Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge demo releases on December 17, 2009
Racing fans will be able to download a Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge which features both a stock and tuned version of the new Nissan 370Z and includes two time trial events on a single track (one for each car) and also enters you into a cool contest.
Players will be able to check out the brand-new physics engine in Gran Turismo 5 by way of this demo and will provide a unique challenge for newcomers and long-time fans alike. Because each car in the demo handles differently and only those who master the cars and the track for the best combined time for both stock and tuned will have a shot at wining the grand prize.
What is that grand prize? A round trip airfare and hotel accommodations for two (winner and guest) to attend the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, a.k.a. the Indy 500, on May 30, 2010. In addition the winner and guest also get a VIP package which includes two (2) all-access passes for Carb Day – which includes the final Indy 500 practice, pit stop competition, special concert festivities, special event car rides in the 2010 Indy 500 event vehicle, as well as all-access passes to the garage, pit area, and Victory Lane for pre- and post-race celebrations for the race and two (2) VIP suite tickets to enjoy the race. This is the experience of a lifetime for true racing fans.
The contest is open to US and Canada residents, with an independent contest for each country. That means that there will actually be two grand prize winners: one for the US and one for Canada. You must be 18 or older to enter.
In addition, five runner-ups in the US and five in Canada will receive a voucher to download Gran Turismo for PSP.
You’ll have plenty of time to study Gran Turismo 5 and go for your best possible time, because the Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge will run through 5PM PST on January 25, 2010. After January 25 you won’t be able to download the game from PSN, but those who already have it will be able to continue to play it past the contest end date.
Gran Turismo 5 is scheduled for release exclusively for PS3 in March of 2010.
