Both combinations are among those we might have seen even back in the closed Beta, getting on for almost three years ago.

Toyota is bringing the World Rally Championship back to the public roads later this year, with a new model of its Yaris hatchback.

If, like us, you were watching Sony’s keynote presentation at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas yesterday, you’ll have noticed some astonishing numbers regarding the PlayStation 4.

It might be very early days in the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show, but it looks like Sony has already stolen the event. Not with some fancy new camera, television, phone, or even PlayStation 5, rather a car.

It might be one of the most famous movie cars in history, and now you have the chance to buy it. The original Ford Mustang from classic 1968 movie Bullitt will be heading across the auction block this Friday, in the Mecum auction in Kissimmee, Florida.

Almost 98.4% of our 2020 calendar remains unticked, but it’s already time for Polyphony Digital to start delivering updates to GT Sport this year.

To quote old man Biff Tannen, “there’s something very familiar about all this”. GT Sport Daily Race regulars will be feeling a twinge of deja vu this week, at least about two of the races.

It’s a new week, new month, new year, and new decade, and the first GT Sport Time Trials of the 2020s bring a classic GT feel with a brand new vibe. Both tracks are part of the game’s post-launch update content, as is the car you’ll use in at least one of the events.

The latest Gran Turismo Carpool video has just been released, and it features two of the biggest names in Gran Turismo.

As anyone who’s picked up a copy of GTPEDIA will know, there’s a lot of facts and a lot of history in Gran Turismo. The game series hit 22 years of age in 2019, and the 2020s will more than likely see a fourth decade of Gran Turismo games.

Once again, we’ve reached that time of year that the Norwegians call “romjul”. Calendars are rapidly finding their way into the recycling despite having a good couple of days left, and we’re casting our minds back over the last 12 months.

We’ve only just closed out the second season of GT Sport’s 2019/20 FIA Exhibition Series, but the third is already upon us. It’s a little sooner than you might think as well, so be sure to read on so you don’t end up getting caught out.

The tail end of the year is often a special time for Gran Turismo fans. Ten of the 12 core games made their way into the world in the last three months of the year, and so many celebrate anniversaries around this time. So, for that matter, do PlayStation consoles themselves.
