The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo, featuring American muscle, among them being the Dodge Viper, and while this week’s challenges doesn’t offer the usual amount of variety associated with the weekly events, the rewards should more than make up for that.

Aside from the recent 2.14 update for Gran Turismo 5 and the GT Academy demo raking in over 1 million downloads, nothing of any real interest has happened this week, at least as far as I’m concerned. That could all change at the drop of a hat though so don’t bury your head in your pillow just yet. Who knows what’s going to happen this weekend. 

The latest Seasonal Events are now live in Gran Turismo 5, and this week’s challenges are all about front-wheel driven cars. Five expert level challenges touring such locations as Autumn Ring Mini and Deep Forest Raceway await, and the rewards are just as high as they’ve come to be in these challenges.

Gran Turismo 6 is steadily becoming a more attractive product as the days progress and with the recent reveal of the Goodwood Hillclimb making it’s debut in the upcoming game, that attraction has nearly doubled since the GT Academy demo was released last week.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring the Jaguar XJR-9 LM race car, Toyota 86 GT and both racing and non-racing cars alike. This week’s events step away from the more methodical approach the events took on two weeks ago and instead turn the focus back toward getting the most out of the car/tire combination.

What a great week it’s been thus far, the 2013 GT Academy demo was released this past Tuesday and has left many of us wanting so much more. Whether or not we’ll get more remains to be seen but I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high because we all know something has to be maintained for when Gran Turismo 6 sees itself onto store shelves later this year.

While some of you may no doubt be attached to the recently released 2013 GT Academy demo powered by Gran Turismo 6, it’s worth noting that GT5 is still running strong with weekly updates to keep you interested, and this week is no different.

After a short hiatus the Rewind has returned in all its splendor and things have calmed down over the last two weeks or so, only to pick right back up with the events concerning the Xbox One and Microsoft’s steadfast DRM policies, all of which are no longer going to be implemented. What does this mean you ask; the same kind of freedom you currently have with the Xbox 360 are the same freedoms you’ll be able to enjoy with the upcoming One. This means no used games policies, no trading policies, no always online connection. All of it, gone.

The latest Seasonal Events take are now available in Gran Turismo 5, and the premise of these events take on a more methodical approach than previous events. There are no tuning restrictions across any of this week’s events but tires are restricted accordingly.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring high power American sports cars. Five expert level challenges touring such locations as Daytona Road Course and Grand Valley Speedway await, and the rewards are just as high as they’ve come to be in these challenges.

It only happens once a year and it’s often likened to the Super Bowl, as in “the Super Bowl for gamers”. It can likened to any major event that only happens once a year that has massive appeal but at the end of the day all that matters is it’s E3!

Well this is certainly different, I can’t remember the last time the Red Bull X2010 was featured in a Seasonal Event, if ever. That’s not the only thing you’ll be taking out in this week’s newest events because the Mazda Roadster and race car action are also in the cards.

We’re here, heading in to the final chicane leading onto the main straight — I’m referring to E3 of course. It all begins next week Monday if you weren’t aware and there’s so much I’m looking forward to, so much I’m looking to get a better hold of, and even a bit more clarity should it be provided.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in Gran Turismo 5, featuring European compact cars. Five expert level challenges touring such locations as the Top Gear Test Tack and Autumn Ring Mini await, and the rewards are just as high as they’ve come to be in these expert level challenges.

It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday! You’ve gone several weeks, months even, ducking and weaving the inevitable – you’ve just been Rebecca Black’d.

The latest Seasonal Events are now available in GT5 in the form of new time and drift trial events, featuring the all-wheel drive Subaru Impreza. There are the no tuning restrictions in this week’s drift events.

For those of you still scratching your pretty little heads, there was no Weekly Rewind last week. How could there have been with all of the news coming in left, right and sideways regarding the GT6 reveal at last week’s 15th Anniversary Celebration at Silverstone? The Rewind would have been a tight squeeze in the midst of that onslaught of news.

While you may still be coming off of the excitement from the GT6 reveal from only a week ago, GT5 is still being updated with weekly Seasonal Event challenges and this week is no different.

It’s easy to lose track of things when you’re still coming off of the sheer excitement surrounding the GT6 reveal at Silverstone last week, and it’s possible that you may have missed this interesting bit of news regarding the muscle Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division is bringing to GT6.

If you were expecting the damage model in GT6 to have undergone some drastic changes you might want to curb those expectations, as a recent interview conducted by Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo suggests otherwise. When Stephen posed the question to a U.S. PlayStation producer it was met with the following response:
