The veil of silence has finally been lifted; Gran Turismo Sport is emerging from the shadows at a special event to be held in downtown London, at the Copper Box Arena, next week on the 19th and 20th of May.
As you’re no doubt aware of by now, the special event will be the host to a bevy of GT Sport-related activities: a brand-new trailer, private gameplay opportunities for members of the press (that’s us!), and the beginning of the first GT Sport eSport event. There will even be an opportunity for the general public to take a swing at the highly anticipated entry in the franchise, provided not only that they’re present for the event, but can get in to do so as the numbers will be limited.
The fun doesn’t end there though, because there’s the matter of this year’s Nürburgring 24 Hour racing event held in Central Germany from the 26th to the 29th of this month. While the professionals are on the track fighting for positions on the 25 kilometer behemoth, enthusiasts will be able to take part in the Germany Premiere for Gran Turismo Sport.
The premiere grants an opportunity to play GT Sport in a special booth for those attending the event, and will be able to test the game for themselves and record a few laps. The event is likely to attract quite a few personalities – who knows who you might see!

Can not wait to see what GTS’s version of the ring will look like.
…”the return of the king”…. ;)
IMAO – GT as we know is a long dead,stop kicking dead horse ;)
There are way better games than GT – i wouldnt expect much of this game tbh,thats unless you a blind GT fan who keeps saying GT is better than Forza,AC,PC.
Nothing what other game doesnt have.
Need proper GT not a clone of other games
totally agree with cfc, remember even Need for Speed was the king sometime and look at it now :S
…Let’s wait until we have the game in our hands before passing judgment, shall we?
cfc : Can’t you just accept the fact that some people prefer Gran Turismo?
Learn how to respect everyone’s opinion…
cfc is toxic.
Regardless, millions of us haven’t got the memo from a few dozen doomsayers who have been as right on the money about the death of Gran Turismo as every environmentalist prediction about the ruined environment – which is percolating right along like always.
Just as a heads up, GT6 was the highest selling PS3 racing game, and one of the highest selling PS3 games, since the release of PS4 at nearly 5 million. Unless it has surpassed that already.
Do I expect the nets to sag under strain of all the traffic during this event? Yes, yes I do. ;D
Bring it on!
+1 @cfc
It’s great to hear that they’ve made some progress in GTS, though. I would be genuinely surprised if GTS turned out to be a good game, considering GT6, as you said, is a dead horse.
I only had 1% of faith left in PD before this news was posted, so I’m still kind of hanging on, lol. :)
PD taking over!! This is gna be epic!
GT Academy starts beganing of June? I hope so.
So is that supposed open beta for the first half of 2016 officially cancelled/replaced by this event? Or maybe we’ll get it in June perhaps?
Why would it be cancelled or delayed by an event?
@georgetigra, you were right!! xD
Yeeeeeeeeees!
Can’t wait!
Be sure that i will upload some good video!
I wonder if someone has advance notice of said “personalities” and might perhaps be under an NDA and unable to share. A subtle hint or do will have to suffice in that case.
Lucas Ordoñez said he would be there (slipped up during his race with the GTP guys), so at least that’s one that’s unofficially confirmed to be there.
Kaz would likely be there racing!
Oops meant to say that Ordoñez will be at the Copper Box not at the Nurb, he might be, I have no idea but what he did mention is the GT event in London. That’s all.
I expect an overload of racecars in GT Sport.
I remember a time when GT meant driving a beavy of real road cars just for the fun of it
Different game, different focus.
Would be nice if they held a virtual 24Hr Nurburgring race in GTS in the future.
It would be even nicer if I could set a realistic endurance race at Nurburgring 24hr in GT6 offline.
