Speed Is All That Counts- Asia online tournament

[McClarenDesign]

Hopefully someday we'll get something like this for other regions as well. Maybe not GT5, but hopefully at least for 6.

To be fair, some of us get GT Academy, while others don't. Poor Australia and Canada seem to be ignored a bit, but at least Australia is getting Bathurst eventually.

For all you guys on the Asian side of the world like me, I just checked, it's live. 👍

Now I'm off to be in 1st. For the first few minutes.

I'm 2nd! For the first time ever! Out of 2, but whatever.

It's very…easy though. The gold lap time is 3:12.000, but the car they give you does it in 1:40s when you're cruising…a bit like they're not expecting us to be that fast anyways…

Thanks, and I am! I got the time down by 0.3, then fell down 3 places. Ah well, I was beaten by proper wheel users who used TCS:1, and that's good enough for me.

Congratulations!Keep going with it.
Is there any special livery on the Calsonic you get or is it the car that is in the game?

It's the same one as the one in the Dealership…I wish it had a slightly special livery to commemorate your participation, but nope.

Apparently, Sony doesn't believe Taiwan is in Asia... it's not in the country list and it doesn't let me join.

Wait a minute.

Does this...

Err, how do you figure that? Just because they fly you to the track to race there, doesn't actually mean that they'll bring in the 2012 cars. And I checked the site, the cars you're using are still the '08 cars.

Sepang circuit isn't in GT5. So unless you're competing in a real life track event, they'll have to model this track if it's going to be on GT5.

 

[Mac K]

All of us outside Asia should have our own unofficial competition, running the same car and track combo. I think it would be fun.

 

[freshseth83]

I guess they aren't going to model Sepang, at least not from the info they've given. They'll just be at the circuit racing GT5 at Suzuka for the finals.
