GT Academy returns for a third season

For a third year Nissan and Sony are joining forces to run the GT Academy. If you're not familiar with it the premise is simple: become really good at Gran Turismo 5, beat (almost literally) the rest of the world and become a real racing driver.

From March 4th - April 17th players from 10 European countries will be able to compete in stages online for one of 20 places in their territory's live final. From there, two will earn places at an intensive 'race camp' at the Silverstone race circuit.
