Oh the final event is at Motegi then so do we think thats going to be a new DLC track then for the main game when the GT academy is all finished?

I want Twin Ring Motegi if its in the Academy its not much to ask for it to be made available for the main game. I am not bothered about the cars its nice to have them more so for newer players to the game but they are just the same as the cars already in the game with a GT academy decals set on them and I already have almost every car in the game premium and standard.

Re: GT Academy 2012 - Round 5 & 6 Discussion

Re: Motegi, let's be fair, no-one actually knows 100% whether we will get Motegi or not so lets not get too upset until we DO know what is happening.

 

IF we are not going to get Motegi I personally think one of the fairest ways to deal with Motegi (not necessarily THE fairest but fair) would be to offer Motegi as a prize for 100% Golds through the entire Academy. Some people may not bother going for 100% Golds as they may not be interested in a certain car, remember you only need Bronzes to go to the next Round, and the most important Round is Round 8, but, also offer Motegi as DLC, that way anyone who missed the Academy because they didn't have a PS3 at the time (yes mad concept I know but there are still people that don't), it wasn't available in their area etc., also get the chance to get the track, i.e. EVERYONE, one way or the other gets the chance to get it.

 

To those not able to do the GT Academy I apologise, I'm not singling you out but bear in mind you also can't get the GT Academy Race Suit or Cars either, at least this way you WOULD be able to get the track.

 

As to the events so far, for me I am enjoying the later events more then the earlier ones, my favourites so far are the "Series of corners at dusk, low visibilty" at Tuscano in Round 5 and "Sarthe at night, Hunaudieres", admittedly the later is because it is the one I have done best at so far, namely a top 400 performance, least when I did it, was for me at least pretty good, considering my previous best in an event was about 3156.

 

Here's looking forward to Rounds 7 & 8.

 

Continued good luck all fellow participants.

Make sure that you have a registered time for _all_ challenges!

PD did not notify you that 6-5 was reset, for example, and a lot of players will be irate that they won't get all prizes. The cup may still there, but not your time.

Well, I didn't know that. What a bugger... I've never looked back at an event once gold was in the back, so I guess I will have to remedy that this weekend. We still have until the end of round 8. I just hope I can gold 6-5 again :xRolleyes:
