Make.Believe You Can Be a Real Race Car Driver
Dear Sony - Why isn't this ad on TV? Awesome clip - way better than what Sony's pushing out right now.
If you are not sure who Lucas Ordonez is: Back in 2008, Nissan and Sony held a competition across Europe to create a race car driver out of video gamers called the "GT Academy." The task? Beat 25,000 other gamers to the fastest lap in GT5 Prologue for the PS3. Twenty-two gamers had the fastest laps and were then given physical, mental, and driving challenges. The winner of these trials was Lucas Ordonez. He did pretty good in his debut at the Dubai 24hr 2009 by finishing 45th and 9th in class. He then went on to take 2nd place in his 2009 campaign in the Euro GT4 Championship. Impressive.
Hotwheels… the interactive youtube video
I came across this when I was surfing through youtube. Hotwheels came up with an interactive video where you can choose what car and what mods you need in order to win on a variety of courses. Check it out, it's pretty fun! Choose wisely!

GT5 + NASCAR = zOMG! Want Now!
So, another trailer dropped for Gran Turismo 5 and this time it features the newest race series to the GT franchise: NASCAR. Are you excited for some left-turn racing? I am…unless I’m stuck simulating a 500 lap series just to get a license to move to the next level. Then I wouldn’t be happy - just dizzy from all that turning. Regardless though, this game needs to come out now…Dirt2 and NFS:Shift can only hold me over for so long.
