When you own a powerful car like the Nissan GT-R, knowing how to handle it might be a pretty good idea. Nissan UK is launching for its future GT-R customers an innovative ‘Race Academy’ which could see them obtain their full racing license.

The GT-R customers will participate in Race Academy events at Silverstone, or the GT-R’s spiritual home - the Nurburgring in Germany. Every GT-R customer is invited to take part in the events and get up close and personal with their new supercar before deliveries begin in March 2009.

The Race Academy offers one-on-one tuition and over 45 minutes behind the wheel, and the opportunity to learn how to drift in a Nissan 350Z.
