News flash: after more than five years of development, Gran Turismo Sport is racing to retailers on October 17th.

If you're like me and a lot of 80's/90's kids, then you grew up on Gran Turismo. You can probably draw the entire route of Deep Forest Raceway on a piece of paper, name half the vehicles you see on the road because you spent dozens of hours shopping at virtual car lots, and rap the lyrics to Dogg's Turismo 3 with or without a beat.

But you probably aren't in the mood to spend $60 on a game this month, or maybe you don't even have a PS4. Whatever the case, a free demo of Gran Turismo Sport is arriving on October 9th, and you should probably check it out.

The demo will include bite-sized tastings of the game's Sport, Campaign, Arcade, Scapes Photography, and Custom Livery Editor modes, with a few car options that range from the Porsche 911 GT3 RS to the Nissan GT-R Premium Edition. In other words, it'll give you a good idea of whether or not to spend money on the game or have money to pay your electrical bill this month.

Gran Turismo has changed considerably since you last saw it. Gran Turismo Sport is pretty serious about online play, placing a lot of emphasis on its Gran Turismo Online Championship where players race for podium finishes while talking smack on their microphones.

There is a traditional campaign, though. It's here you can expect to see the game's gorgeous graphics, sound effects that don't sound like vacuum cleaners—seriously, Gran Turismo used to have horrible audio design—, and officially licensed Porsche vehicles for the series' first time ever (they had to use the RUF name before since EA had exclusive rights).

Also, the game will come with PSVR support out of the box. So, if you want to see what it's really like to smash into the bumper of 10 other cars on the first turn of a race, then here's your chance.
