Hello and Welcome everyone.

That's it, the Ground Zero Academy is finally born.

What is the Ground Zero Academy?
This is a league of serious racers who want to improve their driving skills week after week, day after day, race after race, turn after turn.

There are lot of leagues on gtplanet. Why should I choose to race in this one?
Because what makes us different from other leagues is that your goal here will be to reach the Ground Zero which is the Division for no abs drivers.

That's cool but I don't want to run abs off ever. Shame because the combos looks really great.
No worry, the Ground 1 is exactly the same as Ground Zero, except abs.
So you and you only will make the choice to run in the Ground Zero.

Racing Format ●

Ground Zero Academy features a dynamic format.
It takes place on a two-week cycle. Week 1: One long race. Week 2: Two Sprint races
Long race: ~1hour / Mandatory Pit.
Sprint races: ~20mn / No Pit. Grid of race 2 is based on previous race results.


- Stock cars -> you buy the car and you break in it.
- One-Make -> Cars on the grid are 100% identical.
- Dates -> We will run 2 dates per week. One for NA and one for EU.
If you race in NA, you can't race in EU the same week (this is to avoid multiple driver points)

@ Petros & Twistedfireworks: Let us know when you want to run your Proving Ground (if you wanna run it) and we'll schedule a meeting. Take your time for practice before that ;).
