Not to be outdone by Microsoft’s Xbox360 and Turn 10 with Forza Motorsport III, Sony offered up some teaser footage of Gran Turismo 5 today during their Playstation3 press conference at the 2009 E3 Expo. Unlike Microsoft though, Sony still hasn’t given us any indication of when Gran Turismo 5 will actually ship.

Given that Polyphony Digital seems to have acquired official licensing from the WRC and NASCAR, I will probably be in a retirement home before this game actually reaches store shelves. Still, the teaser trailer is highly impressive and gives those of us who love racers (regardless of what platform they are on) a little something to smile about.
