  • GT Academy 2009 season review

"GT Academy" is a groundbreaking experiment that utilises all of the possibilities of Gran Turismo's excellent driving training.

Players from 10 European countries test their skills in "Gran Turismo 5 Prologue," and the last two drivers remaining are granted entrance into a real 24-rour race. In the inaugural 2008 season, no fewer than 25,000 challengers entered with the hopes of becoming professional drivers.

It is a completely new way to train drivers, using driving techniques developed through Gran Turismo's simulation to attempt a real race.
