Good news for the Americans out there, Polyphony Digital has confirmed that the second installation of GT Academy will be coming to the United States.
For those of you who aren't familiar with it, GT Academy is a GT TV series where the best players in the game get a chance to compete for a shot at becoming a real racing driver. The first series was a four part show, and took place primarily on Silverstone Circuit in the UK, starring the top contestants and a panel of racing experts and judges. Other than gaining an opportunity to race a Nissan 350Z and GT-R around the world renowned track, the prize was a shot at the big times - a real race in Dubai, alongside legendary teammates.
While there isn't too much information yet on the US version, I imagine it will be along the same lines, and that is very good news, as the original was indeed a great series. It's just a shame that Canada is not included in this as well.
Also, for all you Americans out there, please go ahead and watch the proper Top Gear. Your version simply doesn't cut it, and frankly, it's a bit of an insult to the real show. You can catch it on BBC, although I would strongly recommend picking up as many series as possible on BBC's shop, or Amazon or something. It'll be well worth your while.
Thanks, for reading, good luck to all the racers out there, and here's my personal favourites from the show, series 11, 12, and 13.
Top Gear is repeatedly constantly on British TV. There's almost a whole channel devoted to it.
ReplyDeleteThough I'm sure it gets repetitive (a lot of reruns I guess), I wish we had something like that in Canada. Most of our programs are just awful, and once you've seen quality, it's hard to go back.
