In the in-game news update when PD first stated that Seasonals would be updated "+/- 1 day" every Thursday, they also included a little tidbit telling players to keep an eye out for the "GT Driver's Club," which would allow drivers to do something (we don't know what) collaboratively in some way.
 
whatever the new updates did isn't very good. My game froze 3 times while in an online lobby already...it never did it before
 
Yea, looks like they mixed it up with Forza4. :)

it's probably not going to be like that. It's most likely gonna be pretty half-arsed and lacking in features. But if it's not I'll eat my shoe. That's right, MY SHOE
 
Why make comments like that? Why does GT have to be like Forza, and why does Forza have to be like GT? No one knows what it is, so lets wait.
 
Guys, come on! I'll tell you what happened!
Kaz got a phonecallfrom one of the Sony Executives who said he wasn't able to download his Squid Pr0n fast, because he maxed out his monthly bandwidth downloading GT5 13 triillion updates.
So Kaz being the nice guy he is, rewired the GT5 servers to download the entire Squid pr0n Collection pack for him.
This had nothing to do with GT5. 👍
 
As noticed before, the schedules do not seem to match.

From the table above the only one that matches it is the second one.
Some European guys weren't able to play yesterday evening (maintenance was on) so, I suppose, UK data are wrong for the 1st, 3rd and 4th maintenance periods. If we assume simultaneous downtime worldwide the time seems fine (they all end at the same time) but the date is wrong, it should be the day before.

I'd say only one is a patch/update. Though the maintenance could end up a form of patch.
