Australia’s Mount Panorama Racing Circuit, widely known as one of the most challenging circuits in the world and home to the Bathurst 12 Hours and Bathurst 1000 races, has been officially confirmed for Gran Turismo 6.
Thanks to Lasse for the quick tip!
See more articles on Bathurst and Mount Panorama.
Day 16 on the island; I’m still finding this video quite enthralling!
Something I noticed was the lack of crazy-ass Aussie fans around the track! We can’t wait to race on it and all, but Bathurst ain’t Bathurst without the people!
Can we please have some V8 Supercars to go with the track?
Day 9 on the island; I watch this video 3 times in one sitting EVERY TIME I turn my computer on, three or four times a day…
Lol, the waiting game continues…
Anyone else notice that the helmet of the driver in the LFA shots is clipping through the roof?
No, and you know why I haven’t noticed it? Because it is not happening!! Look again! It is the angle of the sun reflecting off the driver’s helmet that makes it APPEAR to be clipping through the roof!!!
Well this looks good! Can’t wait to race on Bathhurst in GT6! :D
This Trailer is perfection, this game will be perfection, long live GT.
Day 5 on the island; Still watching this video… It’s just too good!
We’re both on the same island then… I guess I’m on the north bit because, well, ya know
Car sounds are 100% better, if that’s the in game sound?
People reckon that they are still the place holders.
I think they just dubbed real sounds over it, like in the intro to GT4
PD Employee #1: Hey its time to show off this amazing new track with a promo vid, brah!
PD Employee #2: Sweet!
PD Employee #1: So what cars should we put on this track to keep things fresh and exciting for the fans who are always keeping an eye on the trailers?
PD Employee #2: Meh lets just use the same small group of cars that we’ve been trodding out since the May reveal..
PD Employee #1: Yeah, that’ll show em!
: /
Bruuuckkk!!
Yeah, it would’ve been better if PD has introduced some new cars on the Bathurst trailer…
This is bad form. If I am a competitor (turn10, SMS, etc..) we’re all doing high-fives around the office every time a new GT6 trailer comes out.
Why so lame, PD? Come ON. Throw some salvos!
That would be like showing the ending of the movie in the trailer. Save something for people to discover. PD is right.
no, thats not what this is like. This is like several movie trailers showing the same 3 scenes over a period of months- only here the scenes are far more important in the sense of how well the movie will sell.
I, personally, don’t even care about the car list. Give me GT5’s cars, new physics, new tracks, and an Event Creator and I’m good. But when it comes to selling your “driving” game, the smart move is to show the consumers what you’ve got in the stable.
Showing us the same group of ‘new’ cars over and over, combined with Kaz backing off earlier promises and warning us not to expect some big features or “breakthroughs” to be in the game at release- is all starting to make my stomach turn. Something is wrong..
thinking about it now… I dont think these sounds will ever make it to the game.. and In a way, I hope not for all of them. At least the R18, R10, and the 908’s.. These are supposed to be diesels that were mad for efficiency. They shouldnt sound like a z06 going through corvette corner at le mans..
just for those cars at least. It really mad me quest the legitimacy of them. And then of course, about every other PD produced trailer has sounded like such. Even the spec 2.0 does..
*made
**made
***question
SIMCADE PHYSICS
No one speaks to “losers”, just saying…. Oh and good job not following GT6 because I’ve heard just the oppsite. Trolls be trollin. U_U
Yeah, what a name xD
Irk? XD
let”s race online with alpine a310 comfort hard tires boys?
Holy crap the sounds!!
I wonder if the engine sounds being heard in the video are a sample of what PD has been working on as far as engine sounds. It definitely sounds better.
I doubt it. I remember getting excited over the trailer sounds for GT4. That said I’m still looking forward to the supposed engine sound update. It’s been a long time coming…
Day 3 on the island; Still watching this video. Hoping I’m rescued before December 6th!
Apparently there were some changes around the track to improve the safety for the next week’s Bathurst 1000. Is that mean the track PD has scanned is already outdated? What’s your view on this, ScotteDawg?
I think the changes made this year will not be visually noticeable so they may not play a big part in how racing is affected in GT6!
If it were to affect the racing, PD may have already been told about it and would have already implemented these changes to the game!
And no V8 Supercars!?!? WTF!?!?!?
Early days yet! Remember, there are 200 new cars added to the game and we have seen only around 28! Ya never know what’s waiting for us when we put the game in the PS3!
Who knows. PD might surprise us during the Bathurst 1000 with inclusion of some of the V8 supercars to play in the demo.
I was trying to watch this video to see if the gum trees looked 3D or 2D. Couldn’t decide in the end. What do other people think?
If you can’t decide what they are, they are good enough.
That’s something I was thinking about too! Not what other people thought, that the trees actually looked to be done in proper 3D!
Well bugger me :-) Never thought I’d see this day. Car dynamics look good too and the sound is excellent, especially the V8 supercar downshifting early in the clip. Of course everyone is going to jump on me that the audio is more than likely fudged but that does raise an interesting point. Despite PD claiming that their car sounds are mic’ed accurately and people just don’t know what real cars sound like, they always manage to make the fudged trailers sound great (like this one) so they clearly know what it *should* sound like and they just haven’t figured out yet how to make it sound like that in the real game.
Wait, where is there a V8 Supercar in this clip? I didn’t see one. As far as sounds, the movie ones are what PD is aiming for with their new capture technique that we will see in an update to GT6 at some point.
V8 Supercar? I don’t see any. Unless you’re referring to the Daytona Coupe. But that isn’t really a V8 supercar, more along the lines of a V8 sportscar.
Daytona Coupe is a V8 powered Racecar, but no, not a V8 Supercar.
I agree. The downshfting sound at the early part of the trailer does sound similar to a V8 supercars racing car.
The Real Driving Simulator.
The Muff Diving Stimulator
Yes.
just relised how many of those companies got free advertising world wide when this goes live lol
Yes, their brand goes global!!!
Hopefully two thing happen. First my racing buddies start to drive a track other than the RING.
Second, we get some additional V8 Supercars and Aussie tracks.
I cant wait to see what the haters have to say about this addition. Because we all know PD’s tracks are pretty much spot on real. If those engine sounds are even close to what GT6 will support, you can scratch another hate object.
