This installment of Gran Turismo isn’t just a race online and see who has the best times kind of game, Gran Turismo Sport is a project developed to see how much more the team can bring to online competitive racing. Two rating systems have been implemented to ensure equal matchmaking for players, the Sportsmanship and Driver Ratings. Sportsmanship Rating is the evaluation of your behaviour on the track, while your Driver Rating will track your performance as a racer. These will tie into your racer profile online which can be checked on your overview page, which will give readings for your ratings and other stats. The beta will be available for US & EU PSN IDs only, and servers will be open at certain times as to accommodate the teams’ hours in Tokyo as they monitor and administrate the event.
