I’m from Cape Town, South Africa.

I’ve tried to log in on the Playstation Network……a number of times.

Unfortunately there is no download for GT Academy.

What’s happening around the world in GT Academy is epic….and I would appreciate it if I could be a part of it all.

It sounds really awesome. Seems like I’m missing out on a pretty good deal.

Why can I not join ?

It seems rather unfair that only certain countries can enter into the competition.

I have the “BLACK EDITION”, since launch date, paid a pretty penny for it. Yet I am not able to tap into the resources “provided”.

It’s like “LOOK, BUT DON’T TOUCH”.

Will there EVER be an “EQUAL OPPORTUNITY” for US PPL from SOUTH AFRICA ?

Guys…..come on……I JUST WANNA HAVE SOME FUN.

All the best to those that have entered, and MAY THE BEST MAN / WOMAN WIN.

This was a great idea on the part of PD and SONY, I’ve enjoyed playing it thus far. Gran Turismo has come a long way since it’s debut. It really lives up to it’s alias as “The Real Driving Simulator”.

The idea of becoming a real race car driver is great and all, but the “prize” is essentially stepping away from the game altogether. I think the prize should be relative to the competition. (i.e. the “video game” Gran Turismo 5) Of course, you can relate the reward of racing competitively in real life, to Gran Turismo. However, Gran Turismo is virtual, so in essence, the prize is a translation from virtual to reality. What happened to actual gaming related rewards? I mean the prize could be, the top 5 GT Academy (in general) become a GT team (name they all agree on) and race in GT gaming tournaments.

When will Polyphony Digital hire a community manager?

GT5 was a big disappointment because they did not interact with their community during development at all and made some really poor design decisions. They then had to fix everything after release and are still fixing it. They also bit off more than they can chew because they are understaffed and did not get help from other Sony studios or outsource like the Forza devs do. With GT6 in development they are making the same mistake.

havn’t check out this yet if these updates are for Canadians, I am sure they are but what really sucks Canadians can’t compete in the GT Academy. I have always been a GT fan from the begining and since I seen this
competition I am begining to lose my interest in GT but every now and then I still play the game.
