Unveiled at this year's mega geek-fest that is E3 in California, the world finally got a taste of what the latest instalment to the GT series looks like. And to us, it looks very Stig-shaped and TopGear-sized - yep, we're in it.

Our world-famous Lotus-designed Dunsfold test track makes a star appearance in GT5, with Captain Stiggy showing the world why he sucks the moisture from ducks and has two sets of knees. It is simply to power his insatiable appetite for oversteer.

GT5 is set for a November 2010 release date, and we feel very much excited by this prospect. So excited in fact, we may need to go and change...

Don't forget - we caught up with Gran Turismo creator and all-round gaming god Kazunori-san at Snetterton. Read the interview here
