Really happy puppy here, finally made it after 5 years (2008 nat finals & 2010 nat finals) of trying! 
Nordic finals were this time a two days event, on thu we only played GT - 3 TT rounds, all on Tsukuba (370Z Tuned on RH's). Best of 5 laps, total time of 3 laps and one superpole lap. Wasn't a great day for me, I think I only barely made it into top 4 that went through to 2nd day. :whistling:
2nd day was better for me, first round 10 laps of Suzuka total time (370Z tuned on RH's), I was second in Finland (Zkippe won suprizingly). Next was media and I think I did ok - hard to tell and for sure it was a bit nerv cracking. :sos: 3rd round was Nismo Juke at the ~55 sec cone lap. I think I was 2nd there with a lap I'm not happy with for sure. Even the warm up lap with the car was .4 or something faster.. Then there was only the fitness left to do which I think handled good. Best in sergeant jump with Zkippe, won the push ups (44), max points from the plank (both me and Zkippe stopped when they said we'd maxed the points @ 4min 45secs or something close to that) and the bleep test I was 2nd behind another Finnish guy and reached level 10 (really happy with that).
The organization handled everything perfectly, I didn't find a thing wrong there. Had an amazing 2 days and the Juke drive already made clear to me that the Silverstone trip will be an absolute blast!!
Big thanks to all the organizers and Nissan for sure to making the national finals an amazing experience for all.
Big bonus: No more Academy timetrials EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **** yeah!!!

Congratulations !! I assume Zkippe is the other one from finland ?? Who was the one from Sweden?
See you at Silverstone non the less
!
By the way I briefly watched the Portuguese livestream and was there a female in the final 10 doing the events? I couldn't tell as it was far away apologies if not!! But I was intrigued as that would be the second one to make a national final following Faiza!

Congrats to Timo, Jani, Filip and all the other nordic guys who got through to Silverstone! It was great to meet all of you and it was really fun two days in Malmö.
GT part of the competition was my strongest point, but I had some difficulties adjusting my braking for the TS500 brake pedal. Didn't really like the wheel overall and wasn't the only one
. Media was ok I think, difficult to tell, but then I messed up royally with the Juke and was rather poor in the fitness test as well, despite the good result in the plank test (don't know where that came from 
).
I'll have to make sure I won't make the same mistakes if and when the Academy comes to the nordics again. Good luck to everyone going to Silverstone and may the best racer win

Tidgney, the Swede who is going to race camp is Filip (PSN: Filip_Ovik).
As the guys mentioned above, 2 awesome days full of fun in Malmö! Really good organisation and great atmoshpere among players, it felt like we were a bunch of friends racing and having fun, not competiting against eachother!
I had my chance to go through after taking the best time of the day in Juke, but I failed tottaly on the gaming part for the wild card(2 last places). The only thing I can do is wait and hope for next year's edition of GT Academy in Nordics.
Good luck to all the guys who made it to race camp!

Definetly! I'm happy with my result anyway, the thing that makes me smile is that I managed to do the best time of all of us in the Juke and even beat the instructor's time!
I'm just hoping that Academy will be comming to the nordics next year, I'll do my best and I will improve everything I was bad at.
And when it comes to Filip, he is the guy who really deservs the ticket to Silverstone imo. I bet he is gonna go far on the race camp.
