The radical new Chaparral 2X Vision GT concept car has been making waves around the Internet and the automotive industry since it was revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show last month, and visitors to the “PlayStation Experience” will have a chance to see and (virtually) drive the car for themselves this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.

When GT6 update 1.14 landed a few weeks ago, a seemingly minor new feature was added to the game: MoTeC i2 Data Analysis software compatibility.

Since GTPlanet’s official GT6 club opened last week, we’ve already added more than a thousand new members, bringing our total membership to nearly 2,500 people!
