The Dutch finals of the GT Academy 2011 took place at the Auto Experience Center in Rosmalen yesterday. PS3Life was present to witness ten gamers compete for a chance to become a professional racing driver.
All competitors had to go through a series of virtual races using Gran Turismo 5, drive on a test circuit in a Nissan 370Z, and go through a couple of physical tests. At the end of the day there were two lucky winners: Thomas Arends (24) and Edwin Bos (20), who will both advance to the next round: A race camp that will take place on the Silverstone circuit in June.

Sony AI and Polyphony Digital announced the global release of Gran Turismo Sophy 2.0, an innovative AI racing agent in the Gran Turismo 7.
Between Sophy and PSVR 2, Polyphony is REALLY pushing videogames forward into a whole new era.
"Gran Turismo has to run on the PlayStation 5, and that means Sophy cannot consume all the computing resources of the machine."
Interesting - I thought at first Sophy was controlled from their server farms. Seems like they've got it running locally.
Remon: "I didn't expect Gran Turismo 7 to be the most relaxing and soothing game on Playstation VR2 . Yes, it's a high speed racing game with extremely realistic physics. But for me, next to Tetris Effect Connected, it's become the most meditative PSVR 2 experience. What's even more surprising is that Gran Turismo 7 in PSVR 2 doesn't make me sick despite its high speeds.
Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi spoke to me via video chat to discuss why the GT7 feels so enjoyable to drive and what inspired his design choices."
I was very careful not to push myself when i first popped GT7 in VR, by limiting myself to 30 min sessions. I got sick from Drive Club VR. Surprisingly, even after hours of playing on a Gr 3 race, I don’t get sick now.
Because the nature of GT games. The game and the camera is static as ever, and it very usable and a prefect way to play racing game with long sessions in VR.
Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi shares a personal message to celebrate this momentous milestone.
Wow 25 yrs just like that. Feels like only yesterday I was amazed by the first one.
Nice foto's man :)
