GT Academy starts tomorrow i think its a 8 week long competition

i hope some of you will participate so we can all keep track of how everyone is doing

i made some changes to my racing cockpit last time i posted i had the fanatec CSR but i sold it because 1 i got tired of Forza really quick and could better use the $400 so i broke back out my trusty DFGT added the granturgismo carbon paddel and face dress up kit and then added some headphones to the rig

I will def be participating in the time trials:tup:

I haven't done it in the past but I think I will give it a go this time around. :)

dude, I don't know what I am doing wrong.. but I can't seem to drift to save my life..

maybe I juts need to get back into the groove.

I never had luck with that, I just stick to races/time trials

I can't either...but I can do donuts. A lot of it has to do with how the car is set up also.

I have a sweet Z race car.. an it drifts like a boss, when... i don't want it to... lol

I can't drift either. I'll be competing though

quick question for you guys. What wheels are you using? I want to get a wheel and I know GT acedemy (if you make it to the finals) will only use the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel.

That one only has gas and brake pedals (no manual). However, it's much cheaper than say the Logitech G27 (which I really like but it's $$$). Any suggestions?

Are there any car packs coming out anytime soon?

G25/27 is a great wheel. The quality and feel far surpasses the DFGT wheel. I personally use the DFGT wheel though and have tons of fun with it. I have had it for years and beat the hell outta it weekly. Still holding up. For the price it cant be beat!!!! Best money/accessory i have bought for my ps3


On the topic of drifting, I do a lot of it and have some awesome custom tracks. Im pretty good and so is a friend of mine. Its all about the right setup and the right car. My favs are the Viper GTS and the Silvia K Dia selection.

I think one will be released after GT Acedemy

Is driving MT using the G25/g27 realistic in feel and how the car engages, because if it's not then I'm not sure if it's worth it. I did hear it's a great wheel in feel and quality though :tup:

Also, The DFGT wheel, if you select MT for a car, how does that work?

The DFGT has paddle shifter and a sequential gearbox. The 25/27 have a six speed which require propper use of the clutch or you miss the gear. You can also stall it. Only prob is the gearbox feels cheap. Needs to feel more solid. Esp cause the rest of the wheel feels so bulletproof.

GT academy is open at 8pm est tonight but its a seperate game you DL from the playstation store..
