Gran Turismo Series

The latest game update for GT Sport has arrived. Weighing in at 176.8MB it is, as expected, not a major content update, but it does bring along some interesting changes nonetheless.

There’s a theme running through this week’s GT Sport Daily Races, as you’ll be racing for a single brand in two of the events — and you can choose to do so in the third one too. Grab your Hondas and head to the track.

A new set of GT Sport Daily Races has arrived for the week, with two quite similar events and something rather different. You’ll be heading to Australia for a serious challenge at a well-known endurance event, and two point-and-squirt races at Japanese circuits.

Kazunori Yamauchi has again reaffirmed that Gran Turismo 7 will be a main sequence title in the mold of previous games in the series.
