Gran Turismo Sport adds Circuit de la Sarthe and more cars

Now included in Gran Turismo Sport is the famous Circuit de la Sarthe, which has been added in a recent update ahead of the Le Mans 24-Hour.

The track is the home to the 24-hours long WEC race, which sees several categories of endurance racers hit the track all at once.

In addition to the track being added to the game, several cars have been included in the update, two of which were once seen at the famous French circuit, and another being closely related to a Le Mans racer.

The three Group C cars are the 1988 Jaguar XJR-9, the 1989 Sauber Mercedes C9, and the 1992 Nissan R92CP.

While the XJR-9 and C9 both won the Le Mans 24-Hour, in 1988 and 1989 respectively, the Nissan R92CP is best known for dominating the 1992 All Japan Sports Prototype Championship.

However, the car is built on the basis of a Le Mans competitor from a couple of years prior, the R90C, which competed and came 5th in the 1990 24-Hour.

The other cars which added to Gran Turismo Sport this time around are the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR from 1996, Renault’s current-gen Clio RS and its 2011 Mégane Trophy racer, a Lambo Miura P400 Bertone, and even a Fiat 500 F from 1968.

The Subaru BRZ ‘S’ has also been added, though the Toyota 86 was already available in the game.

A few new race series have also been added in GT League, the game’s single-player mode, including a hot-hatch championship and a Lamborghini Cup.

Players are now also able to see their local ranking, and use new locations in the ‘Scapes’ photography mode.
