During March and April, Gran Turismo partnered with Logitech to hold a special Logitech Challenge online racing event. Gran Turismo fans were invited to compete in three events spanning across 3 weeks, with the top three winners, plus five random winners, chosen each week to receive prizes from Logitech. Competition was fierce as players battled for one of the top spots on the leaderboards, with the challenge level of the event growing each week. Many entered, and an elite few came out on top.

Winners of the Week 1 Challenge, which was held on High Speed Ring, are “jpe138083” of Florida in first place, “DearbornMI” from Michigan in second place, and “n3eo” from Ohio in third place. Mastering the Eiger Nordward course for Week 2 were “z06fun” from New York in first place, “rmk700” from Utah in second place, and “GTP_PyroZona” from Arizona in third place. Week 3 moved to the technical Suzuka Circuit with Pro Physics, separating the men from the boys. Coming in first place was “msgt-sd” from Georgia, followed by “GTP_Vaxen” from California in second place, and “billyjoebobx,” also from California, in third. Note that some winners placed during multiple weeks, but due to contest rules they were only eligible for a single prize. See here for complete contest rules.

Additionally, as part of the Logitech Challenge, five random winners were selected from among all of the participants each week, and they will receive Logitech prizes as well. All random winners have not been verified yet, but so far “nitrocat” from Kansas and “MrDomBKK” from Texas have been randomly selected for Week 1. Random winners for Week 2 confirmed so far are “PDQUICK” from Michigan and “Mantis_12” from Virginia. Week 3 random winners confirmed so far are “eganta” from Oregon and “MrPippy” from California.

Winners will receive prizes provided by Logitech. The third place winner for each week will receive a Logitech Driving Force Wireless wheel and a Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse. The second place winner will receive a Logitech Driving Force Wireless wheel and Logitech Z-5 speakers. The first place winner each week will receive a Logitech Driving Force GT wheel, Logitech Audio Hub speakers, and a Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse. And the five randomly selected players from each week will receive a Logitech Driving Force GT wheel.

Sony Computer Entertainment America, Polyphony Digital Inc., and Logitech would like to congratulate all of the winners for their outstanding achievements, and thank all of the fans who participated in the Logitech Challenge event.
