Germany and Austria aren't merged, they're just sharing the location of the finals. 👍

Thanks. I'll change it later tonight. 👍

Anyone know the date for the Austrian venue?
 
Is that all the nordics have 1 place ? That is a shame, another reason why its a bit imbalanced amd not thought about.
 
We only know that Spanish Finals will be on Feb. 13 in Madrid. Where in Madrid?... no information about that.
 
I've confirmed my attendance and sent off all relevant paperwork also 👍

Confirmed: Nismoe-Dave for Ireland.
And getting back to the point about Ireland having it's own spot - I believe we had the highest population per head of people who bought a copy of GT4 in Europe so we are big GT fans and I guess Sony recognises that.
 
I've been invited over the phone by Sony Computer Entertainment the Netherlands. I have to sign and send some stuff but I don't expect any troubles. :D

In the event of two racers have an equal score at the end of two races, positions will be determined first by highest number of first place finishes and secondly by lowest cumulative total time for both races.

Section 3: GRAND FINAL

The four competitors in the FINAL will compete in a single race with the winner of the race being named the winner of the New Zealand National Final and progressing to the GT Academy Week at Silverstone.

No track info, only A - F. Six tracks. Not hard to imagine that those 6 tracks could be from GT5-P. I'll find out in about 3 1/2 hours.
