Sony has announced that Gran Turismo TV will be available from 1st August.

GT TV offers downloadable TV shows about cars via Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. There will be some free content as well as pay-per-view shows like Top Gear and D1 Grand Prix.

"This is the true beginning of Gran Turismo TV," said a gravelly voice over the Sony E3 conference trailer for the service.

Prices are yet to be established.
