    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For any seasonal events you have already completed before the update you recieve a car when you go into it (so i guess this means for every seasonal event to come). This does not include time and drift trials, just the A and B spec races. Finally rewards apart from money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    600pp and Sport’s hard was a welcome challenge and the AI was aggressive. Tough event. Thanks. Looking forward to the replacements for the old events.

    I really wanted them to keep the Ferrari F1 seasonal though. It was the only time I could unleash it on a full grid

      agreed. I was saving some of those. That one could come back or be re launched.

    I know this might sound dumb, but what is the “Racing sound effect adjustment” about? Did it change something big, or is it nothing?

    • December 20th, 2011 at 4:49 pm - #

      Some fixes more than changes like the exterior wind sound effect at high speeds like in GT4 and like in reality. Some better quality in overall sounds (rev sounds). The mix of the engines in general when you are close to other cars and stuff like that. Very cool in my opinion and all for a better overall experience.
      Of course GT5 is not going to see real engine car sounds by now. But i keep my hopes for GT6. GT5 is like a huge beta for the upcoming title (all previous games are).And they are fixing it now and at the same time working on GT6 with all this new users feedback to not commit the same ‘errors’ or ‘mistakes’ that they made with GT5.
      Still i love GT5 and i will buy every DLC to support them.

    Does anybody else hope they will create some multiplayer seasonals? They would be awesome. :)

    Hopefully they dropped all these events to get lots of new and more rewarding ones in a (close) future !!! lets wait and see…

    yeah I don’t mind the seasonals being cut. I’ve done them enough already. But I do hope PD has a good excuse for taking them down. the new seasonals pay off very well :D

    THEY REMOVED MORE SEASONALS THAN THIS ARTICLE SAYS.

    In addition to seasonals prior to SuperGT they also got rid of a good few of the ones after that as well. I’m really bent out of shape about it because I still hadn’t done the Supercar Nostalgia seasonal. I was planning to do the entire series in the TZ2 but now it’s gone, I was really looking forward to that one too!

    I loved this event in GT4, glad to see it returning in GT5! It’s just a shame some of the older seasonals were cut.. Maybe PD has some more coming down the pipeline with bigger rewards so that would explain why they cut a lot..

      Maybe the old GT tracks as DLC is coming up mext, I hope the feeling I have is true. :D

    So I don’t have that Ferrari race at Sarthe to finance my buying and toying around with new cars… that makes it boring.. it already took long enough to get money with that race. I guess I’ll never get any of those ridiculously overpriced 20 million dollar cars..

      Use Billy B-Spec in the Daytona Race, you get 600k for about 15 mins of him racing…

      I liked getting 500,000 for Sarthe in the Enzo. 2 races = 1 million credits. Gr8. now you can only manage about 336000 for it. shame as it was easy money for 3 and a half minutes (which is the time it takes my enzo to do a lap (with chicane cuttings obviously!))

    On Seasonal Events, you can get Car Level Tickets once you finished all the events. I got Level 2,3,18,19and 20.
    Thanks PD, Merry Christmas to you, too.
