Remember gaming magazines? Of course you do: unlike floppy disks or cassette tapes, you can still find them new on store shelves. But remember the golden age of magazines? When a 56k modem would beep-static-boop its way to a Geocities page of cheats in an eternity, magazines just made more sense.

As Gran Turismo fans clamour for the latest bits of news on 2016’s Gran Turismo Sport, the drag nets are cast ever wider, and the search can yield some unexpected results. Case in point: a mysterious Gran Turismo connection to an Acura ILX race car was found at last month’s Montreal Auto Salon, thanks to forum member @Zlork (Edit: the original image was posted by @Zalex on Facebook).

Hot on the heels of an early DLC pack release, Amazon has showed Turn 10’s hand for the long-awaited return of Porsche to the Forza Motorsports series.

Your eyes do not deceive you. Parked up there, in all its light-green splendor, is the Pontiac Aztek. The chariot forever intertwined with one of the most interesting characters on TV in the last decade, Breaking Bad’s Walter White. Now, imagine it racing.

Forza 6 launched in September of last year with three distinct digital flavours. The Ultimate Edition came bundled with the Car Pass: a $30 upfront cost to cover the first six months worth of Car Pack DLC’s, which are normally priced at $7 each. The four packs that are currently available – the latest being the Polo Red collection – have been received favourably, while the fifth is set to be revealed next week. Now, Top Gear magazine has revealed that the DLC program will extend at least one more month.

Earlier this month, we reported on a certain upcoming Hot Wheels set, that could possibly shed some light on GT Sport’s roster of vehicles. Today we have more information on the pack, including a surprise addition.

In December 2015, Polyphony updated their website, including profiles on some of the personnel. These interviews shed some light on the people behind the scenes that make Gran Turismo what it is. We offer them here in translated form, which wouldn’t be possible without the generous efforts of community member Imari.

Earlier this week, Team Redline talked with us about the exciting future of eSports and sim racing. The team has countless achievements to their name, stretching as far back as Grand Prix Legends, right up to present day iRacing championships. Today, we’re happy to be a part of the unveiling of their dedicated Gran Turismo team. Team principle Dom Duhan starts things off, while the new lineup collectively answered the rest of our questions.

We’re a little late this week, but here it is: another custom track to add to your collection, courtesy of the Track Database here at GTPlanet. It’s a bit different than most of the others we’ve picked over the past few months…

It’s that time again. Time for us to jump back into the GT6 Track Database here at the ‘Planet, and go for a drive. This week’s track should make you hungry for racing, and not just because it’s outline roughly resembles a steak. Mmmm, steak.

We’re back! It’s a new year, and a new week, which means another track plucked from our GT6 Track Database to show off. Like Week 12’s Circuito Hornachuelos, today’s pick is from the realm of fantasy. Where it differs, is the length…
