For those of you who want to share cars with your friends and are angry with the new update remember that with 1.06 the share car function was implemented properly.

Now you can share up to six of your cars and anyone on your friends list can borrow them, this is applicable for all the cars other than stealth cars.

Borrowed cars can be used for A-Spec, B-Spec and seasonals.

You cannot buy mods, change setup, or take borrowed cars online though.
 
I was looking how this worked. It is difficult to find.

Thanks tunerspit.com

How do I lend a car to someone?
Cars can be borrowed once they have been shared with friends, which can be done by selecting a car from the Garage and selecting "Share with Friends" from the menu that appears when the Triangle button is pressed. "Share with Friends" can also be selected from a car's details screen.

How do I borrow a car from someone?
To borrow a car from a friend, first select the friend from the Friends tab in the Community section of GT Mode. If that friend has shared any cars, they will appear at the bottom of the profile information displayed on the right-hand side. Select the car you wish to borrow, then select "Borrow" from its details screen, and it will become the car you are currently using. Cars can still be used normally by their owners when they are on loan to friends.

Were and how can I use the borrowed car?
A borrowed car can be used in A-Spec and B-Spec events, Special Events and Photo Travel mode, and you can also change its settings and register it as a favourite, but you will be unable to do the following:
- Use GT Auto.
- Use the Tuning Shop. => you can not buy, but you can use or not use what is installed.
- Share it with friends.
- Give it to friends.
- Sell it.
- Use it in online races.


What if I change to another car from a borrowed car?
If you change from another car from a borrowed car, the borrowed car will be returned to its owner. If you have changed the car's settings, those changes will also be lost, and the settings on the owner's side will be unaffected.

Any exceptions?
You cannot borrow gift cars acquired from the PlayStation Store, or any cars of the same type as those you already own and are sharing with friends.

At 6 cars shared per person, you only need 6 friends to share all of these. Trouble is that your friends are limited to 100.
Ill work on a setup tonight and suggest friends (that do not have a lot of friends on PS3) for sharing.

=============================================

Are we working on an exploit to circumvent the consequences of the 1.07 measures against the Duping exploit?
Just seems like normal functionality to me.

=============================================

Silly idea: As rent for sharing, you could ask people to run some remote B-Spec races with shared drivers from time to time.

As the Gift restrictions have been imposed maybe it is time for a rethink by PD on the way the cars are shared in the game. I would rather like to use cars I allow others to borrow. I could decide to unshare a car because I want to use it just as a friend wants to borrow it. Not one of PD's best decisions to impose these extra restrictions.

What is wrong with wanting to use a borrowed car online. It may be the only way you can do a certain race.

I have shared my stealth cars no problem....

They can be "set online" but the potential borrower will get an error message when they try to borrow them. It's misleading to the generous soul who sets their 787B-Stealth to "shared".

Oh, that is misleading! There should be an error message at the owners end - thanks for the heads up... i'll unshare my stealth 787B and Mclaren f1 and put the slots to better use then i guess!
 
The borrowing of cars is a great feature. But it has one HUGE flaw and that's the fact that you can use borrowed cars online.
 
I have my own account ready to share a Chromes Mclaren F1, Citreon Race Car, Ferrari F10, And all the 3 historic cars - Jaguar, Ferrari 330 and Ford MK IV. Its open for whole weekend, feel free to add me.
 
I'll be rotating them around a bit - but starting with the 'expensive' stuff as others might need them for Historic races etc.

Thanks Dazza. I just ran the Historic Car Cup in your Ferrari 330. What a beautiful car!

I'm afraid I crashed at Monaco a few times. It's lucky that damage doesn't come back to you or I would be feeling terrible right now ;)

Haha, yeah, good job they left it out as nobody would share anything!

I added some to the spreadsheet.

It seems there is an issue with the calculation, I found more cars.
The list is also in the spreadsheet on a separate sheet.
 
Do shared cars accumulate miles? For instance if I share a car and my buddy uses it for an endurance race, do I have to change the oil? Or is this a non-issue. I apologize if this has been answered already.
 
You can't change setup or tune them either, you borrow the car as it is shared.

You Can change the setup, but it will return to default, or whatever the owners settings are.
And you are correct about the tune.👍
 
Good information thank you guys! Still wondering about the odometer though, If no one responds I will test myself this weekend.

Edit: Thanks v-fal

New seasonal events out today that use the 3 quick oldies - Ford MK IV, Ferrari 330 P4 and the Jaguar XJ13 - all of which I'm currently sharing.
 
I am in on this as well, I am not sure what cars to put up for sharing, so I guess just ask. I will put up a x1 and FGT for now.
