Looks the the Seasonal Events are going to be really good for earning cash and leveling up ;D


4,979,450.

I guess it's around the same. This dealership is meant to give you cars that may be required for the Seasonal Events. That's what it says at least (:

This seems like a HUGE update guys!

binary, answered your question in my post above

Wow, really happy with this update so far, excited

Gonna get to work with the Seasonal Events!

It's worth the wait

Lol sorry, actually I updated it and posted

Got a bit too excited

Actually, what SQL said is true. The bump up in Cr. and EXP won from A-Spec and B-Spec only lasts until the end of January. PD are most probably preparing a huge patch for then to bulk up A and B-Spec so excessive grinding of the same races would not be too necessary.

"Update Notice (1.05)

A new update has been released for Gran Turismo 5.
The main contents of the update are as follows:

Seasonal Events
[Seasonal Events] have been added to the upper left side of the [GT Mode] - [GT Life] screen. From here you can participate in official online events from the Polyphony Digital team. In these events, all participants under the same regulations, and if you complete the event you will win rewards and experience. In Time Trials and Drift Trials, compete on the leader boards with players around the world.

Online Dealership
An [Online Dealership] has been added to the left center of the screen. In here you will find popular and rare used cars. You might just come across that one car you've always been looking for, that you haven't been able to find in the used car dealership.

Online Race Rewards and Experience
When you complete a race in the open lobby or my lounge, you will now gain rewards and experience points. Therefore if you are focused more on playing online, you'll still be able to gain rewards and levels that you need to progress in GT Life.

Driving Distance and Number of wins in Online Races
The driving distance and number of wins you achieve when you complete a race in Open lobby or My lounge will now affect your stats in Profile and the Garage. Here again the results from your online play will cumulate within GT Life

Improved Rewards
The rewards for winning races in Both A-Spec and B-Spec in GT mode- GT Life have been increased for a limited time only. This applies until the end of January 2011. This is a great chance for those who were previously have difficulties getting ahead in the game, due to lack of funds for tuning and purchasing required cars.

Race Information Display
Is now available in the Start-Quick Options. You can also see this in Race Display in Options.

Save Data Backup
You can now copy and restore your save data. For details please refer to the in-game Manual

Personal BGM (menu)
From [options]-[hardware]-[Audio], it is now possible to set the Personal BGM (menu). This can also be accessed from the Music Library within GT Mode.

Car Name Change
The official name of the "Red Bull X1" has been changed to "Red Bull X2010"

Integration within the website
THe main features within GT Mode - Community can now be accessed through the "Gran-Turismo.com Official Website.

Important Note
We have made improvements to the Log within GT Mode - Community section,
in order to make its operation more stable. Please note that the information that was here before the update has been reset.

Some contents of the update will not be applied unless you sign into the Playstation Network when you play the game."

Reach Level 35 and you get it for free if I'm not mistaken

That's the easiest I believe. If I'm not mistaken, the Fiat 500 race is the hardest. The one at the Special Stage is also quite easy, use a GT-R SpecV '09

I haven't played much yet. Done the 2nd and 5th races. Only got a silver on the 1st race. Going to gold that today and do two more.

@binary I love your siggy bro

I'm guessing you want it for the Drift Trial?
