Sony and Nissan released the Last Call Trailer from the GT Academy. Time Races open until tomorrow.
VVV: "GT Academy 2011 winner Jann Mardenborough has been signed onto Red Bull Racing's intensive driver training programme, bringing the gamer-cum-racer one step closer to his ambitions of becoming a fully-fledged Formula One driver."
The spoiler popped up automatically when the speedometer of the new Audi RS7 Sportback moved past 130 kilometers an hour on Charles Bridge in central Prague, creating just enough downforce to ensure the tires gripped the road around the next turn.
I'll admit that there have been some "OP" cars in GT or something that made me want them in real life. However at the same time there are other cars that suck more than real life that make you not want them. Or good cars with crappy specs (such as american sports cars not being able to turn at all.....)
Racing games like GranTurismo, Forza and others is definitely a great way for auto manufacturers to show car buyers/gamers what their cars would look and roughly handle in real life.
That is why when there is a motorshow held anywhere across the globe, usually you'll see a racing simulator stand in there. It's a great way to gauge for both the public/automakers reactions and insights.
You can say it's one of the best formats to advertise their vehicles to the public.
Has anyone driven the Red Bull X2011 Prototype? That thing is insane! I was lapping Zondas in it earlier. It's incredibly difficult to control with a steering wheel though, unless you're on the high speed ring.

"TGL recently caught up with Lucas to talk about the GT Academy and the incredible career that his participation in the Academy has carved out for him."
Just received my free DLC from Sony for participating in GT Academy. I hope they renew the competition again this year as it was seriously intense competition unlike anything in a shooter or other game type.
Can't wait to see them go at it for real, the last season (which is free on GTTV in GT5 if you didn't know) was really entertaining.
...and now the last winner has qualified for the real Le Mans 24hr...
That's a lot of expectations for these guys to live up to.
the GT academy is surely one of the fierciest and harshest competition for gamers ..but the winners has such a great opportunity ...
i hope the next competition will be as intense as this one
