GT Academy has another new champion: 21-year old Nicolas Hammann of Elkhart Lake, WI!

There’s one last episode of GT Academy 2014 to be aired on Spike TV at 11:30pm ET tonight, and it’s a big one, with the conclusion of the competition and the revelation of a new GT Academy champion from North America.

Update 1.15 has just been released as a 589MB update for Gran Turismo 6, and brings with it one of the most radical concept cars the series has seen since the Nike ONE 2022 was introduced in GT4: the Chaparral 2X.

Polyphony Digital has just announced a collection of new Seasonal Events will be coming to Gran Turismo 6 in the next game update, running throughout the remainder of the holiday season until New Year’s Day. As noted in the blog post, up to 10 million credits will be up for grabs, so now would be a good time to start maxing-out your daily login bonus.

Polyphony Digital has announced that the online services for GT6 will be closed for maintenance during the early hours of Wednesday, December 17th, starting at 04:00 GMT/UTC and lasting for approximately two hours (click here to convert this to your local time).

You might not give much thought to the pedals on your driving rig. Unlike steering wheels, there simply aren’t that many standalone pedal sets out there in the market, and most people assume those provided with wheels from Logitech or Thrustmaster are adequate for the job…right?

GTPlanet has reached a major milestone today, as we celebrate more than 10,000,000 messages posted in our forums! This incredible number comes thirteen years, six months, and eleven days since the GTPlanet Forums were officially opened on May 14, 2001, with this rather unceremonious post by yours truly.

The radical new Chaparral 2X Vision GT concept car has been making waves around the Internet and the automotive industry since it was revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show last month, and visitors to the “PlayStation Experience” will have a chance to see and (virtually) drive the car for themselves this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.

When GT6 update 1.14 landed a few weeks ago, a seemingly minor new feature was added to the game: MoTeC i2 Data Analysis software compatibility. It didn’t get as much attention compared to the flashy new community features or new cars, but as our members have discovered, it’s a fascinating new tool that offers that offers deep insight into your driving.

Can you believe it? Our book, GTPEDIA: GTPlanet’s Guide to the World of Gran Turismo has just celebrated its second anniversary since it was launched back in 2012! It’s still going strong, and we are excited to announce the latest update, version 1.05, is now available to download.

Since GTPlanet’s official GT6 club opened last week, we’ve already added more than a thousand new members, bringing our total membership to nearly 2,500 people! As promised, a new round of events goes live today, featuring the current WRS combo and a classic, challenging time trial in the Ferrari FXX from the archives.

Britain, Italy, and Japan have produced some of the world’s most notable cars, many of which will be hitting the track in this week’s A-Spec Seasonal Event races in Gran Turismo 6. Here’s an overview of the new events:
