GT Academy 2010 online Time Trial goes live
- The time for talking is over – do you have what it takes to go from Gran Turismo® gamer to real life racing driver?
- GT Academy 2010 online Time Trial from 17 December GMT to 24 January, 2010 GMT
SYDNEY, 18th December 2009: Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) today throws down the challenge to aspiring professional drivers as GT Academy 2010 goes ‘live’ in Australia. The opportunity to have a preview of the hotly anticipated Gran Turismo®5 game is already a huge incentive for gamers to enter the time trial phase of GT Academy 2010. But with the ultimate racing prize at stake – including an intensive driver training program to qualify for an international race licence and a full race season in the European GT4 Cup driving a race-spec Nissan 370Z – this is an opportunity no Gran Turismo® fan will want to miss.
Anyone from a participating country who is aged over 18, holds a full driving licence and is eligible under the terms and conditions of the competition can enter the Time Trial stage of GT Academy 2010. All you need is access to a PlayStation®3 (PS3™) connected to the internet. Download the Gran Turismo time trial from PlayStation®Store via PlayStation®Network and you’re ready to go! Lap times will be recorded on the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course driving the Gran Turismo versions of both a standard, road version of Nissan’s stunning 370Z as well as a tuned version of the same car. Combined lap times will give each player a place on their country leaderboard and participants are invited to post as many times as they like.
On a related note, at the time of distribution, an Aussie competitor has worked their way to the top of the time trial leaderboards, clocking a better time than any other drivers participating.
