Another month, another [free *Gran Turismo Sport* update](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/21174/gran-turismo-sport-gets-le-mans-and-nine-new-cars-in-free-may-update>). For the month of August, *GT Sport* is getting a total of eight new cars and a brand new track: the Red Bull Ring.

Located in Styria, Austria, the circuit is a 2.7-mile, high-speed course that plays host to the [so-called "Mario Kart-style" Austrian Grand Prix](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/21856/f1-drivers-wary-of-mario-kart-style-drs-zones-at-the-austrian-grand-prix>). (Don't worry, Vettel, there are no magic mushrooms in this video game.) The Red Bull Ring has also served as a venue for a couple of Rolling Stones concerts, an AC/DC gig, and a Bon Jovi show. *Gran Turismo* players, however, likely won't be staging any rock concerts since they'll be too busy trying to best Lewis Hamilton's qualifying time in the F1 champ's 2017 Mercedes [added to the game in last month's update](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/22496/you-can-now-drive-lewis-hamiltons-f1-car-in-gran-turismo-sport>).

As for gameplay enhancements, three new singleplayer events have been added: "Beetle & Samba Bus Festa" focuses on vintage VWs, "Nostalgic 1979" is reserved for racing cars made before—you guessed it—1979, while "Group 3 Cup" requires players to master the game's "Gr.3" grade of race cars.

Other additions include a new Museum section for [Zagato](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/15500/zagatos-new-isorivolta-vision-gran-turismo-unveiled>), new photo mode "Scapes" taken in Cuba and a Circuit Experience mode for the game's fantasy Saint-Croix track added last month.

*Gran Turismo Sport* is available now for PlayStation 4.
