Are you a Gran Turismo fan set to be in or around the Barcelona area this weekend? Do you — like most people — enjoy free things? Then you may want to check out the Barcelona Games World event that kicked off yesterday and runs through Sunday (October 9), as GT Sport will be one of the prizes.

Polyphony have pulled the trigger on the latest issue of Seasonal Events for Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are a combination of time trial and drifting challenges, testing your meddle at a variety of racing venues.

Gran Turismo Sport is playable this weekend at Tokyo Game Show as we reported earlier this month, and thanks to Gamersyde we have a few videos showing us the latest build that event-goers are able to experience.

Gran Turismo Sport is currently playable at Japan’s biggest gaming event of the year. The 2016 Tokyo Game Show marks the first time the public has been able to play the game since Kazunori Yamauchi announced a push back to 2017. Much like previous public outings, the game will play host to a broadcasted race, featuring a combination of GT fans and professional racers.

Following the disappointing delay news last week, Sony has now confirmed Gran Turismo Sport will be showcased at the Tokyo Game Show later this month. In a list posted on the official Japanese Playstation website, GT Sport appears alongside other upcoming first-party exclusives and third-party titles set to take place in the ‘stage event’ at the show:

Last week, Kazunori Yamauchi took to the PlayStation Blog to announce Gran Turismo Sport would not be released in 2016. The news came as a shock to players, as the public beta scheduled to arrive early 2016 had already been cancelled to ensure the target release date was met. Yamauchi only said that the game would now be targeting the 2017 calendar year, with a more exact launch window (Q2 2016, April, etc.) not mentioned.

Highly sophisticated racing simulators are increasingly common these days. What racing drivers can’t learn prior the race itself can be experienced and absorbed on these high-tech platforms. This allows drivers to be highly competitive regardless of the track they are going to face next.

Earlier this year beginning in February, our team of Weekly Race Series racers developed a new event, known as the Triple Mix. The backbone of the series was the freedom in picking the car you wanted to tour around the events, and participants would have that option: the GT300 versions of the Impreza, IS350, and RX-7 would be available over the course of the championship.

Eagle-eyed GTPlanet user queleuleu has spotted a yet-to-be-announced car that will feature in the Gran Turismo Sport roster — the Toyota S-FR racing model. The photo featured above shows a clearly modified version of Toyota’s concept car in GT Sport’s ‘Scapes’ mode being photographed against an urban environment.

Sony has announced via the Playstation Blog US that Gran Turismo Sport will not be releasing this November. In the update post, Kazunori Yamauchi himself details that the game will now be releasing in 2017 with an exact release window still to be confirmed.

One of the most impressive features of the Gran Turismo series has always been its replays. Ever since the first game way back on the original PlayStation, Polyphony has made an effort to give the replays a feeling of authenticity. Racing is fun, but GT games made watching the race after the fact entertaining in its own way.

A few months ago, we detailed secret stunt tracks that were found deep within Gran Turismo 6’s code. Today — in keeping with our recent looks back at the PS2 era — we’re bringing you clips of secret tracks from the GT Concept series of spin-off titles.

Arguably the biggest reveal at Gamescom in terms of GT Sport, Fishermans Ranch offers our first real look at rallying in the game. With the event now over, numerous videos have popped up, giving us a better idea of what this new track will provide players with come November.

Despite an apparent no-filming policy, short clips of GT Sport are slowly emerging from Gamescom 2016. Eagle-eyed GTPlanet member aceboy127 has spotted what appears to be a slight upgrade to the replay mode of the game.
