The 21-year-old Frenchman completed a short head-to-head test today on Silverstone\u2019s new Grand Prix circuit against friend and rival Luca Lorenzini. The pair drove five flying laps each in the 420bhp Nissan 370Z GT4 race car that Tresson will now campaign in the 2010 European GT Cup series.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement of Tresson\u2019s victory is the culmination of a process that started in December 2009 when the GT Academy time trial went live across 17 countries. Over 1.2 million people downloaded the special version of the Gran Turismo game on PlayStation\u00ae3 to enter the completion. The fastest twenty from each country then competed for their chance to attend the five-day international final, the GT Academy \u2018boot camp\u2019 at Silverstone. Jordan and Luca were chosen as the best of the 18 Academy finalists by judges Johnny Herbert, Eddie Jordan, Sabine Schmitz and Rob Barff. An intensive six-week period has seen them racing at various UK club races each weekend to qualify for an International C Race Licence. Both obtained their licences last weekend and headed to Silverstone for the test session to decide who would win the ultimate prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jordan Tresson wins PlayStation\u00ae and Nissan GT Academy 2010 \u00a7 26-year-old Frenchman will compete in the European GT Cup\u00a0 Silverstone \u2013 Wednesday 21 April, 2010 \u2013 Jordan Tresson has been announced as the winner of GT Academy 2010.
