Who the heck would want to waste 8 months just to drive a porky Z? The handling bit is not all that awesome on the track and it's not really a track worthy car IMO, unless heavily spec modified. If Nissan were offering track time in the GT-R, it'd be a completely different story.

I find it funny that you call it wasting 8 months. You are entering a competition where you play a game. Not working 24/7. Its a hobby for some people already. If you're really good than you can win. Then you get 4 months of racing school and an actual racing license plus enter a real race for free. I don't know about where you live, but I reckon obtaining training for a racing license isn't cheap nor is a chance to race a car that isn't your own.

Well, if you're all that serious about track days and dedicated racing, why not leave your job and join the motorsport industry? This publicity stunt is for folks who sit at home all day or are yearning to drive a Z. Besides, in the time it'll take for the winner to actually get some real world track time (about 12 months from now), someone with a decent job can earn a race license, buy a beater Z and have more fun tinkering around in the garage while keeping his/her job.

Nah racing school costs around 3k for 3 days at Skip Barber. I already have an ok car for the track, but how about PLAYING A GAME for a chance to win a FREE racing license and enter a race with a car that ISN'T mine. Whats to lose? Its not like you're giving anything up. I love cars, but I am not going to change my life drastically for them.
