3 Game Modes
FIA Gran Turismo Online ChampionshipGTPlanet can confirm that GT Sport will include three distinct game modes: Campaign, Sports Mode, and Arcade Mode. This nomenclature is an interesting departure from what weve seen in the most recent titles, suggesting the game will take a
different route in its overall structure.
Live E-Sports EventsThe FIA aims to formally ratify the Gran Turismo Online Championship at the organizations next World Motorsport Council meeting. Two championships will be held simultaneously throughout the year: the Nations Cup and Manufacturers Cup, where players represent either their country or their favorite car manufacturer.
Once ratified, the FIA will manage the series directly as any of their other franchises, including the World Rally Championship, Formula 1, World Endurance Championship, etc. The winners will be honored at the FIAs annual prize-giving ceremonies in Paris.
Improved Graphics, Physics, & SoundsThe Nations Cup and Manufacturers Cup will have live components, presumably similar in form to the regional finals held around the world each year for GT Academy. Polyphony Digital and Sony are actively looking to promote Gran Turismo as an e-sports platform to promote virtual motorsports in the future.
We have also learned that organized online events are also planned to be held on a regular basis.
https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-sport-what-we-know-so-far/This isnt much of a surprise, but the physics will reportedly be improved to take advantage of the PS4s additional processing power. Engine sounds have also been a priority for Polyphony Digital since the launch of Gran Turismo 6, and GTPlanet has learned the companys new sound engineer Mike Caviezel has been hard at work to change the way the sounds are generated.
Well finally be able to hear his progress when we get our first hands-on look at GT Sport
