Chevrolet and PlayStation have announced a special competition in Los Angeles to celebrate the debut of the company’s new Vision Gran Turismo project car at the LA Auto Show next week.
The time trial competition will take place Tuesday, November 18th @ 7:00pm at Dave & Buster’s Restaurant in Hollywood, where 75 pre-registered participants will set hot laps in Gran Turismo 6.
Chevrolet vehicle designers and Kazunori Yamauchi himself will be on-hand to watch, and the three fastest drivers will be invited as special guests to the Vision GT launch event at the LA Auto Show the following day (Wednesday, November 19th).
The competition is open to eligible members of the public from the Los Angeles area who are over 21 years of age. Note that you must pre-register for the event using this form to participate, so read over the official rules and send in your application. Spaces at the competition are limited, so don’t hesitate and register quickly if you plan to attend.
Good luck to all GTPlanet members competing. We’ll have more coverage from all the announcements at the LA Auto Show next week; stay tuned!
We ran the zo6 @ nurburg gpd
What car/track did you guys run at?
Yeah buddy I took 1st place
Nice work! waited to be the last one hmm? lmao i have pics.
Hope we get to see the Chapparral 2D and 2J as Premiums to go with the 2X.
This pretty much confirms that there’s going to be an update next week. Or not.
This pretty much confirms that any kind of speculation about an update can be made just like in any news thread. TBH I don’t think there’ll be during next week, though.
When they release one is a matter of setting a sign in our face with a big “soon ™” written on it until they only reveal the updates’ detail that they want to. They often have something hidden which requires a thread that talks about it so that everyone can be in the know, and that grinds my gear…box.
I forbid an argument war from starting… Got my opinion and points of view. Mmk, peeps?
I’ll be going! Super excited :)
Are you allowed to ask Kaz questions there or security will get rid of you? LOL
youll probably be shot on site
I wouldn’t be impressed if when someone ask him a question, he’d start talking in Kaz-anese. I like the guy but… He doesn’t interact enough with the fanbase and he’s often way too vague.
I get that he may be trying to avoid haters but there’s no such things as not being hated by anyone when said person has a worldwide gaming audience. (Whatever, I’m talking in general.)
I just registered. Hope to see some of you guys there, and good luck! (I’ll probably need it the most haha)
=)
I like this kind of promotion for GT6 and VGT (though I still dislike the glorified standards without interiors it turned out)…
The only drawback is that we are unlikely to see a new patch for the game until late november/early december and the game (and the community too) is struggling for some more love (I wish in B-spec, track maker, standing starts, and so on)…
I thought that this could be a nice way to score some tickets to the show, that I have already scheduled to go to, but I have to be 21 in order to enter!!??? I am only 15 and I feel that this is unfair. I feel that I should have the same rights as everyone else. But I don’t make the rules. Whatever.
Well, apparently our government thinks that older people are more ‘mature’. Yeah, totally. I was more behaved when I was eight years old; compared to a guy who just spent $300 on alcohol on his twenty-first birthday. I’m sixteen, and I completely agree with your statement. Society is so asfixiated towards the fact that they will believe almost anything the media protrays us teenagers as. For the most part, it can be true. But at the same time, not all of us are ‘retards’ that lack common sense and seem to have total disregard for important things that we must follow in our lives. Just because you are older than someone else doesn’t mean that you know any better than that said person.
I think it’s because Dave & Busters is an adult Chuck e Cheese and they sell alcohol, so you have to be 21 & over. Which would make sense if it was inside the joint, otherwise yeah it’s dumb.
I’m thinking about going but I have a feeling the event will be the Corvette ’14 on either Daytona Road course (okay) or Indianapolis Road course (diaf). Mastering Indy at the professional level in ~4 days doesn’t sound so fun, but it could always be on Silverstone :)
Hmmm I wonder how late the subway runs…
@MRXAE86 ive been to that Dave and Busters numerous times, there is nothing against kids going, just not at the bar area.
Different states have different minimum age restrictions for contest. This doesn’t have anything to do with the sponsors of the contest but rather the state that’s holding it.
3hundred and 85miles from LA. Sooo close. I wonder what kind of rig(s) they’re going to use. Hope it’s better than what they have at PD ;)
Eff it, haven’t played GT6 in a while. But might as well register and give it a shot. :)
C u there bro and sniper wolf
Sounds really cool. Wished I lived in LA!
@jordan I already preregistered and I just turned 28 :)
Of course, stuff like this is put on the other side of the country. Either Playstation is trolling me or Southern California is just a better place for everything.
I suggest you dont move to Australia. Nothing like that ever happens here!
You got that rite SoCal is the place to be doodle ;p
Who ever gets in, post pics! :)
Will do I plan on attending and at least taking 1st or 2nd lol :p
Keep in mind that you do need to be over the age of 21 to register, dgaf95integra.
