Information on the second European GT Academy wildcard event is now available!
The O2 Arena in London is the location where several gamers will win the chance to reach the UK National Finals. The GT Academy Wild Card challenge, which will be played out in Gran Turismo 5, will take place on Friday 22nd, Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th June. The three best virtual drivers from each day will secure their place at the UK GT Academy National Final.
The Wild Card competition will be hosted each day between 12.00 noon and 20.00 hrs. Players can pre-register by emailing support@nmgb-events.co.uk with the date and time they would like to secure a Wild Card slot, with the pre-registration closing at 12.00 noon on Friday 22 June. Alternatively, entrants can simply turn up to the location within The London Piazza at The O2, opposite the Sony Consumer Electronics entertainment experience and the Nissan Innovation Station – a free exhibition that challenges visitors to think about the future of driving.
Good luck to all GTPlanet attendees!
