In addition to GTPlanet’s exclusive interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, where we discussed Gran Turismo 6 engine sounds and artificial intelligence, I also had the opportunity to attend a round-table discussion with him and a group of other journalists.

Nissan and GT Academy are making a big splash at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, with both Lucas Ordonez and Jann Mardenborough driving together in Greaves Motorsport’s LMP2 car. (We’ll have a post up tomorrow with links to all of the live coverage feeds you need to follow the race this weekend – stay tuned.)

A new “Complete Pack” of Gran Turismo 5 DLC content has been released in the European PlayStation Store.

An interview with U.S. Gran Turismo producer Taku Imasaki recorded after last month’s GT6 reveal was just recently published by GamerHub.tv, and it contained a few interesting tidbits of information.

A new software update is now available to download for Gran Turismo 5. Weighing in at 17MB, version 2.13 brings with it only some “fixes for minor issues”, according to the official change log from Polyphony Digital.

Amid all the GT6 excitement at E3 last week, Polyphony Digital quietly announced a new online service maintenance notice for Gran Turismo 5, scheduled June 18, 2013, between the hours of 03:00 and 05:00 GMT/UTC (click here to convert this to your local time).

In case you missed the U.S. GT Academy Racer X competition final’s live broadcast from E3 last week, Sony has uploaded all of the day’s footage to their YouTube channel.

I had the special opportunity to spend time one-on-one with Kazunori Yamauchi at E3, where we were able to discuss a few of the most pressing questions Gran Turismo fans have about GT6. GTPlanet also had the opportunity to participate in a “round table” discussion with Kazunori which included other gaming journalists, the full transcript of which will be posted soon.

During the Racer X competition finals at E3, Sony revealed the release date for the highly anticipated Gran Turismo 6 demo which will host this year’s GT Academy: Tuesday, July 2, 2013.

The last stage of GT Academy 2013’s Racer X competition is about to take place at Sony’s booth inside E3, and it’s being streamed live on their Ustream channel.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the world’s largest international gaming show, and it’s going to be a big one for Gran Turismo fans, according to statements made by Kazunori Yamauchi at last month’s Gran Turismo 6 reveal.

The schedule for the U.S. GT Academy 2013’s “Racer X” wildcard competition has just been released, and it’s going to be bigger and more competitive than ever.

A lot of Gran Turismo 6 screenshots were released at last month’s big reveal, but you might have missed these interesting aerial views of Silverstone, one of the game’s prominent new circuits.
