I'm talking about the Gold trophy for Gold in every single license, A/B spec and special events.

I'm not far off it, but just can't get the motivation these days.

How do you save a 24hr race mid through???

Oh, that gold? Easy enough, just use the X2010 heh. Assuming you can handle it you can easily get a dozen laps ahead of the next fastest car, then just leave it running for an hour so you don't need to do anything, then get ahead again and repeat like that, so you'll only really be racing maybe 20 hours of the 24 :)

Finished it earlier, got the bronze trophy (a bronze for that amount of time and work, nice and cheap there PD) and have pretty much put GT5 on permanent backburner now while I play other stuff.

Winning isn't the problem, it's the fact that it's a 24 hr endurance! To get the gold trophy you also need gold from the Seb Vettel event ;)

You can get the bronze trophy for endurance just by completing the B-Spec version, but to get the gold trophy you must have gold in every event.

I can't really use the endurance 24hr save thing as once you save and quit, when you turn it on you're instantly loaded back into the race.

I'm an active member on gtplanet and trade daily atm so I'll have to wait until I finish my trade schedule.
 
New update is finally here!

In a substantial update, Polyphony Digital has brought a wide range of tweaks, changes, and new features to GT5 with update v2.02. It’s available as a free download for all versions of the game, weighing in at 246MB.
Here’s a complete list of all the new changes, as released by Polyphony Digital:

Major Changes and New Features
  • Wheels can now be changed on Standard cars.
  • Downloadable contents can now be shared by multiple users with the Family Upgrade.
    (See Polyphony’s complete FAQ for more details.)
  • Cars purchased through DLC will now appear in the Car Dealerships. You can purchase additional versions of the same vehicles within the game using earned race credits.
  • A copy button has been added to the lower left of the settings screen. A settings sheet saved in either A/B/C can now be copied to A, B or C.
Gifts
  • Toyota 86 GT ’12 will be available to all players who install the 2.02 update.
  • Free coupons have been added that allow you to wash cars, change oil, overhaul your engine, or restore chassis rigidity in GT Auto. 10 coupons will be distributed for free to each of those who have downloaded the 2.02 update.
  • The Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 SPL. and five New Car Refresh cards will be provided to customers purchasing any DLC packs released in October 2011. The New Car Refresh can be used from the Special Coupons option in the items list, and will return your car to its brand new condition (before breaking-in the car’s engine). Equipped parts and current paint on the car will not be affected by this card.
Other Improvements
  • Pressing the □ button in the car coupon selection screen of the Car Delivery, will now allow you to exchange all car coupons at once (maximum number of coupons you can receive at once is 100).
  • Tire-wear speed adjustment
  • In GT Auto you can now see how the oil changes, aerodynamic parts, engine overhauls, and racing modifications will affect performance points and engine power, before and after their application.
  • In screens where the [Garage] and [Driver List] buttons are displayed in the A/B Spec events, Special Events, and Seasonal Events, pressing the □ button will now show the [Garage], and pressing the △ button will show the drivers list.
  • An option has now been added for ‘Max. number of participants – this is featured in the room settings of My Lounge.
  • Added ☆ marks which show the number of Gold Trophies attained in each event, in the event selection screen of seasonal events.
  • Racing sound effect adjustment
  • Steering assist controls (used when using certain controllers on Racing Karts) have been adjusted. This applies to steering wheels with a 200 degree turning radius. The [Steering Type] (Amateur/Professional) settings in the Game Options will be ignored, and the controller’s steering angle will now directly affect the tire turning angle of the car.
Correction of Known Issues
  • Fixed issue where you would overrun without resetting, when entering pit lane at low speed on some tracks.
  • Fixed issue with Performance Points calculations for the Red Bull X2010 and the X2011.
  • Fixed issue where the rear wing/aerodynamic settings were reset when switching between setting sheets.
  • An issue was corrected where the car would become stuck in autopilot from the pit lane if a certain condition is met in an endurance race on the Tsukuba Circuit. Also revised the entry route during pit stops and speed judgement.
  • Improved multi-monitor stability
Where is the new DLC?
New downloadable content – in the form of 5 new cars – is also about to be released, though it is not yet available. According a tweet by Kazunori Yamauchi (and interpreted by our own Shirakawa Akira), it should be released on or before December 21.

Can't say it was worth £3.19, I want new tracks.

must admit i have to agree.

only got the DLC since i still had some cash on my PSN card. not really exciting these cars. the Mini is pants, the Scirocco is nice, but tbh i am not really into FF cars. haven't tried the GTR yet, i would be surprised if it is that distinctive from all the GTR i have, but they are brilliant cars

hopefully we will get some tracks sooner rather than later - my track wishlist is quite long ;) - if they aren't releasing tracks then i am annoyed that the of the 2 tracks we got one was kart track. ok the lights are cool but honestly racing karts was fun the first day i bought the game, and would have much rather have had a track where i can race other cars fro my 1000+ garage. on a positive note at least they did a seasonal with the kart track, hopefully Spa is next

i thought they might of donw what they done last year, and increase the xp/money on races over the new year.

Dosent look like they have - last year it was done via an update, weve already had that.
 
I've only just bought this game, anyway I need 2.02 patch and find it's downloading at a terribly slow speed. Anyone else suffered this? :o
 
It's looking like it'd need half a day for some odd reason.

My connection is 5.5mb not 28k :eek:

The system update was downloaded quickly. Just can't say the same for the game patch.
 
How many MB is the 2.02 patch saying it is on your screen? It may have all the other GT5 patches included in that file and in that case it will take half a day to install + download. :)
