Stunt arenas and karting, eh? Well, given the physics heavy nature of Gran Turismo, stunt mode is hardly likely to be jumping over buses and dodging rings of fire – no, we reckon we’ll be seeing Gymkhana, the sort of hardcore drifting and ‘stunt’ driving favoured by the likes of Ken Block in which drivers pull off ridiculously long slides, spins and parking maneuvers.
Of course, this is just our assumption, but given the structured gymkhana scene in Japan (and a gymkhana track in Gran Turismo 4) it’s certainly the most likely. And if it’s not this, then I’d still bet my hat it’s not going to be anything like Joe Danger. Shame, really, I’d love to plunge a 600hp Japanese sportscar into a pool of piranhas but it’s not going to happen.

Unreal … That poor car actually sounds like it’s in pain! Be amazing if that’s really what the stunt arena means …
bajere
sounds great! id like that dock yard in there. also some good trophy’s to match so we have some thing to aim for!!
only thing id like to know, is how much is all this going to cost… i mean, if that crap MW2 could charge £55 then how much is GT5 going to cost with all these features!?!?

Gratuitous excuse for awesome gymkhana vid. No complaints here :)
Grey_Ghost13
agree! any excuse to see Ken Block and his amazing car control skills. If it is this and the youtube upload option this game is getting loaded with better and better features!
gybrocker
wow this guy is awsome…

Fantastic video. Let’s hope this kind of stunt driving makes it in to the game!

I hope your right, I cannot see how else they would implement “stunt” driving into GT.

btw this guy tried his hand at WRC and failed.

You can’t be the best in everything but at least he tryed.
cam the man
He was also on Top Gear a while ago.

He didn’t fail, granted he didn’t do well, but he was only on for 2 maybe 3 rounds of the WRC. This guy is an amazing driver, I’ve been following him for a few years now. On the Rally America circuit it’s either him or Travis Pastrana on the top step of the podium. Both will be in WRC in the next few years and dominating as well.

Er i think you’ll find they are DC shoes mate…perhaps you should of watched the vid ;-)
B1GbOnG

rabi_dave
Ken Block is the Co-Founder of DC Shoes, hence the DC advert

DC make some sweet trainers

If you didn’t watch that because of the DC shoes connection, you just mugged yourself. It is an epic video
Product placement is everywhere anyway. Look at all the billboards and stuff in GT4. It’s in real racing so it’s just more authentic to have it in game anyway
jonny_bolton
That was absolutely incredible…also I really want those green DCs.

Is this the same guy who was on Top Gear a couple of seasons ago, when they where racing around an air field in the desert?
Manorhowze
Yep, thats the one.

Arrgh! It’s SERIES, not season! We are not Americans.
Sorry, it’s one of my (many/disproportionate) pet peeves
rht992
yes and it was one of the most epic things i have ever seen to this day on tv

I love DC shoes. There was something about cars In the video but that got in the way of the DC lovelyness.
dirtyhabit
