Gran Turismo 6

Overview

Gran Turismo 6 is a 2013 racing simulation video game developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It is the sixth main installment and the eleventh overall in the Gran Turismo series. The game was released worldwide on December 6, 2013. Gran Turismo 6 received a positive reception and was a financial success. New features included the addition of more cars and tracks, improvements to the car customization options, and partnerships with the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Ayrton Senna Institute, the FIA, and NASCAR.

The game developers announced a long-term partnership with the Ayrton Senna Institute in October 2013, wherein a percentage of profits from the sale of the game would be donated to the organization, which promotes and provides education to impoverished communities in Brazil. A free update in May 2014 introduced a new feature called "Ayrton Senna Tribute," which followed the motor racing career of Ayrton Senna. The update also included the iconic Lotus 97T, which Senna drove during the 1985 Formula One season.

In November 2011, the Gran Turismo series creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, announced that he and his team at Polyphony Digital were working on Gran Turismo 6. In March 2012, employees were observed on-site at Mount Panorama in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia, photographing and scanning the track. They revealed that Mount Panorama would be included in Gran Turismo 6, making it the first Australian race track featured in the series.

During the 17th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Gran Turismo 6 for "Racing Game of the Year."
