News TeamVVV.com Weekly Racing News Episode 5: Greetings GT6
News
This week's news recap was unsurprisingly dominated by the release of the PS3's swansong racer Gran Turismo 6. We've got everything covered: from our own gameplay coverage over on our YouTube channel to all the latest Gran Turismo-related news on the site, including announcements from GT6's prestigeious launch event in Ronda, Spain.
That's not to say we've turned our attentions away from the fabulous Forza Motorsport 5, of course. Far from it: we covered the news that the controversial monetisation will be revised, James explained why the new racing line assist is one of Forza 5's most over-looked improvements and Alan finally got to drive the most expensive car in the game: the utterly terrifying Lotus E21 Formula One car.
Meanwhile, we also had the news that Ridge Racer will be returning in mobile form with the release of Ridge Racer: Slipstream later this month.
So sit back and recap on all the latest racing game news and activity on the TeamVVV.com website in episode 5 of our weekly round-ups. Links to all the content alluded to in the video can be found below.
