Support RaceonOz Gran Turismo Academy Finalists

Hey guys .... Just thought i would throw this one out there to assist our mates that will be skilled enough to find themselves in Melbourne @ Nissan Motorsport for the GT academy finals. A part of there assessment is the presence that they have as individuals on social media... We may not be able to help them with tips on how to get around the track but can help them with the social media sides of things by friending them on Facebook and following them on Twitter. So at this stage it over to the few that are good enough to post in this thread their Facebook names and their twitter handles so see we can help them. I am sure at some stage we have all had assistance from these guys...i know i certainly and this is how i and we all can give back to them.... @MINT_GTR @warrior2167 @Pringles_947 @R0T0R-AU86 @Fastboysmith ... also if there is anyone else who has or is close to qualifying tag them in here

One thing we've been trending is #mintforsilverstone!
I've never had a use for twitter but I guess I may as well make one to help out the guys going to Melbourne

Thanks @VARDZ

You have nailed it on the head, Nissan will be looking to see how we engage with social media from now, right up to the competition. With all the support from our amazing community, I am confident we can get one or more of our ROOZ finalists off to silverstone this year.

You will find me under @mattsimmons08 for Twitter and Matt Simmons for Facebook Bring on nationals

Hey guys I have just made a twitter account myself, @AUSnicko9
Good luck to anyone else joining me at the live event this morning and of course the ROOZ members already in the final!!

Good luck boys, following you all on twitter, Will be sending plenty of support your way.

Get behind the 4 Rooz boys going to Silverstone. @AUSnicko9 @rebeliot @TylerABlackburn @mattsimmons08

Media is quite important, as its the way to generate income for the sport through advertising.

Also feel free to follow me as I prep for next GT academy (3rd times a charm ) My twitter is @tweetlukejones

Good luck to Matt and Elliott, we need an Aussie winner this year.

Live timing can be found here http://www.tsl-timing.com/event/153391 and could start as early as 6:00 PM AEST with their first practice session. With dry weather expected for the whole day, than we should be looking at times comparable to last year of low 1:08's. Last years data can be found here http://www.tsl-timing.com/event/143392

Interesting data. Much much closer than I'd thought. I can see why it took a hour for the judges to decide the winner!

Anyone else watching the live timing ? From what I can gather, all 10 drivers are still in in and are being given 15-20 laps to set their best laps.

it would be nice to know who's in what car

Australia is the Yellow car

what number?

And its numbered 5, still speculating but possible good signs as that was the fastest car 8.057 before the prodriver in 1B layed down a 7.0
