Sorry if this has been posted already....

For those using Internet Explorer....

Download 7-zip (if you do not have it already). Unzip with 7-zip and it will create a folder with an unusuable file. UNZIP this file and another folder will be created with the spreadsheet in it. Open that....

This works for any GT5 .xls file that you may be having trouble with.

where is the red bull x1 challenge? why is it not in the special events?

What level A-Spec are you at? You need to be at LVL 30 for the X1 challenge to appear in the Special Events section.

Thanks, shepzki, I'll add those to my next update :)

And thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I appreciate the fact that so many people find it useful :)

That's funny, I was looking at the matrix tab for tracks, and wondered which was the shortest, and then noticed that the Kart tracks aren't on the list.

Also some of the data looks a bit funny - is the SS Route 7 (Night) course really 23km long? And what are the extra bits of the Nordschleife that are added to make the 'Type V' and '24H' variants longer?

Awesome job pulling all this stuff together, cheers for all the hard work!
 
The Kart tracks aren't part of the official 71 variations. Possibly because I think they are generated from the course creator and/or added at the last minute. I can add them, if I gather the info...

Yes, I'm pretty sure the SS7 route is that long. It probably didn't seem that long for everyone who was doing donuts around the finish line, though :D lol

The 24H and V have the additional road course added to the ring. The V version has a slightly shorter version of the road course added. You can tell by looking at the length/# of corners in the matrix file.
 
Garbucke -- ASTOUNDING work! It even looks nice!
I just downloaded the .pdf and it is printing as I write. My wife is shaking her head at the amount of paperwork needed in the game.

Cheers, thanks again, most excellent job. Magnum Cum Laude!:)
 
Just thought it would be worth mentioning the Schick special DLC Camaro is not in the list. I've added it to the sheet I downloaded for myself.

The stats are a little off from the 2010 SS.
These are the stats I have with 0mi:
Chevrolet Camaro SS "Edge Special"
427HP@6000
420ft/lb@4500
FR
1755kg
 
Thanks. I did get the Camaro, and have the info... it will be in the next update, once I get around to uploading it :)

Apparently, there is also a third Academy car, received for completing the academy. A special GTR. The difference can be seen on the mygranturismo.net site. This will also be included in the next update, bringing the total to 1047 cars.
 
thanks for doing all this hard work and more importantly, SHARING IT!

don't see it, but was wondering of there was something on the spreadsheet that indicated re-sell value of the cars.

Or is the purchase price and resell price the same (assuming car is untouched)? I obviously haven't sold back a new car yet...

I realize I haven't entered re-sale values yet. There seems to be an odd formula to it, and most expensive cars can't be sold at all. I know I can probably find the info, but I just haven't had the desire to go looking for it yet.

The consensus seems to be that the best car to re-sell, is a Ferrari (Enzo, I think). That said, selling should never be used, unless you unknowingly have duplicates of a car.
 
I've added the information in the 2 threads below into my copy of the Matrix. This might be some good information to add if the OP's are willing to share.

Thank you. Yes, I was definitely going to add the second list, and had seen the first before (just never thought to add it, or it was incomplete at the time).

I will look at these when I have time.
 
This reply might be in wrong thread, but have someone made calculations for seasonal events?
I couldn't find any thread about their cash/exp ratios and it would be kinda helpful to know them. (Yes they are easy to calculate and so on... but it'd be easier for everyone to be able to look them from one place.)
 
I think there are people who keep track of the seasonals. Best place to look is in the seasonals sub category. Usually there is also a main thread there for each race, and someone will post the credits/xp. I don't track it myself because they are temporary, and it's not worth the effort for me.

totally agree - I just have about 5 or 6 duplicates of cars that aren't very rare (got hosed on my level tickets) and trade demand isn't looking very good.
 
That's the total number of cars you own. You put in the number of cars of you own in that column, beside each car. The totals are carried forward to the Summary sheet.

When are you going to upload the new list with the new Camaro? I just found your spread sheet tonight and downloaded it and did not find the new Camaro on it yet.

But otherwise it is an awesome spreadsheet:tup::)
 
Hi there, when you receive a chance, would you be so kind to update the special events section and include how much XP you get for completing each event in all gold?
