Big News: Indy Racing League cars & tracks in GT5

Digital-Nitrate · 12:51 PM

I was traveling home yesterday and was browsing the news stand in the airport waiting for our flight and noticed in big bold red letters "GRAN TURISMO 5" on the cover of a magazine on one of the racks. The magazine is called PlayStation The Official Magazine, and featured a 10-page article on GT5 as well as a tear out folded up poster of the game's cover.

As I browsed through the article, several things caught my eye, but perhaps no more so than the following quote:

PTOM February 2010 Issue

For the first time ever in the series, both NASCAR and -as exclusively revealed to PTOM- Indy (IRL) cars and tracks will be included in Gran Turismo 5.

I figured there would already be an in-depth discussion about this here, but after browsing and searching this forum I was unable to find any mention of this news.

If this has already been brought up, feel free to ignore this.

BTW: Happy New Year GTPers!

Edit Update: Pics & links to 3648x2736 originals

PS: Seeing as I bought it I figured I would browse through the magazine and I must say they clearly have a witty editorial staff. Here is one of the responses from the "Letters" section:

EXCLUSIVE
Is there any news on the PlayStation 4 development?
- Andrew Gaither, via email
No. But we've been playing the PS8 and it's awesome!

3648x2736

BTW: For those curious, I bought my copy from the Hudson News shop just past Gate 14 in Terminal E at the Houston International Airport in Texas.

Awesome, going not only 210 (NASCAR), but also 245 in a circle!

Just fooling. I would love to take some of the Indy cars around the city tracks. Seattle jumps anyone?

Edit: Wait, this is OPM? I thought that wasn't out until the 16th or something.
