New penalty system for Gran Turismo 5: The Tire Grip
A new penalty system is apparently up in place for Gran Turismo 5. This was disclosed by MotorTrend editor, Peter Lyon, who was lucky enough to try out the latest demo of the game, including the Nurburgring GP circuit. The new system is called the “tire grip” and it sure sounds like it’s gonna pose a heck of a challenge for the racers.

The new system is called the “tire grip” and it sure sounds like it’s gonna pose a heck of a challenge for the racers.
“New features of the game include a tyre grip penalty which temporarily reduces grip if you go off the track and onto the grass or into the gravel. It takes around three to four corners to retain full grip again. Drivers will also feel like they are in the hot seat when they crash into a guard rail and sparks fly.”
Gran Turismo 5 is still not officially dated, although Costco says it’s gonna be out December 27, 2010. In the meantime, enjoy the new screenshots for GT5.
