good thing about the update is that it resumes from the point that you were disconnected. i tried for 7 times and got an error in all of them.
but checking in the game information, the data size went from 2029 to 2418mb right now, so i'm almost there. its just a shame that the bar always starts from zero, making you think that you're back to square one

Yes there is a drift mode
and yes all the cars from the Euro version are in 
Naturally the first car I went for was the RX-7
Handles near identical to the real thing! The sound is about right too which I'm very happy to hear.I'm currently driving the stock Ford GT around Eiger Reverse now (my favorite track & config to test any new car on)... it's a bit of a handful to put it rather mildly haha. It is very loose... have to be very careful on the gas. It's almost impossible to floor it around any corner on Eiger without ending up facing backwards. Also have to remember to NEVER lift your foot off the gas for more than a split second around corners (in most cars.. like the NSX for instance, you can take your foot off the gas just enough in to cause the car's wight to shift onto the front wheels and give them more traction which will induce oversteer to allow for very quick vector correction around corners... this is still a viable technique with the stock Ford GT, but you just have to be extremely quick about it and know exactly what the car will do when you do it.)
I got the hang of the Ford GT after about 3 laps and you can now see my best replay in the replay section for the Ford GT under Eiger II (which is the 3rd option up from the bottom in the JP version if I remember correctly), Professional Physics. Shouldn't be that hard to find... as of now I'm the only one on there
. I will see if I can find a way to take a video tomorrow when I can get a better lap in, as it's 2:20 AM here and I'm going to bed...As for tracks, I think High Speed Ring is now the most visually impressive track. It may be simple, but it is, in my opinion, actually the most photorealistic out of all of them. Certain replay angles are especially very cool and very TV like.
Overall the new update is just freakin awesome!!
Edit:
@ Maskrider
What capture device have you used to get those images? They are fairly high quality... I havn't really seen any thing any good in the public market. Are they via HDMI? or Component?

done at third attempt
first was failed at %85. it took over 2 hours
but third took just one hour.just be sure you dont use internet for surfing or downloading on your PC.
I quickly looked at what's new. I wanted to sell all cars to get f2007 but it seems a stupid move because 599's sell price is around 8million
my pal version has been shipped today. it should be here in 6 days. time to waste my jpn version money :/

Only Japanese.
A couple of stupid questions..
1. When my Blu-Ray (eventually) turns up, will it need updating to spec II?
2. How big is the update? Many pages ago someone said it was around 400MB.
3. Why hasn't the official UK Prologue site got the the rest of the cars? O.o
Thanks for your time guys

1. Yes.
2. A friend with the press download said 204MB or something, my Japanese game needed 612MB.
Amar, who was (one of) the first with a disc, said ~400MB.
3. SCEE is lazy...véry, véry lazy.

That is very lazy. I'm getting it on Blu-ray so I didn't have to waste my bandwith.
I don't want to download update after update.
Sony should start planning these things alot better.
I think sony should be nice to all of us and send updates through the post. They have our addresses, so why not?

Haha, well then you are very lucky. Not everyone has a $350.00 video editing card with HDMI ports
It is not just because of luck but I cannot say I am not lucky, I have a job and I worked hard (almost 20 years so far) to support my family and my hobbies.
Anyway, some more pictures (click to enlarge them)
The 2 locations in Kyoto
Shorenin, Kyoto
Shirakawa, Kyoto
And a location called Bonn
This is going to be a long day ....
so, anyone know yet when the update for the asian version of GT5P will be? Just want to know since I'll go nuts if PD forgets about us hehe. Need to get my hands on those tuned cars and of course the Ferrari's. I'd like to have the option to turn off abs as soon as possible too - makes the game that more realistic! Thanks!
