Gran Turismo 5

Will definitely hit you up next time I see you playing GT5, I fired it back up a few weeks ago to update the game (11 patches ) but looking forward to getting some races in and to continue my SP Career.

Got the Collector's Edition when this game was released.

Hell we might even be able to have a fun GT5 night this weekend or something. Me, you, amarant, Pepper, and I know a few others still have it. Get us together and open up a public room. Would be fun.

Hey Handle and Pepper, put your B-Spec drivers online.

Ive only run a few B-Spec races, never really saw the point in running races where I am not driving. How would I put my driver online anyways. Everything is so damn confusing when it comes to PSN lol

When you're in the GT Mode area, go down on the left side and click the helmet (which is your drivers). Select your driver and then go over to where it says "share with friends." Then we'll be able to use your guy in remote B-Spec races and it'll earn you money.

[PepperNY]

ah, ok. I'll do that tonite

[PepperNY]

when you get a chance you should collect the prizes and XP of your driver, he is pretty bad, will help you earn some more money with better finishes. He ran off the track 6 times in 1 lap at Suzuka earlier lol.

lol, like i said i really havent run much on b-spec.

Yes but if your drivers are shared, others will be using your drivers

My B-Spec drivers are about to enter the last lap at the 4 Hours of Nürburgring. Got about a 15 second lead on 2nd place right now.

[Swarley]

WOW, FUCK THAT WAS INTENSE haha. 2nd place car caught me, and ended up passing me on the long straight at Nürb on the final lap. My guy got a good run off the final corner and ended up taking the lead back on the final straight on the GP circuit. Passed him maybe 100 feet before the line. That was fucking crazy. 4 hour race and it comes down to the final few hundred feet haha.

[PepperNY]

I guess I am a little confused. how do you guys do this remotely? I did log in and collect my money and xp and afterward i tried racing with him and it said i cant race with shared drivers so I created 3 other drivers

You click the 'Community' tab, then scroll down to the 'Remote Race' icon. Once in there you can choose from a variety of events. You can use one of your B-Spec drivers and then add in anybody else's B-Specs that are being shared.

Hate on it if you'd like but I'm diggin' it!

Gran Turismo 5 Gets Free 2014 Corvette DLC
Take the 2014 Corvette Stingray for a spin.

The 2014 Corvette Stingray is coming to Gran Turismo 5 as free downloadable content tomorrow. The car was originally released as the C7 Test Prototype in November (and covered by a tarp) but will now be fully unveiled just one day after its reveal at the North American International Auto Show.

“During the creation of the virtual Corvette Stingray, careful attention was paid to the tiniest details of the new design inside and out, as well as to the enhanced performance and driving characteristics — right down to the shift schedule for the 7-speed manual transmission,” SCEA associate product manager Ken Chan wrote on the PlayStation Blog. “The Corvette Stingray will produce an estimated 450 horsepower and 450 ft. lbs. of torque, is capable of accelerating from 0-60 in less than four seconds and will achieve more than 1g in cornering grip. It will also be the most fuel-efficient Corvette ever, exceeding the EPA-estimated 26 MPG of the current model.”
