Exciting news for Gran Turismo 5 players! U.S. GT producer Taku Imasaki has revealed GT 5′s real world data logging system will be available to players, most likely coinciding with the release of the Scion FR-S/Toyota 86 DLC next year.
A recent video of the data logger in action demonstrates its huge potential:
- Toyota GT-86 lap data being captured in the real world
- Real world lap data transferred into Gran Turismo via a USB stick
- Real world lap replayed in Gran Turismo (video example)
- Gran Turismo player can then chase the real world car in game
I’m looking forward to seeing how the data logger is packaged for player consumption. It looks to be a cool feature that further blurs the line between reality and sim, and arguably even PC vs console!
