    Just what kind of stupid tune is on this GT3? It has to be one of the worst race cars I've ever driven in the game. It certainly isn't stock, it feels like the wheels aren't pointing straight, or maybe that's down to massive levels of toe out lol.
    2nd event in a row I'm not dedicating time too.

    Its not too bad, certainly easy to slide :) I like brands, but requires so much commitment, I still haven't put together a lap Im happy with yet.

    If we are already in GT3's, you guy's think we will be in a GT500 GTR for Round 3? Would be a nice surprise if we got a 2015 SuperGT.... IF that's what we would be using..

    I honestly like the tune. It's heaps better to the understeering, downforce laden thing that the GT3 is usually. Far less tedious than the NISMO.

    Yep looks that way, LMP2 and then probably LMP1.

    My pedals died on Saturday :( Been playing up since Fuji in the rx7.. fortunately I still have my old pedals, but its so different, will take some time to adjust.

    Wheel is fine just the pedals... clubsport v2, had quite a few issues with the load cell already.. I think it might be another dead load cell :( Part of me is thinking about asking for a refund..

    But the base model fanatec pedals have been quite trusty... so I'll probably just get used to them again and stick with them for the rest of gt academy.

    PD could do an insane troll by leaving the LMP2 to the final round, and for round 3 we get Caruso's Altima V8 Supercar, though I highly doubt this will happen. If we get the LMP2 in round 3, it's almost certain we will get the LMP1 in the final round.

    From what I saw we are getting 2 LMP2s for final two rounds both are Different year Greaves motorsport versions.

    These cars where found in the code of the last update.

    Allthough it makes no sense having basically the same cars twice.

    I don't think it has to go by speed though, in 2013 the last car was the Tuned 370Z even though the GT-R was faster.

    I have no idea where all this talk about an LMP1 car has come from.

    The LMP2 will be the final round, and I'd put money on it.

    Do you think the logging in / logging out and then back in helps with the grip? I haven't found it as noticeable as in round 1.

    It going to happen to every round i guess so just keep on doing it
    You probably cant notice it because of its crazy oversteer but when you get the understeer you can see it
