GT Racing: Motor Academy HD released for iPad

Gameloft’s latest high def racer – joining Asphalt 5 and Shrek Kart on the starting grid – is GT Racing: Motor Academy HD, released for the iPad today.

It’s a super-sized edition of the pocket iPhone racer of the same name, which we gave a Silver Award to when it originally released earlier this year.

That’s not to say it isn’t packed with iPad specific features, though, with the tablet edition rocking completely remade car interiors, Gameloft’s trademark ability to resize and customise the interface, and complete control over the camera during replays.

The original racing experience features over 100 licensed cars, from the Audi R8 to the Nissan GT-R (whatever those are), culled from the showrooms of 25 manufacturers. It’s also got 14 tracks, with iconic raceways, urban streets and off-road rally tracks.

And all this content is available in a variety of modes, with a career, challenges, and online competitions, and controlled just by tilting the iPad like a steering wheel.

GT Racing: Motor Academy HD is available right now for iPad, for £5.99 / $9.99 / €7.99.
