Gran Turismo Series

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.

Well this is certainly different, I can’t remember the last time the Red Bull X2010 was featured in a Seasonal Event, if ever. That’s not the only thing you’ll be taking out in this week’s newest events because the Mazda Roadster and race car action are also in the cards.

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.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring European compact cars. Five expert level challenges touring such locations as the Top Gear Test Tack and Autumn Ring Mini await, and the rewards are just as high as they’ve come to be in these expert level challenges.

Two GTPlanet members, Synwraith (Maz) and GTP_Ingram (Alex), were involved in the setup and organization of the recent “15 Years of Gran Turismo” event at Silverstone, where Gran Turismo 6 was revealed.

Over the last 15 years, Gran Turismo games have become somewhat notorious for delays, but Sony is apparently hopeful that Gran Turismo 6 will not follow that tradition.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in GT5 in the form of new time and drift trial events, featuring the all-wheel drive Subaru Impreza. There are the no tuning restrictions in this week’s drift events.

One of the repeated points of Kazunori Yamauchi’s presentation at the Gran Turismo 6 reveal at Silverstone earlier this month was the growing connection between virtual simulations and reality, and how Polyphony Digital can benefit from increased collaboration with motorsports teams and real-world automotive engineers (and vice-versa).
