On the 8th of March 2017, at the TAG Heuer booth at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show, it was announced that TAG Heuer would be the official timekeeper for Gran Turismo Sport. TAG Heuer will appear as the official timekeeper and official watch of Gran Turismo Sport in all areas of the game, and TAG Heuer’s Live Timing technology will be used to provide players with an experience that’s just the same as real motor racing.
TAG Heuer has a long history of partnerships with some of the greatest legends in motorsports, and Gran Turismo Sport is attempting to redefine the next century in the history of motorsports. Please enjoy a small selection of images, designed to represent the worldview envisaged by this collaboration.
A new batch of screenshots has also been released today. You can find them below.
Last month, we managed to get a glimpse of Gran Turismo Sport running on PlayStation 4 Pro thanks to off-screen videos taken at the Taipei Game Show. All the enhancements have yet to be detailed in full, but more on the matter will surely come as we get closer to the game's release date.
Gran Turismo Sport was supposed to launch last year, but the game eventually got delayed so that the team didn't have to compromise the experience in any way. A new release date has yet to be confirmed.
