Gran Turismo 5 is gearing up to include Top Gear's famous test track as one of the playable maps. This is old news to fans who were following the game's development way back in 2007, but it's only become "official" to an extent now.
Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi and his team recently visited the track and photographed it from both the ground and air, presumably to ensure the in-game replica is a close to its real life counterpart as possible.
Of course, Mr. Yamauchi was hardly going to visit the track and send his team there for four days without having a go on it himself. He told the Top Gear website, “I tried driving it myself, but it’s really hard to find the driving line. It’s so wide that it becomes difficult to find markers and visual points. It was only after I sat with the Stig as a passenger that I finally realised where all the turn-in points and the correct driving lines were.”
Unfortunately Yamauchi did not get a chance to drive the reasonably priced car, and will not feature as a contestant on the segment in the show's upcoming 15th season.
