“This is a very exciting day for Gran Turismo. The Gran Turismo story started 10 years ago with the ambition to make a racing game that gives players the ultimate driving simulation experience. The GT Academy is the ultimate realisation of this ambition taking the Gran Turismo experience to the next level,†said Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo series creator.
Too bad we aren’t in Europe. I could really use a racing license.
