North American GT Academy 2014 Top 12 Finalists Announced

gt-academy-2014-na-top12

The top 12 finalists remaining in GT Academy North America have just been announced!

They’ll be heading to Race Camp at Silverstone in the hopes of becoming a GT Academy champion, following in the footsteps of Bryan Heitkotter, Steve Doherty, and last year’s winner, Nick McMillen.

Here’s a closer look at the finalists along with their PSN names and GTPlanet profiles:

2014 is, of course, the first year Canadian residents have been eligible to enter GT Academy, and Mark Pinnell is the lone Canadian moving on to Race Camp. The final portion of the competition at Silverstone will be broadcast on Spike TV later this year.

Congratulations to all of these guys, and good luck!

To see how they got to this point, check out this replay of last week’s regional finals, which was live-streamed from Times Square in New York City.

    Got to catch up on the replay. You’ve gotten pretty good at the commentary since 2012 Jordan. Wish they’d let you stream us last year, it’s such a good event even as a spectator. Looks like just as many new faces as old faces, good luck to everyone in England.

    p.s. You guys had it easy… they put rain tires on the S15 this year. ;)

      To be slightly fair – they were intermediate tires – but certainly more polite than sport hards..

      It’s the Gran Turismo Planet News section Streeto, not the GT6 News Section. Your question is relevant, but not in this particular news item.

      I’ll do our country proud. Been striving and preparing for this opportunity for many years now, not gonna waste it. Rest assured, if I get beat, the winner will fully deserve it. Either way, I WILL be a pro racer! I go too fast to slow down now ;)
