Announcing the partnership between Gran Turismo®6 and the Ayrton Senna Institute

On October 24, 2013 at the SCEA Press Conference held in São Paulo, Brazil, we have announced a long term partnership with the "Ayrton Senna Institute" non-profit organization, and the "Gran Turismo" PlayStation Video game series.

In the PlayStation exclusive game title "Gran Turismo®6" to be released on December 6, 2013, content involving Brazil's legendary racing driver Ayrton Senna will be provided through online updates, enabling players to trace the roots of Ayrton Senna's racing career.

“For us, it’s very special to have Ayrton as the main highlight of Gran Turismo®6. It represents victories that Brasil won far beyond just the sport. It's the Brazilian spirit, perseverance among challenges, and victory achieved through great effort. Ayrton also represents the creative intelligence, courage, and solidarity with friends and strangers. These are values that we Brazilians cultivate and saw represented in the figure of that champion, which added to this a meticulous technique," said Viviane Senna, the sister of the late triple champion and president of the Instituto Ayrton Senna.

Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of Gran Turismo, who presented the game at the press conference added "Ayrton Senna has always been my hero, and I'm honored to be able to work as a partner with the Ayrton Senna Institute which has carried on his legacy. If it wasn't for Ayrton Senna, I don't think the video game, Gran Turismo, would ever have been developed. Nothing makes me happier than to relay the gratitude of Ayrton Senna Foundation, to all the players of Gran Turismo®6."

About the Ayrton Senna Institute
The Ayrton Senna Institute is a non-profit organization established in 1994 by Ayrton Senna's sister Viviane, who carried on the hopes and dreams envisioned by Ayrton Senna before he passed away. The programs of the Senna Institute aim to have as many children as possible learn skills required for living successfully in today's society. And at the center of that education is the effort to raise the literacy level of the children. Since its establishment, schools supported by the Institute has spread to approximately 25% of the cities in all of Brazil, giving over 17 million children an opportunity to receive education directly, and the Institute has trained over 750,000 teachers with their educational programs. In schools supported by the Senna Institute, education is performed using curriculum and textbooks prepared by the Institute.

While i'm old enough to remember Senna.. And find it awesome.. I think its not as big in the rest of the world as the PS audience is too young..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

I watched his documentary not too long ago, and even though I don't follow racing too closely it really was an incredible life story and movie.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Amazing!

What an amazing idea. Really !

Just one thing....
I really don´t know how this could cather gamers around the world.

I´m Brazilian, and Ayrton Senna was a national hero, so I see this being a HUGE success here and in Japan too, since Senna had A LOT of fans there.
But, in other countries, like Europe and USA, I don´t think most gamers have the slighest idea of who Senna was, or how relevant his career (and death) was for the Formula 1 Championship



That's so awesome! Maybe this is what Kaz meant when when we was talking about "human drama"? Maybe we'll get other drivers as time going on too :D



Probably the best driver of all time...

To any true F1 fan, Ayrton Senna's name alone will bring back memories of one of the most legendary drivers that ever existed in any motorsport competition. May 1st 1994 was a very, very sad day. I still remember that day as if it was yesterday, since a part of me that loved F1 died that day too. It didn't help that F1 became much more sterile afterwards too.

Great move by PD and Sony.

Nice! I was hoping GT would do something involving Senna.
