Wow soooooo many trolls, how bout y’all whingers take a decent size cup of shut the f%^k up with a bowl of concrete and harden the f^%k up. There is a new track available tomorrow (and cars and other content)…….SPA bitches. I am overjoyed. No matter what you do there is always those that are gonna hate. If you’re so unhappy with this go design your own game and outdo PD….please go right ahead. But I’m a pony up my 12 clams (that’s pay 12 dollars) and get this and have another amazing outlet to race my growing stable of cars. You can’t satisfy everyone but you can can please a bulk of the population and that’s what I think PD has done. Lets put the big boy pants on or the big girls blouse on if you’re female and get over it.

Make sure to pick out a foam “special needs” skull hat to go with your big boy pants. Might save whats left of your brain.
8-20% premium price for 1-2% more content = bad math where your game just costs more for less. Not to mention the prologue was 2/3 the price of a full game for a third of the content. I am sure there are enough virtual world content fiends that don’t get it or don’t care, but the opposite side of this debate is for smart peeps with an opinion of their own. Each batch of DLC from now on only pushes the game even further past the $100 mark. or $72 if u skipped the prologue. Another one at Holiday for the next track etc etc etc.
Less content for More money sucks always. That opinion is seldom going to get support on such a heavily biased marketing tool as GTP, but thats OK. As long as it’s seen. -

hahahaahahahaha, good to see u came out from under the bridge, don’t give me that smart peeps bs son, you live in the past and obviously lack the intelligence to comprehend the marketplace of the video game industry as it stands in 2011, I don’t like paying either but it is what it is. Thanks for the maths as well capt. obvious now you can fix the GFC while your at it with you ecconomics degree. Better keep that foam “special needs” skully for yourself. Anyways thanks for your imput and say hi to your mum, sister, wife & daughter for me I’ll be makin the rounds again soon xo sweetheart

How about the give us new cars, by that I mean cars that are not race modded versions of vehicles that we already have…….. Or at least premium versions of popular standard cars……

Dude +20 for the idea i’m sure they would add new American cars, Australian, whatever u name it! Like a Ferrari 599FXX, the new Ferrari GTO, Corvette Stingray 2009, or even maybe just maybe the new Lamborghini Reventon and Sesto Elemento :D

the stig looks gay in that pic, and spa well its already in all F1 games and most of you are exited about driving an F1 car around the track so why the big hurrah ! ?

Because it is simple…GT5= 1000+ cars to drive in there…and 2nd the level of detail of the entire track is just incredible compared with the rest of the racing games in the entire market. Enough for me and many more.
I have Spa in: rFactor (PC) , GTR2 (PC) , GTR Evo (PC) , Race07 (PC), F1 2010 (PS3), F1 2011 (PC) and many more but not sure if those games come with it such as: Race Driver Grid (PS3), F1 06 or 07 Championship Edition (PS3) and of course i have tons of racing games but the best to me is still Gran Turismo 5.
I didn´t pay for Spa in the other games but only for GT5 i will pay with no doubt about it. The experience in an almost photo-realistic environment is the mainly reason that makes me pay for it. And that track is beautiful. -

some are but the stig isn’t gay that pose always happen to me with my drivers but yea could fix that but oh well, I’m waiting to drive Nascar on a F1 track that has never been in the GT game, but I like for them to add Road America, Atlanta, and that new F1 track being built in Texas

Jordan, it’s possible to already use the karts in arcade mode, there in the far right of the car list.
Maybe you can post that so people can use the karts that are not going to buy the DLC or those who just can’t wait!-
October 17th, 2011 at 1:17 pm - #jah24car
well for those who want those karts which is in the arcade mode but people using karts online using the 125 in like gold chrome or whatever color the people who didn’t buy the dlc wouldn’t be able to race against 88mph karts in karts that only do 80.

Me and my mate have the simpson, arai and special helmets by doing seasonal event and some suits that are from the DLC. I kept doing the events to get random prizes each time but that day i went on seasonal event and it said paint for all the prizes. When did polyphony change these?

Ok first, nice work amar :D, now to the second one…Guys you all have spa, kart track, rm cars, gears , colors all that in you game already!…what wait how?…well it was in the 2.0 update. like every other dlc stuff like the purple camaro, or the chrome line cars..they are already in the game, you just download a code from the psn to unlock them, never thought why they are so small like 15 kbs?.. cuz its just a code. guys, a hint to further DLC are the updates. if a big update comes avaible?…be 100% sure it will have DLC in it. yeah i figured this long time ago. so no amar ain’t a PD tester, or a game journalist may be he is but he doesnt work for PD. he just found a way to crack the game, and i have my theories on how he did it. but wont say anything about it xD .
:D enjoy spa next week :D

Spa is a fantastic addition to GT5 and the kart track looks great too, added cars and tracks are always welcome so I hope that they keep coming with some degree of regularity. Finally having interior views for the standard cars I know makes so many very happy but I wish that the wheel and arms could be removed as I find them rather destracting and with GT5 I always used the nose view for this reason. Since my PS3 went YLOD I’ve been hoping for some decent upgrades to GT5 to entice me into buying a PS3 again and this DLC (and update) goes some way to helping me wanting to get back to GT5 but I have to say after playing some of the PC sims that are out I realise my T500 was kind of wasted with GT5, I hope the physics tweek is all that as the PC sims have really opened my eyes to how good GT5 could be (physics wise) I know I will be the proud owner of a new (cough cough used) PS3 sooner or later even though it is getting rather tied now but I think I will use it more for fun (so to speak) and to meet up chat and race with all the great friends I have met over the years (who I really miss) through the PSN and keep the serious racing for the PC…… I’ll always love GT (even though I still feel short changed by the £150 version of the latest rendition) and I hope (and am sure) it will get better and better
