This is it! There’s just a few days left in the final round of GT Academy 2015, and it’s proving to be one of the most challenging in the program’s history, as players wrangle the Nissan GT-R LM around a Circuit de la Sarthe invaded by cones.
As always, GTPlanet’s community is here to help one another, and our GT Academy forums are bustling with competitors trying to figure out how to lower those lap times. If you’re struggling, here’s two great resources to help you shave off at least a few tenths:
First is a detailed, turn-by-turn write-up by outlaw4rc that offers a nice overview of where you should be placing the car on the track, braking zones, and racing line. If you’re more of a visual learner, be sure to check out this excellent lap guide by Tidgney. A former GT Academy finalist himself, Tidgney has made quite a name for himself, putting together these helpful videos each year which show you how to get the most out of the car.
If you need more help, visit our GT Academy forum and ask anything you like – there will certainly be someone there to help you out, and maybe you can do the same for them. Best of luck to all GTPlanet members in these final days; stay focused and keep pushing!

I got gold and in the top 800… WITH A CONTROLLER. Does this make me the next Ayrton Senna or are a lot of people just really really slow?
Shame Nissan didn’t use this information themselves they might not have been out qualified by an LMP2 spec car at Le Mans :P
Circuit de la Sarthe is this years GT Academy track?! Ouch! that’s a really hard track to be consistently competitive on…
@dylanlikes88 wow, what an answer! And I say that it didn’t achieve that speed on that track, this weekend.
So?
216 MPH with a Nissan GT-R LM? Really? There is something wrong with this game…
Well, Nissan has actually achieved that top speed…
On that part of the track, in Real Life? Where can I see that?
At Circuit de la Sarthe this weekend in the 24 Hours of Le Mans!
I pretty much live by @Tidgney guides every year. On a side note whatever happened to oink? He still around somewhere?
He’s still in university, isn’t he? Maybe it got a bit busy or a bit too tiring. Keeping on task during the editing process would certainly be a mission for me during those times…
I agree, they are well done.
