I hope, if these Endurances are modded in, if possible, could have day-to-night time lapse. I recall having seen that you added a time-lapse to High Speed Ring and Eiger Nordwand.
Of course, it's just me. You don't need to add them if you don't feel like it. Edit: Would the Special Stage Route 5 have a good ol' retro name like "SSR5 All-Night"?
High Speed Ring and Eiger Nordwand have a sunrise to sunset cycle. Actual night time isn't possible because headlights don't work, but I'll get the time set up well for the Endurance. SSR5 endurance will in fact will be called Special Stage Route 5 All Night.

Oh nice, a nod to not only the SSR11 All Night, but also the SSR5 All Night from GT2 (where SSR11 was absent from the game). However, the thing is, GT2's SSR5 All Night had race cars in it. While you have said it'll be for slower cars, are you going to have it with race cars instead, as a nod to the GT2 equivalent?

It'll use tuned road cars at around 450 PP. The point of adding more Endurances is to have lower end cars and shorter lengths as an introduction to this form of racing. There are enough race car Endurances, in my opinion.
Polyphony really screwed up the gear shifts in Gran Turismo 5. This shouldn't be that big of a problem as I should just be able to change the flywheel inertia and engine braking stats in the SpecDB to bring back the correct behaviour, but the cars in GT5 shift faster and faster with each higher gear, so even if I make a car shift realistically from 1st to 2nd, by the time it's shifting from 4th to 5th, it's back to shifting fast. With that being said, I made them shift slower and it is definitely better than vanilla GT5, but it's not quite like GT4.

Hello! I have a new update on Gran Turismo 5 Evolution.
The AMG Driving Academy has seen some changes in tune with my goal of making Special Events less time trial based. The last stage of each level is now a Gran Turismo 4 style One-Lap Magic event at the Nordschleife (minus the wait times). I've also added an extra element to the One-Lap Magic formula - you'll have a faster car behind you chasing you and doing the same challenge, which means you'll have to employ attack and defense to win.
I've also re-organised the cars that get used and the track conditions: the Intermediate stage is now with the 300 SL in the rain, the Advanced difficulty uses the SLS AMG on a dry track and in the Expert level, you'll drive the SLS AMG Stealth Model at night. The time trials through each sector of the track remain there. Below is a video of a One-Lap Magic (sorry for the shoddy driving):
Continuing on the topic of Special Events, I've expanded the Top Gear event, it now has 3 events per level. As well as the one-make races, you'll also find a Top Gear Test Track Power Lap and a one-on-one race, both with cars that featured on the show.
Each level now has 3 events: a one-make race, a Power Lap and a 1v1 race.

Now onto a different topic: Licenses have had a significant overhaul. I always felt like Licenses (in line with the rest of the game) didn't utilise the game's full potential as there were no tests in the rain, only one with a wet track and it was a start-stop test, only one test with a race car, and no tests at night. To change that, many tests from the IC license onwards have been changed to use faster cars, to better scale with the game's progression and some tests at night and with rain have been added.
Another big change to the Licenses was aimed at the Super License. While certainly unique, I always thought the set of 10 overtaking challenges that comprised the Super License felt more like Driving Missions, and combined with the last two tests of every other License also being overtaking based, it all just felt too far removed from the traditional set of tests from the series. Because of that, the Super License is now made of 10 time trials like every other GT game.
Faster cars in many tests.
Wet weather and night time get used.
Remade Super License.
Three new Endurance events have been added to the game to serve as entry points into this form of racing: High Speed Ring 30 Minutes, Tour of Eiger and Special Stage Route 5 All-Night. They use slower cars and are the shortest endurances (30 minutes to an hour). With these additions, the event count goes from 54 in vanilla GT5 to 72 in GT5 Evolution, and the number of races increases from 127 to 270 in GT5 Evolution.
Prices for the following cars have been changed: Nissan GT-R R35 Schulze Motorsport increased from Cr. 500,000 to Cr. 750,000; NASCARs increased from Cr. 500,000 to Cr. 1,000,000; Toyota FT-86 Concepts lowered from Cr. 300,000/500,000 to Cr. 100,000.
As with every update, more and more engine sounds get improved.
I've made a changelog for GT5 Evolution to help keep up with the full list of modifications made. I'll continue adding changes to this document as I work on GT5 Evolution.
Gran Turismo 5 Evolution is a mod that overhauls and improves several areas of the game, redesigning and expanding core parts of the singleplayer experience to realise GT5's full potential. It is based on Nenkai's Master Mod, and would not be possible without the work of those involved in it. GT5...

Thanks for the interest shown and suggestions given for Gran Turismo 5 Evolution.
"Face your fears and conquer the Eiger!" This is a perfect race theme considering I'm afraid of big mountains, especially the Eiger, especially in unclement weather! 👍 Was it based on when I told you about my fears of the track? 😅
Update: The fact that bumping into other cars or going offroad in the AMG Driving Academy won't give out a DQ or penalties is relieving and extremely well thought. I hope the Redbull X events you added to the mod are also a bit like that!

They don't give a DQ or penalties in the AMG Driving Academy, but crashing does give damage, so you shouldn't be hitting cars or walls either way. Red Bull X doesn't have damage, or any fail condition.
Hello, which file corresponds to the American version? I have downloaded the one that weighs 147 MB through MediaFire, but I need another compressed file that weighs more than 400 MB and I can’t find it. Can you help me? Thank you.

This is an irrelevant change, but would it be possible to change the game's intro to the one from the Japanese version? (the one with "Moon Over the Castle")

Hi. Could you add a system that penalizes us for damaging the car at the end of the race? It would be great if we lost credits to repair the damage to the car's bodywork. Thanks.

No, there's no way for me to know if the car got damaged in the race, and even if I did, it would require a solid amount of coding that I'm not well versed on.
given how you're going for a more gt3 style for this mod with the tight economy, have you thought about bringing the lm cars back to their glory days? cars like the s2000, rx-7, fto, impreza and altezza were legends in gt3, and then got nerfed massively in gt4. i think it'd be a really nice homage to gt3, and give the mod a little more personality. and hey - more possible opponents for the gt5 dream car championship, which again would be a nice nod towards gt3!

Yes. On Gran Turismo 3, the dream car championship was 7-Race championship on both Amateur and Professional leagues. On Amateur, 5 laps per race (7 laps on final race), whilst on Professional, 15 laps on each of the 7 rounds.
I think extending the Dream car championship on Gran Turismo 5 Evolution Mod to 7 races like on Gran Turismo 3, may work perfectly.