Bottom line, no way I don’t own GT6 day one. And I’m sure more than a few haters will too.
So am up to my 15th watch of this clip, Dec 6 cannot arrive fast enough!
Only 15 viewings?
25 now and this will continue daily until Dec 6!
Every time I log on, even if I’m going to bookface, I still come here to watch this video!!
I lost count after about 20 or so viewings…
Lol, I’ve downloaded the trailer off the Youtube and put it on my phone. So I can watch it over and over. I never get sick of it :)
Not played this track since toca race driver
Same, V8 Supercars as it was known out here was a fantastic racing game, so many styles of racing it was one of the best PS2 games for mine. Love it!
TOCA was one of the very best racing console games ever made. I’m still hoping for part II after all these years.
They didn’t have the Ring, but they had almost everything else. Like Hockenheimring long and Phillip Island for starters.
Too bad the old hockenheim course is gone.
They actually had V8 Supercars 3, which was the one I still have, which morphed in to Race Driver: Grid and Race Driver: Grid2. The old Hockenheim ring was a fantastic track shame they changed it. We may see PI in GT6 yet pending the announcements of the other Aussie track / tracks. Great games all the same
I can do a constant 2:21 to 2:10 on this track with rFactor so hopefully since I am used to GT5/ 6 (demo) physics it can get a better constant lap time
Too bad one of the best track collections is to be found in NFS Shift 2, including the old Hockenheimring, old Silverstone, old Monza, Brands Hatch, Oschersleben, Zolder, BRNO, Donington, Road America and Mount Panorama. What a waste.
Nurburgring is now 2nd favourite track in gran turismo bring on bathurst what most of you don’t understand about this track that makes it so hard is there is so many blind corners on the top of the mountain its is the best track that the aussies have to offer enjoy all.
Also the drop from skyline through the dipper is a crazy steep gradient the TV cannot do it justice, and then the turn in to Forrest’s elbow is a lot tighter than it looks, so demanding on the drivers esp when there is 161 laps in total. Respect +!
My biggest concern right now is if it’s going to be available upon release, of down the road as dlc? Didn’t they mention something about the Goodwood Hill Climb event being released later on as dlc awhile ago? That makes me worried for this track.
That was a reference to the rally stage at Goodwood, not the hillclimb. Or at least that’s what I remember…
True, the rally stage might be released later. Bathurst is on the official GT6 site, so it’ll be there.
Night racing at Bathurst is going to be most spectacular. Can’t wait.
Im getting more and more excited when more news about GT6 comes out!
I have never driven this track so it should be intresting!
06-12-13. Im ready!
Sweeeeeeeeet, YOU, are gonna looooove this track, I am certain this will become one of your top 3 instantly! Have fun brah!!!!
I’d say number one track! Then Spa then Nurbugring (Type V is my fave of The Ring)
For me the ring (24hr version Nordschleife & the GP track combined) still reigns supreme, simply due to the length, amount of corners, the variations of the corners and the fact that this is where everyone who is anyone in the motoring world (manufacturers) have this as the ultimate universal proving ground (using just the Nordschleife). Now Bathurst at number 2 followed by Spa in 3rd! But we agree that these tracks are both our top 3.
From a motoring world perspective, sure, the Nordschliefe is the number one track… In the world! I will not disagree with that, but from an Aussie pride point of view, Bathurst is #1!!
And yeah, I meant the FULL 24hr, not type V. I like it but, because I do cat and mouse so often, I don’t get to drive on it enough. (track votes and all – not a fave of others in the room!)
Absolutely from a motoring perspective and 100% on the money from an Aussie perspective, it’s number one absolutely without doubt, It would be very “unastrayian” of me if I didn’t. We are in complete agreement there cuz!
It’s okay ZeroGaming, I’ve never driven on this track in a game either – though I have heard a lot about it from the guys I race with. Looks like I’m in for a treat.
This is very impressive! I’m so excited for the game
Looks like the R18 is the only LMP1 car they’ve bothered included
so far.. I saw both of the 908’s from GT5 and we are supposed to get the Deltawing… see my other posts about that though for the true details of that car
I wish the TS030 and maybe different RCP LMP from Nissan, would be in GT6.
yess… and especially the switch from electric to the V8 cycles ohhhh my..
Now we just need Utes, the greatest cars in the world.
Nice, but i want Seattle Circuit in GT6 dear PD!
Thanks!
I just rediscovered that circuit on gt4 a few weeks ago. They really do need to revive that!
Was it not said a while back, that two Aussie locations would be revealed? It was a give-in that we knew about Bathurst, I’m just wondering about the other location now.
Also i guess its time to pull out those R32 GTRs and start peeling back V8’s like they use to. I really hope they put in at least a V8 supercar of each breed and from a couple of different eras. The ultimate for me would be the GTR’s That dominated them, even with the weight and boost penalty’s they incurred to make it closer. Until they couldn’t beat them so they got rid of them. but even if i don’t get them my Calsonic R32 will suffice.
All you Ford and Holden(Glorified Vauxhall) people know the skyline(s) I’m talking bout don’t you. Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge. Just in case you all forgot i remember the Gibson motor sports & Winfeild racing BNR32 GTR’s Cleaning the up the V8 Rubbish.
Just 1 final comment. “THOSE WHO CAN, DRIVE NISSAN”
Holden is NOT a glorified Vauxhall. It was making it’s own cars long before GM purchased Opel, Vauxhall and Holden!
Congratulations on your memory – those omega3 tablets are working I see!
“THOSE WHO HAVE NO MONEY, DRIVE NISSAN”
Awesome! It looks to have time change also. I can’t wait. I just paid off the remaining balance on my copy of GT6. 12/6/2013 cant come fast enough, only 64 more days!
Well, well, well, you proved my point imbecile. You did not reply online when you got destroyed by my last post in reply to one you made because you were being a an insulting, condescending & pompous git to some fellow members. DON’T YOU EVER come through and post some as I said you would, lame ass generic insults and do it on my PSN account via private messages where no one on here can see you, in fact I blocked your sorry pathetic self. Win lose or draw racing me does not change the fact that you are a nothing more than an immature fool who can’t take one on the chin and learn a lesson.
I am posting this here to let the whole of GTP know about you. If you had a set you would have constructed a well thought out reply but no you challenge me to a race at 6:00 am in the morning, where I am I’m still asleep at that hour. Then post another few messages when I didn’t reply telling me yeah that’s what you thought, I am scared. Pfffft Idiot. May as well be flipping me the bird while going past me in a train.
You are not a man by a long stretch of any imagination so don’t fool yourself any further to think or pretend you are and if you send anything to my messages I will forward to the moderators and get your sorry sad rear ejected for violating AUP you pathetic waste of space.
Don’t play in the sand pit with the big boys if you don’t want a mouthful of sand, if you post an opinion be prepared for it to be challenged. If you can’t deal with that that STFU and don’t post
Well said toothy!
+1
I so agree with you sayba2th. +1. This, PERSON, also private messaged me too on Saturday afternoon. Telling me a whole pack of garbage, bringing up his childish insults and telling me I should race him… I just ignored him. This guy has serious problems it’s not even funny…
@ SD, I read this clown like a manuscript guys, before he even came out.
@ Toko, I thought he may have hit you and Mr C5 Z06 Vette with the same garbage he tried to hit me with which proves me right once again. I actually feel sorry for how pathetic this person really is.
The audacious nerve of him barking an order at me, thinking I was gonna jump at his whim, had me in stitches for some time. He is the last person I am going to take a command from or have to explain myself to.
The whole thing is if you throw sand at me then I am doing unload a dump truck of sand on you. This person needs to take a good hard look at them selves before they start hurling boulders in a rice paper house. Anyway I have said my piece time to move on to more positive things like GT6 and Mt. Panorama!!!!!
GRAN_TURISMAN = OWNED. *starts a slow clap*. I’m not one that got a message by him but I know people like him. Good job sayba2th
Too many spoilers for me! I’m excited for this game, but I want to be surprised once I popped it in the PS3! see you guys after launch.
Spoilers.
For a racing game.
With no story behind it.
wat?
Yes, spoilers! He – JoeH187 – is referring to content! What he is saying is that he doesn’t want to kn…
Aaaaahhh, stuff it! If you can’t work it out for yourself then God help you…
ock knock knock on wood???? Is that it SD? hahahahaha
Yes Yes Yes
Yes!
Yes…?
Ahem… YES!
Si, Si, Si!
Ja!
Yeppers with peppers!
The more real world circuits the better :)
I’m so happy. I say that the engine sound is better. It seems not a fake sound, I think that it’s a nice sound from the real gameplay. Finally!! Good job PD, keep up the good work!
Still dubbed, but it’s a much better job than previous offerings. I’d be very surprised to hear the new sounds in a trailer for GT6, but I’d happily be surprised.
I hate that Fujitsu air conditioning guy.
This is the news I’ve been waiting for though. Amazing track… And finally Australia gets some proper representation in a Gran Turismo game! :D
Sorry son, Tubby is a legend!
He doesn’t even know who you are to be able to hate you
GT6 looks amazing, I can’t wait to buy it. I find that PD does a better job then Turn 10 and EA with Shift when it comes to capturing tracks. PD nail them perfectly where as Turn 10 and EA make the tracks to wide. Great work PD, credit where it’s due.
Is it just me who thought the music playing at the start of the trailer was The Chemical Brothers mix of Everything Must Go, and then felt disappointed when it turned out it wasn’t using the intro music from GT1…
Yep, it’s just you!!!
Actually SD I gotta say I was thinking the same thing as RTH initially but there was not disappointment when it wasn’t.
Do we finally get more and newer V8 Supercars or will PD just simply throw the Falcon from GT4 into the game?
Yes; provide the premium cars if you are going to include V8 Supercar circuits!
I have “Liked” Gran Turismo on fb (along with absolute heaps of other people) and myself and a very large Australian contingent have put forward requests for a lot of Aussie road and race cars!
These requests have been going in for quite some time now, so lets hope they’ve taken notice!
The Falcon was also in GT5 and will be in GT6 as well. And as SD has stated we “Aussies” have been clamoring for quite some time to see the “Big Bangers” (the name dubbed to the old Group C race cars) and the like amongst a number of many other great Oz cars past and prestent make their way in to the game. I think that we will see what they are next week when the Mountain gets cracking for another edition of the 1000.
The wheels of Lexus in the sun…
Quite poetic – with a bit of tweaking, you could make a Haiku of that image.
Understood? THAT game is GRAN TURISMO 6!
Did anyone notice that on an in-car shot, the sound exactly matched the tach? Could this also be a preview of GT6’s new sounds, despite them not being complete?
It starts at 0:43, but it’s of a street GT-R, and it sounds like a racing car. So, either it’s sounds from a racing car or a tuned engine with a racing transmission in a GT-R. I really hope it’s the latter. That would make me so excited for the new sound system.
No it really doesn’t. Watch closely the speed and gear ratio…
But it does. Listen to the sound of the first downshift. Constant RPM, then the sound gives two distinct rev-ups, to match the tach. Then the tach falls and downshifts again according to the sound.
The gear ratio might not match, but the sound timing completely matches. I’ve watched it about 10 times over. I’ll download the video and watch it in slow motion if I have to.
Extra comment, after looking at the speedo, yeah, that sound and tach animation are either faked, or the speedo and dash are bugged. I’m willing to bet it’s the former. Oh well. I can dream.
the in car is the pagani and according what i heard trough tv (top gear UK) its quite acurate
The only left hand GT-R is the Schulze and GT3 GT-R. Thats a different car.
This game looks great, really looking foward to it.
Great great, oh yes, can’t wait to take tenx x2 size pics and merge them in order to make true panoramas.
music from 0:09 to 0:15 reminds me of GT1 intro :)
I thought its just me, lol… Yeah, its very similar.
I am another and there was another guy who posted similar as well, good ears gents.
now lets hop the ingame cars will sound like the ones in this trailer
From what I see there is only, if you count 28 new cars that are constantly coming up in these videos. I just hope there are much more for GT6 which I am almost sure there will be but Im just getting nervous with the engine sounds and from what Im seeing for new cars. However I am still stoked to get this game.

Oh yeah!! This is gonna be fun!
Great performance for a old sistem . Great job KAZ .
THis is going to be sick, this track is dope.
Irony. I was just watching Top Gear repeats where they were talking about this (basically, a fight day with a race breaking out in it :P), and now I’m intrigued.
Yeah, I remember that episode…
Great episode, Hammond reviewing the Vauxhall VXR8 (Holden Commodore Sedan worked by HSV) and the Maloo Ute (Holden Commodore Ute worked by HSV)! The excitement on his face was truly a sight to behold!!!
Another thing that one can see in the very first 10 seconds of the video is the rocking of the front suspension left and right. You can see this by the front splitter going down and up and forth and so and the wheel wells lowering and rising from the tires… Just the little things that ive seen in this trailer in which ive never seen before. So before you prove me wrong, find a video of your argument and we will just see..
Can anyone get some High Quality pictures of that R18 in the black in white with and with out the trees in the way?? Would make a great Google Chrome theme..
Fun track that gets technical it’s easy to lose speed if you don’t run the right lines. I’m sure PD has captured the true beauty and realizm of the location. A confirmation of what most of us have already known was coming and a great addition.
If only PD could now add some Premium Australian road and race cars.
Road cars:
Ford Falcon XW GTHO Phase II
Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III
Ford Falcon XA GTHO Phase IV
Holden Torana GTR XU-1
Holden Torana A9X
Valiant Charger E38
Valiant Charger E49
Holden Commodore VK Brock ‘Blue Meanie’
Holden Commodore VL Walkinshaw
FPV GT-P
FPV F6 Typhoon
HSV VT Commodore GTS
HSV VF GTS
HSV W427
HRT 427
Holden Monaro HK GTS 327
Race cars (remembering no tobacco sponsorship can be replicated):
1989 Ford Sierra RS500 ‘Shell’ Johnson/Bowe
1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III Moffat
1991 R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Skaife/Richards
1987 Holden Commodore VL Mobil Brock
1990 Holden Commodore VL Walkinshaw Grice/Percy
1977 Ford Falcon XC Moffat Dealer Team 1-2 finish cars
1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Texaco (Bathurst disqualified cars)
1968 Holden Monaro HK GTS 327 McPhee/Mulholland
And so on…
I’m tremendously excited about the confirmation that Bathurst is in the game. We all suspected it would be as PD employees were spotted there measuring the track, but official confirmation is always good. It’s an epic track that, even at normal road speeds of 60 km/h is breathtaking. I drove the track last year when visiting Bathurst and it was steeper and narrower than the television cameras show it to be. The entire section between McPhillamy Park to Forest Elbow is like threading the eye of a needle. At speed, racing other cars, it’d be a mix of exhilaration and outright fear.
I hope the steep gradients and narrowness are translated accurately in the game. Oh, and I stayed in the hotel that’s been modelled at the Armor All bridge going into the final corner. Great attention to detail. I wonder though if they modelled the small plaque set into the inside concrete wall at Sulman Park? Maybe that’d be an Easter Egg type thing…..?
Without the tobacco sponsorship, a hell of a lot of racing liveries can’t be done! Having the A9X without the Marlborough livery of the Holden Dealer Team that Australia’s King of the Mountain used, what’s the point? Though, I guess a “look-a-like” livery could be done… You know, change the name but keep the colours.
@ ScotteDawg
Is Winfield a tobacco company? If so, I’m not sure if that Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R that won the 1991 Bathurst 1000 can be included in GT6… :'(
Lol, changing the names or certain letters just like in Grand Theft Auto?
Winfield is a tobacco ‘product’ and, unfortunately, falls under some law that bans tobacco advertising at sporting events.
However, with some of the older cars that were used before the legislation came in, there could be a loop-hole where the cars come in under some ‘historical’ banner. That would keep us all happy!!!
It is, ultimately, up to PD as to whether or not THEY want to include the older race cars with such advertising!
(The same wowsers wanted to ban alcohol advertising too, but that was overturned!)
I never played Grand Theft Auto, but I have seen screen shots and I guess that’s what you’d compare it to! Instead of Winfield they could do Wingfield and instead of Marlboro they could do Madboro!
Yeah, I spelled Marlboro wrong in my previous answer to this…
Let’s hope SD as Kaz apparently loves “Darts” near as much as cars so I don’t know if he would have issues. But worse case I will take the car with all other sponsorship minus the Marlboro (as much as that would **** me off I would kill to run that day glo VK of 84’s HDT 1, 2 finish around the mountain and just for a second imagine I am doing my stint with the “King of the Mountain”. Now that would be EPIC!!!!!
I wanna run the A9X Torana against an XC Falcon (Brock vs. Moffatt) in a 20 lapper of the Mountain amongst a full field of competitors in Holdens and Fords from the mid 70’s!
THAT would be sweet!
+ many SD!
See the sounds?
GREAT (for most of the cars).
They just cannot add them in the game. Why? Its really a hardware problem? (too powerless?)
I dont think so.
I think they should also put in the Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst to go with the track :)
A Vauxhall VXR8!? A Vauxhall??? I don’t think so sunshine!
Sorry, but Bathurst is an Australian track and it deserves only the best – Holden, HDT, HRT, HSV, Ford, FPR, FPV…
Anyway, who do you think made the VXR8? Holden, with tuning and bodywork by HSV (Holden Special Vehicles)!
Anyone can race what they want on the track, but why a Vauxhall badged Holden? Is it just because it has the name Bathurst attached to it? In my eyes, that’s not good enough!!!
Well a Vauxhall VXR8 is essentially a Holden so what difference does it make? reason why I mentioned it is because I live in the UK and we have a bathurst version of the Vauxhall VXR8. If the Holden has a bathurst edition of the HSV then put that in, dosen’t really matter because its the same car.
Calm down sunny, same car different badge. Must be used to that by now in GT5. VAUXHALL VXR8 and Manaro we’re the only VAUXHALLS i like before the latest GTC Astra VXR.
It’s always good to use the original brand. I mean, when the next gen Ford Mustang arrives in Australia and some game developer includes that car with FPV logo, all the Americans will go ‘WTF!!!’ lol.
If someone was around me for that first scene, they would’ve seen that I was having a seizure and compulsively rocking back and forth on my side..
This game… Is going to be… epic..
On A side note however, shouldnt our game replays always sound like that though?
So it looked like the only LMP1’s we will have still are the R10, R18, and both of the GT5 908’s…. Bummer. Was hoping for some better and even competition… I wonder how far the Toyota HQ for their motorracing is away from the PD studios
Swagger, don’t forget the Nissan Deltawing!
Yes but Garage 56 is a Test-form only. It has no classifications in LMP1 or 2, so the ACO created a Test-car category. The Deltawing when it was originally with Nissan was in that category, and the ZEOD will be in that category.
However the closed cockpit Deltawing that runs in the ALMS or whatever they are about to be called, desinged by Dr. Panoz, will be from what I’ve read is that in 2013 it will be a full LMP1…
However, we are getting the full Nissan sponsored one, so it isnt going to be under LMP1 or 2, but rather the test-car..
I wish they would go out to more LMP 2 teams. We have some great tracks where those open cars can zoom around and make fast laps… Especially at all the GT created tracks such as Trial Mountain and the Special Stage Rt 5 or the clubman stage track.. Great tracks for some fun cars
I’ve been waiting for this moment since playing the Commodore 64 in the 80’s!!!
Wow… what an amazing render of Australia’s greatest circuit! The first thing I noticed… the fauna and the trees! There’s no mistaking an Aussie gum tree! Bloody awesome!
The second thing I noticed… Aussie sponsorship! Hahahahaha, great to see garbage kings Cleanaway, King Gee workwear and the famous Armorall arch (they’re American, I know, but still…) .
Now comes the hardest part… are there any kangaroos on the track?
What if..
Ayers Rock photo travel.
Just thought of that now that you’ve mentioned kangaroos.
Speaking of rocks, let’s hope one doesn’t just roll out onto the track… lol
I’d almost bet there is a ‘roo hiding there somewhere, like the monkey and the cat in previous games!!
Mark “Tubby” Taylor on the Fujitsu ad, CoatesHire, Biante…
nice, gonna race at bathurst with the vw kombi
It won’t get up the hill…
Lol, will it roll back down the hill?
If a VW Kombi was taken on Mt Panorama, it would NOT be able to drive up through The Cutting at any speed, though it might have a chance in 1st. (Don’t try it with an auto geared Kombi (Sambabus))
As I’ve said, I play cat and mouse, and the “mouse” cars are barely tuned Toyota Vitz’s! These cars have difficulties going uphill on the embankments at either end of the main straight of High Speed Ring!!!
Good, now some premium Aussie cars… :)
Too much excited! So much good tracks! Wtf GT6 is too great
What a great job PD have done on this track, it looks absolutely gorgeous, & I can’t wait to go for a drive on it! :D
GLORIOUS.
I hope the sounds used in this video, will be some future updated sounds in the game. That would be sick!
Is it too early to say that with this track coming to GT, is a hint of GTA coming to AUS too?
This video just oozes passion for Motorsport! A passion that only Gran Turismo seems to be able to capture!
Great video!!
Engine sound!!!
Yesssssss!!!!!!!
I just wish there will be any brand new Australian cars in GT6?
Really great to have this track.
this is wot i,ve been waiting 4, nurbergring 24hr and gp , sarthe , spa , laguna etc and now this track, racing will be sweet as
Hopefully this track is playable for the EB Expo in Sydney this weekend.
Incomplete without V8 Supercars. Or V8 Utes.
Who’s to say they won’t be coming?
Exactly Elf, that’s what I think we will get to find out next week at the 1000 I’m hoping!
That’d be cool – the track begs for some classic V8s. If no news soon, then I’m really betting on a Bathurst car pack.
Well Elf, the other “top secret” Australian location should be the right time to introduce V8s and typical Australian automotive selections. Remember, every month is DLC, and every DLC contains one circuit, which I personally think it’s likely it is related to the theme of the cars selected in the DLC.
Something else to keep in mind is the fact that we’ve only been told of 25 cars that ARE coming to GT6 out of 200! There are still 175 cars we don’t know about yet!!!
Will our Aussie V8’s be amongst them? Hard to say at the moment, but if there’s going to be 2 Aussie tracks, it stands to reason that there’d be PREMIUM Aussie cars too!
Yup, I was going to mention the 200 new cars but forgot the number for some reason (probably getting old) so I do think it stands to reason. Hell, if we can have a bunch of NASCAR then the V8s deserve a few premiums too.
Off the subject, but still on about the 200 new cars (well, 170+ now) I think maybe the Triumph GT6 might get included – with a name like that, it just has to…
The “Trumpy” GT6 would have to come in and, if it does, so would the TR7!
Also, on cars that SHOULD be in the game, the MG X-POWER would be nice! In GT5, one of the paint colours we were “given” was called X-Power Grey! That’s right, an FR, V8 MG! If you want to know more about this car, follow this link – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_XPower_SV.
With regards to a Bathurst pack of cars, I was thinking an Australian pack of road cars with the option to race modify and have a choice of 8 liveries per car! It would save PD doubling up on cars!!!
Codemasters hinted at a TR7 rally version for D3 but that appeared to fall through – I’ve been wanting one in a game ever since…
Looks great, this will be the first track I drive.
I never thought I’d see Mark Taylors head in a GT game but there you go. Onya Tubby!
Time to make The Donut King Monaro, Commodore and GT-R
That’s a lovely track :)
It looks so official on the Gran Turismo website. :D
YES! I NEED IT NAU!
Im so excited!!!!!
+1
cant wait to play GT6!!!
YESS!!
Engine sound,
For those who are asking the name of the song: Akihasa Yamaguchi - The First Person – LINK on YOUTUBE: /watch?v=4YQbhVWYqko
Wonderful new track with day/night transition! Now it would be nice to have many V8 cars from historic to actual ones.
YES. Everything is ok now.
The track list has shaped up very nicely so far!
Man their attention to detail on this track is insane. It’s GTA V-like
It’s definitely one of the “Premium” tracks.
Man, I knew it was coming but it is just amazing to finally see it.
best rendition of the track so far.
Now we need some V8s+ a plain body version of every V8 and a livery editor
THAT!…sounds amazing.
Looks amazing, sounds amazing. I’m hoping this is a preview for what their sound generation is going to be like when they patch the game. Because the sound is this video, is just amazing.
I know there are a number of skeptics at present re the sounds which are brilliant in the concept vid, but Kaz has been openly saying that they (PD) are working on this but as ccar795 states below “I’m thinking, Polyphony is using the trailers as a testing area for the new sounds” does this not make some sense?
Of course the announcement has been made about these being patched in day 1 but can we at least look at this with an optimistic view to a change in PD, GT6 is already shaping up to be the best GT yet, the new cars already announced, the tracks, the course maker and the physics have all had snippets shown in some way shape or form.
Once again let’s not jump to conclusions and make assumptions about what we are or are not getting til we see what release day and patch bring, for me things are looking very promising!
The sound in the video was amazing. I hope at some point the in-game sound is equally as good.
Wonder if it’ll sound like that in the game after a few hundred updates. The circuit looks gorgeous though. I guess that’s the most important part, huh? ;)
The most important are the cars to represent the Mountain. Turn 10 said theyll have 2 cars but, could be a full grid of V8SC as thwy have done prwviously. GT6 need to have the Altimas at the minimum. Im sure the sounds for the race cars will be food. As far as the road cars, Im not worried. Most of my gaming experience is invested in Gran Turismo. All I can picture is me only racing on the Mpuntain for 24hours. Id happily race back to back to back as soon as I pick up my pre-order.
Just realised I’ll be at the Sydney 500 when the came comes out!!!
Please excuse the typos. Got a Samsung tablet and it seems a bit slow in the typing department.
I tell you, if PD do attend and have some simulators down there and they have some a V8 Supercar Demo, I say, they win.
Haha…agreed!!
Ok, time to fix my PS3…
63 days are still a long wait. And yes, we all hope for that sound to be soon in-game sound!
does anyone know the name of this trailer song ????
and cool video -_-
I’m thinking, Polyphony is using the trailers as a testing area for the new sounds? :o
It’s a good line of thought, here is hoping
but some of the cars in the spec 2.0 and original opening movie still sound similar. Such as the Mercedes SLS when it’s at the nurb and trailing the Ford GT.. But in my opinion, when you can close your eyes, and it sounds like your at Le Mans on the pit straight, and its on a game…
That will be awesome.
Oh and also. It does look like PD is listening to their fans, because I remember from the feedback section this track was highly requested. And the fact that Bathurst is in GT6 now, this proves PD does listen to their fans no matter how much the naysayers say they don’t.
Lets jump in glee everyone, W00T!!!!! ;D
May be PD can do night time in Monaco. Plus, Yas Marina circuit with day/night cycle and Singapore F1 street circuit.
Toko, do you reckon Yas Marina is high up on the tracks requested by fans list?
Sadly it wasn’t sangdude82. :( But I wish it was though. Maybe someday we’ll see I hope, but I can wait. We got the course maker. :D
Lame, Yas is spectacular and beats the living you know what out of a lot of other tracks. I would also like Circuit Paul Ricard as well!
This might have been one of the worst kept secrets in Gran Turismo history, lol, I feel as if PD was just like “Well we might as well acknowledge it already.” Still this is very very cool and the GT6 concept movies are still, as always, pure sex.
True 500 but as the saying goes it’s no deal til the cash is in the bank or PD officially confirm, now the fun begins!
Engines sound like engines!!
I have this feeling telling me that those engine sounds are what PD are working on. 0.0
It really could be. Getting a few cars right is easy. Getting 1200 cars to all have the same fidelity is quite a task.
Eitherway I have faith they can deliver better sounds. The core sound of the LFA in GT5 was amazing. All it needed was maybe a little extra oomph and some ambient sounds to go with it and it would be perfect.
+1 TomBrady. :D
I’m always a fan of new tracks!
But I have to ask, why are there never any fans at a lot of the tracks in the GT series?
looks good but tire physics still looks behind Live For Speed tire physics…. no sidewall flex at all on any car that I could see…. hopefully they fix that along with allowing tire pressure adjustments…. only time will tell I guess…… hopefully some premium V8 supercars also….
this is amazing Bathurst is on next weekend
Thanks for reminding me!
Really!? Sweet! Thanks for reminding everyone skyhighguy86, was well needed. :)
Yeah, it is on 10-13 October :)
Down Under we’d say PD has got on the front foot and smashed this one out of the park right over Long Off and cleared the Members Grandstand – luv’ ya’ work PD. :)
I ‘d call that a fair shake of the sauce bottle.
its a shame that the cockpit camera/driver’s head wont bounce around like that in the finished game
:-|
I reckon the Nissan V8SC cars will be in the game. Nissan will want international recognition for their factory V8 Team and considering they sponsor GT Academy they’ll be in there.
An R18 at Bathurst, that’ll be the day
the same was once said about a black president and a female prime minister
If only we can get some aussie V8 supercars (or V8 hypercars as I call them) and we’d be able to host an online bathurst 1000 using the new way to organize events that was looked upon briefly a while ago when we saw the new online room layout
No sign of any in this trailer, but they could be leaving it to reveal (if there are any) until the actual Bathurst event. Gotta say I’m doubtful though at this stage.
New engine sounds!
Dubbed in.
Did they model the entire area around the track too?
Absolutely!
One sound PD gets right without updates IMO, is the music to these official gt6 videos. Always seem to fit the atmosphere of the on screen action.
Those sounds samples are quite promising but please PD, don’t touch the Ford GT Spec 2 Test Car, or any Ford GT for that matter.
+ 1 PC, they always do a great job with evoking drama and anticipation with the music, cut scenes and slow mo’s to create that atmosphere you discussed.
Just need:
2 Red Bull Racing Australia Commodores
2 FPR PEPSI MAX FALCONS
2 Norton 360 ALTIMAS
2 Erebus Motorsport AMGs
2 Volvo/Polestar S60s
2 HRT Commodores
2 DJR Falcoms
2 BJR Commodores
And we have our 16 cars for full grid!
Or we can have the top 10 cars and PD add the Torana A9X, Brock’s Comodore, the Moffat Falcon coupes, Tuff Green Falcon, Winfield GT-R, SHELL Sierra, JPS 635CSi, TWR Jaguar and Greg Murphy Kmart “Lap of the gods” Commodore. For starters…
You forgot to mention the Jim Beam Racing Altimas & Gibson Motorsport ‘you are pack of a******s’ R32 Skyline GT-R :D
Thats the Winfield GT-R :)
Jack Daniels Altimas wont fly in a Gran Turismo game. :(
You reckon they won’t include Jack Daniels ones because PD doesn’t want to be the part of promoting alcohol brand? Oh, true… Winfield is a cigarette company, right? I wonder what PD will say about cigarette companies.
Although the sounds are dubbed, at least it shows that PD are aware what the cars should be sounding like.
Despite my comment below, I think your comment explains it better. PD definitely knows how these cars should sound, so there is no excuse now not to fix them in-game.
I’m not very demanding. They don’t have to use ultra-realistic sounds as long as each car sounds how it’s supposed to. The early videos of the Mercedes SLS GT3 sounded like a V12. If in this video they did make it sound like a V8, then they know, and as I said before, there is no excuse not to make it that way in the game.
did you guys not ever see any GT5 promos? They did the exact same crap. At the end of one in particular was a superGT Xanavi GTR flying by the camera on the ‘ring making a RAUCUS sound.
They’ve been dubbing/placeholding/falsifying for 3+ years now. There is no proof of a new direction here.
Forget Bathurst!! The sounds finally start to show some promise!!
Yes they are just thrown in and still wrong in some cases, but the fact that they did it is a step in the right direction…
hold on a sec. Those sounds could very well be just added for effects, but it’s surprising that some of these sounds do match with the car they are placed in. That Pagani did sound like a V12, the SLS GT3 sounded like a V8 unlike in the demo videos… I don’t want to jump into conclusions, but after waiting for so long, could it be that they are finally doing it right?
If GT6 goes out and the Pagani still has the BMW M5’s V10 sample, after they made it sound correct in this video, I will feel a bit disappointed.
Prepare to be disappointed then Husky.
Yes, it wouldn’t surprise me. PD has done things backwards before regarding sounds. A good example: Mercedes Benz CL600, BMW M3 E46, among a couple others that had their sound right in GT4 and not in GT5.
The grass on Bathhurst is needed on Nurburgring and other furry stages like these, so it won’t look so damn clean cut all the time as if someone has the best gardeners in the worlds working on those circuits every few weeks. Bathurst 24hr anyone!?!?
I’ve noticed about the grass too. They look more natural.
Ok awesome but we can’t have Bathurst with no FPV’s PD was gay for not putting them in GT5 an I want some V8 supercars not another ten GTR’s
I’m gay and I would’ve kept the FPV cars!
Yes of course they are, all of them at PD were on a float at the Sydney mardis gras might be coming as DLC. This boils down to licensing again. You had an FPV in GT5 Seton’s numver 5 2000 XR8 this will be in GT6 regardless of whether or not others are. However more of the V8’s are needed Holden, Ford, Nissan & AMG
And next year’s Volvo!
FPV & FPR are not the be all and end all of Australian motorsport!
And it keeps getting better :)
Some of the background textures look awful.
Oh well, new track.
Could just be the angle of the shot?
Pd don’t listen my A….
Cute video.
Wowzers!!!
How long till someone smashes Jenson Button’s lap record?
Having driven it in an old ovlov and spectated there I can’t wait.
I used to listen to that track everyday from the GT5 music library, was so nice to hear it in this video. Was a really nice surprise for me.
Once GT6 is in my PS3, that eject button will never be pressed ever again! GTA 5 will start collecting dust from the 6th December lol
The first thing I’m doing when I’m able to is I’m taking the Ford Falcon XR8 out for a track day here. V8 SUPERCARS RULES!
Unless there are (in amongst the 200 new cars) some newer Aussie V8 Supercars…
I’m taking a NASCAR out on it… that would be fun!
I was really happy just reading the title…that i’ve watched the video.. day night circle. Time to use the ”take my money” meme, probably.
*Then
Me too – when I saw the track has day/night I went straight back and watched it again. Some really great views there too.
Whew, thank goodness that’s over lol.
Nice video! Damn I told myself not to buy GT6 right away but I guess I would need to break my promise to myself. :)
Lamo :)
Called it! lol
Hahahahaha, they even got Tubby’s mug on the Fujitsu sponsorship with the pic of the SLS, A cricket legend being immortalised in a car game, well played Mark Taylor well played, so much win in that alone!
I´m already hypped as it is just to get to race in Bathurst in GT6, and better yet, it can be at night, it would just be kick-ass if PD also gave the game some aussie V8 Supercars or just some australian cars.
Holden (GM) – FJ, EH, HG Premier, HG Ute, HG Monaro, HK Kingswood, HK Monaro, HQ Premier, HQ Monaro, WB Ute, XU-1 Torana, A9X Torana (SLR5000), VF Sedan, VF Ute, Efijy concept.
Ford – XY GT-HO Phase III, XC Coupe, XC Cobra, FG Ute, FG Sedan
AND – HSV & FPV vehicles…
Quick history note – Holden has won at Bathurst more than any other make of car!
Well, thanks to Sir Peter Brock :)
Of course Holden have won more than any other manufacturer – Ford and Holden ensured they’ve had the last 20 years stitched up so no other manufacturers could compete.
That’s like having Manchester United and Aston Villa as the only two teams playing in the Premier League for the past 20 years and marvelling that Man U have won more titles than anyone else….
What an awesome video! PD….I salute.
This morning (PST) I was strangely telling to myself that they were gonna release trailer today
Not disappointed…
SO happy :)
OMG!!!!!!! YES YEEEEES!!!!!! 8D WHOA!! O_O *Falls off chair for being over excited* :)
Calm down Toko, everything will be ok!
Quick, send an Ambulance to Toko’s house :D
Toko is having an art attack.
You should be happy now…this thread is overrun with positivity!
Sorry guys. xD It’s just news like this always excites me. I’m jumping up and down. :D
Remember to breathe Toko – can’t have you passing out every few minutes…
Beautiful.
I almost had an organism! My heart was in my throat!
Night racing on Mt Panorama?! Oh yeah!!!
