GT6’s next update will be with us next week and brings with it the latest effort in blurring the lines between the game and real life – “GPS Visualiser” – demonstrated in the official video above.

2014 is a strong year for GT Academy in motorsports, with an interest in the Bathurst 12 Hours for the first time this weekend.

Gran Turismo 6 has only been with us a couple of months, but tomorrow (14th January) sees its third update thus far.

It’s been the baptism of every GT Academy winner so far and the 2013 winners have got their careers off to a flyer in the 2014 Dubai 24 Hours.

Every year since 2009, GTPlanet has taken a year-ending look back at significant events connected to the game series that brought most of us here. 2013’s been a big one, celebrating fifteen years since the title’s first launch with the rare appearance of an whole new game to the Gran Turismo canon – one we didn’t even know would be with us back at the start of the year…

With only a couple of weeks to go until the first copies of Gran Turismo 6 start thunking onto doormats the world over, you might be forgiven for being somewhat confused by exactly what you’ll be getting if you’re planning to preorder the game.

1000km in the Black Forest – that’s all that stands between GT Academy and two GT3 world titles.

800,000 entered, 42 prevailed and one man took the title and the path to a full-time racing career – Miguel Faisca.

Around 300,000 entered and now just 12 remain.

It’s been a busy year for Lucas Ordoñez. We’re never quite sure what car he’s going to sit in next as he hops from 370Z to GT-R GT3 to LMP2 to Altima V8 and even Super GT – but the latest ride is unique in every sense.

In a weekend busy enough to merit its own Twitter hashtag, the Nismo Athletes have been showing off their skills over seventeen timezones.

Silverstone once again played host to the final stage of the UK GT Academy national competition yesterday – and provided exactly the level of competition we’ve come to expect from it.

When GTP covered Bryan Heitkotter’s return last week, we said it had come as a bit of a surprise he wasn’t retained as a Nismo Athlete for 2013. In timely fashion, Bryan has reminded all of us why he was 2011’s US GT Academy champion.

The GT Academy drivers are ready for another assault on the Spa 24hr this weekend as eight drivers line up in the two GT3 class Nismo GT-Rs.

For those of us in the UK still scratching around for the four or five seconds we need to trouble the top 16 and couldn’t make Goodwood last weekend, good news! Four more wildcards are up for grabs at the O2 this weekend.
