SYDNEY, 6 December 2013 – Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) is today celebrating the availability of Gran Turismo®6 (GT6™), the latest iteration of PlayStation’s best-selling franchise PlayStation®3 (PS3™), in stores across Australia.

With over 1200 cars available, brand new world-famous circuits to race such as Australia’s own Mount Panorama and improved physics for the tyre and suspension models, Gran Turismo 6 is the next step in the evolution of virtual racing.

To coincide with the games release, SCE Aust. and the City of Bathurst unveiled Gran Turismo Drive at Australia’s home of motorsport, Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit with the help of racing veteran and gamer, Shane Jacobson. The immortalisation of the franchise at the physical track is testament to painstaking process and detailed recreation of Mount Panorama in GT6.
