[quote name='Digital-Nitrate']Thanks for the heads-up, I had almost forgotten about the GT deadline. When it came out I figured I would just wait until all the rounds were made available, and then I forgot about it.
Fortunately, most of the challenges are very easy to get get gold in, so it only took me about 30 minutes to get all golds except for the 5th and final challenge in the 8th round... it's killing me! I keep missing the time for Gold but just a fraction of a second... grrr!
Do you know if there is even a special prize car for getting all gold in round 8? I know the previous rounds all have prize cars, but I don't recall reading anything about a prize car for the final round. I tried to check the
official GT site, but it keeps saying its closed for maintenance.
I'm not at all interested in qualifying to be a finalist for the GT Acadamy (and would not have a chance even if I did based on the times the top drivers are posting), but if Round 8 also has a prize car for getting all gold times, then I may have to keep trying.[/QUOTE]
Wait, it took you only 30 minutes to get gold in everything! It sometimes takes me over 30 minutes just to get gold in
one challenge! :bow: I must be a terrible driver, lol. In my defense, I don't play a lot of racing games and I'm using a standard controller, not a wheel.
I'm not sure about the prize car in the last round. According to the GT Academy site "If you clear all 5 events within a round in Gold, you will receive a car that you can use within the ‘Gran Turismo 5’ game. If you clear all rounds in Bronze or better, you’ll also receive a special racing wear set that can be worn by your avatar in “Gran Turismo 5”." I'm assuming the car applies for round 8 as well. I still need to complete round 7-5 and all of round 8.
I'm thinking there won't be a Home reward this year. I remember they specifically mentioned it on the GT Academy site last year. Still, there's always a chance.
