So Happy!!! Just bought 2 - racing chairs and 2 - g27's last week and have another ps3 hooked up to a HD projector with a 10' screen with a regular controller...

wow, thats like half the complaints ive seen fixed in one update. I think its a shame it took so long, but that is worthy of the download. Every car will now have an interior view and being able to save mid race in endurance is fantastic. The latter means I may bother to attempt them. BibiMaghoo

The point is Bibi thinks it's for all models. That's point.

You bring up a good point however 2 of the 3 pics do seem to have a good quality in-dash cams where the other just seems to be a tacky crap / black interior...

I don't even use that view anyway but do understand the complaints...

When I'm on my projector with the regular controller I like the 3rd person view and when I'm on the g27 / racing seat / 40" Sony Bravia I like the view where all the you see is the hood of the car and open road but that's just my preference...

Well, I haven't played Gran Turismo in a while, do to other commitments, so it slipped my mind on what has what now. Also, it confused what you had typed there lol.

Huzzah! Reason after reason to pop it back in! The Endurance Races are pretty much the only thing I hadn't finished on the A-spec (my B-spec is completely done) - The save feature on Endurance will make a big difference to me, as will all of the NASCAR changes (they NEED to add BRISTOL as a track, though. Or Martinsville, Dover, something smaller than a Super Speedway. But I digress.

Thank you for the way-informative post TC. You are a credit to gamers everywhere.

:D

Did they say anything about adding things like cautions to the NASCAR, and a spotter? There are a lot of little things missing in their representation of the sport... But a small thing over-all for my favorite racing game of all time (and Activision's "NASCAR 2011" is really where I go to get the fix for my NASCAR obsession, anyway). Still - Can't wait to get the update and DLC. Money well-spent.

:)

It's not really a nascar game and it never really has been but since they finally did get the nascar liscense then they should listen to those fans as well and continue to address it... It's hard to pack everything they have into that game they kinda went quantity over quality and miss the boat on many levels but there are alot of things the were able to implement and alot that they will continue to... But whatever I will continue to play it until GT6 comes out which is a long-long-long ways out...Swavo69420

Oh, granted that it's not NASCAR-centric in it's focus (so I have "NASCAR 2011" on m'shelf - LoL), but if they're going to have the sport, they should observe the essential components, and cautions & a spotter are pretty important to the whole stock car racing thing. Like I said, it's a tiny complaint. I really think the game is as good as a racing game can get (this is my opinion, and others here may vary, certainly, so all respect).

Thanks again for the notification about the release. I sincerely appreciate it!

So I guess you have trouble reading than, since I corrected myself. Ignorant much?

Oh wow... Finally the game will support my G27 wheel.... I don't have to use a 2nd controller to turn on my light, use wipers and change views. I hope the clutch will work better too.

This little British kid doesn't know when to shut up lol. Kids like him don't know how to behave and not know how not to cause trouble.
