The format changed quite a bit from 2011 to 2012 GT Academy. I'm hoping it goes back to full laps, as in 2011, not sections, as in 2012.
It'll be quite disappointing if we get only quick license test style events like last year. In order to really get to appreciate the physics, we need to be able to run a full lap at our own pace.
It's interesting to think about whether they'll show off most of the new tracks or not, and at what stages (since the competition's going to last a few weeks). I'm expecting at least all the new tracks that were in the E3 demos: Matterhorn, Willow Springs, Silverstone.
We can at least be pretty sure that the final track challenge, the one that will actually count, will be Silverstone. But then again, you never know, could be a track no one's even seen yet in GT (Bathurst, Brands Hatch?). We will see.
