A new Gran Turismo Sport update is being rolled out. It adds offline modes, three new cars, improved physics simulation, and more.

Here’s the official rundown of the main features that have been implemented:

1. New Cars

　- In line with the changes to the physics simulation model, the difficulty level of the Driving School and Mission Challenges events have been adjusted;
