“In GT Academy regions, once you’ve cleared the earlier rounds you will then have your shot to post your time to the leaderboard and see if you have got what it takes to progress to the next stage.
“Regardless of whether you are in one of the GT Academy eligible countries or not, once you have proved your skills and made the grade through the initial rounds you will unlock special bonus content.”
The demo will remain available until August 31. If you’re in one of the GT Academy regions (see here, the demo couuld be your chance to race for real with Nissan. To be eligible, you’ll need to download the demo before July 28 at 11:59 p.m. BST.
