Hello everyone we are now edging ever nearer to the closing stages of the Time Trial element of this year’s GT Academy.
With well over a million downloads of the GT Time Trial Challenge, its been clear that GT fans and newbies alike have heeded the call of what has proven to be a demanding test of driving skill and nerve.

2nd. FRANCE
3rd. AUSTRALIA
4th. SPAIN
5th. FINLAND
6th. ITALY

So, what happens at the end of the Time Trial? Read on to get the lowdown….
The Time Trial Challenge will officially end on Sunday January 24^th at 23.59 GMT.

From 06.00AM GMT Monday 25^th January, you should check gran-turismo.com and if you are in the top 30 within one of the participating countries you will be invited to enter your details onto the registration form on the site.
Entrants ranking 21-30 will be placed on standby just in case any of the top 20 can’t take part.
You will have until 23.59 Tuesday 26^thJanuary to enter your details – so make sure you don’t miss out.
