GT Academy Nissan GT-R at Dubai 24 HoursWhen you’re completely obsessed with video games, either now or as a youngster, there comes a point where someone makes a comment about how you’re wasting your time because nothing ever comes out of devoting hours to mastering a game. While there are so many ways in which this is wrong, Nissan currently has a unique opportunity and its main qualification is expertise at the game “Gran Turismo.”

If you have a PlayStation gaming system and tend to have a lead foot on the gas pedal, you could have a chance of winning a trip to Japan to meet the developers of the “Gran Turismo” game at Polyphony Digital and attend the NISMO Festival at Fuji International Speedway. To win, you need to be one of the top Nissan racers in the FIA-certified Gran Turismo Manufacturers Series Championship, part of the latest Gran Turismo game. Another game racer will earn a spot by triumphing at the Nissan GT Sport Cup eracing competition in Europe.

“The level of competition is incredibly fierce,” Nissan’s global motorsport director, Michael Carcamo said. “And we’re now seeing that online racing is not only an alternative to the real thing. To be recognized as an official FIA Manufacturers Series Champion through GT Sport is an incredible opportunity, and we’re looking forward to having some of the best gamers in the world represent Nissan.”

If you have a copy of the game, we advise that you get practicing and earn that trip to Japan. Just imagine the look on your family and friend’s faces if you get the call to come to Japan!
