Polyphony Digital has released the next update for their Gran Turismo 6 title, introducing a brand new track editor.

Unlike the editor in Gran Turismo 5, the new version of the track-creating tool is now tablet-based, allowing GT6 gamers to use their Android or Apple tables to create new tracks for Gran Turismo 6.

Players can choose from one of four basic location settings, allowing them to create tracks with full control over the track’s shape, width and even banking of corners. Other options include the ability to place trackside objects such as trees, buildings and other details around the track.

How To Get Going With The Gran Turismo 6 Track Editor

  • Install the Track Path Editor on your tablet device. It???s available in the??Apple App Store(iOS 7+ required) and the??Google Play store??(Android 4.1+ required). Note that the app may not be available in all regions just yet ??? if you don???t see it, just keep checking back.
  • Create track data using the Track Path Editor. Using the ???Eifel Flat??? location, you have the option to import photographs of track maps which you can use to help you trace existing roads and circuits. Raw GPX/KML data can also be imported from compatible GPS devices.
  • Transfer the track you???ve created into Gran Turismo 6.
  • Load the track data using the Track Path Importer.
  • Test drive every section of the track using the Track Path Importer.
  • Save the track as a user-created track.
  • Use the track in Arcade Mode or in the Community area.

Other changes introduced by the 1.21 Update:

  • Penalties have been disabled in ???Free Run??? mode.
  • With the addition of the ???GT6 Track Path Editor???, the maximum length of best lap replays that can be loaded in the Data Logger has been set to 20 minutes.
  • The engine sounds of certain cars have been improved.
  • ???GT Academy 2015??? has been removed from the [SPECIAL EVENTS] section in accordance to the end of the Online Qualifier period.
