English summary

Polyphony Bringing New “Made From Reality” Nürburgring Documentary to Gamescom 2016

With the doors set to open at the Koelnmesse in Cologne in only two days (three for the general public), Polyphony has revealed its plans for the event. Leading the charge is a newly-released video detailing Kazunori Yamauchi’s exploits at the Nürburgring 24H race earlier this year behind the wheel of the Walkenhorst BMW M6 GT3.

“Made From Reality” takes us behind the scenes of the event, and the immense levels of preparation that goes into an attack on the Green Hell. While the video is light on details relating to GT Sport, it nonetheless offers a fascinating look at the team dynamic in the Walkenhorst garage. Kazunori believes the M6 ran the race with more sensors than any other car, as the team would glean info from real-time to feed directly into the game.

Of particular note is the glowing statements about night driving. Yamauchi’s co-drivers discuss how the fans bring the circuits to life at night via lights and flares. Matias Henkola, co-driver of the #101 PlayStation car, says “the things that you see out of the windscreen, it’s like out of a movie.” With night racing yet to be seen in GT Sport, we’re curious to see how this unique atmosphere will be captured in-game.

Henkola also calls Yamauchi one of his “childhood heroes”, recounting how he played the first game for hours on end when it first released almost two decades ago. Last month, he outed the M6 GT3 as one of the cars included in GT Sport, and this video confirms the car is indeed in, with a demonstration playing behind Kazunori as early as 0:37 in the video (hat tip to Nico_Ble99 for first catching it).
