PGR3 global tournament

Finalists race in Lambo factory.

Microsoft's announced a PGR3 global tournament to take place over the next two months on Xbox 360 - culminating in a showdown for the world's top racers at the Lamborghini factory in Italy in June.

Details of the competition, which is open to registration worldwide until April 28, can be found on the official website - just click on a continent and then your country for regional information.

An automatic update will be made available soon to get you prepped for the tournament - and if you don't fancy it you can always just watch on Gotham TV.

From April 17, regional qualifiers will take place, ending on April 30. Then in May, a semi-final round of 64 between the 4th and 7th will cut us down to the final list - some of whom will be transported to Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy to race around the Lambo factory.

Other prizes include some of those oh-so-sexy limited edition black PGR 100 Xbox 360 consoles, racing gloves, t-shirts and more. Check the website for more details, and if you ram me into the first corner you're effing dead okay?
