Official GT Blog: "Pit Stop" by Polyphony Digital

*Meme thread, oh wait... Never mind.

 

It's purpose is just to keep the name Gran Turismo in the spotlight, nothing more. It's better than nothing right?

 

Except it seems to focus on showcasing the motion rig, rather than GT6 itself.

 

A motion rig valued at least 30k if i remember correctly, something that only teams and driver could look up to

 

I doubt everyone going to the show owns the game, in any case it provides a chance to have a go on the simulator.

 

Your point being?

 

The GT with a proper rig is a whole different experience, it'll for sure help build brand recognition for GT and the manufacturer of said rig

Just noting how GT as a brand explored different paths; GTAcademy, main sponsor at racing events and even something of "niche" such as professional equipment for teams. It's not a news that drivers train using driving simulators, but it is that GT wants to impose even on this turf

 

Ah, I thought there was some sort of deeper meaning to it.

they also talk a little bit about GT Sport

google translation:
"Voice of "new information of Gran Turismo SPORT still kana?" Has day by day increasing. Please wait looking forward to it because the new news is expected to continue to tell as soon as possible."

"If we developed as the e-Sports "Gran Turismo SPORT", fought a real racing driver as of this event, fight together with the players around the world as an online athlete of Gran Turismo, FIA (International Automobile Federation ) of acknowledge that you reach the top in the event does not have a dream. In the world in Imama the fact that it was not out of reach would going to become a reality."

 

At least they appear to have worked out we're desperate for new info. Rough translation (thanks Google) tells me that people are asking every day for new GT Sport information, and that the requests are growing day by day. However, they do assure that new information will arrive as soon as possible.

When do you reckon we will get an update regarding GT6 FIA championship?

 

It isn't coming to GT6.

 

Using the PitStop blog to give information about the games? That's silly.
