Anyone watch the GT Academy on Speed Channel before? It's the competition that starts with GT5 and then the top competitors go to Silverstone for a competition racing real Nissan race cars (370z and GTR). The winner gets a spot on the Nissan team.

I just watched the 5th episode (Free on Hulu!) and take a look at the screen capture. This was at the very end of the episode:

Haha check out the sexy trailer on the left behind him. Also...check out where he is...Mid-Ohio HAHA! I wonder if that was the recent mid-ohio race where we had the last corral??

Just found this video about his experience at Mid-Ohio

 
I didn't know he was the one that wrecked the car at Mid-Ohio. Very cool video though. What an awesome experience for him.

Ya I definitely wish I knew more about the GT Academy...I definitely would have participated just for the hell of it because I own Gran Turismo 5 lol

Talk about a life changing experience!

Sean tried to do it, but it's impossible to keep up with when you have a full time job and a family
 
I've picked it up, going through all the tutorials to learn all the little tips for managing corners and braking. Some of them are really tough, I'd definitively apply for the next one
 
i'm pretty sure i'm way better at driving than video games...so i think it's silly that you have to be really good at GT in order to be even considered...

IMO real life trumps even the best simulation!
 
I feel the same way! I'll spin in a video game and be like "Well if I had felt that starting I could've acted sooner..." I think real life skill translates to video game skill better than the other way around.
 
Sign me up!

On another note my dash lights went out last night and I decided to take the car apart in the school parking lot. I was suprised the car ran without the whole gauge cluster being plugged in. I thought that since it delt with the main wiring it wouldn't run without it. So as of now I have no speedometer, fuel gauge, tach, ect... anything except for my trusty boost gauge. Looks weird while driving down the road with no instrument panels or readings in front of you.

Does anyone know the wire sequence for the 4way button in the middle of the center dash bezel. Mine hasn't worked in 3 years since my car was broken in to and they ripped the wires right out of the button/switch. If anyone could check and tell me the order and spacing I would greatly appreciate it :)
 
Retards with too much money and no driving skillz.... Still crazy to see just how hard the Veyron pulls on other relatively quick cars.
 
^^^ Street racing (on 247) + terrible music = banned, Evan. haha

Haha yes I agree the music is terrible...thank god for mute!

Also, I thought we just weren't allowed to post content of ourselves doing any kind of street racing. Didn't think someone else's YouTube video would be bad, but I can delete the post if necessary.



Wes: Ya it doesn't seem like they deserve to be driving those cars...damn rich people. The Veyron is still ridiculous
 
I kinda dig the music...

But yeah, some pretty stupid driving. I'd like to see them drive their fancy cars on a real race track at a HPDE.
