The chaps over at the official European PlayStation Blog have revealed that a playable demo of Polyphony Digital’s eagerly anticipated Gran Turismo 5 will be available for download on December 17.
According to the blog, the demo will take the form of a GT Academy 2010 Time Trial download, marking your only shot at bagging yourself a place in this year’s Academy. Successfully land a place in your country’s top 20, and you’ll be invited to a national event allowing you to pit your skills against the finest GT drivers in the region.
“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,” the blog states.
Gran Turismo 5 is due out in Japan in March 2010, with a western release still to be decided. Pop over to the official EU Blog for more details on the competition if you fancy your chances.
