The Civil Engineer, who finished in fourth place in the overall competition, won his place at the GT Academy Race Camp against hundreds of thousands of Gran Turismo(r) gamers that entered the compe- tition across Australia, India, Mexico, the Middle East and Thailand. Having won through Middle East National Finals, he arrived at Silverstone as one of five to repre- sent the Middle East, alongside 27 International competitors overall, represent- ing six countries split into five territory groups. Over the course of six days, the competi- tors were put through their paces both on and off track. They enjoyed some of the best racing instruction and mentoring in the world in a range of Nissan cars, including the mighty GT-R, the 370Z Nismo and 370Z race cars. Each group formed a close bond with their territory judge, who acted as a mentor, but then had to make the difficult decisions when it came to eliminations from the competition. “For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a racing driver, this was why I spent so much time playing Gran Turismo. The Nissan PlayStation GT Academy Challenge has made this dream come true,” said Ahmed Khaled. “The Race Camp at Silverstone was a really tough competition, testing physical and mental capabilities and honing our skills as an actual racing driver. With no professional motorsport experi- ence, I channeled my passions for racing which pushed me to do what I never thought possible. I want to thank all the organizers for developing this program and particularly Nissan and Sony PlayStation for the life changing opportunity.” As well as the circuit driving and assess- ment, the competitors were judged on a series of challenges that included the Mud Mayhem assault course, Nissan Micra Stock Car racing, the Traffic Challenge in the Nissan GT-R, the Dirt Track Time Trial in the Nissan Juke, the head-to-head Gymkhana, Buggy Racing, and a head-to-head Dogfight pursuit race in Nissan 370Zs. Each challenge was accompanied and assessed by their judges that included ex-F1 test driver Dani Clos, V8 Supercar legend Rick Kelly, ex-F1 racer Karun Chandhok, Rally Driver and Drift King Abdo Feghali and renowned Thai Formula racer Tor Graves. Gradual eliminations led to the challenge finale, and the penultimate day of Buggy and Dogfight challenges formed the deci- sion from each judge on which of their two best drivers would take the wheel of the 370Z race cars for an eight-lap race of Silverstone’s National circuit.

    Super-Human Performance in Gran Turismo Sport Using Deep Reinforcement Learning Florian Fuchs1;2, Yunlong Song1, Elia Kaufmann1, Davide Scaramuzza1, Peter Durr¨ 2 1Robotics and Perception Group Depts. Informatics and Neuroinformatics, University of Zurich and ETH 2Sony Europe B.V., Schlieren/Switzerland Branch Abstract: Autonomous car racing raises fundamental robotics challenges such as planning minimum-time trajectories under uncertain dynamics and controlling the car at its friction limits. In this project, we consider the task of autonomous car racing in the top-selling car racing game Gran Turismo Sport. Gran Turismo Sport is known for its detailed physics simulation of various cars and tracks. Our approach makes use of maximum-entropy deep reinforcement learning and a new reward design to train a sensorimotor policy to complete a given race track as fast as possible. We evaluate our approach in three different time trial settings with different cars and tracks. Our results show that the obtained controllers not only beat the built-in non-player character of Gran Turismo Sport, but also outperform the fastest known times in a dataset of personal best lap times of over 50,000 human drivers. Video of the race performance: https://youtu.be/Zeyv1bN9v4A 1 Introduction Autonomous driving at high speed is a challenging task that requires to generate fast and precise actions even when the vehicle is approaching its physical limits. Autonomous car racing, where the goal is to complete a given course in minimal time, features some of these difficulties of controlling a car close to its physical limitations. In recent years, competitions for real [1,2] as well as sim- ulated [3] autonomous cars showed promising results, but the demonstrated performances still lag behind what human experts achieve.

  • From Playstation to the Pros Don’T Knock Video Games
    DRIVING FROM PLAYSTATION TO THE PROS DON’T KNOCK VIDEO GAMES. THEY COULD OPEN THE DOOR TO SUCCESS IN SOME REALLY FAST COMPANY, LUMKA NOFEMELE FINDS When you’re dicing wheel to wheel with ferce rivals on legendary race circuits, you need massive reserves of skill, refexes and commitment. You also need to stay focused in the face of increasingly vocal threats to, say, donate your ice-cold supper to the dog. Tere’s no denying the fun you can have as a virtual racer in Gran Turismo, if you don’t mind the trade-of against domestic harmony. But racing in virtual reality was never really about fun for the supremely focused David Perel. Becoming a professional driver has been this 31-year-old Capetonian’s goal since he was barely old enough to grasp the controls on his PlayStation handset. Today, Perel drives for Kessel Ferrari in one of most competitive leagues in the world, the Blancpain GT Endurance Series. His story is one of drive, ambition and countless hours of gaming. And he credits his virtual success on his PlayStation with jumpstarting his real-life career. “I learnt more on a PlayStation than I did in fve years of real driving,” says Perel. Te 31-year-old has just returned from another successful run with the Kessel Ferrari team in Europe and is living proof that video games can be good for you. Real-life racing was always going to be Perel’s thing. He started out in karting and, by age 15, was competing for the western province karting championship.
