Ooh, I better start downloading the patch soon then! :)

You can also turn the hud off now.

Mechanical damage is now available for offline races. Also they added a Grip Reduction on Wet Track/Track Edge option.

Savefile can be backed up now, thank you PD.

You can now choose to use your custom playlists for the Menu's as well as the Race(Now 2 sections for BGM music)

Replay rewind

You can choose to turn off your speedometer and leave the other stuff (like time) or turn everything completely off.

More credit for race.

I just have a quick run on "American Championship - Indy". The credit is increased from 98000 to 117000 now. The XP is still the same...

You can restart a race directly after quitting it (without having to load the event again).

[Ebi]

i hope they fixed the AI too cause man they are annoying!

Don't try cheating now that you can backup your save file :p

DO NOT DO THIS !!! I just copied my save data from my main account onto my friends account on the same ps and it copied but when you load the game it says you can not use someone elses saved file a new one will be created for you and you lose EVERYTHING !!

Seasonal events, online is up now

Online race rewards and experience confirmed! Seasonal Events are PD made events that have specific race requirements and you'll also earn rewards and experience for that.

The online dealership looks good, it's full of rare used cars. Once I get to 10million you can bet I'll be spending some here. It even has a green FGT in it.

&

Online Collector's Dealership is basically the rare cars you need for the game, without having to "grind" the day progress trick to get them to appear.

Some trucks, some DTM cars and the Polyphony F1 are among them.

Pretty impressive patch.

Replay rewind

Thankyou! More photo mode joy! (Should of been in there from the start though :p)

[MightyJordan]

Seasonal Events are actually A-spec !

Bonus Race No. 1 (5 races with over 2.5 million prize money and TONS of xp)

Time Trial No. 1 (2 time trials with rankings)

Drift Trial No. 1 (2 drift trials with rankings)

Two weeks only.

Also it seems some missing engine sounds and headlights have been fixed.

Groovy additions, its nice to see patches that add stuff in games that have been requested for once and not just stuff the developers slowly throw out when they want to.

Great support so far.

Your garage has been tweaked. It now stays on whatever you left sort by on eg, max power, country etc. instead of date acquired. If you exit out of gt life though it defaults to make, until you change it again.

The spam isn't my fault, blame da patch (

30k here I cooooooome

Full official patch notes, missing a few of the minor tweaks already posted.

Update Notice (1.05)

A new update has been released for Gran Turismo 5.

The main contents of the update are as follows:

Seasonal Events

[seasonal Events] have been added to the upper left side of the [GT Mode] - [GT Life] screen. From here you can participate in official online events from the Polyphony Digital team. In these events, all participants under the same regulations, and if you complete the event you will win rewards and experience. In Time Trials and Drift Trials, compete on the leader boards with players around the world.

Online Dealership

An [Online Dealership] has been added to the left center of the screen. In here you will find popular and rare used cars. You might just come across that one car you've always been looking for, that you haven't been able to find in the used car dealership.

Online Race Rewards and Experience

When you complete a race in the open lobby or my lounge, you will now gain rewards and experience points. Therefore if you are focused more on playing online, you'll still be able to gain rewards and levels that you need to progress in GT Life.

Driving Distance and Number of wins in Online Races

The driving distance and number of wins you achieve when you complete a race in Open lobby or My lounge will now affect your stats in Profile and the Garage. Here again the results from your online play will cumulate within GT Life

Improved Rewards

The rewards for winning races in Both A-Spec and B-Spec in GT mode- GT Life have been increased for a limited time only. This applies until the end of January 2011. This is a great chance for those who were previously have difficulties getting ahead in the game, due to lack of funds for tuning and purchasing required cars.

Race Information Display

Is now available in the Start-Quick Options. You can also see this in Race Display in Options.

Save Data Backup

You can now copy and restore your save data. For details please refer to the in-game Manual

Personal BGM (menu)

From [options]-[hardware]-[Audio], it is now possible to set the Personal BGM (menu). This can also be accessed from the Music Library within GT Mode.

Car Name Change

The official name of the "Red Bull X1" has been changed to "Red Bull X2010"

Integration within the website

The main features within GT Mode - Community can now be accessed through the "Gran-Turismo.com Official Website.

Important Note

We have made improvements to the Log within GT Mode - Community section,

in order to make its operation more stable. Please note that the information that was here before the update has been reset.

Another small, but welcome visual change

When you select a car now, the 'Tuning' option next to 'Change car' is now appropriately renamed to 'Settings'
