Nothing, rounds 1-7 don't matter ZIP beyond getting gold.

PD released the rounds 1-7 in GT academy this way for their CASUAL gamer market, that GT5 has been for all the time.

Only round 8 times will matter if you actualy want to enter for the Nissan Drive..,

Re: GT Academy 2012 - Round 1 & 2 Discussion

what modes you guys using im using just amatuer for the gt academy but professinal for the actually gt5 game. i improved my times a bit but i noticed a slight difference in the modes. do you also get more bhp out your car if you keep retiring the same event for about an hour?.

 Also, when i ended up downloading their Ghost cars, and i get ahead of them, or maybe it's just their cars are level with mine (or vice versa), just as I'm about to cross the line, their ghost car jumps ahead of mine and finishes first... I Wonder WHY that is happening??, anyone else see this happening to them?

 

Another thing i have noticed happening is sometimes when i cross the line, I notice that a time is marked but then all of a sudden a second is added on it as it is stamped as my new fastest time... why does that happen?



Yesterday, I noticed some timing issues at the finishline, as well.

 

At the moment, I am not sure what is going on, so thanks for posting about this.



 

I was doing some licence tests yesterday and I think the time thing sometimes happend there as well. So it might not be a new feature.

I've definitly noticed it in GT acadamy.



 

I've been doing some more licence tests and GT Acadamy and I think I know the cause of the finishing line timing issue.

 

It seems to always occur if you cross the finish line at an angle. The clock stops when 1 part of the car crosses the line but the final time is recorded when a 2nd part crosses.

So if you cross in a straight line the two times are the same but if you cross at an angle the final time is slightly greater.

It would be a mistake to underestimate the talent of GT players. :Peace:

Practice.

 

Also, regardless of driver 'talent' you will never get faster times if you use driver aids such as TCS, it just slows you down wether you use a wheel or DS.

 

FYI, in the GT Academy Challenges all driver aids are reset to default for every event, you'll need to adjust them each time.

not really m8 i got top of my list with traction control on 5. on the first race 1-1. my time is 30.318 i think. but i improved to that time with the traction off but still got a good time with it on.
