Developer, Polyphony Digital's latest free update for its sim racing video game that went live on 18 December introduces two new Red Bull Cars. This update was done in collaboration with Infiniti Red Bull Racing, as a part of Red Bull X Challenge and includes 2013's Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel as a racing mentor. He teaches players the art of driving a formula one.
"I've been playing Gran Turismo since I was 12, so to appear in the game myself as a mentor is great. I hope everyone enjoys the game," said Sebastian Vettel.
This update gives players two of the four new Red Bull cars and the other two cars will be available in the game's future updates. These cars were designed in collaboration with Adrian Newery, chief technical officer with Red Bull F1. Apart from these, players will also get 'Red Bull Racing Kart' and 'Red Bull X2014 Junior'. Another future update will introduce Red Bull X2014 Standard and Fan cars.
"We are very grateful to Adrian Newey, Sebastian Vettel and Infiniti Red Bull Racing for providing this special gift for Gran Turismo fans. To be taught how to drive downforce cars by the best racing driver in the world is very special and the new Red Bull X2014 cars are another exciting addition to Gran Turismo 6. This is the latest update for the game and there are more to come," said Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital in a press release (via Autoblog).
