Red Bull X2010s For All in GT5, New Seasonal Event
Everybody gets a car! Sebastian Vettel just secured the 2011 Formula 1 World Championship at the Japanese Grand Prix, held at Suzuka today, and that has significant implications for Gran Turismo 5 players around the world.
As previously mentioned by Kazunori Yamauchi (and formally announced by Polyphony Digital), everyone will now receive the game’s fantasy hyper-car, the Red Bull X2010, for simply logging in to GT5 for a “limited time” (head to the “Gift” section in GT Mode to retrieve the car’s ticket). The occasion is also being celebrated with a Red Bull Seasonal Event, featuring the X2010 on Suzuka with over 5 million in-game credits up for grabs.
Congratulations to Vettel and the Red Bull team for bringing home the championship this season!

Apparently it is. I just logged in tonight and got it. Was that supposed to happen? I read that the duration of the giveaway was extended for another week but I still should have been too late. I’m pretty sure that I didn’t sign into PSN earlier either.

I think this is a bit of a shame. Before, owning an X2010 showed you had *some* skill, now anybody can own one. I think it was better when they were more exclusive. Oh well.

@ 88FoxBodyFan
Just showing him the lack of respect he shows others ;)
In all seriousness though I wouldn’t wish anyone to have an accident on or off the race track.-

Fair enough. I do agree with you though, it was a pretty sorry move.

It was an aggressive move, but I am still convinced it was merely “harsh, but fair”, and wasn’t worthy of a penalty, let alone disqualification. Luckily you don’t wish injuries on anyone, and nor am I trying to be casual with people’s lives. Guess this was a misunderstanding.

Thanks for the car and the race! However don’t be supid like me and go into the race with 19 million in the bank. It only gave me 1 million and unlike any other seasonal event you can’t beat it again to get the rest of your money. I got screwed!

After 2 days of all the frustration and sweaty hands of doing the special event to get this car, then a few days later I hear we would possibly get it free. I was very vexed to say the least lol. I really don’t need 2 of these cars lol.

Can you keep winning the 5 million over and over ? Or is it a one time thing ?

Firstly, in regards to your reply to my post:
My mistake, I totally forgot that brake fade doesn’t occur (not played for about 2 months) :-/ However, calling me “retarded” was a bit overkill…
Moving on though to answer your question, you can only get the 5 mil once

@ F40.
So you think it’s acceptable to play chicken with someone else’s life at 140mph do you?
I wonder how you would have felt had someone done that to you on a race track?
Why take that risk?You might be casual with others lives, but I for one think doing what he did was needlessly dangerous. He had the Championship in the bag, he only needed one point from five races.
I’ve seen drivers in F1 over the years killed after a “nothing” crash. Roland Ratzenberger died back in 1994 at Imola, the day before Senna was killed. He had what looked like a nothing accident when his Simtek gave the wall the lightest of touches. He was killed on impact.
Had Vettel hit him and broken part of his steering he could have hit the wall at speed, or worse yet spun into the path of the following pack. Mindless stupidly.
I think you need to get your head sorted out sunny. Your lack of respect for life is far too casual.

Regardless if Jenson Button’s life was at risk, I’m like you in the fact that Vettel’s major victory was in the bag. I would’ve been fine if it was an accidental movement at the start, but that was totally deliberate. Vettel, starting out in pole position, had the best racing line and side of the track, but instead of using those advantages he decided he wanted to play cat and mouse with Button; which was just stupid and uncalled for. If I was a part of the Mclaren race team, I would’ve been screaming for a penalty just like they were! Which I still don’t understand why Vettel never got one…
I had a lot of respect for Vettel and was routing for his victory. But after that, I can’t say I’d be hoping that he wins any of the other 5 races up ahead. Vettel may have sealed his victory, but I hope Jenson Button wins every other race and totally frustrates Sebastian Vettel.

@ J8mie,
You said in an earlier post that you hoped Vettel would get in a major wreck and be out for the season. Now you’re telling someone else they are “casual with other lives”? We have a word for that around here, hypocrite. -
October 10th, 2011 at 5:05 pm - #f40
J8mie, you said that you wanted Vettel to crash and get injured, rather than win the title. If you can’t see your astounding level of hypocrisy, you need professional help. Considering the amount of moves at the start of every race you see throughout the field, and not just involving Vettel, you were being melodramatic in order to pick on the double champion. As I said before, take your trolling somewhere else.

I’ve noticed a lot of people composing about grip and brakes. Like a real F1 car, the tires and brakes won’t work properly if they not at the right temperature. If that’s the case for you, you’re not driving fast enough

You’re retarded if your think GT5 has brake fade. They don’t even have a brake upgrade option. You ever see those crazy lap times with the Veyron on the Nurburgring ??? The brakes have the same level of breaking power the entire course. In real life, that heavy car would destroy the brakes.
