GT Academy Prep races

Nice! I'll try to join in for some of these! But unfortunately, my work schedule means I'll only be able to take part on weekends. Maybe there will be some UK lobbies that align with my schedule better.
 
That was a really mixed bag on my end tonight. Apologies for @gatordaryl and anyone else I hit. It's been many months since I raced in a room, let alone one where it wasn't a demolition derby. It's unnerving how late you can brake with some of these cars and if you back off, you get hit from behind.

I somehow bagged a win in the rain right at the end. Otherwise, I need to get my speed up with the online physics.
 
These prep races are a good idea of course. But make sure you all spend plenty of time getting your real driving practice in as well.

Last year, there was this little birdy who told someone that this year's national finals will most likely contain no virtual driving. Instead will contain only fitness, media and real driving.

In my opinion since the flash of Times Square is gone, it only makes that more probable. Nissan pours the most money into this program, and the virtual driving at nationals doesn't contain much benefit in terms of promotion for Sony.
 
It was fun to run some races last night. @outlaw4rc , no worries bud. Was clearly a minor racing incident. I was beyond tired at that point and was likely braking too soon.

You are a true asset to the GT community. Not only are you a fast, respectful racer ... You are selfless when it comes to helping your fellow racers improve their skills.

I will be away for a few days but will see you all this weekend.

Cheers!

The GT3's brakes defy logic so yes, you pretty much have to banzai into the corners for the best time. Not my favorite car in traffic.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if that's the case.

Hey guys I want to prepare myself for live events, this is my first year and I didn't make it on my country (only 7th fastest). What is the best way to prepare for live events? Online lobbys or offline free run? :confused:

I dont think there's a way to do non-split screen multiplayer on GT other than LAN, which should have to be be online physics?

Seriously bro, the whole French gt academy live event was run in arcade!

I was mistaken live events are show up and do a time trailto make it to race camp? That would be offline arcade mode.

Now at national finals the rigs are hooked up to internet so we can all race each other.

Hi @TRL_Importlife do you need to add my psn for me to join. Please add "GTIC_ptrain" I would like to join the prep race please :)

Also, tried to add room manually last night (GMT+7 time). Can I only add it when it is active?

THanks!
