What happens at the National Final?
Participants will compete in various Time Trials on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, as well as mental and physical aptitude tests to determine their suitability for driving a racing car, and an MSA medical examination to comply with the racing license requirements of the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA).
So no multiple cars on track!
I like the sound of that!
Indeed, and there won't be any G25's to use, and no chance to spend days and weeks on the TT's to improve your time. 15 minute TT's will sort the men from the mice. 👍
Standardized controller?
Don't tell me we have to drive with sixaxis?
Seeing that the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel is the official Gran Turismo wheel, I guess they would be using it.

The spanish finals are going to be held at the Carlos Sainz Outdoor Karting, so "physical aptitude tests to determine their suitability for driving a racing car" must mean... Aptitude to drive karts
The academy page has now FAQ, where everything is told another time, for those who didn't read the agreement, or what is it called..
But basically more time trials and medical / physical tests ---> you get points for all of these and the 1-3 best candidates will be sent to UK.. (so maybe not even the fastest in tt's)
Hi All, new member here
Thanks to vicheous for actually posting the facts, can't believe it took so long for someone to actually read the FAQ's on the competition web site!
Sphinx, are your comments fact? I would be disapointed if the next stage is decided whilst using dfp's, bit of a backwards step from G25, but I full appreciate that it is the 'more' official one for GT, just interested to know if you have some insider knowledge or are just making your predictions?
Also, if you do know facts, can you tell me what the process is between now and stage two? Have people been sent confirmation of their qualification to the next round etc?
All facts welcome, I hate random guess's.
Thanks
The greatest stage!

2.1. All Qualifying Entrants will be contacted in writing by the Promoter as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Competition (it is intended that this will be about 1 week after the closing date) and invited to take part in a National Final.
I'm still of the opinion that the G25 is exploiting a hidden feature in the game that no other device can access. I don't believe that the official Gran Turismo wheel has this feature and therefore one must ask why not if it is supposed to be part of the Gran Turismo game?
