Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc.
Hello GT fans!
We are extremely excited at Polyphony to announce the Gran Turismo Sport Closed BETA. BETA participants will get a sneak peek at how the Gran Turismo will pave the future of racing, competing in highly competitive races against other users across the country, and eventually, across the globe.
The initial phase of the closed BETA, starting on 17th of March, will only be open to selected US PSN IDs.Source: http://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/00_5876374.html (http://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/00_5876374.html)
As with most BETA programs, in order for the development team to capture data in an optimal manner, the sample size needs to be increased gradually and in stages. While we begin to roll out the BETA, we have decided that the time differences across the U.S. are best matched to the development team in Tokyo.
During the initial phase, our servers will be open for users during specific times across the day. We will share these times closer to the BETA launch across our social channels and GT.com.

Which is kind of weirdly shocking to me! Finally, we're getting some awesome sounding replays. Guess hiring that Forza dev is paying dividends. https://youtu.be/-m2_wjtZfzA (https://youtu.be/-m2_wjtZfzA) Still has some issues and it doesn't sound like all cars have gotten the improved sounds just yet, but this is miles beyond the last beta at expos. Great stuff.dat backfire soundMcLaren 650S GT3
Maybe I'm missing something but GT Sport to me is the by far worst sounding from those three comparison videos you posted. Also no windshield reflection in GT Sport? Bad!! (no but seriously, hope that's still added later on.)Well one is real, other what is considered the more accurate for this car in games and the last is GT Sport.

(no but seriously, hope that's still added later on.)You could be right but it's hard to tell with the music volume at around the same volume as the engine volume.
Gif too bigSpoiler for Large GIF:
New wave of Beta invitations.Are they inviting people from South America?

Phase 1 is only US.That sucks! Europe has always supported Gran Turismo more.
You will get a notification on PS4.
That sucks! Europe has always supported Gran Turismo more.A game being made by a Japanese studio, supported more by Europe, gets beta access in North America first. Don't try to figure this out.
A game being made by a Japanese studio, supported more by Europe, gets beta access in North America first. Don't try to figure this out.They said that running the beta in NA first best coincides with the teams working hours for patches and things like that

They said that running the beta in NA first best coincides with the teams working hours for patches and things like thatThat's highly unbelievable
Probably has something to do with trumpIt says it in the quote in the OP. They might be lying but it's the line they've gone with
That's highly unbelievable
It says it in the quote in the OP. They might be lying but it's the line they've gone withI'd say that it being easier to roll out a beta in one huge country than lots of more little ones has something to do with it also. I'm not really sure how developers monitor betas though.
OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!I thought you were never going to get it ;D

As the BETA begins to increase in size, those who have signed up within the PlayStation Europe forum or received a direct e-mail will be selected to participate in Phase 2 of the closed BETA. Spaces will be limited so, if you don't get into Phase 2, make sure you stay tuned for future BETA activities in the run-up to launch!I read on twitter they are starting the Phase 2.

I really hope the delay is because they included a campaign mode. If there is no campaign mode they will lose a ton of sales.Beta actually has a Campaign option but only Sport (the ranked online mode) and Arcade (last patch disabled the Arcade) are enabled.
OMG Interlagos.Sweet! Interlagos is a great circuit
