Top Gear and Gran Turismo Join forces

Gran Turismo is the world's most famous racing video game series and has sold 47 million copies of the game. Gran Turismo has also introduced a digital TV channel which is available via the Playstation 3 online network. The TV channel will include news and features about motoring around the world

BBC Two's popular driving series Top gear is going to be a part of this new digital set up. Firstly 40 of Top Gears episodes will be available on the Gran Turismo TV channel. Secondly the show will be made virtual for the Gran Turismo 5th series. The tracks that were used by the Top Gear team will be recreated for the video game. This will put Top Gear and Gran Turismo Fans to the test as they drive the race track in hundreds of cars that have been licensed inside the game.

This combination is showing advanced technology within the digital world. Not only can digital TV be viewed via a Playstation but TV channels can be digitally transformed on to a virtual video game for fans to get involved.
