Community Events

We went old school last month, dusting off the old PS2 to celebrate Gran Turismo 3’s 15th anniversary. It was a nostalgic trip down memory lane, one that wasn’t complete without a bit of competition. We introduced a Time Trial Contest using the game, where the fastest GTPlanet member could win a prize. Not to be left out, those that didn’t have access to the game could guess the final time of yours truly, as I tried to keep pace with the aliens that make up our community. Today, we’re announcing the winners.

As you may have just read, GT3 celebrated an important 15 year milestone today. On July 20, 2001, the game became available in Europe following earlier roll-outs in North America and Japan. To celebrate, we’re holding a little contest, with two prizes up for grabs.

The much anticipated 1.4 patch for Project CARS is now rolling out, with the PC and PS4 versions already available, no word yet on when the XBox One version will be released. Andy Garton, SMS Development Director, confirmed the PS4 version, saying “The PS4 patch is now ready and will be released asap today.”

Two new Community Events are now available in Project Cars, both tying into Motorsport events running this weekend. The first celebrates the Blancpain GT Series round taking place at Circuit Zolder and features the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3.
