hmm that is a worry. In NZ we get another mail on Monday that supplies details with how to register, or a form to fill out to declare your eligibility, something like that.
I'm sure you've checked your trash , or your spam catcher? Just in case.
I'd say wait until the other get 'another' email (on Monday maybe), and if you don't get one too, email the organisers.
BTW.. you've done some great times, I've had half an eye on your performance for a while :)

I'm 27th (currently) in Australia and I have received the top 30 notification email.

It wasn't sent to the email of my Master account on PS3. It was sent to another email that I set up for a sub-account under a different username.
 
Hi guys. I'm kind of a newb to the forum so please go easy on me :nervous:

I was browsing through the 'Competition Specific Rules' and I noticed something about each national final maybe having 'wildcard entrants'

"2.5. During the National Final, Qualifying Entrants will be required to complete various in-Game time trials. Each National Final may include additional wildcard entrants who will have qualified through a separate entry mechanism."

http://nz.playstation.com/legal/detail/item253884/GT-Academy-2009-2010-Competition-Specific-Rules/

I wonder what their different 'entry mechanism is' and which regions are most likely to have them 💡

High time to be thinking about this for me lol. I don't think I'll make the nat's this time round :(

yeah we have been, and again this time too... very little in it ! 👍

@ Louie_Schumii I think another method involved racing the demo at a show, if you were the fastest trialler at the show (eg Tokyo Motor Show), you got an entry in the final.
 
Does anybody know how to locate the registration form for Gt Academy? It says to follow the link on the website,but i can't find it. Any info would be appreciated.

Devie.... did you get the initial email regarding the Top 30?

I never recieved one... yet my email address checks out fine, and nothing is in my junk mail folder.

I'm a little worried that i might not get the proper email regarding the Top20.

I'm assuming there will be an email response with the relevant details regarding the event from Sony/PD in the coming hrs....

Now tell me, after you registered did you receive a confirmation email or anything? When i registered, it said entered successfully, but not receiving the initial email is really bugging me, and nothing has come through with further details about the national finals.

I've just spent the last 45mins looking for a phone# or link that i can contact PD (or PSN) to verify whether my registration was indeed successful.... to no avail.

Check your e-mail now. If no good contact me by private message and i can give you a phone number. 👍
 
I just got the email too. And its microsoft .doc format. My old version of office doesn't open it, and Openoffice, does not show the links i.e. "Whats Next" link that they talk about...

Im also missing the whats next link. The word document is just a copy of the email that was sent.

It says that you need a passport for the national final - I applied for a new one about 3 days ago, I hope it arrives in time

I think they were supposed to send 5 documents.. ? each doc with each of those titles,.. whats next, personal profile etc. ?
My passport will probably be in transit at finals time ...hmmmm

Have you applied for a passport also? Good to hear its not just me who is waiting on one.
Ill ring them up asap and see if they will still accept me. There is no reason why I should be declined a new passport, and it should be here way before the world finals start (should I happen to fluke making it)

Yes, my one is a renewal, so would be no problem obtaining it. Having it there on the day is a different matter however. I know we are not the only ones in the top 20 awaiting passports either.
But regardless, can hardly apply if they don't send the right documents in the first place.

Thanks Ripping :). I wonder if they'll have any wildcards here in NZ. Don't remember any shows lately that might have had the demo...unless they had a Gran Turismo stand in Armageddon.

Also registered for nationals :D. Never know if 5 guys aren't eligible or cant make it during those days :lol:
 
Hey guys did you get a confirmation e-mail straight away after registering or did you have to wait? I already registered some 4 hours ago and still no e-mail... :(

How about 14 hours :yuck:. I registered this morning, no email. Did it again during my lunchbreak at work just in case I did something wrong, still no email. Anyone from Belgium got an email yet?
Can't say I'm surprised though, it wouldn't be Belgium if I got an email by now.

They don't ask for your birthdate when you register ;)

can you register twice!? :eek: if so.. ill register 20 times.. perhaps i'll be alone in the final :lol: :lol:

take it easy Stijn... im sure they're working on it.. checking laps.. account details.. waiting for all top30 to register and see if everything is ok.. then send an invitation for everyone (i think) :D

edit: btw.. how could you've been waiting 14h if the link was posted (6am) :odd: correct me if im wrong 👍
 
I just got an email regarding my question about there being no links etc in the email that was sent yesterday.
It seems that these documents that you must fill out are actually physically mailed to you.
