A joint project with Nissan and Sony Playstation was created a long time ago through the fifth edition of a racing simulator called Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo 5 started off as one of the most realistic racing simulators ever made for a console and has now become an interesting way of recruiting potential racing prodigies.
The US version of the competition has already gone through its qualifiers (in-game) for the year and we’re up to the top 16 finalists, ready for real racing bootcamp taking place at the Silverstone circuit in the UK. Some of the drivers from the 2011 UK GT Academy have already participated in multiple international class racing events; the following video follows Jann Mardenborough (2011 GT Academy Champion) and his team (also GT Academy players) at Spa Francorchamps.
