Well I guess we'll know if this website and source is reliable in a few days. Why would Sony create a competing IP to Gran Turismo though? If they make it more like Motorstorm then I could see it succeeding, but not if it is a simulator.

It doesn't have to be a competing IP.

As you said, you prefer arcade racers to sim racers, and PGR was more arcade than simulator (although it had very good physics), so both games could complement each other rather than compete.

Also, development time for Gran Turismo games takes too long, so it's a good idea to have another racing game to fill the voids. Therefore, if this is a launch game, don't expect the next GT in another 1 or 2 years at least.
