PlayStation GT Academy winners deemed “TOO FAST” for British GT
Words by Christopher Kho
Well that's disappointing. All four 2013 winners of Playstation's GT Academy have been denied entry into this year's British GT Championship on the grounds that they're “too fast” in a sport where going fast is the name of the game. Ironic isn't it?
You see, back in 2012, GT Academy winner Jann Mardenborough entered the British GT Championship alongside Alex Buncombe in the national Pro-Am category. As the “amateur,” Mardenborough was expected to be slower of the pair, but proved otherwise. The two pushed their Team RJN Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 that they almost won the championship.

Chevrolet is letting you drive the 2014 Corvette Stingray C7 for FREE... in GT5 (w/ video)
Words by Ferman Lao | Photos and video courtesy of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
A camouflaged prototype of the next generation Corvette C7 has been available for download since November 2012. And since then, nearly 500,000 fans of Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) have done just that so they can race this new American muscle on track before the real deal hits showrooms near the end of 2013. But now that the world has seen the Corvette Stingray C7 in all its glory at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, the powers that be at Chevrolet and Polyphony Digital Inc. (developers of the Gran Turismo franchise) worked together to deliver the closest thing anyone can get to driving the latest 'Vette.
The best part is, it's a free download, since January 15 2013, at the PlayStation Store on PlayStation 3 for anyone who owns the game.

Ending the Exodus: Gran Turismo 5
Words by Julius Yparraguirre | Photos courtesy of Sony Computer Entertainment
After five long years of waiting, it’s finally here. With a reputation of being the best driving simulator experience, Sony finally released the fifth installment of the Gran Turismo series last November 25, 2010, with an eight-month delay from its planned release schedule. But after the agonizing wait, I consider myself fortunate to have grabbed a Limited Edition copy.
Unraveling The Box
Along with the game disc, the Limited Edition came with an “Ultimate Car Guide,” which is almost as thick as a typical car user manual. It has all of its pages printed in full color on glossy paper and contains details on auto racing history and tuning approaches and a list of all the cars in the game - 1,031 to be exact. You also get an access code for the PSN network to download exclusive content.
