Gran Turismo 6 has been on store shelves and in many of our homes for the past three weeks now, and it has evolved quite a bit since its vanilla release. We’ve gone from version 1.00 to 1.01 on release day, the inclusion of the BMW M4 Coupé, and most recently update 1.02 which brought together a slew of improvements and refinements to the game’s character, as well as Mario Andretti’s 1948 Hudson, a car Mario was reunited with courtesy of the “First Love” campaign.

Mario Andretti’s 1948 Hudson is now available in Gran Turismo 6, giving players firsthand experience with the car responsible for kicking off Mario Andretti’s racing career.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of five expert level racing events exclusive to high performance supercars from all over the world with no more than 620PP and no better than Sports/Soft compounds or less.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 6, featuring two new time trial events exclusive to the Alfa Romeo Mito and the 15th Anniversary cars.

Gran Turismo 6 is finally here and the one thing that needs to be pointed out right away is the fact that GT6 is the first full-length entry in the franchise to be released on time without any form of delay or setback. Could this be a sign of things to come? We can only hope!

Gran Turismo 6 is finally here and if you left the previous game feeling a bit weary of the possible absence of Seasonal Events in GT6, fret not as the first round of events are now available featuring the Honda Fit RS, 15th Anniversary Cars (where applicable) and the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision GT.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of five expert level racing events exclusive to French cars of any make or model year with no more than 450PP and no better than Sports/Hard compounds or less.

Seven days are all that stand between us and Gran Turismo 6; seven days until we’re all fitted into racing attire eager to experience the improvements and masterful execution GT6 brings to the table; seven days until the final Gran Turismo scheduled for release on the PlayStation 3 alerts us all to the fact that despite the next generation of possibilities already becoming more and more prevalent with every passing second, the previous generation will not subside without a last hurrah  – Gran Turismo 6 will be that hurrah.

With so much going on this week’s Seasonal Events challenges completely slipped my mind. Luckily as many of you will already be aware, this week’s challenges are now available in Gran Turismo 5, and are similar to the challenges featured two weeks ago.

We’re two weeks away from experiencing Gran Turismo 6 and the timing is impeccable; with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One out and about, the established platforms — the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 — are slowly going to regress into anonymity. Of course the platforms will continue to be showered in exclusive releases, but it won’t be much longer until the lion’s share of the focus is aimed toward the future.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of five racing events exclusive to classic muscle cars built in 1980 or earlier with no more than 500PP and no better than Sports/Medium compounds or less.

The PlayStation 4 is here! If you were one of hundreds (thousands?) of people waiting patiently in line to get your hands on the PS4 at the stroke of midnight, there’s no doubt you were excited to get back and play whatever selection of titles that interested you most. Now that the PS4 is here, there is one thing we all should be aware of: where one countdown ends, another begins – Gran Turismo 7 is imminent.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of two racing events exclusive to front and rear wheel driven cars with no more than 450PP for this week’s time trial and Comfort/Soft compounds for both trial events.

Instead of waiting until the very end of this article to find the members responsible for this week’s featured images tucked away in the footnotes, I’ll save you the trouble of doing so, especially due to there being two individual images used for this auspicious occasion. The image of the 670-4 SV that greets you is another fantastic panorama put together by HaerBev, and the stellar image of the majestic Ferrari F40 belongs to The R!CE Guy.

Gran Turismo 6 may be closing in, but there’s still life left in GT5 and that much is proven with the availability of this week’s latest Seasonal Events, featuring a series of five expert level racing events exclusive to Japanese Kei cars with no more than 355PP and no better than Comfort/Soft compounds or less.

Happy Halloween! I know this will be published on the first Friday of November but I’m writing this on Halloween so there’s a technicality there that only I can attest to, so once again, Happy Halloween!

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of two racing events exclusive to rear-wheel driven racing cars with no more than 600PP and Racing/Soft compounds for this week’s time trial, and Comfort/Soft compounds for the drift trial.

I assure you I’ve had this particular image earmarked since last week, the fact that there just happened to be a “Lamborghini Exclusive” Seasonal Event this past Wednesday was a pure coincidence. A coincidence that almost swayed me from using this, but aren’t you glad that I decided to use it anyway?
