Do you like to play driving video games like Playstation’s Gran Turismo? Is it really possible to take those virtual driving skills to a real world track and race competitively?
Well, it has been done and it’a about to happen again with the 5th season of GT Academy. A competition that finds the best of the best virtual racers from around the world and then puts them to the test in real race cars on a real race track.
This year’s competition will launch alongside a demo of the Gran Turismo 6 video game on Playstation 3 in July and while it may seem like an unlikely transition to go from video gamer to race car driver, previous competition winners have actually gone on to make a career from it.
More information on GT Academy can be found on the Playstation website.
