Jeez already? Gonna have to get around to updating our leader board soon.
So, predictions on the next two rounds anyone?
If its following the format up to now Im going to guess round three will feature a road going 370Z, and round 4 a road going GTR.

Haven’t had a chance to have a go yet, can anyone tell me, is it still the same two music tracks that endlessly repeat? I’m annoyed that you can’t do custom soundtracks, but I’m too lazy to turn off the music, I’m an idiot.

Go slower, focus on a clean run.3-3 and 4-5 are the only two I need to gold and I can't even finish 4-5 to even get a bronze on it. :/ It's pissing me off. Both of these cars want to slide when I'm going through the corner or pull off track when I'm taking them with a reasonable (50-80MPH) speed.
I think there is an option for User Music, go to Sound Options.
However, it will work for in-race BGM only, menu music is menu music.

The gold times are all pretty easy. Much easier than GT5's license tests.
Lots of room for mistakes, wheel spin, slides, etc.
Seks - are you playing with a controller? With the GT-R you kind of need to brake while turning in and then control the angle of the car with the throttle, not a full on drift but you need to be agressive to counter the understeer (turn off traction control if you haven´t already).
4-5, that´s the Nurb one right? Keep your foot down drifting and then passing, keep to the left of the track so when it turns slightly left it will move you out naturally to be in the right place to brake and turn for the sharper left ´kink´, then onto the final corner which is just about braking in the right place and holding the throttle until you can accelerate away.
If I go too slow I won't make the target time. I mean 4-5 I'm .007 from the cut-off time (35:500 IIRC) for Gold. LITERALLY .007 off.
The cars want to understeer a lot and the 720Z wants to lock the brakes and not turn while I'm braking. Lay off the brakes and then turn and the car wants to spin out with no TCS or ABS on.
Yes, DS. Yes all the aids besides the racing line is off.
3-3 is La Sarthe "various elevations corners" and 4-5 is Monza's infamous corner with cones on where you can generally cut to make a decent line. I keep hitting the cones or going off track braking from 5th gear automatic to 2nd gear in an attempt to reach their recommended gear change. Or I brake and go off track at 3rd gear because the 720Z wants to lock the brakes and wheels up instead of braking and turning.
ruttyboy, you should join us for our GT5 NeoGAF Racing League events. You have considerable pace.
You are too kind Sir! Although I will admit Im surprised by how well Ive been doing in this academy thing, never really had an opportunity to compete in like for like events before (I suck at tuning cars).
I did ask to be put onto the NRL friend list intending to race with you guys but two things have stopped me so far. Firstly, Im not sure my net connection would be good enough, but mostly I dont have any experience of racing with other people and Im massively paranoid that Id ruin someones race by smashing into them and Id never be allowed back...
Which one is 4-4? I forgot. Is it the S bend on Indi?
Suzuka spooner curve. I have yet to look at top time ghost though so that might change things. I like to figure it out myself until I hit my limit (which in this case is really close lol)
Btw, who is cutsmeamango, AbandonedTrolley, JimBOBmcnab and Bluforce? I don't recognize the PSN IDs. Anyone knows them as gaffers? If not I'm removing them, they're messing up the GAF leaderboard.

Meh... shit. Didn't have time to improve my times on 1 and 2 -.-
I'm even out of the top 10 on three...
you're still there, number 6.
edit: opps, you edited.
I meant on two rounds, but its actually three rounds.
I have no idea what you're talking about, but you're #7 in the first round, #6 the second round, and currently #7 overall. I haven't checked rounds 3 & 4 yet but they won't go final until the next set of rounds open, so it's not too late to improve.
1-2, 2-1, 2-4
3 rounds/stages /wtv
Hey guys, clarification needed, thanx in advance:
Are the Rounds 1-2 closed now for the NRL compo, or can we improve more? Same question for rounds 3-4 in one week and upcoming 5-6/7-8?

I for one vote to keep all the rounds open.
