Went to the GT-Academy National final's yesterday, didn't stand a chance
Due to problems with other finals, NL choose to use GT5P time-trail-racing instead of the new physics 4 against 4 racing.
Too bad....The racing would have been my chance, in that case I could follow and overtake when I get the chance.
I've lended a copy of GT5P last week, not nearly enough time to be the fastest in a game.
Everyone got 3 laps practice and adjusting the wheel, learn the track and 3 laps to go fast not getting a "red time", did score a point so didn't stay pointless during the day
Biggest issue I had was using the DFGT......Big step back from a G25, especially the throttle and brakes.
The organisation wasn't very well......During the day (11.30/19.00) we got 5 little snacks (bitterballen, 3cm big meat-filled-balls)
There where no chairs.....There was plenty to drink as long as it was Cola, Tonic, Water, Orange-juice, Coffee or Tea.
All in all I had a great day, finally seen some faces behind the names and got a nice GT-Academy t-shirt and cap.
Also received a goodiebag which contains.....A reviewers copy of.....LITTLEBIGPLANET and a reviewers copy (including special "paperwork" and media-disc of.....UNCHARTED2.
Games where every racer dreams about
Here are some pics my team-mate made.
The "Racing-pod"
Koop, a little nervous for the 1st run
The finalists
Fierce koop
I'll have one of those
Or this one...
As you can see there's no room for chairs
"The hard core supporters"
Presented bij SONY en Gamekings
The winner (same as last year)
I'll be back in the next Academy..!! And next week's SHIFT races
