'Gran Turismo Sport' Update Now Live With 12 New Cars

A new update is now live for "Gran Turismo Sport" adding new cars, campaign events, and track layouts for the PlayStation exclusive. Also introduced are new features in the racing sim's Sports Mode aimed at improving balance.

As detailed in the game's official patch notes, Sports Mode will now disqualify drivers who rack up too many collisions and shortcuts. Players can now also submit grief reports for "misconduct of other users."

Additionally, players who lag behind the race by over a lap will now have their vehicles "ghosted." In this state, they will still be able to race except that they are no longer subject to collision. This allows them to catch up to the leaders without fear of lagging further behind.
