Polyphony Digital is taking Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo PSP on the road. Both games have been confirmed to be playable at next week's Tokyo Motor Show. They're also throwing in a few extras for attendees. Details after the jump.

  

We have introduced two modified cars (Peugeot Super 2000 and Citroen C2 Super 1600) from Sega Rally Revo's growing garage in our previous post, now meet the other members in the modified cars list: Grande Punto Rally S2000 and Toyota Celica VVTi.

The Grande Punto Rally is getting good marks on the Intercontinental Rally Challenge, and is quite competent in tackling various kinds of terrain - it's not strange to see a Grande Punto Rally in Sega Rally Revo sporting huge wheels for a road event, the switch to gravel spec wheels for the next safari event. It's that flexible. With its inherent good specs, there's nothing much on the Grande Punto that needs to be improved (it's still a prototype car), since apart from external changes such as roof mounted spoilers and front and rear bumper re-profiling, everything is fairly unchanged.

And then there's the Toyota Celica VVTi, chosen for its excellent tuning and modifications. The coupe features a fast front wheel drive that works well in road settings. As a bonus for this modified car, there is a special unlockable livery that features a certain Sega icon, probably the same as the livery 3 for the Citroen C2 as mentioned in the previous article.

Sega Rally Revo is up for release on PS3, Xbox 360, PC, PSP, and is also slated as a mobile game title. Do check out this space for more updates!

   

More evidence that consoles aren't just about overweight couch potatoes. Sony is announcing their presence for this year's upcoming Dew Action Sports Tour (aka AST Dew), via the PlayStation Experience, which is expected to be one of the tour's highlights. The PlayStation Experience will give visitors a chance to see some of the latest wares Sony has to offer for the PS3, PS2, and PSP.

Another event that's expected to make it big in the AST Dew tour is the PlayStation Trick of the Week. Here, fans select their favorite stunt/trick from the skateboard, BMX, and FMX sports categories via recorded footage, after which they're invited to vote online. This event kicks in at noon on the Monday following after each tour, and will last for an entire week. Each of the four Trick of the Week winning athletes will receive US$ 5,000. Winners for the Tour's of Trick of the Year will be awarded US$ 10,000 in cash, plus PlayStation-related loot.

Now, in case the guys here are wondering where AST Dew Tour 2007 is expected to take place, here's the list - new locations for this year include Baltimore, Cleveland, and Salt Lake City:  

• June 21 to 24: Panasonic Open (Baltimore, MD)
• July 19 to 22: Right Guard Open (Cleveland, OH)
• August 16 to 19: Vans Invitational (Portland, OR)
• September 20 to 23: Toyota Challenge (Salt Lake City, UT)
• October 18 to 21: PlayStation Pro (Orlando, FL)
  

As always, we advise the readership to keep posted in case this event gets updates.

Given the furor surrounding Gran Turismo HD, it's easy to forget that what we're getting is likely to be the greatest racing game ever made in the history of like... forever. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think they should gouge us either, and I don't think they will... but that's a story for another article. Right now, let's get down to admiring the exquisite modeling skills of the wizards at Polyphony Digital. We've got a number of powerhouses on show including the ever impressive Lotus Elise, the Subaru Impreza and the Eunos Roadster and the Toyota Celica. I'd buy that for a dollar! (Get it? Cus we'll have to because of the microtra... ah, never mind).
