Gran Turismo Sport's 1.23 update is out, bringing with it new cars, a new track, and helmet decals, but it's also brought along a new way to buy certain cars directly from the PlayStation Store using real cash.

The cash for cars option is being rolled out at different times depending on your region. It'll be available in the Asia Region and Americas Region today, July 30, and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Region and Oceania region on August 2.

At the time of writing the only car that is visible to buy on the PlayStation Store is the Alpine Vision Gran Turismo 2017. This has a price of $2.99. The GT Sport website also shows the Mercedes-AMG GT S '15 with a price of $0.99. All cars available to buy for GT Sport on the PlayStation Store can also be bought in-game using Cr.

GT Sport's July 1.23 update will also give players the option to add decals to suits and helmets, plus provide access to eight new cars (including the Mercedes F1) and a new 'Circuit de Sainte-Croix' track.
