DJ-of-E 11-08-2012 09:16 PM

Jeff Stuart was at auto-X last weekend @ Auto Club Speedway with the Berry Family Racing. Needless to say, he's incredibly quick and hanging times with the national champs.

Nismo89 11-08-2012 10:42 PM

on NOW :excited:

Nismo89 11-08-2012 10:52 PM

"who's that in the grass"

one of those :facepalm: moments

Footloose301 11-09-2012 07:29 AM

Watching it now. Don't care about the Frontiers here. I want to watch the 370Z and GTR. Watch the season finale be the drivers drifting in Nissans new minivan...... **cough**i meant Pathfinder **cough**

Footloose301 11-09-2012 07:33 AM

Yay! Finally at the GTR section

Nismo89 11-09-2012 09:41 AM

i thought the Truck portion was creative and worth doing for them to learn, however unless im actually in the drivers seat doing it like that, it didnt really seem to draw my interest as much as the Z and GT-R

MacLean 11-09-2012 01:17 PM

Sweet...... That was pretty awesome. Thanks for posting it. Keep posting the episodes....

ChrisSlicks 11-09-2012 02:06 PM

I need to check out the new season. Two of the drivers from the previous season race with our local club :)

FlawlessZ 11-10-2012 02:06 AM

Great so now I feel like I lack in my video game skills. What do I need to play this game?

Footloose301 11-10-2012 06:09 AM

Ps3 :(

Dustin@Z1 11-10-2012 08:52 AM

Excellent program...I just wish it didn't come on at 11:00 PM. They have definitly targeted the west coast market this season and are shooting for Prime Time over there.

Don't forget that the 2011 GT: Academy frequents this forum from time to time. I am sure he will pop in at some point.

you have to know how to play the game skillfully BUT as im sure you guys have watched, its also about fitness, being physically fit is a must to be able to handle the rigors of endurance races also.

its a combination of Mixing best of both worlds (fitness and racing)

Yeah I wouldn't call myself "not physically fit", If being a race car driver depended on it I would be at the gym every day...:happydance...

DOOMMONKEY777 11-12-2012 12:55 AM

umm.....i dont want to be a troll or anything, BUT i have played racing video games all my life from 2D nfs to the GRID [havent played the latest games in 2012 cuz i work now] most of them finished more than 3 times over and must say that DRIVING A Z IN A GAME OR IN REAL LIFE ON AN AUTOMATIC TRANNY IS JUST GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY .
I mean like SSUUUPPEEERR:superghey: its a waist of a Z or any car including R35 to drive them auto [ye i know no manual for r35 then get an r34 instead] is considered by me a TOTAL WANNABEEE. LEARN....PRACTICE.......PRACTICE SOME MORE.....AND MOORE.....AND THEN SOME MORE...LEARN NEW TRICKS....PRACTICE...PRACTICE....GET IT DOWN PERFICT PRECISE....now Domonate the competition. Enoghf said.:cool:

EazyD 11-12-2012 01:20 AM

I disagree. Mostly with the spelling.

thats why you qualified and are on the show?:icon18:

KanataZ 11-12-2012 11:36 AM

Like the show and I appreciate that they have slowly started to get away from calling this GT Academy North America since the contest is only open to US residents. No matter, this Canuck is too old to get racing contract. :icon23:

Still, fun to watch the show and see what they can do with a Z.

But it's kind of like Star Trek. As soon as you see them do a full profile of a contestant, he's as good as wearing a red shirt and surely won't survive the episode.

DOOMMONKEY777 11-12-2012 01:45 PM

i dont care
:thumbsdown:

one step at a time. Just cuz you know manual doesnt me ur racecar driver. Learning driving lines is more important in this competition. Learning manual takes like what...few hours? Take 1 week to master at most?
