Looking forward to watching the show thanks for the news post!!!
GRRRRRRRR!!
I don’t have SPEED Channel! >:( :*(
SHE LOOKS HOT!!!!!! :D and that girl standing in front of the camera too…..xD
Here in Brazil Speed is horrible, not in content but in image qualite.
So far the worse in the Sky TV, really a shame. You can’t even see most of the number in the top of the screen showing the race position.
Please honey, the only driving you’ll do is staking vampires on True Blood with those shoes. *snap* *snap*
They also want their outfit back.
(But seriously looking forward to the show.)
Despite what you are getting from the above picture, she’s actually really cool.
Wow, Speed Tv is showing something other then NASCAR. I don’t hunk this show is going to last long at all.
Think*
Don’t bother correcting. Your knowledge of television programming is worse than your grammar. :P
Well god if my grammar was good you wouldnt have anything to do and speed tv always had NASCAR on.
Seeing Speed covers F1, Grand-Am ( both Rolex and Continental leagues), V8 Supercars, Le Mans, moto gp, off road racing, and sprint cars, then I would say you are incorrect.
My favorite SPEED show is “Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain” which is on Sunday’s at 9:00 and covers every thong racing.
awwww I don’t have cable
lol you comment pops out from the other xD. funny…but a shame…
Does this really deserve a tv show? Do you also watch shows abou peoples Madden leagues? Just throw it on that tv part of the game nobody uses. Seriously, what could they possible show that is worth watching?
Some people will like it and the rest of us will just have to change the channel.
Hopefully it won’t be like other reality shows complete with the poorly-acted and producer-encouraged “drama” that drive me to avoid so much programming these days.
Personally, I’d enjoy the opportunity to just watch any straight motorsports programming. Varied motorsports updates and car education — hard to imagine Kaz wouldn’t want that kind of programming.
It has to be better than that “housewives” crap and everything else that comes on TV now days. Since NFL doesn’t play on Tuesdays I’ll watch it.
So if I’m reading this correctly from these last few comments, will you be on the show?
Are those five airdates the same show?
Or is it a series of different shows?
New episodes are Tuesday night, so the Wednesday shows are repeats. That’s not the full schedule, just the first two episodes.
What has come of GT games? If they weren’t so busy with these kinds of shenanigans, maybe the game could have been better.
PD has nothing to do with GT Academy, it’s all Sony.
Stupid comment.
Yeah, sure. Nothing at all. Why so harsh with the name calling? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Are you one of the GT academy drivers r1600?
No name calling, just wasn’t a good comment.
Yes I was.
Just because you don’t like the comment doesn’t mean I, or anybody else should be called out for it. Your supposed to be a professional about it. What are you going to do two years down the road when the press calls you out? Tell them there stupid?
Dude, you should know better. Looks what this program has done for Gran Turismo as a whole. You want to tell Lucas to his face that he doesn’t deserve it because the whole thing is just “shenanigans”?
You know man, I bought GTpsp to get a head start on gt5 like say said we could, only to find out the cars I bought could not be used in anything other then arcade. I bought gt5 in hope of having a long a spec career, that also didn’t happen. How is a reality show, and GT academy helping the Gran Turismo brand. I think it’s gotten worse.
I miss Speed channel alot. :( But that won’t stop me from seeing stream if possible? Or after puttin on youtube.
And that girl. She’ll be Gran Turismo’s race girl for GT6. ;) LOL
Clearly she got this job thru her racing know how and the incredible insight she can bring about car handling.
And peopl say she’s just a big pair of…
Can’t bring myself to watch. IMO USGTA was a joke, poor implementation, allowing cheaters, who ever has the most available time to race wins, etc etc.
I’m sure the fastest drivers got to the end anyway, however the execution was embarrassing.

Great news, SPEED is going better and better…
Really? I like the 350Z better, but I think that the 370Z looks pretty cool. In my opinion the paint scheme in the picture makes it look pretty awesome. Kind of evil looking.
You could pick up fat chicks all day long.
Yeah that car makes Porsches look good
370’s don’t look too bad. The paint scheme just makes it look unusual.
I don’t like the look of Porsches or 370’s, it’s just the shape I don’t like but I do like the Porsche Carrera GT
Hmm… I’ll be watching! I hope it won’t be like some programs I’ve seen where they act like you know nothing of the game. Even though it’s about GT Academy rather then GT5. By the way, what show is she from? Or whatever she originated from.
G4 TV
Oh wait, Kristen is only mildly irritating. She’s so awesome at finding all of those cheats though!!! I was originally thinking the host was the same host that does The Tester and other gaming competition shows. SPEED should’ve gotten the Cope sisters :p
The first post should obviously have been, “Do *you* come with the car…?”
Kristen Adams is so friggin’ irritating! She’s not even all that good at reading a teleprompter.
..she is a hoty..but damn this car, z370, is unusualy ugly.
In your opinion, of course. ;)
No for real that colour design is dreadful. Otherwise beautiful car but yeah this ones ugly.
I’ll be watching!
Awsome :D good thing i have SPEED Chanel xD.
the girls..
The host? She was awesome off camera, great sense of humor.
Well, she can be ON camera for me as well… :P
Is this just one episode or is there a more than one?
If it’s anything like what we had here in the UK, it’ll be a series. A short one, though, I think ours was like 6 episodes long. I meant to check it out but completely forgot, and by the time I remembered it was already gone.
Not that I was THAT interested, of course, I was more curious to see what they filled an episode with.
