Gran Turismo Sport

At the most recent Gran Turismo World Tour event in Tokyo, I had the opportunity to tour Polyphony Digital’s studios to see exactly how Gran Turismo is made.

The recent Tokyo World Tour event for GT Sport had a significant part dedicated to the newest entry in the Vision Gran Turismo project. Jaguar’s design is the first we’ve seen since the Audi Vision GT in 2018, and marks the 28th vehicle in the unique project.

It’s been two weeks since the last GT Sport Time Trials, and that means it’s time for some new challenges.

A GT Sport update will be arriving on your consoles this morning and, as we suspected, it’s a small patch rather than any major changes.

Polyphony Digital studio head Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed that there’s a “possibility” that fan-favorite tracks from previous Gran Turismo games could feature in a modern Gran Turismo game.

While everyone’s still digging into their early Christmas present of Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, there’s another update on its way for GT Sport.

Update: Since we posted this article, Polyphony Digital has addressed the issue with additional barriers to prevent corner-cutting. The original article is preserved below.

In recent months, Polyphony Digital has been adding a new wet weather condition variant to a number of GT Sport’s tracks. We first saw it at the World Tour event in Germany, with the wet Red Bull Ring. Since then the team has also added some dampness to Tokyo Expressway and, just last week, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps debuted with rain as standard.

The Daily Races following a new content update invariably use the cars and tracks, and so it proves again this week.

We’ve got quite a few Gran Turismo memorabilia collectors here on GTPlanet. It’s not just scouring eBay for examples of rare game releases, but people who’ll collect absolutely anything with a Gran Turismo logo on it.

Possibly the most eagerly awaited update in GT Sport’s two-year history to date has arrived. Yes, it’s Spa day, as fan-favorite track Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is now part of the game.

Following last week’s globe-trotting adventures in the GT Sport Daily Races, we’re off on our travels again this week. The three races take us to Japan, Germany and the USA, at various speeds.

As will likely come as a surprise to no-one, we now know that GT Sport’s next content update will arrive on October 31.

Tokyo provides one last chance for the three-man manufacturer teams to claim silverware before the grand final in Monaco next month.

Since GT Sport launched two years ago, fans have been wondering where Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps went. The famous, challenging strip of asphalt in the Belgian Ardennes featured in both Gran Turismo 5 (as paid DLC) and Gran Turismo 6, but has been absent from the PS4 version… until now.
