GT Academy USA Round 1 Complete, 512 Drivers Progress

Gran Turismo 5 GT Academy January 24th, 2011 by Jordan

After more than a month of grinding away at Tsukuba, Rome Reverse, and Cape Ring, the top regional drivers in GT Academy USA have finally crossed the finish line – see here for all of the official results. I’d like to congratulate all GTPlanet readers and members who made the cut, and a special thanks to everyone using their GTP_ “tagged” PSN accounts which can be found throughout the leaderboards (nice work, GTP_potatochip for being the highest-placed tagged driver).

A quick member profile survey shows that 17 of the top 25 nationally ranked players are registered GTPlanet users – a great accomplishment for our community that, hopefully, will ensure we have plenty of representation at the national finals and Silverstone. Head on over to our GT Academy 2011 forum for more discussion. Congratulations, once again, to everyone moving forward in the competition!

    I was under the impression the top rankings were a bit closer time-wise than what it is there now, interesting.

      Yeah.. Congrats to the drifters who move on.
      Whoever wins this will be one hell of a Drifting race driver.

      When are they going to have a competition for drivers?
