The car and track are the 2017 Nissan gt-r road car on the tokyo expressway supposedly on sports soft tires with no assists and manual transmission. the first cairo weekend is tomorrow and i'll post the best time after the weekend is said and done. you should give us ur best times as well when u guys are done. good luck
Malaysia unfortunately is not in the calendar of GT Acacemy this year sadly.
Malaysia is a very nice and cool place. I was there during the Asian LeMans sprint cup opener. We are the only Ginetta LMP3 car against Adess and Ligiers. I might come back there next week for the next race.
nope sorry man, they say they will expand again next year in 2017 but as of now no word on other regions
already have, waiting on a reply, thanks te?Booth operators can not compete. That is not allowed in our country. You can directly message GTA Global on facebook should you have any concerns. Just make sure if you do PM them make it very detailed.
Cheers!
This is nice to see.
Our country's reserve finalist told me that their only sole duty was simply just to fill in the slot, in the event one of the official racecamp finalist fails to attend the camp, due to unforeseen circumstances or any failure of submission of necessary documents(to travel, health et.al.). Its pretty straightforward logic.
what do you mean by jann type deal?
Also i am rooting for her cause if she wins the whole thing it will ensure massive publicity for GT academy which will insure the continuation of the international gt academy competition because....as you may have already been able to tell....i didn't qualify for this year
Anyways wishing her the best of luck
[with that said I'm open to members asking for further help or advice]). All I'm doing is laying out some details for members of this community - particularly those competing in Race Camp this year - to use however they see fit, on top of making sure that everyone aims to get a fair and equal chance in every stage of the competition when viewed from the organizers side of things.
Note that I'm not taking anything away from Jann's undoubted success in representing a whole generation of us who wants to transition from virtual to reality with this response. Those who followed Season 3 of GT Academy closely may know the full story but from my recollection of things Jann was given every opportunity to win that final race so that Nissan gets their dream scenario to announce him as the GT Academy 2011 winner.
If you look far enough on the GT Academy Facebook page you'll see what transpired from the 2011 competitors comments (assuming the page admins haven't deleted them yet). Long story short, there was a really quick Frenchman named Thibault Lacombe who was in line to win the 2011 European Academy. Thibault was asked to swap cars and starting positions with Jann before the final race. The kicker, was that Jann's car had some gearbox trouble (on top of the Season 2 winner already being a Frenchman. Word was Nissan UK, who was the brainchild of the competition, wanted to see a return on investment after 3 years). The rest of the story, well, just look at what Nissan's done with the program in the past 8 years.
That's kind of where I was headed with the "Jann type deal" topic in regards to Elysse's national final succcess. Nissan obviously can't [be seen to] pull anything like that again and I like to think that the competition has developed enough to the point where things like that shouldn't happen again. NISMO TV has already decided to do the "undercut" by name-dropping her as the first female to qualify for Race Camp, see video below from 56 seconds onwards.
Also note that I'm not taking anybody's side on this (apart from any inherent nationalistic sense of pride of course, it would be sick to see another Filipino win
The best frame of mind you can really be in going into Race Camp besides knowing you have the potential to win it is to be comfortable with uncertainty (and that you're basically competing for a job at Nissan). Which brings me to my next point. Elysse, if you're reading this, expect to be on the spotlight, you're literally making history with every step you take in Race Camp so it's a good idea to get comfortable with the discomfort early if you're feeling any.
you're laying out the facts not making accusations you're actually leaving us to draw the conclusion. I am actually rooting for Elysse more than any of my countrymen because a female winning the program would bring more positive attention towards GT academy which in turn assures it's continuation.
Louie you don't need to be so defensive man
i'll be coming in with some news shortly, but all i know is that the north africans were mixed up in the commentary and we don't know the extent of the damage it did on the decision to not pick wally as the overall academy winner
