Gran Turismo Sport:
What Are The Opportunities for Your Small Business?
Its Time to Take The Wheel
Gran Turismo Sport Opportunities For Small Business: Gran Turismo Sport has changed Virtual Reality gaming and given the general public a whole new way to interact with some of the biggest brands in the world. This is no game for kids anymore and the older generation have fallen in love with this racing simulator.
The online championship will inevitably blossom into a serious eSport and you could be a world championship racer in the comfort of your own home.
So, does this provide an opportunity for an eco-system of small businesses? Yes, is the simple answer.
A deep, rich VR experience
A deep, rich VR experienceThe reviews of the game speak for themselves. This is a totally immersive driving simulator that goes well beyond a game. When you slip on the VR headset then you become a part of the action at the Nurburgring, Willow Springs Parkway and other iconic tracks.
You also get the sound, speed and real driving dynamics of a LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and serious racing cars from around the world.
Suddenly, a button-based controller pulls you out of the fantasy. It just isn’t good enough. You need a steering wheel, racing seat and pedals to truly make the most of this new world.
That’s where Thrustmaster comes in, with a range of steering wheel and pedal sets to suit every budget. The range-topping T-GT was created for Gran Turismo Sport, it’s officially licensed and it’s an absolute beast.
The T-GT is built around T-DFB technology that gives increased feedback through the steering column and leather-wrapped wheel. You’ll feel every nuance of the track surface as you go wheel-to-wheel with your rival to the apex. That takes you deeper into the game, which makes you a better racer.
The 40 Watt, brushless force feedback motor can produce the powerful snaps through the wheel you feel in a car when you hit the kerb, or a change in the track surface.
Feel what’s happening through the wheel
Feel what’s happening through the wheelYou can literally feel the car understeering, or the back stepping out, through the wheel. Field Oriented Control systems mean the wheel placement and reaction is far more accurate, too, so you’ll get a real response to your steering inputs.
Pair this wheel with the GT Edition pedal set and you’ll get incredible feel and the last degree of car control. If you want the full-bore experience, too, you can invest in the separate six-speed manual gearbox and a racing seat. You can truly be at one with the car.
Of course, the peripheral components are just the start. This a serious racing simulator, which means we can have one-make championships and the best racing the best on a daily basis.
So, we can look forward to sponsorship deals, driver coaching from the likes of Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton and the best racers will develop their own following on Twitch, Youtube and other platforms.
A community is already forming
We can look forward to forums, websites devoted to this new form of racing and a whole community. That’s exciting for the brands, as they have a portal to take their potential customers into a VR world, where the only real limit is their imagination.
Mercedes-Benz has already launched its official Gran Turismo Sport driving events and there will be many more that bring this virtual world to life.
It isn’t easy to get the Gran Turismo seal of approval. The game designers famously studied car dynamics for years to create the perfect game. If you have the license, it means that you’ve shown the same dedication to a perfect product.
So rest assured, the Thrustmaster T300 is the steering wheel you need to make the most of your Gran Turismo Sport experience. And rest assured, there’s a lot more to come from this VR universe and you want to be a part of it.
