersteering better, and steering imput feels more like GT4 physics. especially if u have force feedback set at 3 or 4.

 

[Jahgee]

I just beast moded 8-1, first try turned off all aids (Usually have TC at 5) except ABS and decided to drift around the turn, got 15.299 exactly

Also, 80's music helps you drive

 

[Dmarc_Atl]

Got 1:34'xx with a controller.8-5
Im at 294. I doubt I can get any faster, I was pulling my hair out trying to beat 1:36.That damn S curve after the bridge kept messing me up .. come to think of it I couldnt really do that turn in gt4 either.And with that tuned 370z those back tires spin so much it made it that much harder.
Cant wait to get this track in GT5 and it looks like its the whole track !

 

[JDMKING13]

1:33.1 for me so far I will defiantly hit the 32's by tonight. I love this competition!

 

[Jahgee]

I'm having trouble golding 8-3 & 8-4, I run TC on 5, Mild Active Steering & ABS 1, any suggestions?

Lol, I second the 80's music. Metallice, "Give me fuel, Give me fire, Give me that which I desire....

^^pretty much that.

I turned it on to see what it would do to my time's, it does indeed help lol

I feel guilty using it though.

Turn off TC altogether. 8-4 Do not exceed 190km/h over the Eau Rouge turn. Overtake as many cars as you can at Les Combes(after the long straight).
