how to claim your cars? GT Academy

[opelgt1969]

I'm curious to know if you will need to temporarily keep the GT Academy install, game data, game save or all of them to unlock the cars in GT5. What happens if you delete GT Academy from your PS3 before the cars are gifted to GT5?

Also what would happen to those people who played GT academy but don't own GT5 yet, will they get the cars? PD haven't really been clear about this at all.

I would imagine just the save data will be needed. That has the information on how many golds you have so the GT5 game should just need to read that. You'd assume, anyway.

If you guys can read, they said that everyone will be able to receive their cars on July 4th, 2012 http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/news/d6375.html

If you read all previous pages you would see that this has been posted so many times.

I just got my last gold in round 8, it says can't register my time, which is fine but I should still get my 370z tuned right?

 

[elric718]

Yes, I wonder if golds gotten after the event ended count for getting cars. I'll see because on one of my accounts I only did event 7 tonight.

I noticed this morning that the on the site the number of players, gold medals, retries and milage run still evolve. So it does seem they are still registered.

Yes, it counts, like the ended seasonals, you can do it even ended and get the prizes, i just download and made all golds just yesterday with the countdown in 0:00:00:00 and it says that i get the cars, looking foward to 4th july.

I don't know for sure. But I would guess No. You will only receive them on your Gold Medal account. You could (I think) still get gold on your other account and receive the cars there.

Thanks playnthru

You can still do the events. I've improved a couple of silvers to gold just a few days ago. But, rankings do not change. As you said, the competition has closed. We can earn prizes until March 2013.

Quick question. I accidentally deleted my Nissan LEAF ticket (serves me right for trying to claim the cars from bed while only being awake for 5 minutes); is it possible for me to get that ticket back in any way?

 

[spikeyhairdude]

Check your car delivery.

Or Try Buy the car from the New Car Dealership.

You can't.

 

[MightyJordan]

You can't.

What he said. I checked my car delivery too, and it's empty. Is possible to receive it as a gift from someone then?

No if you've lost it you've lost it I'm afraid.
