GT Academy Prize Car Seasonal

Now THIS (370Z tuned) time trial was enjoyable at the Ring. The back end can get a little squirrelly at times, but fun nonetheless. Finally able to drive one of these GTA cars around a real track made it more interesting. No offense to the made up tracks they had us time trialing, but knowing a course beforehand makes it so much better. I've run a heck of a lot of laps around the Ring recently, and have come to love it. Ran only 1 lap totally stock, 1:39.135. There's much time to be made up. I plan on working over this time trial for a while. :dopey: I don't plan on being near the top though, as I don't want to tune my cars by adding things that I can't take back off.
 
Hm.........done all the other ones without to much trouble, but don't think I'm gonna make the TT here:indiff:

That car really is all over the place:guilty:

Yeah, because Spa and Motegi are fantasy tracks.
 
There were no Time Trials on those tracks, just races which I think is what Dolph Drago was referring to.

Granted the 370z on Spa was with 3 other cars, trust me I hit them enough :lol: but the final one on Motegi was just a time trial.

I was referring to the GT Academy Seasonal events (time trials) which have all been on created courses, unless my memory fails me, wouldn't be the first time. :crazy:

Ah yes, apologies all round, I mis-understood and thought you meant the actual GT Academy game. :guilty:
 
I noticed when I was running the race around the 'Ring earlier, that no matter how fast I went, when I caught the 2nd place car, the lead car was always the same 5.xxx second distance away and seemed to have more speed than the rest of the field.

Took 4 attempts to get gold. And with the time I set on the race I won, it would have won me the race by 4+ seconds on my 2nd attempt, and 3 seconds on my 3rd attempt.
 
Well, the longest TT and by far the easiest. With just a couple of power upgrades and reduced engine power, no tuning I was able to get a 7:42.892. Not massively great, but good enough. I thought the race was tougher, only won that by 00.015 of a second on the short run to the finish line. :D
 
Had they not used Motegi in Round 6 I would have guessed that as well. I was surprised (pleasantly) that the TT was not on a generated track.
 
Anyone have a set up for the academy 370z tuned? Its a pig of a car to drive and I can't get any higher than 5th in the nurb race :(
 
The 370z tuned GTA TT is surprisingly easy with stock settings, 7:46.xxx with a rather relaxing drive, and numerous slides around corners. I am guessing with bone stock car , it could make into 7:40 or less.
 
Yes, I was referring to the time trials for the seasonals all being on the fantasy tracks, until this one at least.
 
I have a problem on this event. It would not recognize the car. I checked the requirement more than three times, the event is still not recognizing my 370Z. All I did was put new paint on it. Can anyone help me please?

Your in the wrong car. It has to be the 370 from the last round of the 2012 GT Academy races.
The "older" Nissan 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy) '08 isn't eligible.
