New Gran Turismo 5 Demo

Starting December 17, You will be able to download a new demo of Gran Turismo 5 through PlayStation Network. The Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge features the Nissan 370Z, both tuned and non-tuned, as well as a one track.

"It will be the first opportunity to get a hands-on taster as to what Yamauchi-san and his Polyphony team have been carefully crafting and polishing at their Tokyo base," Sony says.

U.S. players who download the demo between December 17, 2009 and January 25, 2010 are eligible for the time trial challenge, with the winner for the fastest lap time taking home a trip to the upcoming Indianapolis 500 this May. Take a look at the contest rules if you're interested.

Just so there's no possible confusion, Sony Europe confirmed this is indeed new content.

"This is a downloadable time trial featuring new content from GT5 not GT5 Prologue."

The GT Academy will run in the following countries:

  • Austria
  • Denmark
  • Norway
  • Finland
