Comp offers chance to become real driver.
After so many years in development we’d hope that Gran Turismo 5 offers some moderately realistic racing action. However, Sony reckons its racer is so lifelike that it’s offering gamers the chance to swap the controller for a real steering wheel and go pro.
According to the PlayStation Blog, the game’s developer Polyphony Digital has teamed up with Nissan North America to launch the GT Academy competition.
From 20th December, a series of regional heats will narrow entrants down to the best 32 virtual racers. This elite group will then be whittled down to 16, who will all be invited to take part in a live national finals event in March 2011.
