Golded all the events, didn't spend much time on it but I'll try and make some improvements later!

Driving tests with online enabled score board. Thats all this is for me.

Its nice that they enabled it for casual players that way, instead of just releasing Stage 8 on its own. 

The Leaf was a nice intro for players incase they don't own a GT game, removes, H shift gear change timing and Engine braking and makes it all about driving line. You can tell some friends were not used to doing that instantly.

Its Nice to see the Traffic cones as non drivable apexes showing up on custom tracks. 

I still have not learned how much you can drive on the grass with out the Off track kick out showing.

Ive now gone from Pad to steering wheel but the enforced driver aids on Pad allowed for lots of mistakes that im not correcting for on steering wheel. Now I keep clipping walls with the back end when I. was driving clean before. 

The AI hitting you is still a random kick out. Had the lightest touch and got kicked. then on the ring got pushed in to a drift/slide and was able to finish and set a time. lol.

Im new to this I'd really like to at least be a challenge anyone have any advice how I can rank high and is it advisable to use a normal control or an actual steering wheel?

I'm aiming for at least top 100 worldwide on all events and top 25 on the more skill based tests.... I spent 2 hours on round 1-1 tonight to get back into the top 100 lol .

If you need any help or fancy viewing this while at work check out my videos of my first night on the Academy;

I started following the 10th place ghost car, quite depressing considering I mirror what they do but they seem to pull away still lol My mission is to top my friends leaderboard now I have gold on all and then the world MUAH HA HA HA

Ok, maybe not the world but I would be happy to be in the top 5,000 at least

What's this two wheels on the grass "glitch" I am hearing about? I say glitch in apostrophes as it might not even be a glitch.

Not a glitch as such but a use of the incorrect track boundarys set by PD.  While I susbcribe to the 2 wheels on 2 wheel off racing methodology, this is downright cheeky:

Isn't there also an acceleration boost due to the remaining Rear wheel on the tarmac/brick getting more power.
