RIO DE JANEIRO – Have you ever imagined having a simulator at home in the form of a cockpit racing car to play video game as if you were participating in a competition? Nissan is offering this possibility to those who want to participate in a fun dispute, the “Nissan Gran Turismo Challenge”. Between August 10th and September 6th, the Japanese brand will have simulators in five shopping centers in the city of São Paulo and the owner of the fastest lap will take home the prize.
The lawsuit, which is related to Sony’s film release “Gran Turismo: From Gamer to Racer” in the second half of August, it will be held at the shopping centers Eldorado, Taboão, Plaza Sul, Campo Limpo and Metrópoles, on different dates (see below*). In it, any speed enthusiast aged 18 or over can sign up to participate in the competition, driving a virtual car as if they were inside the car, competing in a real race. The cockpit simulators are FX1 Extreme Racing and will have LogitechG923 steering wheels distributed in the participating shopping centers to make the participants happy.
Each competitor will race on the same track and with the same car: on the famous Nürburgring track, in Germany, with a Nissan GT-R 35 NISMO. Each one will be able to do three complete laps, but only the best time will be considered for classification in the competition. The game will be Gran Turismo 7, for the Sony PlayStation 5.
The record of the best lap will be sent to the pilot’s email right after the end of the participation. The winner will be announced on Nissan’s social media and that of the brand’s partners.
The prize will be a simulator like the one in the competition, equipped with a Sony PlayStation 5.
GT Academy has fabrics
The film “Grand Turismo: From Gamer to Racer” is inspired by a true story and tells the journey of a gamer from game who ended up using his skills on the virtual tracks to become a real driver. One of the focuses of the film will be the GT Academyan initiative created by Sony in partnership with Nissan that lasted between 2008 and 2016.
