CEBU CITY (June 1, 2015) — Nissan will bring the GT Academy to Cebu.
The driver discovery and development program will start on June 11 at SM City Cebu and will conclude by Monday, June 15.
Using the popular and critically acclaimed Gran Tourismo (GT) series of racing video games on PlayStation®3, Nissan seeks for potential racers who will undergo an intensive Driver Development Program and be given the opportunity to participate in the Dubai 24 Hours race by January 2016.
Since Nissan and Sony held the first GT Academy in 2008, the program has been defying both common sense and motorsports tradition. The academy has taken people who are good at video games and, in a matter of months, helped turn them into professional drivers for Nissan.
The Cebu leg of the competitive search is organized by Nissan Cebu Distributors, Inc., the only local authorized dealer of sedans as Nissan Almera, Nissan Sylphy and Nissan Altima, compact SUV Nissan Xtrail, pick-up Nissan Navara, van Nissan Urvan and SUV Nissan Patrol.
