Damn, sorry if I got anyone's hopes up. It looks like you can't drive your friends' shared cars; it looks like the sharing is only there to show off. :(

Back to the begging then. Does anyone have a Formula Gran Turismo they could lend me for the championship?

As for the Historic Racing Car Cup, I forgot there's a way to get a good car for free to compete in it: Take It to the Track. You need a Facebook account to play it, BTW.

All you've got to do is play either game currently available, then at the end, create a grudge with a random recent person that shows up, then choose a few of your friends as well (it won't count as a created grudge unless they have the app on their profile, but if none of your friends have it, just play the game four times and pick a random person each time).

Create 3 grudges, and you'll get a GT race suit for your PlayStation Home character.

Create 4 grudges, and you'll get the Jaguar XJ13 Race Car (Chrome Line as well)! :D

OH F**K!!! The plan's backfired!

The XJ13 they give you isn't eligible to race, because there's no year on it! :(

Tried one of the seasonal events lastnight, the fiat 500 one. Managed to grab first on the firs track after a few attempts. Really loving it as its a great challenge, since you are restricted to BHP amount.

One thing that does disappoint me with GT5 is you can simply crackup the power and outpace 90% of the races.

Wish they had a class system similar to Forza 3.

For anyone wanting help with the special events, try these

1. 500 SS '08

- window weight reduction

- sports intake manifold

- custom transmission (140 kph)

2. CR-Z α '10

- window weight reduction, carbon bonnet

- sports intake manifold

3. RX-7 GT-X '90

- rear wing (20)

- catalytic converter sports

4. Challenger '70

- racing air filter

- custom transmission (240 kph)

5. GT-R spec V '09

- weight reduction 3, window weight reduction, carbon bonnet, rigidity improvement

- sports intake manifold

- sports exhaust manifold

I can borrow you a GTR AB if you need...it's not stock though.

Thanks mate but I managed to afford one!

Hey guys, my brother and I are trying to figure out how to get the Top Gear track and the Nurburgring in Time Attack or 2 player so we can just pick a car and send them round.

Neither are in our track lists. Do we have to do something to unlock them?

The Top Gear Test Track is unlocked when you get a gold in the first Top Gear event racing the VW Samba Bus iirc.

For the full Nurburgring course you have to get at least bronze in all of the AMG Intermediate events, which I think is unlocked at A-Spec level 11.

Just picked this game up last night along with the Logitech wheel for it.... just amazing! I just need to find a more sturdy item to attach the wheel to. Is there a way to upload pictures you take from the game to anything?

There is an option to export them to the XMB, then you can use the PS3 photo app to upload them to Picasa, or copy them to a USB pen drive and upload them through your PC.

Ok, I did that, just wasn't sure if there was a more streamlined process. Cool though.

What is up with the car sharing? Is that just to look at them in the museum, or are you able to use them, then have to return them?

To send a car to someone/receive, it's done as a gift. You can send 1 car per day. This is permanent, to get the car back the receiver would need to gift it back to you.

Sharing the cars allows people to browse them online but it's only to look at them. Basically you'd share your favourite cars in your online gallery.

Ah ok cool. This is actually the first GT game I've played, ever. But with a wheel, big screen set up, and close sitting, it is pretty intense and fun.

Golded the GTR Seasonal Event with 2.8 seconds gap between myself and the GT

Just drive the car with those settings. Use your head. I was riding the GT's ass on lap 4 but got a little aggressive in my excitement and took the final turn a bit wide. A bit of throttle control on the straightaway should get you to 165-166. Throttle control on the turns with these settings should allow you to accelerate while hugging the corners.

Hey AB, thanks very much for posting that GT-R setup! I managed to win the race easily after a few attempts. :)

Have you got the setups for the RX-7 and the Challenger races? Those are the only ones I've got left to do.

Never seen that before :/

It's new for the update :p It contains some of the harder to get cars you may need. Unlike the used car dealership inventory which refreshes the online dealership is set by PD and doesn't change until they want it to.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
