oh wow...i didnt know that I thought it was just the sign ups

EDIT: LOL I guess it just opened today.

That's why I was asking. :)

What are the tracks for the first round?

I'm barely updating but the website says:

"Round 1 consists of three time trial events designed to test your driving skills and mastery of the tracks, using Nissan vehicles. "

How many tracks is it showing for you?

Tsukuba Circuit -- Nissan Fairlady Z (Z34) ‘08
Rome (Reverse) -- Nissan Skyline Coupe 370GT SP ‘07
Cape Ring -- Nissan 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy Version)




i love the 370z but without skid recovery and then ASM if it was that touchy in real life id pour gas on it and burn it to the ground...

seriously i played Tsukuba for 2 hours trying to find the right settings

ASM ON.. forget it you can even compete for time at all

finally i came up with

ASM off
TSC 1
ABS 4
AUTO
COCKPIT VIEW

LOL I can't compete with you anyway MC. I saw the times that you were posting in the GTR forum for the contest and I was nowhere near that. No way I can compete with thousands of people in GT Academy.

the best time on that track so far is a damn 1:05... i cant see how they are doing that.. i busted my *** for a high 1:07.xx i got to where i was shaving just hundreths off

How are you earning money? It's not giving me anything when I finish the race

those you dont get money... go to the Aspec Bonus events.. its the 2nd slide in the seasonal events area...

there are 5 of them... you start 12th and have to get to 1st in 5 laps with each car... its pretty hard... i got silver on 4 of them and got gold on the 4th one with the challenger R/T

ohhh gotcha thnx

Skip ahead to the GTR bonus event for easy cash.

The fiat bonus event is hard LOL...I can get silver consistently but 1st is about 12 seconds away even when i finish 2nd.

hint: race transmission dialed in so it bounces off red once or twice near end of long straight... also, there are a few corners you can enter with a lot more speed than you initially think, including the one after start finish straight

Question: can you not change settings like ABS in-game for these GTA events? I assume it's to make it fair for everyone, but maybe it's just me. They are grayed out.

I almost won the Fiat event. I finished within a second of the leader. My lap time are between 1:19s and 1:21s with the first lap usually a 1:22s lap. I'll win this event eventually!

Thanks, MC! Exactly what I was wanting. :)

If everyone can adjust them wouldn't it be fair for everyone?
