CC: Kazunori Yamauchi has said that Polyphony Digital are 'reaching closer to reality' with the Gran Turismo 5. After all, it has cost over $60 million to create.
Here's a look at the Akiba Grand Prix, held the Akihabara district of Tokyo last weekend. Making excellent use of GT PSP's multiplayer functionality, the Akiba GP led a group of players around a "circuit" of stores, shops, and restaurants, competing in different race events at each location. The final event of the day involves a showdown with two-time Super GT Series world champion and Best Motoring presenter Juichi Wakisaka.

Kotaku says: Project Gotham did it. Burnout did it. So if Gran Turismo creator Kasunori Yamauchi is toying with the idea of putting motorcycles into Gran Turismo, you can't say it's without precedent.

At the SEMA auto-show, Kazunori Yamauchi spoke about upcoming Gran Turismo 5 giving away many new details on the highly anticipated racer.
You may not like Turn 10 because of the lousy statements they've been making which it seems, is to cast a negative light on the GT franchise. However, respect must be given when it's due. There's a gradual progression that Turn 10's been able to manage that's not only impressive, but feels different with every Forza title. If racing is your thing, and you're on the fence considering whether to purchase this game, or should you wait to buy Gran Tursimo 5 instead, we have news for you, buy both. because Forza Mortor Sport is no Gran Turismo carbon copy, here's why.
Sony has declined to confirm reports that Gran Turismo 5 features a track editor.
With the recent rumors and videos that have been going around about Gran Turismo 5 having a track editor, we decided to contact the developers to find out if it was true or not. Now, we have a official answer.
Straight from the DigiExpo who have the latest code of GT5, the confirmation of track editing in GT5 is at 2:25 when it is said "you can make your own tracks". Language barrier heads-up.

Unfortunately, in a statement to VG247, SCEE has announced that GT5's listing on the site was a "mistake". Sure enough, Sony has just updated the PlayStation House website, removing the racing title from the description (the old version lives on in Google's cache, for now)."
The show is just getting started, so the only impressions we have so far are via Japanese sites Gigazine and Inside-Games. One interesting thing to note: Sony will gift you 100 free cars in Gran Turismo PSP if you bring your copy of the game to the booth. Keep reading for more pictures and the first gameplay footage of the Toyota FT-86.
NowGamer: In a recent interview with NowGamer, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi admitted that he would love to make another Tourist Trophy game. When we quizzed him about the prospect the man from Polyphony replied, "I would really love to make another one of those. We don't have any actual concrete plans at the moment, though I'm constantly awaiting the day when I can meet Tourist Trophy again. Really, I want you to know that I'm very glad people want another Tourist Trophy game."
The pic where Yamauchi is holding a GT5 package only shows ONE case being the actual game - the black one. You can clearly see the top case is a Gran Turismo 5 case. You can tell because you can see the Japanese CERO rating (like our American ESRB), and the transparent white PS3 case, with the new PS3 logo. And the bottom two look like instruction booklets, or car booklets that detail all of the cars featured in the game (this is something Polyphony has done many times in the past).
Top Gear's greatest driving road in the world looks like it will be making an appearance in Gran Turismo 5.
