GTP_WRS-Online : Academy/D-League Racing - Suspended Until GT7

Appreciate the input, and I think I'll take your advice. I have a couple of ideas running in my head about getting a decent shot in with multiple cars.

Maybe that take a photo at Top Gear Test Track could be a good idea due to all the cones on the track. Or take a picture from the slalom of the driving license or something like that could be good aswell.
 
I'm downloading 👍

I also got a Dropbox (I'm a Mac user and I used iCloud before but Apple decided to stop this application :( ) but i never used it, i don't know how to do, lol.

Lichi if you don't mind checking my driving, tips would be greatly appreciated as I need to improve my times. (It's gtp_mamba) cheers

On second thoughts there might be some lag so I'll post the replay I saved later

- Well, there is a bit...
 
We don't have any academy slot this week due to the special enduro this weekend, but if any of you guys want to observe the weekly races tomorrow (Wednesday) the grids look light enough that a couple observers won't hurt or cause issues. If the grid gets to 12+ we usually don't allow observers due to connection issues/lag/etc, but when the grids are smaller you have an open invite to observe.

Of course when you feel comfortable you can also join in on the race as a participant and/or join our practices on Tuesday. 👍
 
Are we visiting Monza for this weeks academy? It would be a good lesson in heavy braking and drafting, which seems to be very important

No we are not Manu. The thread will be announced tonight...
 
Will it be announced in this very thread, or another?

Everything will stay in this thread. So create a subscription and you should be on top of the information when it's released. 👍
 
OP's are updated and sign ups are open!

Note: We moved the Academy one hour earlier so we can follow up with the Saturday Attack Format Races.
 
I've signed up. I think I'm about 70-80% sure, of being there... By the way, why's it at 20GMT? (It's a better time for me 👍)
 
I've signed up. Any chance we can implement a "one group at a time" rule and "watch the instructors have a clean battle" ideas this week?
 
I was on par with Shawn during the TT that week so I dont know whether to sign up as a student or an instructor given that shawn has signed up as an instructor. Anyway Ive signed up anyway as a student but that may change during the event

I like this idea Wardez. I also think its a shame gt5 doesn't allow people to follow someone onboard

Yes we will, I will write down the changes as soon as possible...

I went the instructor route because there's been many online races where I've had the pace to battle/beat D2 drivers.

Of course, this doesn't mean I'm not open to criticism on my own driving habits.

Thats true, you've been on D2 pace for quite a while from what I see in the TTs

We decided to move it an hour earlier so we could follow the Academy Event with the Saturday Attack Event. Check the other thead here in the WRS Online Sub forum. Both events will be on the same Combo so it'll be easy on the Academy guys to compete there too, time permitting of course.
 
What a great idea!!

I fancy myself as a solid online racer, having had 5+ years in the Online PC world + my TT experience.

How can I help?

I first started as a D2 driver and thanks to the help of other drivers I have worked my way up. Since them I'm always willing to share my knowledge and help others.

Just letting you know, it still says 9pm GMT in the register form.

Doubt I'll make it if it's at 8, unless it's ok if I join late? If not I'll just come for the Saturday attack event.
 
Ah ok, I'll change the reg form when I get home.

Of course you can join later, it's an on and off track event anyway.
 
Sorry I can't make it again this week. RL gets in the way on Saturdays! I might not ever make it. :indiff:

Nice that you will join again Daniel. These cars are indeed a lot of fun. Following the academy we have the SA races with the same cars aswell. This will be in the same room.

I've signed up:)

Welcome Stef, good to see more div5. entries 👍
 
Question,in the OP it says ' tuning prohibited' ,but there is a list whith parts that are allowed?
With Academy in my mind,wouldn't it be better to use 100% stock cars?
Seems with this combo hard enough without the tuning?
