I'm in Southeast... Shouldn't be too hard for top 128. I already made a couple of laps and managed a (then) 75th. I'm going to wait until everyone else starts playing and till it slows down a little before I start up again. That and I'm sick right now with a sinus infection. -_-
 
yea just checked back and im in the high 100s now 180ish. But for first try im not to concerned ill either get it or I wont. I'm swamped with finals so i cant do it now, but im so excited to be competing in this simply because it allows a pure test of driving skill for all of us.

the same cars
the same tracks

my only hold up being i dont have the green for a wheel and the top contenders all seem to have wheels.
 
Man have been playing for about 5 hours and cant get passed 160th and jsut dropped to 220th eh

Do we have to complete all 3 tracks or 1 best of all 3?

All of your times are added and then you're ranked based on your combined times.
 
It is pretty tough, last I checked I was in the top 100 for 2 of the 3 events ...urrr, wanna get quicker!!

Patience is key.

BTW; I bought the same cars (well, at least the 370z and the Skyline) from the dealership and equipped them with the comfort/soft tires and did Tsukuba/Rome with the racing line "on" so that I can better learn the track's and the break/turn in points.

Hope that helps some of you.
 
I had put in about 3 hours on the ds3 with a 23rd place for west now and 112th overall. I'm exhausted and will let bobs do their thing, I'm sure I'll be bump down within 10 minutes. I need help on capering and the 1st track. It's painful!!!

Midwest, 98 overall (so far), although I doubt I'll finish in the top 128. I'm around 100 on Cape Ring, but only 300 at Tsukuba...Can't get better on that track, just yet. I'll keep on trying though.
Learned a thing or two from Choate51's ghost on Cape Ring :)
 
Being a race car driver has been my dream since..., well I don't know. I'm not the fastest in this game, and I'm not the best driver in the world.

But I'll be damned if I don't give everything I can to GT Academy. I'm using a controller, but I refuse to let that intimidate me. I have a month to get my finger finesse to a point where it's equivalent to someone with a wheel.

haha, same here
 
I even left work early to come home and play! A "little bird" said it was out 2 days ago, which I called BS on it and I was right.

I'm currently ranked 105th in Tsukuba in the Midwest region. Where do I find the other 2 race event?
 
I'll try to update the OP tomorrow after I get back from the flat screen TV store with my new bad boy Plazma :)

GT5 melted my old one :lol:
 
West region here. 40th overall as of last night I'm sure thats dropped quite a bit. Need to start watching ghosts to see how all the top guys are getting the times quicker.
 
Good job there Hunk. Looks like us forza guys aren't having to much trouble at all. I only did tskuba so far but ended up 5th in my region at bed time. Wish i was still unemployed so i could really go hard at this.
 
Just messed around with the Tsukuba round this morning and after 3 laps sitting in top 150th. But props to EDK and TimeAttack. I haven't tried the other events yet since I am one of the few that still have work until the 24th :(
 
Southeast region.

Haven't even been able to hit the track yet but I did download the update yesterday and plan on putting in some sessions tonight on it.

Midwest region.

I've only played Tsukuba where I'm 3.2 seconds off the leader and ranked somewhere in the 700's. Obviously, I'm no expert racer, but I'm having a blast with it and I really feel like I'm learning something. Just keeping from spinning out has been my biggest challenge so far.
 
Mid-West here also, I am about 10 sec off combined and as of last night I was in 56th in the division, but now I am sure I am in the 1000th....

I like the track selection....
