how to claim your cars? GT Academy

[spikeyhairdude]

Same as me. Everyone is complaining about another "leaf" but its nice for the one's who don't have DLC

I had to delete alot of items. i thought i couldnt recieve it because my items was ful so i deleted about a 1000 paints just to see if i would get the cars

Lol, you had a back-up?

 

[snowgt]

I suspect that the main reason why the prize cars are not available yet is, that for new cars (even if it's maybe only a new livery) an update to GT5 is needed. It's exactly the same for DLC - everyone gets it, and they are just unlocked later on.

Now, if they weren't ready with the new cars before the last update, there's no way they can suddenly appear in GT5 now. So, chances are they will appear when the next update is available. (probably with some additional DLC soon thereafter)

Nope. Just deleted the first 1000

Wasnt thinking about this but i agree. they need a patchon gt5 to have the cars on gt5

i think that the special suites will come with a teddy bear so that our b-spec Bob's can give them cuddles.

who cares about these gta cars in normal gt5. there is no sense

 

[sgllocal]

academy is rubbish. cars rubbish too. not very nice releasing leaf to public seeing as some had to pay for it. Pd is constantly taking a step backwards with this game.

I care

I got gold's in all round 1 and 2 events, when I exited it said something along the lines of 'you have unlocked Nissan Leaf/Silvia GT academy 2012 to use in gt5. For details how to retrieve the car's go to gran-turismo.com'

I went on to the GT website, and can't see anything about getting these cars.
Has anyone else had this same problem/Know how to get the cars?
Any info is appreciated.

Look at the bottom of the website here.

At last! The facebook.com/GTAcademy has an answer:-

"Congratulations Gents! The unlocked vehicles will be accessible following the conclusion of the online qualification. More information on this will follow shortly on Gran-Turismo.com. In the meantime, hope you continue to have fun with the other events to come!"

So we'll have to wait a while.

However, will the inevitable update that comes to the game include DLC and new/improved game features? It is a ways off and gives PD time to develop further.

 

[Samus]

That pretty much confirms there won't be a GT5 update or DLC until this has finished.

What happens if I can't complete all the rounds? Do I miss the rest of the prizes? As of May 14th I won't have any more internetzzz

What do you think? If you can't compete, how do you expect to get any more prizes? You have until June 24th to complete the races, if you can't play then, well, you can't play.

This and the cars will probably come in a GT5 update which you won't be able to download without the internet, so you may aswell not bother with the Academy at all.

I'll have internet 10 weeks AFTER that said date. So if they come in with an update I'm happy . Plus they're probably tradeable like the previous GT academy 370z

The previous gta 370z was already in the game.
The gtr special gta was put in for the gta 2011 which cannot be traded so i doubt any of the new cars will be tradable

Where exactly does it say this on their page?

It doesnt.
Also why would it say gents. It would more likely to say competitors

Gran-turismo.com is the source for this information. Be patient. Here is a direct link to the page involving the statement about the prize cars:
http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/academy/2012/
The statement has a "gift box" symbol and is at the bottom of the page.

 

[Gturbo5]

[kttheman001]

Site is up. "if you clear all 5 events within a round in gold, you will recieve a car that you can use in the 'gran turismo 5' game. If you clear bronze or better youll get special racing gear that can be used on your avatar in gran turismo 5. The timing for distribution and how to recive prizes will be notified on this page at a later date"

Agreed. It would be great if a female player made it into the finals...

As for the cars, I already have the DLC Leaf but wouldn't mind another, it actually handles very well. A nice Silvia too, hope there are some other good cars to come. I really hope we don't have to wait until June 24th or later to get any cars, but they are free cars so we shouldn't complain.

just found this If you clear all 5 events within a round in Gold, you will receive a car that you can use within the ‘Gran Turismo 5’ game. If you clear all rounds in Bronze or better, you’ll also receive a special racing wear set that can be worn by your avatar in “Gran Turismo 5”.The timing for the distribution and how to receive these prizes will be notified at a later date on this page. http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/academy/2012/
