'Wild Card' competition to be held at Nissan Innovation Station at The O2
Nissan and Sony Computer Entertainment UK (SCE UK) are offering an additional chance to join gamers in the National Finals of the 2011 GT Academy, an innovative competition in which PlayStation®3 (PS3™) users battle in an online time trial to win the ultimate gamer's prize – a race seat in Nissan's muscular 370Z for the Dubai 24 Hours.
Anyone with access to a PS3 with online capability and a copy of Gran Turismo®5 can take part in the GT Academy, but the 'Wild Card' slot offered by Nissan and SCE UK provides an additional route to the National Finals, to be held in May.
The 'Wild Card' contest will be hosted at the Nissan Innovation Station at The O2, between 10am and 8pm on either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd April . More information about the contest is available via www.nissangtawildcard.co.uk.
Each entrant's quickest lap of three will be recorded, with the best drivers from each of the three days winning a Logitech Driving Force GT™ steering wheel, the official wheel of Gran Turismo, which features force feedback and 900-degree wheel rotation. The best time overall across the three days will win the extra place at the National Finals.
Two UK National Final victors will advance to the International Finals, to be held at Silverstone in June, when competitors will take to the track in Nissan's 3.7-litre, 323bhp 370Z models.
