Gran Turismo - Nissan takes this kid from video games to real world racing @ Le Mans
Gran Turismo fans, or Nissan Racing fans in general... Pretty sure no body thought playing video games would ever get you onto the real track, competing in a real race, with Nissan's GTR Le Mans race car. Full Story here, with a sweet video and more pics: http://www.skylife4ever.com/2011/04/...-you-were.html
Basically, Nissan got together with PS3 and the makers of Gran Turismo to design a contest which has been going on for 4 years now almost, the prize? well you probably guessed by now... for the BEST player of Gran Turismo they take you outta the video games, and toss you head first into the action of a real race. Driver training in Spain @ Silverstone, and Dubai with legends from the industry as teachers, and the crowning moment? getting to compete with the pros at this years 24 hours of Le Mans...
I want to be this kid SO bad! lol

i didn't realize GT Academy was actually training you for the Le Mans. Too bad someone with a career or family or in school would never get to sign up for this.

School is what kept me from even bothering to try... I'd love to do Le Mans or F1 someday..
