1.18 CONFIRMED GTACADEMY begins April 21st!

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I did a 2:08.147s so quit so I could save the replay. Then 'A connection to the server could not be found'.

That was racing like a pro with a DS3 Controller on chase cam with one eye and my earphones in whilst watching Rooster Teeth videos.

 

[OdeFinn]

2:10.mid just fine for me, doing it without ABS. Won't even try with ABS.

Next round please..

 

[unit-one]

2:11.643

So close!

Close enough :I

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Did a 2:07,759, I'm pretty happy about that. I think I can still improve it, but not by much.

EDIT: Just did a 2:07,244

EDIT 2: I now have a 2:07,044. I even managed to get a 2:06,865, but thanks to GT's staggering penalty system, it was a red time.

That dank meme again

 

[Street Racer 77]

Wow, when I enter the GT Academy race my PS3 always freezes for 5 minutes befor I get the "A connection to the server could not be found" error.

It also happened to my when I wanted to leave the session after I did a 2:10:xxx My game didn't save the time and don't have the money anymore aswell as no goldmedal. But in the Ranking the game shows my time...

 

[sk8er913]

I did one lap as I can't participate in GT Academy due to age, and managed a 1.09.5xx

Not too shabby for a car I hate to drive, and one lap. Might have a few more laps to drop to a 1.08.xxx, if I can. 👍

My first 4 laps were invalid. That car doesnt like me.

 

[RACECAR]

Well gentleman, I think I may have found a clue as what the Round 2 track is:

Not my favorite car & track combo. Went back for a second go and it does say bronze or better to proceed so that answers an earlier post. Then had a weird glitch went into the icon which showed round 1 as silvertone but then showed a map of "twin ring motegi" with the red line buzzing around picture of montego
.system them locked up. Next round maybe? ?

My thoughts on Round 1.

The GT-R has an uncomfortable bit of under steering with those tires. After a couple laps you get used to it. It ended up being a fun car+track combo (except for the Becketts area, hehe)

Well gentleman, I think I may have found a clue as what the Round 2 track is:

Meh, could be anything. You're a programmer too. You know that a computer doesn't easily confuse a 1 with a 2. What could've happened.. o.o ... conflict with old data perhaps GT Academy 2014? Or was that standalone?

 

[svenhjs666]

only in the 2:12",need to find 1,5 second,but i don't know where i can improve myself with that marging.
i can improve but i don't think i'm gonna get gold in this .

Do you use abs? Do you use manual?

@mods this thread is still on topic, but would the GT Academy forum have a better thread for this or is it fine to keep this up?

My thoughts on Round 1.

 

[svenhjs666]

manual is nothing for me saddly.
abs is on yes,should i turn it off?

not using a steering wheel,using just the DS3 controller.

I think beckeets is fun. the one thats not fun is Copse. Copse turns my lap times into a corpse (invalid, or slow) lol

manual is nothing for me saddly.

Im using a wheel, the brakes are useless on this car, transmission braking is much more efficient in this car.

Im excited for the LMP2, unless that understeers too. Lol

I had a hard time with it as well. Got it right eventually, but I def agree it's a hard turn to consistently get right.

My thoughts on Round 1.

Not enough 4wd experience then, maybe few hours more

 

[DSkywalker01]

Down to a 2:08.5 still searchin' for laptime... I am just biding my time 'till the race cars!

Imo copse is the second hardest turn in real world corcuits on GT6, the hardest being turn 1 Daytona road course. (brakes are ineffective when off ground) @DSkywalker01 I just got a 2:07.914. #the7club... #the5club has no life.

Thankfully, this'll be the only road car round so you won't have to wait long.

I done 02:09:013 with DS3, abs 1 other driving aids off.

I did a 2:08.3 with G27 abs 0. But then I noticed all of the top 50 had abs 1. So then I got my 7.9 with abs 1

 

[DSkywalker01]

Got 'er down to a 2:07.709... gonna leave it at that for today... the GTR is tough on the flat Silverstone track.

Those people in the 2:05's are insane... not sure how you can get that laptime out of a road car.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

I've realised I'm too fat, unhealthy, old & slow to be a race driver so a 2:09.6 will do. Definitely room for improvement, maybe low 2:08's but I'm not getting anywhere near the top 1000.

DS3, ABS 1

2:07.790...today[closed session]

 

[RJS]

I turn on my PS3 to give it a go at GTA 2015 and this happened

 

[MCNAGTROC]

My thoughts on Round 1.

yeah if my actual GTR NISMO understeered that bad.. I would run it off a cliff (on purpose)

I threw in the towel at 2:09 because of that. there were some sections I was up on my ghost but pushing hard or going slightly off line with my driving style just made the front totally wash out

Interesting, is that a real track??

 

[RJS]

Real in the game, not so sure in the real life
