update 1.05 - Ensure you follow the AUP when posting

About the new events, I tried entering the GT-R event and it wouldn't let me. Do I have to finish the previous ones first?

Check the requirements. You've probably changed the oil and upped the horsepower too much.

The car has to be basically fresh from the factory (though in the last two events I added an FC transmission and sports air filters... I did a slight modification of my SpecV so it's 492HP).
 
Don't know if it has been mentioned yet but now when you finish a race, there is a button to start the race again instead of having to exit the track and come back in. Now, when the race(grind) is over, just hit the start race button and go again!

This is a very big time saver for grinding credits. I was grinding at Daytona last night in Expert American Championship to get enough to buy the Formula Gran Turismo and it sucked having to exit and re-enter to start a new race.

Also I was not looking forward to the revolving used car thing to get the FGT and went on the online dealer and bam....it was there and ready for me to buy.

I am very pleased with the update from what I have seen so far.
 
I had the same feeling in SSR5 and Tokyo R246 although I'm not 100% sure.

I immediately recognised something was different with signs on Tokyo R246 but I just assumed I was imagining things. Literally the first few seconds I thought it looked different. Some track decoration has been added then for sure if others got this feeling too.

Look at the requirements carefully.
There is a weight limit,tire limit,model limit etc.
I completed that one already.
I didn't complete any of the other ones.

I went straight from the dealership to the track with an '09 spec v gtr.
Got 7th place.
Put on sport tires on my second attempt and got 2nd place.
Took all extra weight off and got gold.



As an extra note - the online car dealership has different colors from the Used Car Dealership.
There was a white Formula GT sitting there waiting for me that I just had to snatch up. :)
 
okay i really love this update, i'ts awesome that you can turn off the hud, but still no odometer dunno why the could not have added it while they were at it, don't real cars have odometers anymore since this is the real driving simulator, other than that awesome update i got the 24hr version of nurburg upon entering gt life more money b-spec european race that once netted me 45k now nets me 99k thats cool i can expand my garage sooner but please PD add odo otherwise when test drive unlimited 2 comes in feb this game will no longer be played
 
Has the tyre wear been patched? If so it will make endurance races harder as the soft tyres will wear out quick like they are meant to compared to the hard tyres.

Agreed. Now let's petition for it to be a big red button with GRIND written on it.
 
HOLY, I love this patch, No more reloading races over and over! as soon as you finish a race you can do it again, this makes money farming crazy easy.
 
Note: It will never be accessible across ps3 profiles/accounts.

I don't know what monkey came up with creating additional PSN gamer tags for the sake of GTplanet community, but its idiotic. You'll never be able to transfer the saves across accounts, otherwise that would lead to a much BIGGER problem. Thankfully I have a single gamertag and will have only one for many years to come.

Amen to that brother.
 
Well after reading and learning new stuff about this patch, im actually starting to change my mind, and now im looking forward to getting back from work and trying it out.

Im big enough to admit that maybe i jumped the gun.

I've noticed, while driving a NASCAR on Grand Valley Speedway, that the car got damaged slightly easier and that there are a few architectural changes like signs, road blocks and race marshal boxes added around the track which I'm pretty sure were not in before. Also when drifting/wheel spinning in the tunnels the tyre marks look like white paint on the road when viewed from certain angles (probably the reflection of the sun).

I had the same feeling in SSR5 and Tokyo R246 although I'm not 100% sure.

A review of older YouTube videos should be a help here.
 
thank you PD, awesome update, the only thing i really needed was the option to turn off the HUD, everything else is a bonus
 
Seem all fine to me except this:

Mechanical damage on practice mode:tdown:

In practice mode, all damage must be off, thats why is practice!

Anyway, on multiplayer lobby's it was nice if we can have a option just to run on server cars that only have, RWD - AWD or FWD.

And please PD, keep the credits and Xp like you do now, in this update, don't change after january please. Or we must assign a petition?:sly:
