I am an exuberant fan of the Gran Tursimo series and also a big fan of its creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Besides introducing the world to GT, being fully involved with the development of the Nissan R35 GT-R, and being allowed to model Ferrari's 2007 F1 car, he was a guest at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Kaz was a judge at the show and was there to award the Polyphony Digital Trophy to a deserving car.

This event rises above just video games as this the ultimate classic car event and only the greatest cars win here.

Besides being a guest of the event, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi was an honorary judge.

Just like always this is not an automatic sign that Lamborghini will be in GT5 but it shows that it is more likely.
