Gran Turismo Sport

The familiar setting of Brands Hatch has become a testing ground for yet another comparison, showing the similarities — and differences — between two racing simulators. The latest video compares Project CARS to the GT Sport beta, using the up-to-date Corvette C7.R and Gr.3 car, respectively.

Earlier this month it was announced Porsche would be coming to Gran Turismo Sport, continuing a theme within the genre now that the Electronic Arts exclusivity deal is dead.

In an unexpected surprise only one week after a batch of new circuits were revealed, it appears that Autódromo José Carlos Pace (known by its former name of Interlagos) is coming to Gran Turismo Sport later this year.

It’s easy to forget precisely how much work goes into making games these days.

It’s been quite a week for Gran Turismo fans. European players were invited into the ongoing beta, Porsche finally joined the GT fold, and three new circuits were unveiled. As part of that final bit of news, Polyphony Digital released a batch of wallpaper-friendly images.

April seems an appropriate time to say this: when it rains, it pours. We’ve been bombarded with GT Sport news today — the EU beta access, the momentous unveiling of Porsche — and here’s the final piece of the puzzle: three new tracks are coming to GT Sport.

After years of wanting and waiting for Porsche to make its way over to the Gran Turismo franchise, it has been confirmed that, yes, the German manufacturer will feature in this year’s Gran Turismo Sport.

The wait is nearly over: Sony has officially announced that EU Gran Turismo fans will begin joining the GT Sport Closed Beta Test Version this Saturday, April 15.

As we head into the weekend, we’re also about to start the fourth week of the closed beta for Gran Turismo Sport. Originally limited to US players only (before quietly expanding to Canada and Latin America), it looks like other regions will soon get a chance to take Polyphony Digital’s racer out for a spin.

Gran Turismo Sport is set to launch later this year with a variety of classes roughly based on real-world motorsports. It looks like another class might be destined for Polyphony Digital’s upcoming racer, one where how you get around the lap is more important than how fast.

As EU Gran Turismo fans wait patiently for Phase Two of the GT Sport closed beta, those in Britain will be getting their first chance at taking the VR mode of the game for a spin next weekend at Insomnia i60.

While it may have only become available two weeks ago, there’s a lot of footage of the Gran Turismo Sport beta out there now. The amount of videos has only grown as more and more people have gained access to Polyphony’s upcoming sim racer. We’ve rounded up a few of the best examples to give those waiting for access a better idea of what to expect.

The Gran Turismo Sport beta is out in the wild for US fans of the series. Feedback has generally been quite positive, but one notable individual has a bone to pick with developer Polyphony Digital about the car roster: the 45th President of the United States of America.

Today marks two weeks since the Gran Turismo Sport Closed Beta Test Version first went live. While initially restricted to US PSN accounts only, Polyphony Digital has promised an expansion to other regions — specifically the EU — as part of Phase Two.

Over the next several days, residents of South Korea will be able to test drive the latest version of GT Sport at the 2017 South Korea Motor Show. Open to the public from March 31 to April 9, the grandiose automotive show will host over 380 exhibitors, ranging from parts and accessories suppliers to various well-known car manufacturers.
