Kazunori Yamauchi was in California yesterday for the official debut of the Mercedes-Benz Vision Gran Turismo concept car, which will be featured in Gran Turismo 6.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of five racing events exclusive to classic muscle cars built in 1980 or earlier with no more than 500PP and no better than Sports/Medium compounds or less.

Sony Europe has confirmed the location and date of the Gran Turismo 6 launch party event, to be held in Ronda, Spain and the nearby Ascari Race Resort on December 2-3, 2013, a few days before the international GT6 release date of December 6.

Sony Europe’s PlayStation Blog has just confirmed that both the Standard and Anniversary editions of Gran Turismo 6 will be available as a digital download in the PlayStation Store.

Mercedes-Benz’s first Vision Gran Turismo project has now been fully revealed, ahead of its official debut next week at the grand opening of the Mercedes‑Benz Research & Development Center in Sunnyvale, California on November 19.

GTPlanet was invited to test Gran Turismo 6’s new GPS Data Visualizer functionality during a special preview event at Willow Springs. As part of the event, I had the honor of being one the first members of the public to try out the new feature and to drive a version of the Scion FR-S equipped with a GT6-compatible ECU.

Yesterday, Mercedes-Benz offered a first peek of their Vision Gran Turismo project via an image posted on their Facebook page.

The PlayStation 4 is here! If you were one of hundreds (thousands?) of people waiting patiently in line to get your hands on the PS4 at the stroke of midnight, there’s no doubt you were excited to get back and play whatever selection of titles that interested you most. Now that the PS4 is here, there is one thing we all should be aware of: where one countdown ends, another begins – Gran Turismo 7 is imminent.

Sony’s latest console, the PlayStation 4, went on sale today in North America (Nov. 29 in Europe), officially kicking off the next generation of gaming hardware. (You can order one via this affiliate link, if you’d like to support GTPlanet.)

A peek at one of the first cars in the Vision Gran Turismo project has just been revealed on Mercedes-Benz’s official Facebook page.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring a series of two racing events exclusive to front and rear wheel driven cars with no more than 450PP for this week’s time trial and Comfort/Soft compounds for both trial events.

Last week, GTPlanet was invited to Willow Springs Raceway to try out Gran Turismo 6’s new GPS Data Logger functionality. We also got another surprise – the “full” version of the game was on display, and those of us at the event would be the first people outside of Polyphony Digital to get our hands on it.
