Sony Computer Entertainment Australia have today announced that fans of the Gran Turismo franchise in their supported regions can now pit their skills as part of the 2014 Nissan PlayStation GT Academy which is now entering the qualifying rounds. Anyone in a participating country with Gran Turismo 6 and a PlayStation 3 will be able to enter the free qualifying rounds within the game’s automatic online update. Racing driver hopefuls can also get involved via a series of live events.

The successful PlayStation gamers from Australia, India, Mexico, Middle East and Thailand will win a place at a National Final event held in their country. From there, the leading competitors will qualify for the International Race Camp at the world-famous Silverstone Circuit, an established week-long bootcamp where the finalists will be put through their paces on and off the track, to unearth this year’s GT Academy champion. The overall International winner will then receive three months’ intensive of training to prepare them for taking to the track with Nissan at the Dubai 24 Hour race in January 2015. In Dubai they’ll go wheel-to-wheel with experienced racing drivers and have the chance to prove themselves worthy of becoming a NISMO Athlete, one of the elite racing drivers competing for Nissan under the banner of its motor sport arm, NISMO.

I am very happy that qualifying has now begun for a sixth season of GT Academy, kick starting our world-wide search to unearth another gamer with the talent to become a real life racer. Every GT6 gamer will have the chance to develop their skills in a series of stunning Nissan NISMO vehicles and compare lap times with their friends while competing for a coveted spot at the next stage of the competition.
