It’s been a rough week for GT Academy USA. After corner-cutting at the Indy Road Course prompted SCEA to replace the track, most assumed the debacle was behind us. However, a few noted that on the new course, “Eifel 102A”, the grass could still be used as a runoff area without in-game penalty. This wasn’t particularly alarming to most participants, as many of top drivers used the grass to run wide at a notorious corner on Cape Ring in Round 1 (and nothing was done about that).

SCEA, however, is apparently being much more vigilant in this round, having just cleared the leader boards and replaced not one, but both tracks – check out the official announcement here.

The new Round 2 car/track combinations are the GT-R V-Spec II Nür (R34) on Madrid Reverse and the XANAVI NISMO GT-R at Rome Reverse. The round will still end at midnight, this Sunday, February 6th. Presumably, they’ve now chosen city tracks to reduce the chance of run-offs and corner cutting as much as possible.

Check out the GT Academy forum for more reactions. Thanks to Rachael for the early tip!
