New GT5 Seasonal Event Features French Cars, La Sarthe
To help get you in the spirit for next month’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, Polyphony Digital has just pushed out a new Seasonal Event in Gran Turismo 5 with a focus on everything French. The championship runs across five different circuits and, of course, must be driven in a French car with 500PP or less:
- Cape Ring Inside (5 Laps)
- Rome Circuit (5 Laps)
- Autumn Ring (3 Laps)
- Circuit de la Sarthe Circuit 2009 (1 Lap)
- Mt.Aso (Pavement) 104A (5 Laps)
Thanks to RACECAR for the early tip!

I am so glad the seasonal events are back. I was getting so bored having done as much as I could. I started grinding for awhile then my head started to hurt.

Yer good little seires but it seems that now I can’t sell any of my cars so ummm anyone want to trade a ford gt40????

Lol, sorry, allready got GT40s up the ying yang. Try treating the unwanteds like rentals, or see if you can make them undrivable for B-spec bob. Sure, you don’t get big money for it, but it’s still good for a chuckle sometimes…;)

Im late to gt5. But my new Pug 207 GTi, and I had a blast with this series.
I personally prefer the street car element of GT over the racecar aspect… Now if only I could buy a real 207… -

I’d rather do the races in the VW Karmann Ghia as thats what I’m taking to Le Mans next month.

Tried it with a detuned Renault 5 turbo maxi Rally Car to match PP and hated this car which handle so bad.

That’s exactly what makes it such a fun drive (and a killer in real life). Once you get to master the beast, you’ll love it. Ask Jean Ragnotti!

I don’t really care about any of this unless it says GT5 is getting more cars or tracks (good ones)

Yet you bothered to open the page and post on it.
Next planned update has been tweeted by Kaz to be one that will take some time to complete, so may have new content, but if not, the longer they go without releasing any, the less likely there’s gonna be any prior to GT6. The only such content they’ve mentioned to date were the possibilities of a small number of upgraded standards, and more track themes for the course generator. They’ve never said there will be new tracks (or free roam for those waiting on that). That’s just rumor that some decided to be fact. And other than speculation about SEMA winners and such, there has never been any real evidence of any totally new cars. So you might has well just quit reading the news blogs and save yourself the grief, cause a couple dozen people postin a desire for new stuff every other article is obviously not getting PD to talk about, much less release any. -

With all the whinning over the last seven months, it wouldn’t surprised me if Kaz is just trying to do one big final update before moving on to other projects. No real reason to bother putting effort into new cars and such for GT5 when it’s obvious it’ll never “be enough” for the whiners anyway. Better to just put everything into GT6, and forget GT5 ever got forced to market by Soony

Lets give props to the French whilst we are in the Centennial year of the Indy 500. Why not a Seasonal around that? Formula GT, NASCAR, and a race with former pacecars (Viper, Corvette, Camaro, Stealth/3000GT, Mustang)

They called it stupid, they called it ugly, even gay, but I knew one day that my pepto bismol pink 1980 Renault 5 turbo would have a purpose. That day has come!!! Fully tuned and still met PP requirements!!!! Yeah!!!

Hey JayKayEm – that could be my favorite post ever! Nicely done my new friend! If there is anything you need (ticket, car, paint) – if I have one, I’ll send one… Just appreciate the laugh.
“If only they could make it more realistic with random overheating, wipers that intermittantly fail and a pit garage that refuses to do anything because it will soon be August.Least when I trade my brand new clio in for credits, the depreciation is realistic.
Vive la France!”

BTW has anyone had trouble with GT since the 3.61 update?
-
May 20th, 2011 at 7:32 am - #TJC_69
Yep , I sure did.
I was exiting an online lobby the other day and the game froze on exit.
Tried to turn off the PS3 and nothing happened , so the only thing I could do was turn it off from the wall socket.So , I then rebooted and checked save game files and I had 2 GT5 save game ( User Save , not Install ) files. One of them was corrupted so I had to delete it , leaving my usual save.
I then booted up GT5 to find I was on day 1 , Level 1 A-Spec so my game save had gone. I then proceeded to my GT5 back up and everything’s been fine since.
Although I did have to re – gold 25 licences to get back to having the full 60 which I had earned during the outage. Didn’t take long though.

CicoMaloXD why 10 laps of Sath for $250,000 ???
Why not do 10 separate 1 lap races for $1,250,000
