"The success of the Nissan PlayStation GT Academy is well documented, but I think that Australians now have an even greater appreciation for it following Nissan's win at the recent Bathurst 12 Hour. While the promotion of the GT Academy will differ somewhat to 2014, with fewer 'live event' qualifications, the cause will be furthered by the recent Bathurst win, said Nissan Australia's CEO, Richard Emery.
The Nissan Altima race car will contest the March 27-29 round of the V8 Supercars at Symmons Plains Raceway in Launceston, Tasmania.Īnother example of the GT Academy's success came after the Nissan GT-R scored its first major win at the Bathurst race track in February's 2015 Bathurst 12 Hour, which was driven by former GT Academy winners Wolfgang Reip and Florian Strauss. Qualification details for the 2015 Nissan Playstation GT Academy will be revealed in about two weeks, but Nissan Australia will officially begin promoting the 2015 comp via the V8 Supercars, with Michael Caruso's #23 GT Academy Nissan Altima V8 Supercar to bear "/GT15" across its windscreen. The fastest Aussies will then attend an international competition in Europe, with the winner landing a one-in-a-million NISMO race contract. The competition works like this: entrants post their best lap times on the Playstation 3 game, Gran Turismo 6, and the fastest gamers in Australia will join a race boot camp. Sanchez has also been signed to race GT-R NISMO GT3 in the 2015 Blancpain Endurance Series. Last year's competition saw Aussie IT support manager Josh Muggleton miss out on a lucrative international race driving contract by a cat's whisker, beaten only by Mexico’s Ricardo Sanchez, who has since raced a Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 to second in class (and fifth overall) in the 2015 Dubai 24 Hours endurance race. Nissan Australia has today confirmed the competition will yet again take place in this country, highlighting the competition's innovative method to scout up and coming race talent. The Nissan Playstation GT Academy will return to Australia in 2015, taking the country's best videogamers and turning them into battle-hardened race drivers.
