  2. Kevster823

    Just got an 1.26.9 after 4 laps and got gold.

    Its an easy job to do but i got screw three times by my game kept staying at the camera angle where you start the event and not giving me my cash.

    I’m gonna take a different spin on this from all the others talking about how great they are and challenging each other on the playground…

    This round “almost” made me pull out the wheel because of the way the car handles. I’m not a DS3 guy as most of you know by now. I am also not a Brands Hatch guy by any stretch of the imagination.

    So I put in a really crappy just barely gold lap and left the track. That’s enough effort from me until maybe the final round.

      well i rly didnt hav time to use my wheel til friday, so i keep this up on friday i should hit 25 mahb even 24, aftr that i hav to use 3rd person sissy cam and skid my car thru half the track

  4. Lille B

    1. Croatian_STIG

      For the credits? And being able to say you golded every single event in GT6? Those are my reasons. :3

    2. danish GT freak

      Jeg gør det bare pengenes skyld, det er for dårligt at DK ikke er med i år syntes jeg :-/

    clearly this years gt academy follows in suit to the grand reveal of the gt-r lm at le mans this june, i dnt mind it never the less, jus wish nissan could make a lighter and lesss understeery gtr, otherwise this track is hella tricky, rythm is super key here, after 30 minutes of a brisk practice run before i leave for school, i gt a 1:26.134 which nearly puts me within the top 1000 so far, i have alot to improve on, but one thing, my driving style does NOT reflect the top time posters, theirs is highly unorthodox if u ask me nd would get their pit crew chief yellin down their headsets, but otherwise im good

    1. UnkaD

      Unorthodox. You mean how they slide into every corner and exit with the outside rear tire always spinning. That crap always bugs me. I’ve gotten the best time that I can with my style. I’ll never win GT Academy.

    Game won’t even let me enter round 2.. set a 1:07 in round one but it’s saying that I have to get bronze or better to enter. I got 4 seconds quicker than gold and got the gold.. WTF?? this flat out sucks dbs.

    1. V8GTdriver

      This happened to someone else. They got gold round 1 again and round 2 opened up. See if that works.

    1. CoachMK21

      I too was hoping we’d get a 370z NISMO, but after seeing the reports here, I knew we wouldn’t.

  7. Ryan Sandall

    So super car 1st round, gt3 second round, we know an lmp2 car is coming gt academy, and round 4 gtr lmp1 anyone?

  8. WTFnews

    Allready set a 1:27.08x, its kinda oversteery but not to hard to handel, just keep the speed up in the corners and you’ll reach it haha

      @ska8er913

      You should try it in real life, paddock hill bend is really scary. my instructor was doing a lap at what he called “touring car pace”. Going sideways round paddock in reality is F***ing terrifying.. But so damn cool at the same time. Can’t wait to try this!!!!!
