Nicknamed "The Glen", Watkins Glen International is a historic road course found in New York State, roughly 260 miles northwest of New York City, which opened in 1956 and is surrounded by rolling hills. The first half of the track comprises high-speed sections with mid to high-speed corners, with the latter half features tight, technical turn combinations. The undulating track is also narrow which encourages high-intensity racing battles. The back straight leads to a high-speed chicane, immediately followed by a right turn into a banking section (Outer Loop), which is one of the track's primary highlights. From there, the long course will run into the technical section known as "The Boot", while the 'Short Course' bypasses this segment entirely.

I played it a lot and now it's on backburner since PS deluxe subscription. Still play it when more events are launched. Have stopped playing daily races as Penalty system is sh*t and too many Ahole drivers ruin it.

David Harbour Set to Star in ‘Gran Turismo’ for Sony and PlayStation

 

Neill Blomkamp, better known for his sci-fi movies such as 'District 9' and 'Elysium,' is directing the project that is inspired by both the best-selling video game and true story about one of its players.

 

Based on a true story, the project is described as the ultimate wish-fulfillment tale of a teenage Gran Turismo player whose gaming skills won a series of Nissan competitions to become an actual professional race car driver.

 

Harbour will play a retired driver who teaches the teen to drive.

 

PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan, as well as Doug Belgrad and Dana Brunetti, are producing. Game creator Kazunori Yamauchi and Hall are executive producing.

 

“As one of PlayStation’s longest standing and most beloved franchises, it’s great to be partnering with Columbia Pictures again to bring Gran Turismo to life in an exciting way,” said Qizilbash in a statement. “We can’t wait for audiences to see Neill’s vision of this inspiring true story of gamer turned professional race car driver.”

 

Sony is planning a theatrical release for Turismo, setting an Aug. 11, 2023 opening.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC), Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and Polyphony Digital Inc. have announced that Gran Turismo™7 will be used as the platform for the Olympic Esports Series 2023 Motor Sport Event. An online time trial will begin in mid-April (eligibility criteria to be announced at a later date). The fastest from the time trial will be invited to compete at the finals, which will be live at the first-ever Olympic Esports Week from June 22-25, 2023 in Singapore.

"Participation of Gran Turismo in the Olympic Esports Series 2023 is something we are very happy about and it is great for fans of GT and the community," explained producer of the Gran Turismo series Kazunori Yamauchi at an event held at Olympic House in Lausanne. "What we're seeing is something that, for us, began when we started GT Academy in 2008 when we were trying to go from virtual to real-world racing, and we saw them as two distinct things. Ten years on and we are seeing the landscape of sport evolving with more places that the virtual and real worlds meet. The OES marks a step change in that process. The athletes will be one in the same, and athletes competing in these sports will have the experience in their careers of moving seamlessly between the virtual and real. Sport has been evolving for 100 years and this is the latest development in that evolution."

For Robert Reid, the FIA Deputy President for Sport, the Olympic Esports Series 2023 Motor Sport Event is a valuable collaboration on a number of fronts. "I am delighted that the FIA is joining forces for the second time in a row with the IOC and Gran Turismo for this innovative Esports event," he said. "We've committed to double the participation in motorsport, and the Olympic Esports Series aligns perfectly with our strategy to extend the appeal of our wonderful sport to fresh audiences. Esports promotes mass participation by removing most of the traditional barriers to entry and is also a great display of equality, diversity and inclusivity."
