December 6th is right around the corner, and Sony’s biggest title of the year Gran Turismo 6 sees another major announcement. To add to already big list of features for the 15th Anniversary in the series upcoming title, developer Polyphony Digital and SCEA have officially revealed the addition of the legendary Bathurst Circuit set in Australia. Earlier this year, we saw an announcement during the GT Academy events for the Silverstone Circuit, but Bathurst is something rare in gaming for developers to properly create the 4-mile long map. Located in New South Wales, we’ll be returning back to Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit for GT6.
After the jump, you can watch the official map trailer, which an official event will be held next Thursday, October 10th for the “Bathurst 1000” race.

“We are very pleased to be able to include Bathurst in our expanded selection of race tracks available in Gran Turismo,” 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. It seems only right that the legendary Mount Panorama circuit is included as fans will now have a chance to drive one of the toughest tracks out there. Described by some as Australia’s very own Nürburgring, this is a formidable track that will provide an exciting new challenge for PlayStation gamers.”
