Master the Nürburgring GP track with Lewis Hamilton
Also dropping today, we’re excited to introduce the first of our Lewis Hamilton mentor videos, as Lewis takes to the Nürburgring GP circuit. Never before has a four-time world champion sat down and offered such detailed insight into their driving technique and philosophy.
This latest update provides two videos; a standard and extended version, both of which are packed with tips and practical advice that will help you become a better racer. Both videos provide a real insight into how Lewis races – from how he selects his racing lines and braking points, to his general racing philosophy that guides how he tackles every circuit. It was an honor to sit down with Lewis at the peak of his career and get a better understanding of what makes him tick. Nothing like this has been captured before, and I believe this will provide useful insight for GT fans and future generations of racers.
Both videos can be found in the Lewis Hamilton section of the Brand Central area. Here’s a peek:
Stay tuned to the Gran Turismo website, as well as the GT Facebook page, to ensure you’re up-to-date with the latest news.
From everyone at Polyphony Digital, happy holidays and a happy new year!
Nice.
No more VR content?
More VR would be nice, but I personally want to see them add a patch for Stereoscopic 3D for the entire game just as GT5 and GT6 had. Now THAT would be an awesome treat, especially since the PS4 Pro could easily support it with 30fps in 4k or 30fps solid in 1080p! Please make it happen Polyphony Digital! Until then I’m sticking with GT6 in 3D on my beautiful 65″ Panasonic Plasma 3DTV set, and my 65″ Sony 4K 3DTV set with HDR support.
I’m like 95% positive that they have to do 60-120fps to do 3D. Depending on the technology you have to have 30frames per second to each eye alternating based on the filtering technique. But there might be cheats, or maybe it’s not as intensive, or they can double the frames up or something. I think with another form of 3D they interlace it, so you only really get half the resolution which is probably around 800pish I guess cause if I remember right 720p is 1/4 of the pixel count of 1080p.
It’s complicated, I’m not a developer, maybe 3D will make a comeback on the PS5, and here’s hoping the PS5 is like a pro version of the PS4 pro, and we can play GT Sport on the 5, with enhancements.
