Gran Turismo Sport Update 1.13 Released; New Cars and Layouts Revealed with Screenshots and Videos

Today Polyphony Digital released update 1.13 of Gran Turismo Sport. It’s already available for download on the PSN, and it weighs 2.698 gigabytes.

The update includes three new events for the GT League feature. The Beginner League gets Stars & Stripes, the Amateur League gets the Vision Gran Turismo Trophy, and the Professional League receives the F1500 Championship.

In addition to that, new rounds will be added to the Sunday Cup (rounds 6 and 7), the Clubman Cup (round 6), the Premium Sports League (rounds 4 and 5), and the Porsche Cup (round 2).

As previously teased, we’re also getting twelve new cars:

Alpine A110 1600 S ’72 (N 100)
Alpine A110 Première Édition ’17 (N 300)
Audi R 8 4.2 FSI R tronic ’07 (N 400)
De Tomaso Pantera ’71 (N 300)
Dodge Challenger R/T ’70 (N 400)
Ford Mustang Mach 1 ’71 (N 300)

Subaru Falken Tire/Turn 14 Distribution BRZ ’17 (Gr.X)
Toyota SUPRA 3.0 GT Turbo A ’88 (N 300)
Toyota MR 2 GT-S ’97 (N 200)

That’s not all, as the update also includes two infield variations for the Blue Moon Bay Speedway track, and their reverse versions.

As usual, the patch notes on PS4 are very curt, but there is more than that. For instance, now it’s possible to select different times of day in the virtual reality feature.
