GT Academy UK Wild Card Event At O2 Arena, July 19-21

For those of us in the UK still scratching around for the four or five seconds we need to trouble the top 16 and couldn’t make Goodwood last weekend, good news! Four more wildcards are up for grabs at the O2 this weekend.

Hosted across the way from Nissan’s Innovation Station at the O2, Sony will host a three day competition from Friday 19th July through to Sunday 21st July, with the fastest four gamers granted entry to this August’s UK national finals. The top six UK gamers then gain entry to September’s infamous Silverstone Race Camp and last year one of the wild card entrants was in consideration almost right to the end.

You’ll have to be on top of your game, mind. The free GT Academy download has seen 100,000 UK entrants – from which 16 finalists will be chosen – while 23,000 people participated in the Goodwood event for the four wild cards there. Though the famous names like Emerson Fittipaldi, Marino Franchitti and Jules Bianchi snapped attempting the hill climb on GT6 pods may well not qualify.

You can pre-register for a place at the O2 – though this only gives you priority over walk-ins, rather than guaranteed seat time.

We’ll bring you news of other wild card events in other regions when we have it!

    It’s not letting me enter. When I enter my details, then click ‘Enter’, it just sends me to the top of the page and doesn’t submit my form. :-/
