Special GT5 NASCAR Seasonal Event Coming August 29th
Polyphony Digital has, curiously, announced a special “NASCAR-themed online racing event” to be held in GT5‘s Seasonal Events next Monday, August 29th at approximately 8:00PM PST. Though specifics remain sparse, they have confirmed a unique prize for the event will be available in the form of Jeff Gordon’s 2010 driving suit and helmet. Kazunori Yamauchi has also commented on the event via Twitter.
This is the first time a GT5 Seasonal Event has been announced in advance, so it will be interesting to see if anything makes it particularly notable other than the unique prize. The starting time of the event also roughly coincides with a period of scheduled maintenance for GT5‘s online services.
Thanks to Blake for the tip!

Seems more like an attempt to keep the online community occupied while they do maintenance on the system

Daytona and Indianapolis get boring but hustling the 900 horse tanks around the twisties and turning fast laps is some of the most fun I’ve had in this game. Don’t miss your shift points and don’t spin the tires.

Now all we need is gokart seasonals, rally seasonals, and bspec seasonal events.That would be awesome! :)

Having the GT4 coffee break driving park tarmac area with adjustable cone layouts would be great for go-kart racing a swathe of additional events and a decent addition to the course maker.

i want the old ken block subaru and his new fiesta in the game along with suit, that would be cool but would never happen due too DIRT
Suits are rubbish, honestly like its been said a million times.
Agree, we need a rally event, and more touring car style ones

If they are announcing this ahead of time, it must be something special, and not just Gordons racing suit. Perhaps more NASCAR tracks!

Now you can go back to your “make-your-car-into-a-total-ricer” simulator! AKA: If your hating then get off this GT-based site you ungrateful troll.

Ahh I was wondering when a NASCAR special event would happen. I’d like to see one also for the classics (finally got my 330p4)
GTPlanet on Google+
Ok, i just won that suit, it was very easy.
But they didn’t did the helmet and suit seperate, they made a section called ‘Special Suits’ at ‘Accesoires’ (The little briefcase)
How is it posssible to put thousands jars of paint and 690 helmets and suits in a tiny briefcase?
WHATEVER…
But why another section for 1 suit??
STIGGYY!!!!!
