I've got a question, let's say you aren't consistently in the top 10 but good enough to make it through to the top 16 (let's say you were the 16th individual). Is there still a chance to come out as the winner? Will the judges be looking for someone who comes in 1st place all the time during the finals (aka boot camp)?

as for france and overall - its ti-tech. silex95? just please stop posting since u have no idea what ur saying, silex is far from beeing the fastest + hes undearage, so he cant compete even if by some miracle he finished top
cro, poland, Japanese and aus arent supported, ur right for the fastest ppl tho
post facts, not fiction
Jann came 11th in last years TT (I think it was 11th) and he won, it's your performance at the finals that will carry you through to the next round!

There'll be 32 finalist in total for each region right? 16 from TT and another 16 from live events. Correct me if i'm wrong
You are correct Tidgney-Jann came 11th in the UK and Ireland-59th in the Europe.
2011 European leaderboard for your perusal

It'll be top 32 from each region that has a GT Academy, and from there, they'll meet in person and race head to head until they have the top 16, who then go to Silverstone for the final part of the competition.
You mean to say they're going to fly myself and 31 other people from the States to Orlando for the Finals? That seems like an awful lot of people?
I don't have much time to get some swim trunks!! Ah man I'm so white...they'll know I'm an out-of-towner for sure.
EDIT: This is one massive competition.

Now I'd be interested in seeing a video of the foot and hand work that goes into a fastest time. I can watch replays all day long but they're still replays at the end of the day. I want to see the person putting down the lap/corner(s). I want to see how fast they're turning into these turns and I want to see them tap dancing on the pedals. Know what I'm saying? Man it's late/early.
Diggin the confidence. Shouldn't count your chickens before they are hatched though. There is a lot people that aren't showing there true colors in these rounds. Once 8-5 hits look out there will be super stiff competition.
So do the top 16 from UK/Ireland in round 8-5 progress to the next stage??
