Nice racing with you Amar. It was an off day for me actually... my driving was a little erratic.

Also:
This was my... "FUUUUUU" moment of the day.
IDK if I hit you off during your FUUUUUUUUUUUU moment or if it was the Caterham being the Caterham, if it was me I apologize. We had a tight race the first race... I was a little sloppier at Deep Forest.
To anyone that took part in today's online races, did anyone happen to save the SLS replay? If so could you export it to your XMB and PM me. Thanks. Going 14th to 1st in one lap does not happen every day.

Since we have some controls over the replays now maybe we can start making race highlight montages and such?
If someone can upload the clips I can put it together... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVPPJgTEtQY ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeV69LQ_8Vs

Nah it was all me. Car started to drift, and I enjoyed it bit more then I should have, till the point where I couldn't bring it back lol.
paskowitz said:
I saved it, I went from 15th to 4th but then screwed up at Carousel. I was doing such a great run. Dodging cars left and right. Ended up in 7th.
I'll try to upload it in a bit but mines the PAL version :/

Nice
I have the SLS replay in NA format if you want it. I'll try to upload it later tonight.
This afternoon was loads of fun! Here are my renditions of the Caterham race on Deep Forest and the SLS race on the Ring.

Keeping it clean
Trading paint with Toxa, sorry about that lol
Amar cruising along
Overcast weather with 50% chance of rain...
First corner went relatively well
Incident on the Karousel
Victory shot
The rest of the set can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/68544004@N03/

Might be around 50/50. You would be shocked at how good some of the guys are with a DS3. I couldn't believe it when halfway through the league it came out that three people I was certain were on wheels were DS3. G27 here for the record.
Getting a good force feedback wheel really does add a lot to the experience.

Since no one has answered this for you:
The game now loads the track first and takes you to the screen where you can set options and what not and loads the cars while you are at this screen. You cannot start the race until the cars are loaded, as indicated by the car names changing from gray to white on the right side of the screen.
Before the update it would load everything before you had the chance to set options.

That's doesn't surprise me. I'm far from an expert, but I put in faster lap times with the DS3. In the production phase, I saw a few videos of Kaz playing with one. The wheel is great though. I have a DFGT and it adds so much to the immersion factor.

The more spontaneous races are being organized here (or in the GT5 OT2). There are also organized races that occur on a weekly or bi-weekly basis over at the Neogaf Racing League and Super GT League.

Well guys... I'm officially disappointed... I'm trying to go through Arcade and try one of the new carts with the headlights up front and take it on the nurburgring at night... buuuut I don't have that option... so I was like "hey, I'll just make one in the middle of the night".... no option to do such thing either....
Sigh...
I was really hoping for some Gaf Night Kart races. =/

I am pretty sure the overall load time has still decreased, even if you have to load the grid separately now.

How wonderful, I fully install the game, then download all the updates, then while its loading the game it tells me I have insufficient space.
I have 230 GB free. WTF
Edit: Deleted save file and it worked. Thank god I didn't have any progress saved.

You can assign any button to any function now, and I believe the FFB strength setting works now too.JWong said:

Anyone else having brutal menu lag when online? Game sometimes gets completely stuck and I have to log out to progress to the next menu.

I don't know, there just wasn't a way to do it in Arcade mode.

I started a new career just for fun, and A-spec mode is so much better now because of the new exp system. There's literally no grinding for exp. (and I remember when I first played A-spec mode the early game was really grindy)

i want a mclaren f1 stealth car that was available as a pre order bonus. what would be the best way to get ahold of this car?i can trade- or whatever - it honestly is necessary for me as there is still no mclaren f1 lm

Okay, I think the alpha effects are reduced also. Someone needs to do a V1.0 vs Spec 2.0 comparison to settle this discussion once and for all.

Best way is to buy a Signature Edition, I heard it is really cheap these days.
Stealth (and Chrome models that come with collector's edition) are locked to console and only way to have them is to have someone who owns them share his PSN ID for you so you can also download them from his download-history.

Awesome pics guys, especially Polyphony
DORIFTO A GO-GO BABY
As much as we like to laugh about the suits and racing gear matter, I love being able to recognize myself when we're using the same car and colour.
Oh BTW Polyphony,
That was me, but no worries, it was awesome.
HOLY SHIT WHAT I'M TRYING THAT RIGHT NOW FUUUUUUU
Between this and Spa you're going to kill me Mush

The Caterham love is great in this thread. Makes me even more desperate for a premium R500.
[edit] or is that an actual Lotus 7? I forget...

Not actually that important
Not my fault for the double post buddy I swearbrotkasten said:
Secondapps is completely fucked up for me today, I got posts from different days all over the last page for example :O
But I love the standard cockpits that are actually there!
Loving the improved load times and I had forgot how far GT Life has come since the beginning now that you can access the tuning shop from the race menu.

Was there going to be anything about playing your B-Spec Character on the website without keeping ps3 on? Or was that just my imagination?
There sure is: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=443226&page=4eemijun said:

The track loading before cars is only one aspect of the better load times, the track itself and the overall time from menu to race start is significantly reduce. It is a massive improvement no matter which way you slice it. This update is awesome. So tempted to start a new career under a different PSN name.

It's pretty obvious that they're not ONLY splitting/hiding the loadings, but the loads themselves are massively reduced like you said. Yesterday I did a Time trial in Tskukuba and it took like 3 or 4 seconds. Before, even with no other cars to load, it took 5 times as much, or more.
It's kinda of weird, I'm used to loading the track, getting up and stretching a bit, I got up when I looked back at the tv the loading was done lolol.
