Geez, I think the last time I played I was on like A-Spec lvl 8 and B-Spec lvl 8. Just can't seem to do more than 2 or 3 races and I'm bored senseless. The most time I've put into this game was when my ADSL line was down...now it's fixed, don't see myself playing GT5 for a VERY long time. NFS (Although an arcade racer as apose to a simulator) keeps me going a lot longer than GT5.

^^ yeah most people I know are like that. Personally I'm the other way around, find very little challenge in arcade racers and therefore get bored easy. Find it way more fun to jump into a realistic racer and while I wont play for weeks on end, it is def something I'll be going back to over and over

Yeah I'm enjoying GT5. Slowed down a bit since ive done the licenses and special events and all other events besides endiurance, but seasonal events keeps things going.

I just want ai in 2 player mode, as I keep saying lol

Just updated and the best thing by far about the update for me atm is that finally doing upgrade parts doesnt take so long! there is def a noticeable improvement in the "thinking time" it takes to install.

you'll notice a lot of things have improved in speed.
try selecting a car... its so nice :3

omg you're so right THE SPEED!!!! Did some more of the seasonal events last night and finally got to lvl 30. Now I'm gonna need to hook my wheel up and do the X1 challenge...

Another GT5 Update, Version 1.0.7

Nothing really worth mentioning, just bug fixes and tweaks to the performance points system as far as I can make out so its only a 47mb update.

People still playing this game? Any new seasonal events or new content for more championships yet?

Yeah i log in every couple of weeks and will be for a long time to come Since I was last on, the new Seasonal events are an event for pre 1969 cars and the GT Acadamy event (which we're not eligable for).

New seasonal events are lame though... they should go back to the big xp big money format.

Remote B Spec is the most killer thing ever. I love it!

yeah i agree, they just not that worth it anymore...
Havent tried remote BSpec just because the races are quite short so doing them at work isnt really an option... How much XP you earning per race?

Had a look at remote BSpec wow talk about disappointing, you have to leave your machine on and connected anyway. Kind of stupid, was expecting the profile to just upload with your current winnings and XP not have to keep the machine on, might as well just play while I am at home.

Not very good implementation.

^^agreed. Was expecting the same. So if i have to leave my machine on, I may as well do the 8hr endurance races while i'm at work and the 4hr ones while asleep...

Not alot, but you're meant to be doing it with your friends and when everyone does it it helps.

My B spec has leveled from 26 - 28 mostly because of other people on my friends list. But like I said, it requires you and your friends to do it every once and a while and it helps everyone.

Well the races are either 5, 10 or 20 minutes. Just do a race a night and its hardly a problem.

As far as I am concerned tis a great way to level up your b spec profile and your racers.

Yeah you might as well.

It's a horrible way to level up, just do the endurance races and leave it at that, even the normal races that last 10 minutes are probably more worthwhile than doing this in terms of XP and credits.

Poorly implemented and could of been so much more. This game had great idea's but delivered on none of them

Ah... no way in hell im leaving my ps3 on for more then an hour on an endurance race from now on: am so glad saving during endurance races is going to be coming in a future update.

the first one, and the Formula GT championship is enough for me time wise.
The final races in the division before Endurance can give you better XP thats for sure, but you're helping out other ppl as well.

I do not need my PS3 to be on for other ppl to use my drivers and earn me EXP. When I finally log onto my ps3 and GT5 the game tells me how much credits and exp for each driver i own I have received.

So actually no, its not a horrible way to level up because you're leveling up without even having your PS3 on, if other people are helping by using your racers - which as I said is the whole point if your friends are willing to participate.

^^ didnt realise it worked that way... I only know of the "leave your ps3 on as a server" method.

Thats just a way to keep doing b spec racers when you arent at home.

Anyhow, you need to have racers set to online to do the new b spec properly.

New seasonal event came out yesterday for 80's japanese cars. Again min xp and money, but still fun.

Well not yesterday but Thursday.

nice to see 80's japn cars being used but I want some high XP races for a while.
