As part of yesterday’s GT6 info blowout, Polyphony Digital released a short trailer which highlights the game’s new weather system, time transitions, and astronomical simulation features.
The sunset and sunrise times at actual events featured in the game, such as the Nurburgring and Le Mans 24-hour races, will be accurately represented. Even the stars and constellations shown in the sky at night will be in their correct relative positions.
U.S. Gran Turismo producer Taku Imasaki also confirmed to GTPlanet yesterday that you’ll be able to play the game with real-time weather, which re-create meteorological conditions at the actual track in the real world.
Here is a list of all tracks included in the game at launch which support time and weather changes. Tracks listed in red feature only time or weather changes, tracks in bold feature both time and weather changes.
