I wonder if that is why they Changed the Cars around from the leaked German footage.

Less people are going to care about Not having the 370z race tuned.

Not being able to get the Race tuned GT-R 35 black would have realy sucked and would have got people in japan up on twitter .

 

The difficulty has increased but then again, I got gold on my very first drive on one of the events in round 7 but I was only trying to get round 8 unlocked to seee what it was. which is realy rare normaly I will hit a wall and get kicked as I would over drive the corners and work backwards in getting smoother.

Nah - don't give up now. If you managed to get all golds in round seven driving that sack of potatoes of a car you'll easily get the last two in round 8, eventually. Remember, you still have almost two weeks to go! :smileytongue:

Got the final Golds this morning, with just a quick whiz through to get the cars, and received the completion notices re: Official Outfit for all Bronze and the last two cars for all Gold.

 

I thought, hang on a minute? - for those that don't quite make it, there's nothing for achieving all Silvers?

 

Is this an oversight  on PD's part, with no middle ground, or did I simply not get a notification regarding Silvers because I'd surpassed that?  :smileyindifferent:

Had a lil go this afternoon. Was driving like a noob, but I managed to get all golds. I'll have a go again tomorrow to improve my times for all 8 rounds.

 

Even though im getting in the top 1000 for some of the rounds. I have no chance of getting into the top 32. Not a big fan of the Nissan 370Z. Hate it actually :smileytongue: But im not good enough anyway.

 

Good fun though. I've enjoyed this years GT Academy more than previous years :smileyhappy:

Haven't touched the wheel for rounds 7/8 yet. plenty of time yet only first day, its only a GT force Pro with 200 and 900 degree mode switch, 60/100% force feed back mode switch, stupid gear lever on the wrong side, so flappy paddels only.    

And as posted above not even sure Ill bother with round 8 for a 370z... :Shame:
