Gran Turismo 6 Video: Time Transitions, Astronomical Simulation, and Real-Time Weather Conditions

As part of yesterday’s GT6 info blowout, Polyphony Digital released a short trailer which highlights the game’s new weather system, time transitions, and astronomical simulation features.

The sunset and sunrise times at actual events featured in the game, such as the Nurburgring and Le Mans 24-hour races, will be accurately represented. Even the stars and constellations shown in the sky at night will be in their correct relative positions.
