Nissan and PlayStation announce the third GT Academy

Nissan in Europe and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) will unite to run a third installment of the popular GT Academy in 2011. The competition combines the real and virtual racing worlds, offering the winner the chance to realize the dream of becoming a certified racing driver.

The stakes are high with places at the GT Academy Race Camp to play for and a fully-supported drive in a Nissan 370Z GT4 car in the Dubai 24 Hour International race as the grand prize.

The GT Academy virtual stage will be played out on the ultra-realistic new Gran Turismo 5 game on PlayStation3 (PS3), which has sold over three million copies in Europe since launching in November 2010.
