Next GT5 Online Update Coming Later Tonight
The next GT5 update will be available to download tonight at approximately 11:00PM (Eastern Standard Time in the United States), as announced by Kazunori Yamauchi on Twitter and Polyphony Digital. Here’s a human translation of his post by our own SHIRAKAWA Akira:
Ok, here comes the long awaited GT5 online update. It will happen in 24 hours. An online special event will be held too.
His Twitter post was followed shortly thereafter by updates on Polyphony Digital’s official websites, announcing scheduled maintenance and downtime of GT5‘s online services around the world between 10:00 and 11:00 PM EST (a corresponding notice has also been posted to the European website).
As usual, there is no information about exactly what this update will contain, but we’ll find out soon enough. Thanks to all of you who sent this in so quickly!

Is it me or are some of these cars in the online dealership just added or extremely rare? I’ve never seen this C12 03 before but it’s The sexiest looking car I’ve ever seen!

There are a lot more changes than people are reporting. There is now a Championship save. You can finish a race of a series, save it, and restart the next you play.
Event prizes online are tripled for a limited time. You can also win prizes like items and cars online. Online dealership cars are half price.
Improved AI.
Plenty more fixes and changes. Read the “News” section for complete details. I’m happy with the update.

Really?! thats its, Kaz wastes so much time on trivial things, so he has time to mess around with racing suits but didn’t have time to add a few race mods? Or update a couple standard cars to premium, or add a few race tracks from previous GTs. Its all the little distractions like that, that took GT5 so long to be released. Maybe I’ll have to buy a XBox360 and Forza to be able to play a real racing game, I guess they are focusing on racing and not this other BS like Kaz is.

From what I see you can purchase different tires when you are in a race. I’m at the Expert Championship Race and I can purchase any tires my car doesn’t have without going back to the main screen.
Oh. You can suspend and resume races.

Suits and new song locally but server is down so not sure what that has in store. 380 is too big for what I’m seeing. I would assume when the server is back up it may make more sense.

After update my system is hanging up. It was fine for 2 hrs. But then couldn’t connect and finally froze. Ut oh.
