Gran Turismo 5 major update and makeover

October 6, 2011 By TomBowker Leave a Comment

Forza 4 is coming out shortly, and by complete coincidence, Gran Turismo 5 is now getting a makeover.

The early signs are it may be a candidate for marriage, and the date is already set for 11th October. GT5 is … [Read more...]

Gran Turismo 5 just got safer with the HANS Device

June 30, 2011 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

Gran Turismo 5 drivers will now get the HANS Device for safety

Gran Turismo 5 is a pretty accurate racing simulator, and we can certainly understand the official licence for the Thrustmaster T 500 RS as a realistic wheel and pedal set-up. But now GT5 has teamed up with the HANS Device, the head and neck safety system racers use. The restraint is apparently coming in-game, rather than being shipped to wear while you're sat on your sofa. So … [Read more...]
