Yeah, I much preferred the knock-out multi-track format last year. Just grinding it out for the magic lap isn't fun for me at all.

Not only that, people could be driving for eachother to get them to the finals. There is no way to tell if someone really put in the work themselves. I had a friend ask me to make a screen name for him and put in times for him, I told him im not quick enough anymore to even get myself in, but it made me think that if someone has 3 friends or teammates they want to make the trip to the finals with them who is to stop them from driving on their ps3 or psn name? lol

Yeah it was definitely a properly difficult combination. I don't think I ever got the first sector right. And I really liked the addition of the cones so we didn't end up with the Lawn and Garden academy again. But one track for two weeks is just brutal. (of course I didn't even start 8-5 til Sunday
)

My advice to anyone who was struggling this year is to finish your laps! Towards the end I actually was nailing the first sections pretty solid probably within a few tenths of the fast laps, but not once could I finish a lap properly because I spent all my time in the first 2/3 of the track trying to get it down that when I did hit it right I wasn't prepared to his the last few turns proper. I butchered so really nice laps that would have been mid to high 31s because I was restarting too much instead of finishing my laps and getting the last few corners down.

This will probably be my last year for GT Academy. I'm 36 yrs old with a 2 yr old son. Going to spend more time with my son, less with GT5. I'm a little burned out after your last 2 weeks!

It took a few days to get the email last year so don't freak out if you don't get something immediately.
Congrats on moving on!!

Trust me, come next year, when you get that itch, you will have to scratch it.

I think the difference from the fastest qualifier to the slowest qualifier was .750. However, the total time was just under 4 minutes with both tracks combined times.
