Kazunori Yamauchi, the creator of the Gran Turismo franchise, is announcing that the upcoming sixth game in the series will get some exclusive racing events featuring legendary Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna.

The new content will be delivered via online updates after launch and it is possible due to a new partnership between the studio, publisher Sony and Ayrton Senna Institute, led by the driver’s sister.

The NGO aims to improve the education of children in Brazil and has influenced the lives of more than 17 million since it was launched in 1994, according to the PS Blog.

Ayrton Senna is probably the best known Formula 1 driver, renowned for his skill behind the wheel and his open personality.

The special Gran Turismo 6 levels will probably allow gamers to race against the legend in a variety of events.

The racing title will be out on December 6 exclusively on the PlayStation 3.
