When i applied for GT academy last time it was there in bold letters on the apply screen; something along the lines of you must be over 18 and hold a full national driving license.
I don't know, maybe it was just for UK. But i re-read it again and again. Eventually i entered and had a go anyway but came nowhere near the time needed

Are you kidding? GT5 cars, GT5 track, GT5 physics... you are right, it doesnt represent GT5

LOL @ the complaints about damage:
#1 Justification for damage listed on GTP site:
To dissuade other drivers from running into you so as to promote race better racing.
Does anyone else see the issue with the above statement and this TT ?
Surprised the "Livery Editor" crew havnt thrown their 2cents in as well whinging about that not being available in this download.
PD - " Here is a limited release single track, designed for you to get your best possible laptimes on to qualify for the GT Academy"
Punters -" I want to be able to smash my car into the wall and have it fall to bits"

The guy who has the demo at Gaf says that PD told him:
"just got an email saying that this is ONLY for the GT Academy and not a demo from GT5 xD it doesn't serve as a preview or review. they also say that we should not capture videos from it"
Have those apples

Notice the bumps in the road after turn 11. You don't get that in prologue currently. The car no longer floats along
It's hard to tell if the graphics and sound are that much different from these clips. I'm quite interested to see if the shadows in cockpit view have been improved as they were quite blocky and ugly in Prologue.
The main difference is the map which is now more zoomed in to the area of the circuit you are on. Personally I think it's a bit big and would only really come in useful for the Nurbugring where the little map on GT4 just doesn't really give you enough detail as to what's going on. The old map stayed still and just the dots for the cars moved but the whole map moves this time. That could get a bit distracting plus you can't see where the other cars are if they are off the track area shown on screen. Basically, I hope you can turn it off!

Well damage model still not finished..👎
But I hope for weather changes!!!!
Just because it's not included in this demo, doesn't mean it's not finished.
This man speaks the truth!

Maybe the words in bold will shine some light on the situation...
The time trial based GT Academy version of Gran Turismo 5, which launches this Thursday, has the Indianapolis Speedway GP Circuit (as we said last week) and is just 220MB, according to reports this morning. The two versions of the Nissan 370z are locked with R1s for the tuned version and N3 for the normal street version and the demo as a whole feels stripped down. Apparently its your total time thats going to be taken into account, so youll need to be handy with both versions of the car if you want to succeed.
Info from sixthaxis. The file seems a little small although that means less download time which is always a bitch when it comes from PSN.

You can change the map size in the demo too, I believe. It's seen on the first vid. He changes the "track size" from 200m to 250m or something like that.
Ah that's good news about the map. 220mb seems way too small, most game demos you get online are around 800mb - 1.2gb and it has to be standalone as it can't pinch bits from prologue but the smaller the better so I can download it and play it quicker

Most demos give more content. We get 2 cars 1 track...honestly you can't expect this to be as big as full featured demos

The demo looks nice, but it seems very basic. Not even a snack. But I'll take it.

If it included damage, this bite-sized demo would pack some flavor!
But, I guess I'll take some new physics.

I'm quite impressed in all honesty that they gave us a GT Academy Demo at all! They could have used Prologue again so i'm thankful we'll have something fresh to master over the Christmas period, Theres no need to moan and whine but the smartest person in this thread said something that made me even be thankful for people moaning. Keep on moaning because less of you will play it therefore people who actually care about the Demo will participate and do well. Bring on Thursday!

Agreed, this is not a demo, just a way of attracting upcoming drivers for GT Academy. A demo contains more than this. Sounds and graphics seem exactly the same as prologue, but being that this is a crappy low res video we cannot be 100% sure. Well, at least we have 2 new cars and a new track.
