GT5 will now be the focus of the Polyphony Digital development team. Most of this development time seems to be spent simply in nailing down deals with automobile companies keen to be part of the series.

A couple of things still not clear are the actual planned release date, which has to - happily for fans - come forward, now that resources have been redirected, and whether the game will feature car damage.  In the past, car manufacturers have been reluctant to sign a license to game developers if it means seeing their beloved creations harmed, even in a virtual way.

Times have changed, and most racing simulators now feature dents and all pursuits - GT really ought to follow suit to keep up with the likes of Forza Motorsport  et al.
