Gran Turismo Sport announced

At Paris Games Week PlayStation Press Conference, Polyphony Digital have announced Gran Turismo Sport, coming to PS4 in 2016.

In Gran Turismo Sport, there will be two online championships officially sanctioned by the FIA (Federation Internationale de l’Automobile) running simultaneously. In the Nations Cup, players will be able represent their home country. Whilst in the Manufacturers Cup, players will be driving on behalf of their favorite car manufacturer. Players will not only be able to race as drivers themselves, they’ll also be able to root for their home country or their favorite manufacturers teams.

The winner of the championship will be awarded in the same manner as real life motorsports champions, at the FIA prize giving ceremony. This will be a historic moment, the first time a video game will officially be recognised as part of the real motoring world.

Working alongside the historic FIA, to develop a game that continues to be more realistic and authentic, the online racing championships promise to offer something new for players. However, the developers will ensure that the game can be enjoyed by players of all skill levels.

GT Sport is currently in development for the PlayStation 4, with a beta set for Spring 2016.
