Gran Turismo 6 gets the Goodwood Hill Climb course

Sony has announced the addition of the Goodwood Hill Climb to the massive list of courses in Gran Turismo 6.

Described as the centerpiece of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, this 1.86km Hill Climb will be available as a playable demo for the 185,000-plus attendees at this year's event. The demo will include a "range of stunningly recreated cars to race up the virtual version of "the Hill."

"I have always been a huge admirer of the Festival of Speed and what Lord March has achieved," said Polyphony Digital President and legendary creator of Gran Turismo, Kazunori Yamauchi. "I love the incredible range of cars on display – from the priceless, rare and exotic, to the latest family hatchback and full on racing cars – I love the challenge of the Hill Climb and the rally stage.

"Goodwood represents every type of motoring and motor sport which very much mirrors what we aim to achieve with Gran Turismo and so it is very special that we have forged this partnership. There will be no better feedback than that provided by the Goodwood fans to tell me if we are heading in the right direction with Gran Turismo 6!"
