I decided to take a break from doing my income taxes ndash the way I figure it I have a couple of days to get them done and a couple of days to get this to Carl to be published in Top End OK I thought Carl would give a better break than the IRS so I stopped and printed out the returns now I need to write the checks and send them in
The club has been busy even without much going on Chris De Minco has started putting together the crew for the Glen National starting with a co-chair ndash Rich Smith is going to be helping Chris out This is our first attempt to put on a double National Race and if Chris rings your doorbell calls your phone or sends you an e-mail please make every effort to help out The Division National Race Committee decided that this year is going to be the one and only year where there will be two double National races in the division and the last one for the Glen
We have a race chair for the Fun One Russell Jaslow has volunteered to chair the race and I feel very confident that he will do a good job Every year we put a lot of work into this event and Irsquom always proud of what we do and how well we do it
Okay I went back and signed the tax returns and wrote the check Thanks to Emancipation Day (a holiday I think we should be celebrating here in New York) we have until April 18 to mail in our federal tax return this year so I still have a few days I find that when you owe money there doesnrsquot seem to be a big push to file your return early
Every month we have a membership meeting at the Burgundy Basin Inn At
these meetings we discuss everything that is going on in the region What can I do to get you to take an interest in the region I understand that everybody has things to do and only so much free time but how can you sit by and assume that the club is going to continue if you donrsquot pay attention Sure you like running your Solo events during the summer your RoadRallies RallyCrosses and your races why should you care what is going on in the club as a whole I would hope that the region will keep going but how can you be sure
Speaking of Solo the season is starting this month We are putting on events at Rochester Institute of Technology and the Seneca Army Depot once again Dave Avery is putting together our annual Street Survival event Last year we moved the event to SeAD and that worked a lot better than RIT we could set every maneuver at the same time with plenty of room between each Every year that we run the event we release another group of drivers onto the road who have a better understanding of what to do in an emergency situation We need to have one coach per teen and with more time for publicity we hope to have more teens so obviously that means we are going to need more coaches
Until next monthhellipMike

Super Special Stage will be run with two cars at a time over a two-loop course Although the cars will be running for time it should prove exciting to the spectators
A RallyCross event will run Saturday prior to the final stage of the performance rally Another RallyCross event may run on Sunday

Bench RacingBecause rallyists arenrsquot familiar
with racing flags planning is needed to avoid two cars at the crossover at the same time
Mike Brunner reported that the addition of leading zeros to identify some cars caused numerous cars at Sebring to have three digit numbers This included adding one or two zeros in front of a number Therefore there could be car 1 car 01 and car 001 Low contrast numbers with narrow outlines are difficult to see at night Although transponders donrsquot care the lap tapers do The racing was close A privateer beat the factory Peugeots The entire race is available on espn3com
A short video on YouTubecom showed the start of a race in which the pace car failed to pull off of the track (httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=F63z6eGb6rEampNR=1) The front row was able to stay slow those in the back had a more serious problem

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

I decided to take a break from doing my income taxes ndash the way I figure it I have a couple of days to get them done and a couple of days to get this to Carl to be published in Top End OK I thought Carl would give a better break than the IRS so I stopped and printed out the returns now I need to write the checks and send them in
The club has been busy even without much going on Chris De Minco has started putting together the crew for the Glen National starting with a co-chair ndash Rich Smith is going to be helping Chris out This is our first attempt to put on a double National Race and if Chris rings your doorbell calls your phone or sends you an e-mail please make every effort to help out The Division National Race Committee decided that this year is going to be the one and only year where there will be two double National races in the division and the last one for the Glen
We have a race chair for the Fun One Russell Jaslow has volunteered to chair the race and I feel very confident that he will do a good job Every year we put a lot of work into this event and Irsquom always proud of what we do and how well we do it
Okay I went back and signed the tax returns and wrote the check Thanks to Emancipation Day (a holiday I think we should be celebrating here in New York) we have until April 18 to mail in our federal tax return this year so I still have a few days I find that when you owe money there doesnrsquot seem to be a big push to file your return early
Every month we have a membership meeting at the Burgundy Basin Inn At
these meetings we discuss everything that is going on in the region What can I do to get you to take an interest in the region I understand that everybody has things to do and only so much free time but how can you sit by and assume that the club is going to continue if you donrsquot pay attention Sure you like running your Solo events during the summer your RoadRallies RallyCrosses and your races why should you care what is going on in the club as a whole I would hope that the region will keep going but how can you be sure
Speaking of Solo the season is starting this month We are putting on events at Rochester Institute of Technology and the Seneca Army Depot once again Dave Avery is putting together our annual Street Survival event Last year we moved the event to SeAD and that worked a lot better than RIT we could set every maneuver at the same time with plenty of room between each Every year that we run the event we release another group of drivers onto the road who have a better understanding of what to do in an emergency situation We need to have one coach per teen and with more time for publicity we hope to have more teens so obviously that means we are going to need more coaches
Until next monthhellipMike

