THE last round of the Gran Turismo 6 online qualifier is now live and will decide the final leaderboards in each participating country.
Only two weeks remain for racing driver hopefuls across Europe to enter the NISMO PlayStation GT Academy competition.
PlayStation gamers are competing for a chance to become a real NISMO racing driver by battling it out to post the fastest times in a virtual Nissan GT-R GT3 car on a stunningly accurate re-creation of the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
With the first phase of the competition closing on June 16, the eligible competitors with the fastest times will be invited to participate in the GT Academy National Finals alongside winners from live events and the new GT Academy Challenge 2014 on Facebook.
They will compete for the chance to represent their country at the famous GT Academy Race Camp at Silverstone.
This year, qualifying on Gran Turismo 6 was split into four rounds, with the earlier rounds giving gamers the chance to improve their racing skills before the final qualifier. The leaderboards are available to view here, showing times for Round 4 split by country so that players can see how they rank and what they have to do to make the final cut.
The competition remains open until 7.59am BST on Monday 16 June, so there is still time for aspiring racing drivers to take part through the Special Events section within Gran Turismo 6.
The stakes are high, as the overall winner will be put through Nissan’s highly-acclaimed Driver Development Programme that has already achieved great success. Four GT Academy graduates will be racing for Nissan in the famous Le Mans 24 Hours race this month!
Anyone with a Sony Entertainment Network account and access to a PlayStation 3 and the Gran Turismo 6 game can take part. The GT Academy competition is open to competitors over 18 years of age (other terms and conditions apply, see http://www.gran-turismo.com/ for details).
For those without a PS3TM, entry is possible via local live events or the GT Academy Challenge 2014 on Facebook. Top scorers on the fun Facebook game will win a chance to attend a Gran Turismo 6 live qualifying event on the eve of the national finals.
