Not to be outdone by Forza Motorsport 5's recent announcement, developer Polyphony Digital has revealed that the upcoming Gran Turismo 6 will also feature the iconic Australian motorsport circuit, Bathurst.

Gran Turismo 6 will bring Bathurst to life in living rooms around the world. With Polyphony Digital’s legendary attention to detail when recreating a location, and next generation technology making the 3D model rendering better than ever, the result is a virtual carbon - copy of the Bathurst track, which will make the gaming experience truly absorbing for all who experience it.

"We are very pleased to be able to include Bathurst in o ur expanded selection of race tracks available in Gran Turismo 6 ," said Kazunori Yamauchi, the Gran Turismo creator and President of Polyphony Digital Inc. "Since its inception 15 years ago, Gran Turismo has listened to fan feedback and added extra features so that we now offer 1200 cars and 33 circuits from all across the world . I t seems only right that the legendary Mount Panorama circuit is included as fans will now have a ch ance to drive one of the toughest tracks out there. Described by some as Australia’s very own N ü rburgring, this is a formidable track that will provide an exciting new challenge for PlayStation gamers."

Take a look at the Mount Panorama Track in-game in the trailer and screenshots below.

Gran Turismo 6 is due on PlayStation 3 on December 6 2013.
