Gran Turismo 5 Update 2.02: Many Changes, Available Now
In a substantial update, Polyphony Digital has brought a wide range of tweaks, changes, and new features to GT5 with update v2.02. It’s available as a free download for all versions of the game, weighing in at 246MB.
Here’s a complete list of all the new changes, as released by Polyphony Digital:
Major Changes and New Features
- Wheels can now be changed on Standard cars.
- Downloadable contents can now be shared by multiple users with the Family Upgrade.
(See Polyphony’s complete FAQ for more details.) - Cars purchased through DLC will now appear in the Car Dealerships. You can purchase additional versions of the same vehicles within the game using earned race credits.
- A copy button has been added to the lower left of the settings screen. A settings sheet saved in either A/B/C can now be copied to A, B or C.
Gifts
Toyota 86 GT ’12 will be available to all players who install the 2.02 update.- Free coupons have been added that allow you to wash cars, change oil, overhaul your engine, or restore chassis rigidity in GT Auto. 10 coupons will be distributed for free to each of those who have downloaded the 2.02 update.
- The Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 SPL. and five New Car Refresh cards will be provided to customers purchasing any DLC packs released in October 2011. The New Car Refresh can be used from the Special Coupons option in the items list, and will return your car to its brand new condition (before breaking-in the car’s engine). Equipped parts and current paint on the car will not be affected by this card.
Other Improvements
- Pressing the □ button in the car coupon selection screen of the Car Delivery, will now allow you to exchange all car coupons at once (maximum number of coupons you can receive at once is 100).
- Tire-wear speed adjustment
- In GT Auto you can now see how the oil changes, aerodynamic parts, engine overhauls, and racing modifications will affect performance points and engine power, before and after their application.
- In screens where the [Garage] and [Driver List] buttons are displayed in the A/B Spec events, Special Events, and Seasonal Events, pressing the □ button will now show the [Garage], and pressing the △ button will show the drivers list.
- An option has now been added for ‘Max. number of participants – this is featured in the room settings of My Lounge.
- Added ☆ marks which show the number of Gold Trophies attained in each event, in the event selection screen of seasonal events.
- Racing sound effect adjustment
- Steering assist controls (used when using certain controllers on Racing Karts) have been adjusted. This applies to steering wheels with a 200 degree turning radius. The [Steering Type] (Amateur/Professional) settings in the Game Options will be ignored, and the controller’s steering angle will now directly affect the tire turning angle of the car.
Correction of Known Issues
- Fixed issue where you would overrun without resetting, when entering pit lane at low speed on some tracks.
- Fixed issue with Performance Points calculations for the Red Bull X2010 and the X2011.
- Fixed issue where the rear wing/aerodynamic settings were reset when switching between setting sheets.
- An issue was corrected where the car would become stuck in autopilot from the pit lane if a certain condition is met in an endurance race on the Tsukuba Circuit. Also revised the entry route during pit stops and speed judgement.
- Improved multi-monitor stability
Where is the new DLC?
New downloadable content – in the form of 5 new cars – is also about to be released, though it is not yet available. According a tweet by Kazunori Yamauchi (and interpreted by our own Shirakawa Akira), it should be released on or before December 21.
As always, stay tuned to GTPlanet for more information on the DLC’s availability.

Have upgraded to 2.02 yesterday after about 9 months not playing the game. It’s amazing how the game has improved since then. I cannot understand if people still are complaining. Especially about more ore less useless things such as rims (in my opion).
Keep gaming guys and enjoy the game!

Merry X’mas to all.
Love this latest update. I got more excited than I thought about being able to add new wheels to the standard cars. I’ve put some on most of my Japanese classics and they set the cars off. Thanks PD for that, I hope you can add more rims to the selection for Standard cars.
The updated chase cam is great too! and the adjusted in-game sound effects are tops.
Also love the copy feature for the setting sheets! is it possible PD, that you can add more setting sheets per car AND be able to copy set ups from one car to another?There’s something I would love to see changed in GT Auto. After a wing/ body kit part or rims has been installed, if we want to remove it we have to pay a small price which is fine but the purchased part just vanishes into thin air!
It should return to our garage and be reusable on any car instead of having to pay the full price again.
This could merge with the setting sheets too. Say on one sheet the wing/rims could be installed but on another sheet(same car) the rims could be stock or another set of rims and the wing could be removed.I would be grateful for something like this. Please keep up the hard work PD!
Happy New Year….year of the dragon!

I would really like it if they would change the tire situation back to what it was before the update i mean really GT5 Sport tires lasting longer than Racing tires i thought this was supposed to be a simulater not just another game id rather play need 4 speed or something. Ive been playing this game almost everyday in between my deployments and you idiots took the realism out of it not to mention made it into a joke thanks….

Display options and ability to remove the gear and braking indicator. Two thumbs way up. No more driver list in the rear view when using cockpit. Sweet.
Can we please have a one stop shop for all your tuning needs instead of having to hit either the GT auto or the tune shop? Can we please have it at the track. Not sure why a team with a pit crew and and a 20,000,000 budget have to leave track day’s to do weight reduction’s, fit aero and engine work. Even if it does make sense. It is still annoying. -

for the next update, they should add more selection of rims for all cars, more aero parts and retouch of the standard cars, as well as keep working on the standard cars to make them premium. yeah more cars are cool, but PD can focus more on the stuff thats on the game already….
-
December 21st, 2011 at 8:03 pm - #armydude
and if PD is gonna add more cars, then more LMP’s (both type 1 and 2) FIA cars, Super GT cars, etc….

Confiscated almost all of the Seasonal Events and still saying Merry Christmas to us? What a joke!
It’s all those Seasonal Events that kept me log-in almost everyday for the past one year! Now I have no reason to log-in anymore!
Polyphony Digital really gives TROUBLE even though we support them!
Just like the first DLC which purposely lock-up to single account and force everyone within a family to buy a copy of DLC!
PD will improve only after customers screaming!!!
REALLY DISAPPOINTED!!!

Anyone mentioned that if u bought multiple DLC’s like extra paints you get the Toyota FT-86 Concept II? Well.. u do. Unfortunately it has no interior view but idk wether the real car was a clay model or not like the Tokyo concept Nissan GTR. I’m impressed the way PD Have updated GT5 proving that PD is still one of the best if not the best Driving sims available. Thanx PD. Nxt update could u maybe add some Torq thrusts to standard rims? I’d love to have some on my Cuda’s, chevelles etc.

What a great update, my standard cars now look awesome :) and the greetings card was a very nice touch, it’s good to know that Kaz and PD cares about us. So far I never saw something like this in another game. Really pleased with the update, thanks Kaz.

Awesome update, thanks PD !
Plays almost like a new game for me, I love the new sounds and realistic camera work.
Graphics seem better , though it must be my imagination.
Standard cars seem clearer, must be just my state of excitement.
Now all I need is to be able to colour the wings… ;-)
Even though I’m not interested in the new DL cars, I will still buy them to support PD !! -
