Sony have announced that a playable demo for Gran Turismo 5 will be available on the PSN on December 17th.

The demo will allow players to drive a Nissan 370Z sensibly (or not) around an as yet unannounced circuit.

Also, rather interestingly, two weeks after the launch of the demo, Sony will scour the leader-boards for the 20 fastest racers from each country and then invite the buggers to compete in national finals.

That’s a pretty damn good way to get people playing Gran Turismo online this holiday season…
