For any fan of the long running Gran Turismo series, patience is a virtue both on and off the race track. Formerly announced simultaneously with the PSP console at E3 2004, Gran Turismo PSP has almost become the Chinese Democracy of the gaming world, with five and a half years separating this hype-fuelled demonstration to the day the sacred blue and red letters lined screens worldwide. It seems somewhat peculiar then, that such a prestigious, long anticipated title should feel like it were thrown together in mere months.
If you were hoping to attend the final preliminary live event in the 2024 Gran Turismo World Series and hadn't yet picked up some tickets, your time has run out.
A special free Gran Turismo demo is set for launch later this year, as Sony gears up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation console.
The demo, going by the name of "My First Gran Turismo", will appear towards the end of the year in an unspecified "holiday" window and be free for all.
Featuring four International Live Events and six rounds of online qualifiers.
