Daytona

PlayStation’s social media channels have revealed the first gameplay video of Gran Turismo 7’s Daytona International Speedway, re-confirmed for the game just yesterday.

Gran Turismo’s social media channels have again confirmed that Daytona International Speedway will be returning to the series in Gran Turismo 7.

A fight to the finish was what fans wanted last weekend, and receive one they certainly did. As the season opener, the Daytona 24 served as an excellent sign of things to come, a day-long sprint with record-setting wins in the Prototype and GTLM categories.

This weekend sees the international motorsport season kick off with a bang, as the 54th running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona starts the ball rolling for another bumper year of global sportscar action. The twice round the clock Florida classic will be the first event for IMSA’s newly renamed WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, as a grand total of 54 cars, many of which are brand new additions to the field, take the green flag on Saturday afternoon.

Stay tuned for future articles from our racing driver contributor coming soon as he experiences and progresses through his professional career.

A special Seasonal Event has been made available in Gran Turismo 6, celebrating the 24 Hours of Daytona taking place at the actual circuit this weekend. Of course, the Seasonal Event will be much shorter at only 24 minutes in length.

Two American GT Academy champions are teaming up this week to compete at the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge’s opening race at Daytona. 2011 champion Bryan Heitkotter and 2013 champion Nick McMillen will be driving the #41 Nissan 370Z for the Doran Racing team.
