I don't think it's quite that hot over here yet, although it's getting that way
But thanks! 👍

One of the great things with Academy is feeling the tension one the few last corners when you're ahead of your ghost. There only few things that'll bring your pulse high that fast
Being ahead of your ghost by 3-4 tenths, then getting the last few corners slightly wrong and seeing your ghost closing in on you and eventually overtaking.
That feeling... not fun

Nice time mate
! I've actually had a couple of goes today which is nice for a change! There's a possibility if you nail the entire sector that in sector 1 you can get a .3xx! Last sector there's time to so won't be suprised if Ti-tech goes into .4's soon!
Personally got into the .4's today in that first sector finally lol! Still time there which is cool, as for my total lap I've redlined a 16.9, and a ton of 17.2's literally unlucky red ones as well, but another .346 which is a slightly improvement from earlier on. The lap before that as I just continued was a .371
! Another go later should hopefully prove worthwhile!

Great time, keep at it 👍 My theoretical best atm is a low 2:16.6, hoping to be in the 2:16.7's soon but I might give it a rest for today

Well done for edging me again Spurgy 
Haven't been able to have a go since I set my time earlier as we have quests round.
I think I need to have a look at my approach to the first sector if Tidgney says a .3 is possible!

I try my best
And I personally don't see how a 37.3 in S1 is possible, my fastest is a 37.529 and it's quite a rare occasion for me to get into 37.5s.

Out of curiosity what wheel are the top guys using? I know it probably doesn't make a difference but I'm just curious.

I've got a DFGT, I think Bandit has a G27, I don't know about anyone else but they're the main wheels people use

Hi all,
My friend is first in Sweden in the online ranking. Today he visited the live event and came first there. My question; will he qualify through online or the live event to the national final?
Personally it would be good for me if he qualified through the live event as that increases my chance to qualify to the national final

I've been a car length ahead of Ti-tech going into the loop. There's a bit of time in Abbey/Farm and most of the time is in Village. As I said I've been a head by a car length (Ghost appearing in mirror). But the most I've gained there, is being behind and catching going into loop equal no problem (Without a stupidly wide exit). But as you know it's easier to catch something than to be ahead as if I am behind I can use Ti-techs ghost on village as a really good reference for the slide needed. Zkippe does it quite well from what I've seen and it's how I approach it (Except I switch to second and back to third) you can check that out in Eddies reference lap, but I get this slide on similar to the Loop but I can actually accelerate in 3rd before I even hit the apex, just gains that bit more time.
That time gained there wouldn't effect the loop, it's just even harder to nail the loop, so when I say a .3 is possible I mean as an absolute perfect sector 1. But it's definitely there don't get me wrong. I don't think I'll nail it as getting the loop spot on is incredibly difficult
and I'd rather focus my time elsewhere on the track!I use a G27
, I have a DFGT and my G25 is broken but I'm making a display with my old wheels and playstation stuff !

Interesting read Tidgney 👍 I will definitely try out a different approach
Tomorrow we are having a barbecue at our house and I've set up my old DFGT for other people to have a go at it, my friend is bringing another PS3 along, should be good fun

Is anyone selling out their wheels ?
I just tried a G27 at the mall and the feeling of it was astonishing
It was attached to a superleague formula simulation thing, the force feedback was something I've never felt before
The thought of stealing it passed by my mind but i saw a security guard next to me
I can say I fell in love with it

I'd be lucky to even get a 37.7 in Sector 1! I think I've lost the magic I had before. I just can't keep up anymore.
May just be an off day doodle, come back tomorrow and you'll pick up again!
Update from me I lowered my .3 down again lol. Was annoying I redlined a .0 this evening well it was actually just from to much kerbing from the lap before but was quite happy to just keep the rhythm going.. Anyway was slightly gutted by the end of the lap again lol! My sectors really are coming together now so my target is definitely in sight 👍

Has anyone else had the game freeze as you go over the finish line, just like GT5?
Got a PB and all I can do is switch the machine off and lose it.
I've not had that
, I assume it's the same issue as GT5 with a ghost related problem? Or are you following a different ghost each time :S?

Hey Mate,
I'm pretty sure he will now qualify through the live event rather than the qualifier but I'd send him a message to make sure. I think that's what they said about last years T&C anyway.

Terms and Conditions
! Last year from what I remember in the conditions it said something like (For the UK anyway): 'If a competitor qualifies with both live event and qualifier the live event takes priority and the next available participant will then qualify from the online event'. Not that exact quote but it was something along those lines. It's alot less hassle to go finding people from a live event than a qualifier. But don't quote me on this years rules, your best pm'ing their facebook page or (I assume it's hager?) hager should be contacted pretty soon?I've jumped upto 3rd in the UK now... After a string of red laps yesterday I did a .302 this morning (Typical to stay in the 3's lol...) then a .2xx but my first sectors have been a shambles and on that .302 I was 5 tenths off my best ever sector 2 so will see what I can do later

I've now read through the whole page on the gran turismo website about terms and conditions but couldn't find anything about it. I'll try their facebook page now
Yes it is hager.

Hey Spurgy, you're doing pretty impressive in it this year. Keep up the good work!
6th worldwide according to mine, best in UK.
Notice a few others of you now I'm looking again.
GTP having a good showing!!
Anyone above 6th from GTP?

Thanks! Still got some more time to gain so hopefully I can stay up there 👍
Pretty much my guess as well, I think someone said somewhere that REsuper is in the IRacing World Championship or something, but that's all I know.

Fingers crossed 👍
I'm something like 10 seconds off you
I did a 24.5 or something. I was 3 tenths under Gold time.
