I hope they have an actual race in the final episode. These challenges they do are fun and all, but let’s see what they can do in a situation with the other drivers all around them…you know, an actual race.

That’s the very last thing they do I believe. The winner of the race wins GT Academy.

Why it’s needed to be a resident in the US? I want the prizes and can’t compete for them because I live in another country.. I don’t find that fair, but what can we do..

I think you should have gotten more credit for taking a risk with the foam cutout challenge.

I’m going with Nick all the way.
Really looking forward to seeing the guys race for real. A 1 on 1 race between Nick and Jett for the win would be epic!
It’s about time we found out who won, the secret business must be killing the competitors. -

Haha :)
Jeremiah – thanks man, I really appreciate words coming from guys like you. It let’s me know that there are intelligent people out there that can see through the TV-Drama and look at the real data in the times. :) Hey, I went for it and was fully committed in the corner at the limit of traction, there was no adjusting my trajectory enough to make it through the gate once I realized my plan of attack was not inside of it; just turns out the gate wasn’t where I placed the car :D. I guess my thought was “it’s just a foam gate, that’s softer than the cones I go around at autocrosses!” and wasn’t going to get a little thing like that stop me from dropping the hammer and setting the pace. In retrospect, it turns out the judges weren’t looking for that and wanted more conservative, but I don’t regret it one bit, it’s who I am and I’m proud of that. And proud to rep Gtplanet, and guys like you. Cheers.
Hydro – Thanks for your faith in me man, it’s appreciated :tup:
Rees- How’s the baby? :)
Jordan – Yeah, I was like WTF mate?! :) It’s “Bar-Bay-Toe.” My biological father was Italian.

I don’t understand, GTPlanet has a pretty good European following yet still only US entrants? :( This makes me a sad bunny!
