hought I saw Polyphony chief, Kazunori Yamauchi walking around. I kept starring at a man in a red shirt just outside the media center. It turns out that it was Yamauchi-san. We took a quick opportunity talk to him for a brief second and ask him about GT4. He's still working on it and he still doesn't have his Ford GT, he'll get it in October.
We were later told by a JGTC rep that Sony was at the event to have a Nissan test driver play GT4 against Kazunori. This would take place around 1pm. We know he's a huge racing fan, but with the game's release so close, we didn't expect to find him at the track. It was a very good surprise.
The time came to head over to the GT4 demo area and indeed Kazunori-san was at the GT4 demo area with a Nissan test driver, Satoshi Motoyama. Some of the GT4 team was also present, with Beta cams, filming Kazunori as he walked around and interviewed the driver. Surely, this footage will not only be used for reference purposes, but will also appear in the game as bonus footage or possibly part of the ending sequence.

). It probably costs around 20.000$
