A bit of information has popped up in the Gran Turismo 5: Prologue news section about the first international online race event. Beginning on Thursday, June 26, you will be able to race up to 12 other players from anywhere in the world on the High Speed Ring circuit. This represents, finally, a step forward in the development of the online racing environment. All of the current online events limit you to competitors from your local region/continent, and it is good to see that Polyphony are ready to push the boundaries of the functionality of their software. Also, it brings hope that when we are able to create private races, we won’t have any limitations on who we choose to compete with. This international event trial will end on July 3rd, so don’t waste any time if you want to try it out - head over to our Gran Turismo 5 Prologue forum to meet up with the best racers every country has to offer.
