GT5 GT Academy 2012

[Bradley Vanian]

GT Academy 2012 started a few hours and I was wondering what people think of the format, challenges and more. Maybe some of you are planning to reach your regional final ? Maybe others are trying to have some fun ?

Discuss the GT Academy 2012 here!

[Bradley Vanian]

Rui, upload the picture to a photo sharing site, such as photobucket.com then paste the Forum Code of the image into a comment here.

Those wires can't be good for the aerodynamics can they ?

i'm currently working on an aerodynamic cover to reduce drag and increase downforce, i'm thinking about asking for help to Adrian Newey

nice rig man! we have the same wheel

 

[Gareth Fisher]

Ha-ha - me thinks we need a rigs forum, would be interesting to view the racing clubs rigs as a whole!

 

[Joseph Skidmore]

Rui, your a genius. I have no table that would suit a wheel, but I never thought of an Ironing board. It works so well

@Bram Hengeveld
i'm really using the ironing board to race on playstation, i don't have any other place to put the wheel. For racing on the pc i use the desk to put the wheel

Great idea! See what people are using to pump out those serious lap times!
