Ever since the Copper Box event for Gran Turismo Sport last May, fans have been eager to learn more about the mysterious Thrustmaster wheel that was on display. We’ve now got a closer look at what to expect — but not, crucially, when we can experience it ourselves.

They say good news comes in threes. You’ve already read the headline, so here it is: a GT Sport beta is in fact coming, and soon too.

Heading to Boston this weekend for PAX East? If yes then you’ll have the chance to try out Polyphony Digital’s upcoming racer, which has been confirmed by the PlayStation Blog to be playable alongside other games at the PlayStation booth.

More Gran Turismo Sport news at the Geneva Motor Show. After announcing a new Vision GT car yesterday, Gran Turismo series Producer Kazunori Yamauchi and Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of TAG Heuer, announced that TAG Heuer will be the Official Time Keeper in Gran Turismo Sport.

After many teases, F1 legend and former Indy 500 champion Emerson Fittipaldi has pulled back the sheets on the latest entry in the Vision Gran Turismo roster on the ground in Geneva: the Fittipaldi EF7 Vision GT.

Last week we reported GT Sport would appear at the 2017 Game Developers Conference. The show recently wrapped, bringing us direct impressions from attendees that got to experience GT Sport on PS4 Pro.

Integrated Systems Europe. While it isn’t up there with E3 in the average gamer’s vocabulary, the ISE show in Amsterdam is a hotbed of cutting edge display tech. Gran Turismo Sport was part of Sony’s showcase, and a small detail from the franchise’s earlier years was spotted by our eagle-eyed community.

While there’s not been a lot of news trickling out about GT Sport as of late (we’ve had our hands full with Project CARS 2 instead), the next Gran Turismo game is confirmed to be featured at this year’s Game Developers Conference (GDC).

2017 is upon us, and we’ve already bet on it being a bumper crop for racing games. This should be special for anyone with an interest in Sony’s flagship racer, as we should finally have the first entry of Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo series on the PlayStation 4.

Gran Turismo Sport is set to launch later this year, and will represent the biggest change to the series since its inception. Gone is the four-digit car roster, with a smaller, class-focused approach made up of “Super Premium” cars built for the PlayStation 4.

Gran Turismo Sport was playable at the Taipei Game Show this past weekend—on the new PlayStation 4 Pro no less. While the build doesn’t appear to be much different from the one shown at the PlayStation Experience last December, it nonetheless shows us some new aspects of the game.

One of the largest automotive shows in the world — the Tokyo Auto Salon — is currently in the middle of its 28th exhibition. Visitors attending the show will be able to try out GT Sport which, for the first time in Japan, will be playable on the PS4 Pro and with PS VR.

Amongst all the announcements, unveilings and showcases of the 2017 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Subaru brought along its record breaking WRX STI time-attack car. Piloted by Mark Higgins, the 600 bhp car shattered the the previous record — also set by Subaru — for the time set by a car on the Isle of Man TT circuit earlier last year.

GT Sport will get its first public display of 2017 later this month, in its home country no less. Polyphony Digital recently posted the news on the official website, confirming the game’s presence at this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon.

Back at the beginning of the month, Polyphony Digital released 124 new screenshots of Gran Turismo Sport. One specific image has caught the attention of our community, as GTPlanet members have been trying to unravel a mystery.

We admit it: these slipped through the cracks. Amidst all the news surrounding GT Sport during the PlayStation Experience earlier this month — a new 4K trailer, a massive selection of screenshots, and new car reveals — there was a small collection of new Scapes images shown off by Kazunori Yamauchi himself during a presentation.

Ars Technica had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Gran Turismo Sport at the PlayStation Experience this past weekend. Not only getting a first-hand demonstration of the stark contrast of GT Sport’s HDR from series creator Kazunori Yamauchi, but scoring some seat time with the game’s dedicated VR mode as well.
