Hi guys, thought I'll make a thread on this event and share my experience since I couldn't find any other. My brother applied for the tickets through GTP and wow was it worth it!

There were many great games to play at the event such as Killzone 3 in 3D, Little Big Planet 2, Tiger Woods golf with move and some others but obviously the thing that caught my attention the most was the GT5 competition. It was set up as a standard 2 lap arcade mode style race around Trial Mountain in a Nissan GT-R '07. The fastest time overall from the 3 day event wins a pair of tickets to the UEFA Champions league final plus a GT hoody lol.

Anyway, I like to think of myself of being a pretty hand racer in GT5 so I thought I'l give it my best shot to beat the current record of 3:14. My first lap went well but at the start of the second lap heading in to the first and second turn I took too much speed and almost lost it, though it lost me a few seconds I was impressed with my final time of 3:09.886 :D. I didn't get too excited because there was still 1 more day of the event and I was hoping no one from GT academy was attending lol. But today on the Playstation Access fan page on Facebook they confirmed the overall winner was me, my lap was unbeaten! :D

Really excited since I've never won a competition before and if I did want to win any this would definitely be the one! Was there anyone else from GTP who attended this event? What did you think of it? And if you set a lap what was it?

A huge shout out to GTP for bringing this event to my brothers attention! :D
 
I live in London and never heard anything about this event lol! Congrats on winning tho, which game are you gonna go see?

OP is seeing UEFA Champions league final as stated.

as of today there are still 16 teams in the competition so it's anyones guess
the smart money will go on Chelsea to win (not a fan btw)
 
Whoops, mis-read it, that's what you get for posting from a phone.

My money is (unsurprisingly) on Barcelona for the Champions League this year. The team they have at the moment is one that may well go down in history as one of the greatest ever. I'm thinking Brazil 70, Real Madrid 50's kind of legendary status.

Should be a great day out for the OP anyway, I live only 10 miles from Wembley.
 
Thanks guys. Yeah I regularly visit the site and though I don't comment much reading through some of the threads can be informative(and funny). I never knew anything about this event until my brother told me, which he claims was from here lol.

Here's the fan page if you want to know more

edit: I don't really follow football much either but the atmosphere will be great there, they should have given tickets to a Formula 1 race or something that would've made more sence lol.
 
Yeah, I guess going to F1 or something would have seemed more logical but Sony are a headline sponsor for Champions League.

Have a great time! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
