If you’re into cars, video games or haven’t lived “off the grid” for the past 13 years, odds are you’ve heard of Gran Turismo. A driving simulation game exclusive to the Sony Playstation, GT pioneered digital racing and modification with its 1998 launch, and made cars like the GT-R a household name long before Nissan exported the R35 Stateside.
Gran Turismo is now in its fifth iteration. Developer Polyphony and Sony have promoted Gran Turismo at the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas by hosting the GT Awards. The ninth-annual GT Awards picks the best customized vehicle within a specific category (Truck/SUV, Asian Import, European Import, Domestic and Hot Rod) exhibited at SEMA and awards the owner a trophy and glory.
For the grand prize and ensuing glory, albeit digital, Kazunori Yamauchi, the creator of GT, will select an overall GT Award champion among the category winners. The overall winning car will go on to be modeled and made available in the game (images in this story are in-game renderings of previous champs). Think American Idol, only less jeers and a whole lot more gears.
For details or to submit your car for the competition, go to www.granturismoawards.com.
