[Sven De Nys]

Ohh this is sooo funny I'm currently driving the Pro events online, and on Daytona it's so wonderful I'm driving a Ferrari F430, and I always win ... Mwuahahaha... Sometimes they even try to ram me of the road into the grass right before the finish, but still I win! I'm so happy when they ram someone of, to win, and they don't ...

Industry leaders PlayStation and Nissan have come together to create the ultimate competitive driving test – GT Academy. GT Academy is an eight-month European competition which combines virtual and real-life racing to make the wildest dreams of two aspiring race drivers come true.

Find it yesterday, i will give it a try, very very veryyyy nice prices, must find some energy to lift in the playseat to the livingroom though, becouse driving with the siaxis controller put me 6 hole secs after the Swedish record

[Peter Eriksson]

Well.........he seemed to like it.

[Peter Eriksson]

Find the energy to lifting out the playseat to the livingroom, and for now i have a ticket to the swedish final (Dubai here i come ) at 16th place but beeing over a sec behind im not pleased yet.

Any body knows how to remap the buttons so the handbrake can beeing set as a button on the wheel? (im using a G25)

[Peter Eriksson]

Got an answer at PS3 forum if anybody intrested

"If you go on to the wheel config you can actually use the GT FORCE Pro to map buttons for G25. Just got to R2 and change it to handbrake and that'll make it the right hand button on the G25 wheel. GT FORCE Pro is the third option along, second is the New GT with red dial, first is the basic FFB setting for all wheels. It may work on other wheels supported but I haven't checked."

[Roy Visser]

I should give this a go, but first find cables to use my sim instead of the sixaxis

[Peter Eriksson]

Bahhh its hard to keep up with the swidish fanatics now, a perfect lap would give me a mid 1,21 but it still hasent come.

[Peter Eriksson]

Wohooo i think im in for the Swedish finale, at the moment 13th place with only one working foot and 30 minutes to go

[Peter Eriksson]

How many here made it, would be nice to know if someone else is going to race the nationsfinal, here in Sweden the final will takeplace the 15th of august, will be fun i think.

Just wanted to say congratulations to Ahmad El Azmi of Kuwait who came out the fastest out of 10,000 drivers in the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Middle East Challenge 2008. Preliminary races took place in the middle east during June and early July, with finalists being invited to Dubai for the final showdown. He won a bag load of prizes including a trip to Japan to test drive a Nissan GT-R, a “GT Racing Pod”, 40″ Bravia LCD TV, and a new PS3. Lucky guy...

[Peter Eriksson]

Lucky and fast guy.......gratz to him

[Bradley Wint]

Well I am gonna assume the new update is out since it's August first now.

The update features major new features such as the much talked about Gran Turismo which features a host of pre-recorded shows, mostly about racing and even includes some Top Gear episodes. The shows are $0.99 each for the first two weeks (special intro price). Also there are a few physics tweaks which improve car collision effects, a wider range of tires and and improved penalty system, as well as a few other things.

Gran Turismo Prologue owners will soon be able to get their hands on the Lotus Evora in a soon to be released update. The funny thing is, the car is not available for sale in real life just yet. It was first previewed at the British International Motor Show but will not go on sale until 2009. Only 2000 of these rear wheel drive, mid engine machines will be produced at BP 50,000. The Ferrari California is another example of an available GT5 car that is not yet for sale.

GT TV is now offering some free content on the system. It’s the “Intro” to the Top Gear seasons available for sale, showing the season highlights. So if you are too cheap to purchase the shows or just want to ensure you get your money’s worth for any Top Gear purchases, check it out now. Also Polyphony has published the in-game video of the Ferrari California.

I am very disappointed that there a so very few cars. GT4 ghas over 500 and this only has 71. Man GT5 was one of the main reasons I wanted a PS3 but this is bad
