Fanatec utannonserar samarbete med Playstation & Gran Turismo

Tyska simracingjätten Fanatec har precis meddelat att de inlett ett samarbete med Sony samt Gran Turismo-studion Polyphony Digital vilket naturligtvis innebär Gran Turismospecifika rattmodeller samt pedaler, inför lanseringen av det sjunde spelet i serien. Fanatec har vid flera tillfällen den senaste månaden hintat om en kommande produkt kompatibel med PS4/PS5 eftersom nysläppta CSL DD inte kan kopplas ihop med Sonys konsoler, och nu vet vi alltså vad de syftade på.

Thomas Jackermeier, Fanatec:
"For many years, Kazunori Yamauchi has pushed the limits on the software side and played a massive role in making sim racing popular. Now we have joined forces with the shared goal to continue to merge virtual and real-world racing together. We have several exciting projects in the pipeline and I can't wait to see how they perform in Gran Turismo."

Kazunori Yamauchi,Polyphony Digital:
"For many years, Fanatec has been one of the outstanding companies on the leading edge of simulation hardware technology. While the quality and performance of their products is impressive, it's their desire to innovate in motorsports that resonates with us the most. Polyphony Digital and Fanatec share this same spirit and long-term ambition, and I'm really excited about what we can create together."

Produkterna som detta nya samarbete kommer att resultera i, får vi kika närmare på senare i sommar som det ser ut.
