Wow, Polyphony does know how to make a black list. Now if they can incorporate a black list for online races…Obligatory statement.
I have yet to try these out, but they do look like fun this time around. And the D1/FD was a great idea. But the Skyline, took me nearly 6 seconds to find one. Way too much time to find one, super rare! lol
London was a b$#%& to pass. Took me 20 tries lol bought the blitz then the aem s2k….when I had a FC laying around which I ended up beating it with! The sharp lowspeed drifts were irritating. -.-
I beat the drifting one with the gts R32… kinda cool race..
It took me a while to get gold on London.
Forgive any errors I’m on an iPod
What?!? An online event with a skyline? Damn, i’ll have to go find one, i hear their pretty rare cars to find.
I know, right? It’s like they don’t exist. There’s what… two of them? How do they possibly expect anybody to have a Nissan Skyline?
+10 to both comments. XD
Hell yea! Gran Turismo finally mentioned FormulaD! I love Fd and D1!
PD idiots can’t even programme good drifting mode…reaching of points is really stupid..
FYI 90° to the corner is also drift …are you even japanese? shame on you…
Worked for me. D1 Formula trial was my fave. RS 4 Genki Silvia a beast.
drifting on wheel or controller? everything’s working for controller :)
Drifting on a wheel seems to work for many in the top 100. Im in top 1,500 on london, top 1,060 at Indy and can probably get better if I keep at it.
I set my cars to react to torque shifting and minor left right inputs, only using HB for the sharpest of turns or bizarre angles. I visualize my car drifting on an Axis for GT5 physics.
I was stumped at first but I love drifting so I figured it out and worked around PDs design flaws when it comes to Drift.
Another thing Ezekiel you probably drive in real life and not being in contact with the Drivers seat wheel stick shifter, clutch, etc may be throwing you off, but dude you cant let PD win…you can do it. :)
you’re driftin on what..wheel or controller…man..I have really many experience from real driving :)
This was fun.
This is a bit random, but I’m level 32 on b-spec and need to reach 35 fast, any tips?
Endurance, seriously just put your BoB on overnight, it’s how I did it ^_^
Can’t go wrong with a skyline. :)
Enjoyed the Deep Forest time trial. It’s a great circuit, and I for one don’t use Skylines too often. It was way easy to gold though… quick $$’s.
congratz driftinziggy by your shot ;)
Thank You… I was pretty surprised!
My eyes autoatically roll back when I hear’Skyline’ :)
You should get that looked at. It seems dangerous.
700pp race car TT much better than comfort soft on GTR TT
I manged to get a top 20 time in with my Nur! Although, it’ll probably be top 1000 (at the very least) in a day or so >_>
Oh well, at least there’s no 2Js. lol
@BaTsBR
I was shocked as well to see D1 in the title. Let see if we can get class event. GT1 and so on.
Mentioning the words “Nissan Skyline” with “GT5” makes the Baby Jesus cry.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I can remember this is the first seasonal event, or even a-spec event bespoke to skylines. Which is odd considering there’s 1000 skylines in the game.
Also, I dig the fact that PD works so closely with Nissan. PD did all the graphics for the GTR’s onboard displays right?
There are only ~40 Skylines in GT5, but the rest of what you said is true.
Ooh brother. Typical PD and Kaz as always. NISSAN CARS… I was thinking about forgiving them, but than this event showed up… *Sighs*, as always I say… No wonder I stopped buying Nissan cars from other games, so sick of them. ALL thanks to KAZ and PD, just by this ONE event. You’re the best PD, you’re the best.. >_>
I guess the SKYLINES AND GT-Rs are gonna strike AGAIN in GT6… UUUUUUUHHHG…. ~_~’
Omg how did I know that I would see nothing but negative comments? It’s a game. If you don’t like it don’t play it.

Hearing “If you don’t like X, don’t play/buy X,” is getting as old as the complaining.
^ +100
^ I agree SO MUCH with that statement. We want to play this game series, so we want it improved. Some don’t see another option as better. With regard to the DLCs and Seasonals, “don’t play them” or “don’t buy them” aren’t good excuses – because now we need to wait another week to 6 months (depending on the subject matter) for the new, hopefully appealing content, which could’ve been what we got this time around, had the developers simply looked at what the fans want.
^^^ +1 to the last three comments. The if you complain/do not buy is not cutting it anymore. In the end we are the consumer and expect a great product, if it is s**t or if it needs improvement, then it is our right to complain. In this case, it is bulls**t that we are not getting decent seasonal events, content, and others.
Isn’t this the only seasonal event with the gtr? Nor exclusive for any Nissan car? Lol besides the GT academy? Stop complaining dude lol
maybe nissan will work again with PD
watch the gt-r documentation they are showing how they worked with PD
its only good for PD so why should they not work so close together?
thats for JackC8
Thanks to PD and GT5 I don’t like Japanese cars anymore (especially GT-R, Skyline, BRZ, S2000, MX5 although we are good and interesting indeed). Even when I play Forza I almost don’t touch any car from this country (fortunately in that game Japanese cars are in the minority and the whole car rosster is well balanced).
However making time trials available for one car or specific groups (types) of cars is a good step forward.
In next time trials (or seasonals) use for example F40 with ABS off on Rome Circuit, Monza or Toscana. And use tracks like Top Gear, SSR7 or these with rainy conditions set on.
PD take advantage of GT5’s potential!!!