Bench RacingBecause rallyists arenrsquot familiar
with racing flags planning is needed to avoid two cars at the crossover at the same time
Mike Brunner reported that the addition of leading zeros to identify some cars caused numerous cars at Sebring to have three digit numbers This included adding one or two zeros in front of a number Therefore there could be car 1 car 01 and car 001 Low contrast numbers with narrow outlines are difficult to see at night Although transponders donrsquot care the lap tapers do The racing was close A privateer beat the factory Peugeots The entire race is available on espn3com
A short video on YouTubecom showed the start of a race in which the pace car failed to pull off of the track (httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=F63z6eGb6rEampNR=1) The front row was able to stay slow those in the back had a more serious problem

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

I decided to take a break from doing my income taxes ndash the way I figure it I have a couple of days to get them done and a couple of days to get this to Carl to be published in Top End OK I thought Carl would give a better break than the IRS so I stopped and printed out the returns now I need to write the checks and send them in
The club has been busy even without much going on Chris De Minco has started putting together the crew for the Glen National starting with a co-chair ndash Rich Smith is going to be helping Chris out This is our first attempt to put on a double National Race and if Chris rings your doorbell calls your phone or sends you an e-mail please make every effort to help out The Division National Race Committee decided that this year is going to be the one and only year where there will be two double National races in the division and the last one for the Glen
We have a race chair for the Fun One Russell Jaslow has volunteered to chair the race and I feel very confident that he will do a good job Every year we put a lot of work into this event and Irsquom always proud of what we do and how well we do it
Okay I went back and signed the tax returns and wrote the check Thanks to Emancipation Day (a holiday I think we should be celebrating here in New York) we have until April 18 to mail in our federal tax return this year so I still have a few days I find that when you owe money there doesnrsquot seem to be a big push to file your return early
Every month we have a membership meeting at the Burgundy Basin Inn At
these meetings we discuss everything that is going on in the region What can I do to get you to take an interest in the region I understand that everybody has things to do and only so much free time but how can you sit by and assume that the club is going to continue if you donrsquot pay attention Sure you like running your Solo events during the summer your RoadRallies RallyCrosses and your races why should you care what is going on in the club as a whole I would hope that the region will keep going but how can you be sure
Speaking of Solo the season is starting this month We are putting on events at Rochester Institute of Technology and the Seneca Army Depot once again Dave Avery is putting together our annual Street Survival event Last year we moved the event to SeAD and that worked a lot better than RIT we could set every maneuver at the same time with plenty of room between each Every year that we run the event we release another group of drivers onto the road who have a better understanding of what to do in an emergency situation We need to have one coach per teen and with more time for publicity we hope to have more teens so obviously that means we are going to need more coaches
Until next monthhellipMike

Bench RacingBecause rallyists arenrsquot familiar
with racing flags planning is needed to avoid two cars at the crossover at the same time
Mike Brunner reported that the addition of leading zeros to identify some cars caused numerous cars at Sebring to have three digit numbers This included adding one or two zeros in front of a number Therefore there could be car 1 car 01 and car 001 Low contrast numbers with narrow outlines are difficult to see at night Although transponders donrsquot care the lap tapers do The racing was close A privateer beat the factory Peugeots The entire race is available on espn3com
A short video on YouTubecom showed the start of a race in which the pace car failed to pull off of the track (httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=F63z6eGb6rEampNR=1) The front row was able to stay slow those in the back had a more serious problem

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

I decided to take a break from doing my income taxes ndash the way I figure it I have a couple of days to get them done and a couple of days to get this to Carl to be published in Top End OK I thought Carl would give a better break than the IRS so I stopped and printed out the returns now I need to write the checks and send them in
The club has been busy even without much going on Chris De Minco has started putting together the crew for the Glen National starting with a co-chair ndash Rich Smith is going to be helping Chris out This is our first attempt to put on a double National Race and if Chris rings your doorbell calls your phone or sends you an e-mail please make every effort to help out The Division National Race Committee decided that this year is going to be the one and only year where there will be two double National races in the division and the last one for the Glen
We have a race chair for the Fun One Russell Jaslow has volunteered to chair the race and I feel very confident that he will do a good job Every year we put a lot of work into this event and Irsquom always proud of what we do and how well we do it
Okay I went back and signed the tax returns and wrote the check Thanks to Emancipation Day (a holiday I think we should be celebrating here in New York) we have until April 18 to mail in our federal tax return this year so I still have a few days I find that when you owe money there doesnrsquot seem to be a big push to file your return early
Every month we have a membership meeting at the Burgundy Basin Inn At
these meetings we discuss everything that is going on in the region What can I do to get you to take an interest in the region I understand that everybody has things to do and only so much free time but how can you sit by and assume that the club is going to continue if you donrsquot pay attention Sure you like running your Solo events during the summer your RoadRallies RallyCrosses and your races why should you care what is going on in the club as a whole I would hope that the region will keep going but how can you be sure
Speaking of Solo the season is starting this month We are putting on events at Rochester Institute of Technology and the Seneca Army Depot once again Dave Avery is putting together our annual Street Survival event Last year we moved the event to SeAD and that worked a lot better than RIT we could set every maneuver at the same time with plenty of room between each Every year that we run the event we release another group of drivers onto the road who have a better understanding of what to do in an emergency situation We need to have one coach per teen and with more time for publicity we hope to have more teens so obviously that means we are going to need more coaches
Until next monthhellipMike

