Gran Turismo Sport – Nürburgring 24h Night Race (Gamescom)

In less than two months time, Polyphony Digital and Sony Interactive Entertainment will release the seventh installment of the popular Gran Turismo Series on the PlayStation 4. To promote the newest title in the Gran Turismo franchise, the Japanese developer is present at this years Gamescom trade fair in Cologne, Germany. In accordance with traditional practice, they also published a new Gamescom trailer. More might follow in the upcoming days.

The newest trailer showcases Gran Turismo Sport’s night racing at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit. Keep in mind that in order to raise the framerate , Gran Turismo Sport will not feature dynamic weather or day to night transitions. The race conditions will have to be chosen prior to a race start. Nevertheless, the non-dynamic night race in the video looks very impressive. As far as lighting and colors are concerned, this might be the best night racing representation we have seen to date.

Sadly enough, not all the tracks in GT Sport will receive this visual treatment. At the time of writing, Polyphony Digital did not yet confirm the number of tracks that will feature night racing.

Gran Turismo Sport will become available in North America on October 17. The Europe and Australia release are scheduled for October 18, while in Asia the release is set for October 19. Sony stated they will soon reveal all the cars and tracks that will be included in the final product.
