In 1976, a short film called C’était un Rendez-vous was released in France. It ran for 10 minutes. And if you’ve ever played a driving game you’ll probably want to watch it. There’s no real plot or anything to it, at least not until the end. It’s just a guy driving a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL6.9 around Paris with a camera strapped to the front of it. And it was very illegal.
Just this week, this loveable pair was spotted doing leg and truck-powered laps of Bathurst’s Mount Panorama. I’m sure there exists a hundred different reasons why two guys in brightly-coloured vests would be taking snaps of what’s arguably Australia’s most recognised race track, but audio from an intrepid soul’s phone camera strongly points to the raceway featuring in the next instalment in Polyphony Digital’s Gran Turismo series.
On January 17, Gran Turismo 5 owners will get two news pieces of DLC to purchase, one of them a pack with six new cars, the other a new test track.
Cars aren’t just about the cars. They’re about the colourful characters that buy them, customise them, and drive them.
Next week, Gran Turismo 5 owners will get access to a load of new vehicles, some for money, some for free.
Mary Pozzi owns a sweet 1971 Camaro. It’s so sweet, in fact, that Gran Turismo 5 developers Polyphony Digital have decided to put it in their video game.
Asia has Gran Turismo 5′s latest downloadable content already. Europe gets it very soon. But in the US, it’s been delayed until October 25. To make up for the wait, players will receive a “special bonus”.
