Bradley Vanian · May 1, 2012

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!

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

Manuel De Samaniego · May 16, 2012

nice rig man! we have the same wheel

Gareth Fisher · May 21, 2012

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

Joseph Skidmore · May 22, 2012

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
