There out early i was an hour out in my conversion. It is just after 3 am GMT at the moment. you say the events are out did you get the update 2 and what is it.
 
What exploits did it "fix"

From Official PS3 Blog
A new PS3 system software update, v3.56, will be released soon. This is a minor update that adds a security patch.

I am assuming it is related with the PS3 Root Key which was released into the wild at the beginning of the year.

ashes619, there are numerous forums dedicated specifically to jailbreaking ps3, this isn't one of them, if you want further information, use other sources or I can see this thread going in the wrong direction.
 
You forgot the bast part of the message. additionally, we will kick off the start of GT Driver's Club, a series of exclusive race events with unique requirements and special prizes, keep an eye on the News section for all future GT Drivers's Club announcements!

Unfortunately my region (Australia) doesn't have that update :(. Maybe sometime in the future? It sounds incredible though.

I think this message from PD is region specific, so I guess your region isn't included for GT Driver's Club.

Nope, unfortunately not. Hopefully they release it here soon.

Thats good news! Hopefully they put out some event for B spec...

I Agree! They've already done so for the Signature Edition Competition and they were REALLY fun. I actually grinded one of my drivers up to level 40 just to have any chance of competing. It would be great to see more of the B-Spec special events.
 
I love these seasonals I try to do them with minor upgrades if any at all. I have watched many a RL race where drivers have had misfortune and found themselves at the back of the field only to dig deep and fight their way back to the front, these seasonals let me live out racing driver fantasy!! Thankyou PD !!!

But it sucks that it is THE ONLY type of race we get for seasonal events. That just confirms there are big problems with the AI that make it impossible for PD to put together a "regular" race against GT5 AI that is fun.. or realistic.

For endurance racing the only thing I've seen so far is the "rabbit AI" where one AI is faster than all the others so you only ever race against one AI, when that rabbit AI gets stuck behind other lapped AI, you win if it was ever close. On sprint races it's the same, but if you are slower even by a little you never can win unless rabbit AI makes a mistake, which is very rare on a dry track. Oh well.. I'd rather they fix the AI than only give us these "catch up" events. One can hope I suppose, but if I were to bet, I'd bet it will be the same problem in GT6, GT7, GT8, until I die of old age.
 
Any word [from anywhere] on what these "Extra Special Events" are/will be?
 
Question is: time racing events or something like the special races that give lots of XP etc.? The latter would be great. :D
 
One race: Stock BMW M3's, 10 laps of Nurburgring 24hr track at night, prize: 10,000,000c, 10,000,000 XP

Oh yeah :D

(I can dream)
 
Great news that they are continuing it, but its gonna take me twice as long to finish A & B spec now since i can't turn down money and XP like that. Ah well. :)
 
X1s race for SUPER MEGA EXCLUSIVE EVENTZ would be epic and really difficult, though.

(X1 is exclusive, you're super exclusive because you have supadupa-exclusive GT5's exclusive X1, when GT5 is exclusive for PS3)

See, that is what I love about the seasonals. I am only halfway through the Expert events on A-spec even though I have had the game since launch, but I am level 28 almost 29. I didn't want to beat the game in less than a month like a lot of people did.

With the seasonals I have had no grinding, just GT5 bliss:). I can play the game at my pace, over 2 hours a day, and have plenty to do.
