Episodes of Clarkson, Hammond, and May (not to mention the Stig) set to feature on Gran Turismo TV...
BBC Worldwide and Polyphony Digital have today confirmed a deal that will see 40 episodes of the BBC's immensely popular Top Gear available to download via PlayStation Network from 2008. In addition to watching the shenanigans of Messrs. Clarkson, Hammond, and May, GT TV will include the latest motoring news from around the world.
In return, the deal will also see Gran Turismo 5 feature in the Test Track spot in the show next year. A virtual version of the track featuring Gambon corner will be included in the full version of GT5.
Speaking about the deal, Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi commented: "We at Polyphony are great fans of the world's best motoring programme, Top Gear, so we're delighted to be collaborating with BBC Worldwide to deliver Top Gear content via Gran Turismo."
Simon Danker, Director, Digital Media, BBC Worldwide commented, "BBC Top Gear is the world's number one motoring media brand and we're thrilled to make it accessible to Gran Turismo gamers. We continue to explore different avenues to share our content with an expanding audience, and are delighted to participate with Polyphony Digital in the launch of this exciting new opportunity."
The driving sim franchise has previously featured on the TV show, with Jeremy Clarkson comparing his times on the real world Laguna Seca and the virtual version of the US track.
Today's deal is certainly impressive given the prolonged time it's taken Microsoft to sort out content for the still to be launched Xbox Live Video Marketplace in the UK...
