Update Notice (1.06) - Feb 18, 2011

An update to Gran Turismo 5 has been released. The contents are as follows:

[Major Changes and New Features]

On the bottom left of the [GT Mode] - [Community] screen, [Remote Races] have been added.
You can combine the "My Driver" of you and your friends to start a fully automatic B-Spec race, to gain rewards and experience.
For details please see section 8-4 [Remote Races] in the [Manual] accessible from the top menu and also the new "Remote Race" page in the GT5 product information section on gran-tursimo.com.

・Remote Racing from a Web Browser
For [Remote Races], you can visit the official "gran-turismo.com" website using an internet web browser, and remotely operate your PS3® at home. You can start races, monitor its progress and check the results from the web site. This is a new playing style allowing you to play Gran Turismo anywhere!
Sign in from the [GT5 My Home] button on the upper right of the webpage to get started.

・Using the Course Maker in Online Races
You can now select the "My Tracks" created in [Course Maker] for your online races (Open Lobby, My Lounge), or even race on tracks automatically generated from a selected theme on the spot. (Please note you'll only be able to use My Courses created after this update in this way.)

The tire feature is not new...I don't think.

So what your saying is even though this update is very small it packs a big punch?:dopey:

*edit*Wait...I just realized something,you being sarcastic, correct?
 
Before starting a race you could select different types of tires for front and back from the options menu.
But you couldn't do it form the tuning menu, which is supposedly what was changed.


I don't see how that's really that much influential, it was fine going to Driving Options.
There's no reason to not have it that way, considering you could change everything else from the tuning menu.
 
LP= PP perfomance points.

Server here in germany is under maint. too, cant go online, but the mentioned adjustments are offline.

Exactly. It's just an old feature accessed from a new place. Kind of pointless expecially when you consider that it's more convenient to change tires from the options menu rather than the tuning shop.

I'd say that is pretty arguable. More than once I have set up a car to do a race but forgot to change the tires because I couldn't do so while I was setting up the car,
 
"Fredstar88 Junior Member Online Now!

cars that you've purchased already will have a blue tick in the dealership now, nice feature!

EDIT: this feature is present in both new and used dealerships"

Quoted from "GT5 Latest News & Discussion" Thread
 
Sorry... still not getting it. What's a performance point?
(seriously, I don't know)


Ah awesome!

Performance points for each car.

ie. a 300bhp weighing 1000kg will have a similar performace point rating as a 400bhp car weighing 1300kg. Think of it as a way of matching up cars in 2 player modes or for online racing to ensure the cars are equally matched. Almost like a rating for bhp per tonne.
 
UCD and Garage a few details changed like:

you see at ucd, if you already own a car.

Thank goodness.

I have 713 cars and it's a pain to search through my OpenOffice Spreadsheet to see what i have and what i don't have.

Ok. Cool. Thanks.
