Oh...mah...gawd. So that would actually mean then that the Rounds may go like this:

Round 1: Nismo GT-R
Round 2: Nismo GT-R GT3
Round 3: Z11SN Greaves Motorsport
Round 4: Nismo GT-R LM


Of course, still a guess.

That's what I think too

Oh sweet this supports my super duper awesomemazing theory about the GT-R LMP showing up for round 4
 
DSkywalker01
Strange... then why are there four rounds?

Your guess is as good as mine. Practice I guess. I myself would just be good with one round. Or, 4 elimination type rounds would also work I guess. The meaningless 3 rounds just doesn't do anything for me either.

EDIT: Maybe my friend @outlaw4rc would know since he's more experienced at this.

Okay, if that's the case... I really hope the Zytek is the Money Round as I just put up 84th in the world in the Delta Wing seasonal with I reckon .500 I can still get. LMP2 could get me in.


Oh yeah... 8th American in world on the DW seasonal... 25 would get in GTA... so I would be in.

Come on Zytek!

Don't mean to bust your bubble, but you can't really go by your Seasonal finishes. The competition in the Academy is a lot more fierce and plus it brings out all the big dogs. I'm around a top 25-30 driver in the world and top 5 driver in the U.S. in the Seasonals and last year I wasn't even close to that in the Academy. There are a lot of people who don't participate in the Seasonals and the ones that do, a lot of them don't really put in a solid effort, not like they do in the Academy when there is more at stake. Not trying to be negative here, but only looking at things realistically. So yea, just because you are 8th in the Seasonal, doesn't mean you'd be a shoe in for the Academy finalist position. I really hope you do well, but just don't get frustrated when you don't seem to be doing as well in the Academy as you have done in the Seasonals. Good luck to you my friend. :cheers:

All good mate! I am not really going to take this one seriously, as with many things in life, just see where I end up.

It will probably be the GTR-Nismo... and it will have 5000 degrees of camber you can't tune out and I wont have a chance! ;)

Well, good luck to you anyway, serious or not, you can always be proud of wherever you may finish. If anything, this will tell you where you truly rank among everyone.

Yep! I remember doing decent last year in the GTR, a car that does not suit me at all, and without doing too many laps.

All I know is that I will be logging a lot of laps in that Zytek, no matter what round its in!

Good luck to you as well! Should be fun!

Mind if I send you a friend request? It'd be cool to have you on my list as you seem along the same skill level as me and maybe we can push each other up the leaderboards with some friendly competition. :)

Oh...mah...gawd. So that would actually mean then that the Rounds may go like this:

Round 1: Nismo GT-R at Silverstone
Round 2: Nismo GT-R GT3
Round 3: Z11SN Greaves Motorsport
Round 4: Nismo GT-R LM


Of course, still a guess. Now comes the question of the next tracks. Of course it could just consist of the other FIA approved tracks already in game.

no no no

1: GTR Nismo
2: 370 Z
3: GTR GT3
4: Greaves Motorsport
 
Well, when GT Academy had booths at the AGP last year, we used the Schulze GT-R at Bathurst In a 16 car 2 lap race. Might use the GT3 car for a Bathurst race, since NISMO won the 12H this year.
 
Traditionally you went from either the Leaf or the 370Z up to the GT-R. Looks like the GT-R is round 1 this time so that would mean they dropped the 370Z completely from the GT Academy lineup in favour of having you escalate to the GT3 GT-R used in last year's final round.

Well the prize no longer involves a 370Z (minus the license signature obtaining races) since they switched to the GT-R GT3 for Dubai 24hr, and officially the prize now is a Blancpain season in the same car. So no need for the Z anymore I'm afraid.

Yea, that's too bad as that's one of my favorite cars in GT.
