official Gran Turismo 5

[Hedon]

Mechanical damage is in the game, the patch is adding settings to toggle damage on/off for online races.

If it's in the game, nobody has found it consistently.

GT5 To Get Web-Browser B-Spec Mode

Gran Turismo 5, it appears, isn't finished. Technically, it probably never will be, with Polyphony promising to add features above and beyond what we'd normally expect of a game that's been on the shelves for a couple of weeks.

In addition to the recent updates, including today's online damage settings, it looks like the studio are planning some really killer features for the near future, including a web-browser based B-Spec mode that will allow you to monitor your AI drivers from the comfort of your laptop, if translations are correct.

Speaking on Twitter again, Kaz Yamauchi is answering public questions openly and candidly, as he has done in the past.

He's also mentioned that racing your mates on your custom designed tracks might also be in the offering soon enough.

Does anyone else think that adding a minor option in the game requires a 150 MB patch. :blink:

[rajputwarrior]

how do you get the x1 again? i know you have it aaron!

[Richard Hammond]

You have to beat Sebastien Vettel to win it, his challenge pops up in challenges at a certain level, 30 or 40 i think.

Does anyone have a Ferrari I can borrow? I really need one for the Ferrari race, and I've heard that there is a '76 Ferrari that is good on the Historic Racing Car Cup. I'm really hoping someone can help me. Maybe we can set up a trade if there is a car someone needs?

[Neo003]

Same here need ferrari for Professional Race.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Can someone hook me up with a car for the beginners Japanese Classic race? (about the 5th time I have asked, I will give up after this):blush:

Also for the next tier up, I think it is Amateur, can someone hook me up with a Pick Up Truck for those events with the Pick Up Trucks?

I will definitely be playing a bit later on tonight, in about 3 hours, so if you can send either of those cars my way, I will be able to send them back tonight, especially the one for the Japanese Classic, as I only need to do 2 of the 3 of those races.

The way I did the Ferrari race was to buy a 458 Italia, and then get racing tyres for it. I can't remember if I did anything else to it; I'm pretty sure I didn't, but just putting the racing tyres on it meant it was more than able to keep up with the Enzo. The Enzo still beats it a little bit on the straights, but that's it. :)

[Neo003]

DL I think you've enough money to buy the truck (2nd hand). Same goes for Japanese classic. I did that the tune the hell out of those, hence my current credit crisis.

Beware of the 1.03 patch. Got this from another forum:

"The latest Gran Turismo 5 patch (1.03) is causing some problems but it seems not everyone is suffering...

Supposedly, the patch is causing some GT5 gamers to lose their car collection, prompting them to reinstall the game from scratch."

No problems here.

[Livin in a box]

Doesn't it seem strange, virtually every time a new system update becomes available or a title update to a big game is released on PS3, articles seem to pop up left, right and centre about how it's destroying people's consoles...it really does get tiresome.

Looks like I'm the next person to jump on the shameful car-borrowing bandwagon. :p

I'm in need of two cars for Expert Series championships; one for the Historic Racing Car Cup (anything from 1979 or earlier), and the Gran Turismo All Stars (no restrictions). Here's the list of typical opponents for each series:

Historic Racing Car Cup

788 BHP 620kg Toyota 7 Race Car '70

711 BHP 821kg Chaparral 2J Race Car '70

678 BHP 1168kg Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C2) Race Car '63

541 BHP 998kg Jaguar XJ13 Race Car '66

527 BHP 998kg Ford GT40 Race Car '69

524 BHP 1000kg Ford Mark IV Race Car '67

516 BHP 792kg Ferrari 330 P4 Race Car '67

491 BHP 771kg Chaparral 2D Race Car '67

Gran Turismo All Stars

939 BHP 900kg Nissan R92CP Race Car '92

927 BHP 893kg Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car '89

914 BHP 894kg Jaguar XJR-9 LM Race Car '88

908 BHP 900kg Nissan R89C Race Car '89

906 BHP 850kg MINOLTA Toyota 88C-V Race Car '89

799 BHP 750kg Peugeot 905 Race Car '92

794 BHP 900kg Pescarolo Courage - Judd GV5 Race Car '04

789 BHP 1000kg Nissan R390 GT1 Race Car '98

789 BHP 950kg Audi R8 Race Car (Audi PlayStation Team ORECA) '05

Obviously, I would prefer anything near the top of the lists. :p I'll promise to send back the cars after I've finished with them. If I'm doing bad with them, then there's a good chance you'll get them back with some upgrades on top. ;)

Argh, the final race at Daytona in the NASCAR championship is agonisingly annoying! :angry: After about a dozen retries after being spun out every time, I just came 2nd, only 0.027 seconds behind the leader!

I hate NASCAR too but those races are easy peasy.

How about a patch to make the A-Spec, B-Spec, Arcade, License and Special AI smarter?

Thanks, much appreciated, I just saw this thread this morning or I would have done it last night, I got obsessed over that stupid Volkswagen bus Top Gear Special Event.

Anyway what is your PSN name?

EDIT - Never mind I found it in the PSN post...

Just do the final championship in the expert, you make some good coin for the 45 minutes you drive. :D

I'm good with only B-Spec.. cause my AI Driver can't overtake anyone on Tsubuka. :p. Which is like my home track. lol. :laugh:
