The PGR 3 tournament that started on XBOX live in April has now come down to the finals which are being held in Bologna Italy. After weeks of rounds that eliminated the rest of the competition, the 12 best PGR 3 players in the World are going to face off in an all out battle to see who is really the best of all!

The competition will take place all this week and the results will be chronicled on the PGR 3 section of XBOX.com. Right now the final 12 players are in Italy touring the countryside and preparing themselves for the upcoming competition.

While the 12 competitors are currently being friendly to each other while cavorting around Bologna Italy before the tournament, you can be sure that once the competition starts, friendship and kindness will take a back seat to competitiveness and the ruthless, racing action will begin. The start of this competition will signal the start of an all out bid to prove who is the best PGR 3 racer of all.

Here's a chance for racing fans to own the Joytech Xbox 360 Officially Licensed Nitro Racing Wheel. Pro-G, one of UK's fastest growing video game publications, is hosting a Project Gotham Racing 3 tournament on Xbox Live this June 17 to 18. The race will be administered by AlienPants, which has previously administered over 200 Xbox live tournaments.

Registered players will race against each other in a knockout-style heat on the tournament's first day. Day one winners will then proceed to battle head-to-head against each other on day two. Whoever plays his cards right in the Project Gotham Racing 3 racetracks takes home the Nitro Racing Wheel.

This month, Pro-G will also offer its readers an exclusive driving guide written by 2005 Forza Motorsport Champion Adam Plum. To be released this week, the guide will cover the best methods for attaining the fastest lap time and a comprehensive explanation of how to approach different types of corners coupled with illustrations.