PD should really see about having Nissan fund GT6 as it makes a lot more sense than having Sony do it.
Yeah, only so the game could literally turn into “The Real Nissan Simulator”.

Just commenting to see if gammerdog will reply…. Seriously….. (Shaking head arms crossed)
LOL
What?
And you spelled my name wrong.
A bunch if you complains too much.
Don’t like skylines ? Don’t play it.
Simple as that.
D1GP drift ? Nice, never seen the name D1GP in an event. And, if you look a little, there is sktlines that isn’t AWD, there is some awesome RWD…
+1
And I wonder why I stopped playing GT5…
right
Right well, the time trials are OK but I had a problem with Cape ring. About 3/4 around the lap there’s the jump before the ring, and mostly every lap, even when I lifted, the cars’ front end left the ground but the back end jumped only slightly so I landed back end first so it invalidated. I MEAN HOW STUPID IS THAT?! I have to go quickly to beat gold but when I eventually got gold I had to brake and lose speed. Jumps always seem to invalidate your time so why have tracks where this will inevitably happen for time trials? Another example is the rally track Toscana. The jumps SOMEHOW invalidated your time, leading to me to give up in an utter rage. I mean you don’t see WRC drivers having times discounted ‘as they did a jump too fast’. Anyways got gold on both, only bronze on both DT’s which both just ended up annoying me. I also seem to remember doing EXACTLY the same London drift trial a while ago in the AEM. Don’t think it was the same catogory of cars but definately the same sectors.
i think it has something to do with crashing your frontend too hard on asphalt/gravel. For game its the same like crashing into the wall or so.
Yep. Just goes to show you how much PD actually test these Seasonal events themselves.
happened to me also earlier mate…it’s just stupidity of creators and another bug..another of many many bugs :D
AT LAST!!!
NO F***ING 2J’s ON THE LEADERBOARDS!
Ikr. Hell must of frozen over.
You people really get that bothered because a Japanese company puts Japanese cars in it’s Japanese car game?
Next you’ll be complaining about GTA being set in America.
If Kaz wants to put 200 GTRs in HIS game that’s totally up to him.
Yes, he can. But he won’t, because that is ridiculous.
GT5 is 4% Skyline. That’s nothing.
And yet some people still whinge about it…
We whine because there is over 50 of them on the game. You only need 10 of them at best. And that is a bit too much.
dommage de ne pas pouvoir piloter les voitures des dlc dans les evenements en ligne! toujours les meme voiture chapparal en piste pour le contre la montre
Somebody didn’t read the OP…..
I swear they’ve done “Racing Cars at Cape ring” before. Also is it actual D1 GP regulations or have they just named it that to try and garner interest in them.
If they’ve altered the Drift settings I may come and do them but if its still got a flawed scoring system where it’s wheelspin on the racing line making the most points then they can call it all they want.
I just wanted to be the first hahaha.
I tried to word it funny.
Bah! It was only a matter of time lol
XD brilliant halloween trick, I do so love watching people froth at the mouth over 4WD drifting
Hahahaha right
Remember in D1GP rule book. “Only drive methods allowed shall be FR, MR, RR, & FF” that is the rule in chapter 1 of the rules and regulations of the D1GP of Japan
Skylines will not be suppressed!
Hummmm D1GP drift trial. I wonder if it is setup to the D1GP restrictions. If not then count me out
I don’t know why you people are complaining. Apparently, you didn’t notice the D1GP Drift Trial. Now, I haven’t always played the seasonals, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this.
one word: ….boring….
One more word: Adamantium
Cape Ring is BS! Don’t become airborne – instant disqualification.
2Js take center stage again for the 700pp time trial….
Trick or treat? Definitely a trick. Well played, PD and Nissan. Well played.
Nope. Not a trick at all. Just some new seasonals.
zoom! right over gamerdog’s head
Not the skylines. Not the skylines!!!
Yes the Skylines. Yes the Skylines!!!
Huur Skylines, Where is Spec III?
inb4 “Hurr Skylines where is DLC xDDDDDD so randumb”
Scariest thing ever: Skylines in a TT & Drift seasonal… D:
Sad thing GT5 made me hate GTR’s…
If GT5 made you hate Skylines, you are GT5ing wrong.
In before “Really? A skyline event” xD
I’ve always sucked at drifting on GT5v lol
Well that’s ok because GT5 always sucked because of Skylines.
And the Lack of D1 Rules
