In what has been described as a completely unprecedented step, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the governing body of motorsports worldwide, has officially certified four tracks from Gran Turismo 6.
Sony says GT6 becomes the first video game to feature content officially certified by FIA.
In 2015, Gran Turismo 6 will be updated to feature a FIA Online Championship, planned as a long-term collaboration between the FIA and Polyphony.
“We are incredibly proud for the Gran Turismo Series to be officially certified by the governing body of world motorsports,” commented Gran Turismo creator and president of Polyphony Digital Kazunori Yamauchi.
He added: “In the over 15 year history of Gran Turismo, this has to be the biggest accolade we have ever received. I believe this will be a major step to forward our mission to connect our virtual and real racing worlds in a full circle, thereby expanding the population of car and motorsports enthusiasts in the world.”
More on the collaboration is promised very soon.
