Gran Turismo celebrates Goodwood Festival of Speed with new update

Today we’re pleased to introduce the latest Gran Turismo 6 update, to celebrate the start of the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the unveiling of a full sized model of the Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo as the festivals centre piece.

Goodwood Hillclimb 2015

In conjunction with the unveiling of the Mazda centre piece at Goodwood, we’re pleased to announce the introduction of the updated “Goodwood Hillclimb” course in Gran Turismo 6, and will include this new monument. The 2014 version will still appear in the Arcade Mode and Free Runs, but the course in the Special Events section will be changed to the new 2015 version.
 

Updated Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo

The Mazda LM55 Vision Gran Turismo, introduced to Gran Turismo 6 in December 2014, has been updated to reflect the changes made to the full scale model appeared at the “Goodwood Festival of Speed” in this year. The main updates include changes to the decals and the colours of the wheel rim, the use of carbon for the brake covers and the change to Dunlop tyres.

If you already have an LM55 Vision Gran Turismo in your garage, the car will be updated automatically to the 2015 version. Please note that those changes will be reflected also in all Replay Data saved prior to the update.

In addition, it is also possible to obtain the updated version of the car by participating in the new Seasonal Event, available only for a limited time.

SRT Tomahawk Vision Gran Turismo

The SRT Tomahawk S Vision Gran Turismo, SRT Tomahawk GTS-R Vision Gran Turismo and the SRT Tomahawk X Vision Gran Turismo have been released.

After the update has been installed, the cars can be purchased from the [Vision GT] option within the [CARS] section in “My Home”. Alternatively, it is also possible to obtain the SRT Tomahawk S Vision Gran Turismo by completing a lap (regardless of the lap time) in the new Seasonal Event, available only for a limited time. The two other models can be won as a prize by obtaining a Bronze award or better in the Seasonal Event.

Furthermore, the SRT Vision GT, SRT Development G-Suit and SRT Race G-Suit matching each of these car will be given out to everyone after the update.

Addition of the new GT Academy 2015 cars

The Nissan Zytek Z11SN Greaves Motorsports from GT Academy Round 3 and the GT-R LM NISMO from Round 4 have been added to the [Dealerships] option of the [CARS] section in “My Home”: they are available for everyone to purchase.
