gran-turismo.com user profiles are not always accurate.

[autofusion]

If you went to gran-turismo.com and reviewed your profile while checking out others, there can be some flaws.

The first thing I found out is that after I complete an offline race, my information is sent straight from my PS3 to the website. Then it will take several minutes after that to synchronize my statistics between my web browser and my PS3. In this case, I just hit B-spec level 32 this morning but my web page shows that I am still on 31. It took at least 2 long hours for me to finally see my updated status on the website.

Another thing I noticed is that although I have a certain PSN user on my friend list, I'm supposed to see its status on its gran-turismo home page AND in the game. But in this case, I'm only able to see its status in-game and can't pull it up on the website.

Other than these problems, the website and your PS3 can still keep track of most B-spec remote races that has been ran and that is the only thing the website has been good at. The accuracy of user status and the fact that it even blocks anonymous users from viewing another user's profile (friend or not) is downright ridiculous.

Thanks for reading and understanding.

The website is lagged terribly. I am afraid to run remote races from there because the last time I tried, 4 of my racers lost exp. that they earned in game, but were overwritten by what happened on the website.

I didn't really look at the site before v1.06, but I suspect after v1.06, it is being bombarded by remote B-Specs racers. Head over to the B-Spec sub-forum and it's seems to be a lot more popular than people were predicting.

I've had to wait up to 24 hours to see an added friend show up on the website.

I assume they will get the kinks straightened out by the latest when the GT5 Prologue Servers go down, maybe as early as update 1.08

My profile picture has stayed the same for 3 months, since I bought the game I changed it 3 times already, talk about lag

It is posted somewhere in the b-spec forum that it takes up to 23 hours to update on the official website
