The GT Academy 2010 time trial demo releasing this week costs a piffly 219Mb to download. We know because we’re doing it now.

The purpose of the tester’s is to find winners for next year’s GT Academy.

It hits publicly on December 17. We’ll do a movie for you in a sec.

VideoGamesZone.de’s posted up 1080p screens and HD video from the imminent GT5 Academy Time Trial track. Take a look.

The track’s going to be available for download on December 17.

Truth be told, there’s not a huge amount to look at here. Unless what you want to look at is a track and a car.

GT5′s out next year.

One of the first GT Academy winners, Lucas Ordonez, has told the EU PS Blog how hard the entire experience has been for him, speaking before the release of the GT5 time trial demo to find new drivers on December 17.

“The whole thing is tough,” he said. “But for me racing cars was my dream, so it was great. Anyone taking part has to be prepared for a real 360 degree change to their life. You have to have total dedication and be prepared to make sacrifices.

“Lars, who won with me, was a great guy and he was a good driver, but I just don’t think he was focused enough and he ended up not being ready to race.”

Ordonez has now secured your race license and driven in the the 24 Hour race in Dubai.

It could be you next time. Hit the link for the rest of it.

Confusion over. The GT Academy 2010 Time Trial track releasing on December 17 is definitely GT5 code. This is your first chance to get a proper play of what will almost certainly be the biggest racing game of 2010.

“Yes, it’s GT5 code,” a PR rep just told us by email.

The taster will be a single track for the 2010 GT Academy competition.

Speculation mounted following the announcement of the demo’s release that it would simply be a new track in the Prologue engine: now you know.

So yeah. Get pumped. There’s no date on the game outside Japan as yet.