Super Special Stage will be run with two cars at a time over a two-loop course Although the cars will be running for time it should prove exciting to the spectators
A RallyCross event will run Saturday prior to the final stage of the performance rally Another RallyCross event may run on Sunday

Bench RacingBecause rallyists arenrsquot familiar
with racing flags planning is needed to avoid two cars at the crossover at the same time
Mike Brunner reported that the addition of leading zeros to identify some cars caused numerous cars at Sebring to have three digit numbers This included adding one or two zeros in front of a number Therefore there could be car 1 car 01 and car 001 Low contrast numbers with narrow outlines are difficult to see at night Although transponders donrsquot care the lap tapers do The racing was close A privateer beat the factory Peugeots The entire race is available on espn3com
A short video on YouTubecom showed the start of a race in which the pace car failed to pull off of the track (httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=F63z6eGb6rEampNR=1) The front row was able to stay slow those in the back had a more serious problem

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

Bench RacingBecause rallyists arenrsquot familiar
with racing flags planning is needed to avoid two cars at the crossover at the same time
Mike Brunner reported that the addition of leading zeros to identify some cars caused numerous cars at Sebring to have three digit numbers This included adding one or two zeros in front of a number Therefore there could be car 1 car 01 and car 001 Low contrast numbers with narrow outlines are difficult to see at night Although transponders donrsquot care the lap tapers do The racing was close A privateer beat the factory Peugeots The entire race is available on espn3com
A short video on YouTubecom showed the start of a race in which the pace car failed to pull off of the track (httpwwwyoutubecomwatchv=F63z6eGb6rEampNR=1) The front row was able to stay slow those in the back had a more serious problem

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

The number of cars that went off road was probably due to road and weather conditions Under dry conditions the roads would not have been a problem A number of competitors dropped to a slower speed due to conditions
The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

both safety and speed factors
The number of cars that went off road was probably due to road and weather conditions Under dry conditions the roads would not have been a problem A number of competitors dropped to a slower speed due to conditions
The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

Winter Rally SeriesThe 2011 series was reviewed for
both safety and speed factors
The number of cars that went off road was probably due to road and weather conditions Under dry conditions the roads would not have been a problem A number of competitors dropped to a slower speed due to conditions
The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices
The rallymaster instructions need to be updated Placing checkpoints in a ldquoCAS allrdquo section was a concern Checkpoint placement restrictions need to be included in the rally pre-check

by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

The number of cars that went off road was probably due to road and weather conditions Under dry conditions the roads would not have been a problem A number of competitors dropped to a slower speed due to conditions
The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

The LAST PIT Scenes for the Wellsboro Winter Rally
112011 May
by Zach Bowman Of the more than 52000 contestants
who originally entered into the United States version of GT Academy jointly hosted by Nissan and Sony just 16 have advanced to the final competition being held in Silverstone in the United Kingdom The top 32 virtual racers from the four US regions descended on Orlando Florida this week to go pixel-to-pixel for a spot among the sweet 16 But this is about more than just bragging rights Those that made it into the final round will face a battery of new challenges including physical fitness tests and evaluations behind the wheel of real-live race cars
The top winner will have a shot at becoming a professional race car driver by joining a legitimate team just like GT Academy Europe winner Lucas Ordonez As you may recall Ordonez and his team managed to finish second at the 12 Hours of Sebring with a Signatech Nissan LMP2 racer and the 25-year-old Spaniard is headed to this years 24 Hours of Le Mans for a shot at taking home the checkers at one of the worlds most grueling race events
Nissan and Sony are currently working up a reality TV show about the GT Academys US contestants While the winner will be chosen after the throwdown in Sivlerstone this summer look for the show to hit the airwaves this fall Hit the jump for the full list of final contestants [Sources Sony Nissan GTPlanet

both safety and speed factors
The number of cars that went off road was probably due to road and weather conditions Under dry conditions the roads would not have been a problem A number of competitors dropped to a slower speed due to conditions
The lower speed factor used for the 2011 series was reviewed Comments on the change in factors are requested Speed factors will be discussed again before the start of the next season
The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices

The possibility of starting the 2012 season in December is still under consideration Starting earlier will allow the season to end before the roads start to get muddy in March Events may be shorter due to the increase in gasoline prices
