Gran Turismo Series

With a week to go until the racing action gets underway, Polyphony Digital has announced the full schedule for the first round of this season’s FIA Gran Turismo Online Championship.

As players are waiting for some good news around PlayStation 5’s Gran Turismo 7, a development over the weekend could mean that Gran Turismo will also head to the world of mobile gaming.

A new week means a new set of GT Sport Daily Races to get to grips with, and this week’s trio of events brings a mixture of pace to satisfy all tastes.

There’s a new set of Gran Turismo Sport Time Trial events ready for the next two weeks, and they’re taking players well outside their usual comfort zones.

After a little tease yesterday during the 2021 FIA Gran Turismo Online Championship announcement, Polyphony Digital and Toyota Gazoo Racing have confirmed a third season of the online Toyota GR championship — but there’s a couple of changes.

An announcement from both Polyphony Digital and Toyota Gazoo Racing has revealed that the new Toyota GR86 will be coming to Gran Turismo Sport later this year.

As well as announcing the new format for the 2021 season of the FIA Certified Gran Turismo Online Championship, Polyphony Digital has also revealed the largest expansion in eligible players since the esports series first started. Around a billion more people can now join in, as India and South Africa are both now officially part of the event.

Kazunori Yamauchi has taken to the PlayStation Blog to announce a new-look format for the upcoming 2021 FIA Certified Gran Turismo Online Championship, the fourth season of the flagship esports competition. As we were able to reveal last month, this year’s championship will remain online only, and with that in mind Polyphony Digital has delivered a shake-up to proceedings.

There’s a fresh set of GT Sport Daily Races now available, with players taking race cars — albeit in name alone in one case — to three of the game’s real-world circuits dotted around the globe. As with last week, you’ll be using the two core vehicle classes of GT Sport — Gr.3 and Gr.4 — and enjoying the most-recently added circuit too.

A new set of GT Sport Daily Races is available today, and will see players head to three of the game’s real-world circuits. You’ll be using two GT Sport’s core vehicle classes — Gr.3 and Gr.4 — as well as a recent addition to the game in this week’s trio of events.

The latest update for Gran Turismo Sport, version 1.64, is now with us, and as expected it lands very firmly on the housekeeping side of things. It weighs in at a mere 158MB, which rather hints at a small selection of changes rather than oodles of content.

Gran Turismo Sport is shortly going to get its second update this year, and the second in just over four weeks, according to a new in-game announcement.

Information received by Gran Turismo Sport FIA Certified Online Championship World Tour drivers has indicated that the 2021 season will be an exclusively online series and not return to the live event format of 2018 and 2019.

The first new GT Sport Daily Races of spring (or autumn if you’re reading this in the southern hemisphere) bring up a pair of one-make road car races for the classic front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout to get your teeth into for the next week. There’s two fictional circuits in the mix, and a blast from the past event based on a real-world endurance race too.

A GTPlanet user has discovered that one of GT Sport’s flagship features, the Scapes function, has quite a great deal more depth than we ever realized — literally.

GT Sport Daily Race fans have another set of three new races to keep them entertained for the next week, and all three look set to be a bundle of fun. There’s two events for the Gr.4 and Gr.3 race cars (the in-game equivalent to GT4 and GT3), and a very odd car choice for the Race A event which should prove interesting.

Gran Turismo Sport Time Trial fans have another new set of events to occupy them for the next two weeks, both set on race tracks that are also public roads — although that’s only fictionally so in the case of one circuit. Unusually, the events are swapped round from their typical order, with the fixed setting trial on the right rather than the normal left.

As usual, Monday marks a new set of GT Sport Daily Races for players to rack up some vital Driver Rating points for their FIA GT Online Championship exploits, and this week’s selection takes us to some variations from the norm.

It’s the first of the month and the start of a new week, and there’s another set of new GT Sport Daily Races to keep us all occupied for the next seven days. This week’s selection is all about speed, as players go to three of the fastest race tracks in the world for their Sport Mode antics.

GT Sport players have a new set of Time Trials for the next two weeks and, after the slightly unusual and seemingly unplanned change last time out, things are back to normal. There’s two events to choose from once again this time round, with both a fixed car and settings event and a more varied affair in the other trial.