I’m speechless… for now. I’ll regain my composure and check back in later…
Yeah I hear ya SD, I had to contain myself from running around the office I work in while wooting and yeeeewing and busting out all the breakdance moves so I didn’t alienate my work colleagues any further
@ ScotteDawg
Haha, I think we all did :)
Btw, Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!
Oi Oi Oi!
I was also having an “organism”
“Organism”
Or maybe I’m just getting old and a bit of pee came out…
^ bahahahahaha, yeah I know that feeling!
Now please give us more Australian cars besides the old VY Commodore SS and Monaro. We need the Ford Falcons, Valiant Pacer and E39 Charger too!
Pretty sure there is a Falcon in GT5.
There is a Falcon in GT5.
*%&^ ME!!!!!! It does not get much more real than that! I have had the privilege of driving this amazing track before as I have mentioned previously and from what I can see they have nailed it the way PD do when they deliver! Anyone who has never experienced this racing masterpiece is going to be blown away and it will become a favorite of yours very quickly.
I was highly surprised though they did not wait til next week to make the announcement however this is extremely welcomed news. Looking forward to see if Phillip Island or Surfers Paradise or even Sandown, Melbourne GP or Adelaide GP to a lesser extent are on or two of the other Aussie tracks that will make GT6.
This was something I have been waiting 15 years to see Mt Panorama in a GT game and as a Proud Aussie this is just pure magic!
I think PD has decided to release the trailer today to counter the screenshots of Bathurst from Forza 5. I bet those two developers will bring their version of the track to Bathurst 1000 and we gonna see some game plays :)
Makes me wanna up and get down there for the race next weekend Sang so I can see them if that’s the case any GT / Forza fans that will be there are going to have an epic time if they do!!!!
Looks sick!
YES!
Now, will we get some love on Aussie road & racing cars?
We can only hope!!!! Maybe that’s what will get announced race weekend now that the track is 100% confirmed
The Downshifts look really matched up with the sound for it to be dubbed, i hope its in game :(
I’m really going to enjoy the track during the night and going into night fall. This will be another favorite among the community.
Doesn’t get much better! Awesome another 24 hour track to go along with Nurb, Sarthe and Spa which all run 24hr events. Peeps will go ballistic with this!
It would be 1000 times cooler if FIA GT Series, Blancpain Endurance Series (24hr like Spa) & World Endurance Championship could come to Bathurst in the near future.
Agreed Sang, I would love nothing more than to see an Audi R18 in full flight along Conrod would be just epic. Any of those series would benefit from having Mt Panorama in it’s season program.
So, I guess that both PD & Turn 10 will have the booths set up on Bathurst 1000 next week so people can have a taste on their version of Bathurst.
Amazing!!! Our spy at Bathurst was quite accurate with his info after all. lol
Show more PD and put those sounds in the game!
Although I’m certain those sounds are dubbed over I’m also mildly optimistic that they are also indicative of the sounds PD are trying to arrive at with their “breakthrough”. While I don’t really buy into the whole sound debate (I get it – but it’s not a deal-breaker for me), there’s no denying that GT’s sounds are fairly flat and thin, and that the sound in the trailer has much more ‘phat’ and is way more dynamic which adds greatly to the atmosphere and overall experience.
GreAt Job gt6
Fantastic track and can’t wait until I drive one of the best circuits in the world
You are gonna looooove this!!!
Knew it, don’t know why anyone’s surprised, what were they going to do? Save it for DLC, or until GT7?
DLC was always a possibility.
Bathurst! Finally for the NZ/Aussies!
Oh yeah, I’m gonna have so much fun racing on Bathurst :)
Same here! Can’t wait to see how Skyline looks before diving down into the Esses – PD hopefully will have nailed the gradient and everything!!!
One more reason I require this game to finish off my short but sweet stay in the 7th console generation.
The trailer is nice, despite the dubbed sounds.
At last, some good news!
Well, there has been other good news as well – but this is good too, agreed.
The downshifts from the onboard shots sound excellent!
Those engine sounds are awesome… looks beautiful too
Shame they’re overdubbed, just like most Gran Turismo trailers.
I’m drooling!
Wow that looks amazing! Are you sure that’s on a PS3?? GT6 is gonna rock!!!
Bye bye Forza. At least until the Xbox One gets much cheaper and has decent wheels. But by then GT7 will be out anyways :)
Turn 10 will be long gone after GT7 is released. If PD can make GT8 like what they did with GT5 on PS3, except on PS4, then I am pretty sure that every other racing game company will die. Bye bye, Turn 10, and Code Masters.
He’ll Yes! Beautiful Background Music! :)
*grins*
This is very good news indeedy!
Wait for the comments from Toko. Haha :)
Oh yes, haha. Toko will have a heart attack if Yas Marina Circuit comes to GT6 xD
I think Toko saw the video and passed out around the 45 second mark. Soon as he comes to, he’ll be posting here…lol..
Someone better send an ambulance to Toko’s place lol.
Make that 2 heart attacks, I am chomping at the bit now we have the Mountain and if we also get the Marina then I will be stretched out along with Toko!
Haha. You guys are funny. xD Love GTPlanet. :)
OMFG!!! It looks f**king amazing :D
Looks absolutely epic. Credit where credit is due, well done Kaz and PD!!! I don’t know if we’re hearing placeholders or not, but it sounds awfully good too. Day/Night too!!!
Do you reckon it will have the weather option as well?
Sounds are clearly dubbed, as usual.
No idea about weather, have to wait and see.
How do you know they are dubbed Samus, other than they are too good relative to anything PD has done before? Is it possible it’s part of the sound breakthrough they’ve been working on? I have no idea, just curious…
absolutely JP, Kudos Kaz and PD!!!!!
Agreed Johnnypenso!! +1 Well done Kaz and PD! :D
I think the dubbed sound (it is probably dubbed or could be the sample of the new sound that PD were working on) isn’t the concern for most of us here right now :)
@sangdude82. you can’t have Bathurst without weather. have you seen some of the downpours we have had there in the past
They have weather in Oz sangdude? I mean other other than horrifically sunny all of the time ;)
Damn, didn’t see Papapepe’s comment there…
Was it 1991 Bathurst where the Winfield Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R has won the race under the red flag? That day was raining like hell.
