Gran Turismo will reveal 'what's next' for the series on May 15

"We felt that 15 years of GT was an event worth celebrating," says Sony.

Sony has confirmed that Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi will reveal the future of the series during an event taking place at the UK's Silverstone racing circuit on May 15.

No Caption Provided

While Sony is not saying whether Polyphony Digital has been working on Gran Turismo 6, SCEE senior vice president Michael Denny name-dropped the title as a PlayStation 3 game in an interview earlier this year.

The event, designed to commemorate the 15th anniversary of Sony's flagship driving simulator, will be attended by car manufacturers Nissan, Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, and Toyota.

"The Gran Turismo franchise continues to be extremely important to PlayStation," explained Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president Jim Ryan. "We felt that 15 years of GT was an event worth celebrating along with our colleagues from the Americas, Asia, and Japan."

"As well as experiencing the development of the franchise and comparing the virtual and real, it will be a pleasure to see Yamauchi-san and hear what's next for Gran Turismo," added Ryan.

The Silverstone circuit has never actually featured in a Gran Turismo to date, but GTPlanet reported in September 2012 that Polyphony Digital staff have visited the track several times to take photographs and scans.

@wexorian @SavageEvil @nickpgr7 Butthurt about what? I'll never complete GT5 because A Spec sucks ass, and I refuse to play it, it's been two years since I saw A Spec. I play seasonals and buy and tune pretty much every car I come across, I have been surprised by the number of capable cars I have come across in the game. I will never accept a game that has less than 500 cars, it's just a joy to tune a car and not expect much and get surprised by some amazing performance for it's class. Now if GT had a sort function and a way to create car folders it would be easier to find my gems but I just lock them into class, 500, 520, 530, 550 etc all on SH or less.

@wexorian @nickpgr7 perhaps you should post something that is worthwhile even if it's just a little. Instead of being a troll yourself.

@obsequies Car damage exists in GT5, I don't know what you are on about.


I liked GT5, it was a good game, but compared to its main competitor Forza, it felt...lacklustre. For a game that wants to be THE racing game, it lacks options. It has a lot of stuff to pick from, but in only a few categories.

Not all cars are moddable, the ones that are only have 1-3 different parts, if that. There is a nice selection of circuits, but having some point to point racing, or more rally stages would be great.

@dillon-peters @kljohns2 I loved all of them except for 5. 3 and 4 were amazing. 5 was like an HD upgrade and that was it.
