PlayStation and Nissan Unveil GT Academy That Blends Virtual With Real Life Racing


It took us a while to figure out what exactly the GT Academy is all about but we finally managed to make ends meet. Basically, Nissan has joined forces with the PlayStation folks to create an eight-month long pan-European competition that merges virtual and real-life racing.

To earn a place in GT Academy, candidates enter an online Gran Turismo 5 Prologue tournament hosted on PlayStation Network. The two finalists of the competition will win a four-month training program to earn their racing licences, followed by a real-life race driving a Nissan 350Z as part of the Nissan team at the 24H endurance race in Dubai in January 2009. The GT Academy will go live at the end of May and to enter, you must register, via your PS3s on the Playstation Network (PSN).
