For those unfamiliar, the GT Academy was initiated back in 2008. It is basically a driving program from Nissan, Sony, and Polyphony Digital that weeds out Gran Turismo (the popular PlayStation game) players and trains them to apply their on-screen talents on a real car, on a real track.

As we’ve mentioned before, The race to the top is not an easy task as the academy will only choose the best virtual drivers. Once shortlisted, there will be activities to test not only skills, but also the physical endurance of the contestants at the latter part of the training. If you think you have the heart, talent, and the determination to be a professional racer then this might be your ticket in.

The first phase of the try-outs will be happening at malls nationwide starting April 10, 2015. The company is still yet to disclose the venue and time of the said event. They will be announcing it on their Facebook page so be sure to stay tuned as we wait for further details.

Watch Dogs promo: You’d wish this happens in real life

What if you could control the things in your surroundings with just an app? What if, just by a press of a button, you can turn on lights, change traffic lights, and unlock any sports car that you see on the street? This is what these people did to promote Ubisoft’s hotly-anticipated video game Watch Dogs.

The team sets up a smartphone repair shop complete with cameras to document the whole thing. The idea is to wait for people to get their faulty handsets repaired. The repair guy then takes a look at it, fixes it, and gives it back to the owner but with a special extra – an app that can control the surroundings!

The repair guy demonstrates the capabilities of this new app which impresses and at the same time confuses the owners. All is fun until what they’re doing causes chaos in the city. You just have to watch the video to appreciate it so hit Play below.

Although the whole thing is scripted (yes, even the “surprised victims” are in on it too), they clearly showed what to expect once the video game hits store shelves on May 27, 2014. This Amazing Street Hack video got us nerdy gamers all excited and wished an app like this existed in real life. Don’t you?
