Let’s not talk about the seemingly countless delays of the fifth installment of the famed driving simulator Gran Turismo->ke3689 because it is sure just to irritate the crap out of us. Instead, we would like to look forward (again) to the release during the next coming months. Of course, the wait will be made a lot easier for UK gamers as they have an opportunity that is sure to quench their appetite - momentarily at least. T3 Magazine and GT5 have teamed up in a collaboration that will see hardcore GT fans treated as VIPs for a night, complete with the opportunity to play the new game in all its glory.

Of course all the best bits will be present; racing bucket seats equipped with steering wheels and gear levers, full HD sound and pictures, as well as the new 3D format, which should be quite interesting to say the least. As is the norm with gatherings of this nature, there will be a host of prizes up for grabs to the fastest driver, with the first 100 people to arrive receiving free goodie bags. All you need do is quote “T3 VIP night” and it’s all yours – pretty easy huh? Those attending will also be privy to exclusive tech demos, and preview the all new T3 iPad app.

To be a part of this momentous occasion, all you need do is email t3@futurenet.com with the subject line 'Selfridges VIP' to get your name added to the list, but you better do it quick because the event takes place this Thursday, October 21st. Best of all its TOTALLY FREE! This is only open for guests in the UK. Lucky bastards.

Of course, for those of us that do not live in the UK, we can take comfort in knowing that the game is at least in a stage that allows for it to be played. Maybe we'll get to sink our teeth into GT5 sooner than we think!
