Entry on the left of the final turn, the road coming from the left as you brake for 1 is the pit exit.

Yeah, just like Lexus is ... the whole nationality thing can go right out the window for all the use it is.

Motegi's never been one of my favorite tracks, but I spent a few hours racing on it in some open lobbies last night and was really enjoying it. Looks so much better than it did in GT4 and Tourist Trophy.

A new issue seems to happen around the GT Academy gift cars that means we need to be careful.

After receiving an Academy car, before you do anything else, make a new back-up copy of your progress file and keep it safe. The new problem is that, if your game freezes and you don't have a way to recover because of a broken game save, there doesn't seem to be a way to recover the lost Academy car, either.

This issue has been reported, but I may not be told a different solution, so protect your saves now.

If anyone finds a solution to the missing cars, please let me know.

Thanks for the heads up.

Seasonal TT #40 includes 350pp kei-cars at Eiger. I went there about two minutes after it opened. Ran a lap good for silver, popup said 80500th. Ran one more lap for gold, popup said 80501st. Exited, and it put me 80502nd.

I wondered how eighty thousand people ran it so quickly.

GT Academy round 7 times hadn't been cleared out of PDs server. You can tell because of the GT-R Black '12, somewhat obviously not a kei-car, fills up the overall ranking and your friendslist ranking.

Online dealer full of Citroens and Fiats. Get 'em ~~while they're hot~~ before they rust into nothing.

I was told it was a light weight composite, not rust.

**clacksman** Thu Jul 19, 2012 10:55 am

It's a lightweight composite of what used to be metal. Or, automatic weight rustduction.

**Forgetful** Thu Jul 19, 2012 11:06 am

There was a Lancia Beta in there too. You missed it. It dissolved.

Technically I think Rust is a kind of composite.. Iron and an Oxygen molecule... study

New GT Academy Prize car: 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy) 2008

Data entered into GTData.

Is absolutely identical (except I guess for colour and the details on the sticker) to the pre-existing 370Z Tuned Car (GT Academy Version) 2008, assuming that 'Version' thing is even there, since I never got one. If memory serves, that was available since the start of the game, but only if you got lucky playing prize ticket roulette.

As I have a broken-in one, as well as 0.0 miles copies in every color available in thegame, let me know if I can send any of the last GT Academy Zs to you timney. I'd be happy to send you any of them , or even a few of them if you'd like.

Thanks swerv. Seems this one is identical though, so I think I'm set.

Some rare concepts and Toyota race cars in the OUCD, if you're still collecting the set.

Already had 'em. Think I'll grab all the Mazdas in case Rack wants 'em in OUCD shape.

**timneyb** Sat Sep 15, 2012 10:47 am

Refreshed OUCD has standard version of 54 Mercedes.

I wondered (after picking up the two TVRs) if we were about to see the whole set of previously unseen Standards trickle out. The premo 300SL is one you can't change the wheels on. Hoping for Torq-thrusts. pirat

**clacksman** Sun Sep 16, 2012 6:38 pm

PSN says the OUCD '69 Camaro is a newly-appearing Standard as well.

Hmm, I thought I had a checkbox to indicate that I already owned it. I'll get to checking this out when I get to checking things out that aren't iRacing.
