Is there a way to see the debug window with the new version? I found it interesting to read some of the processes involved.

Hold CTRL + Shift when right clicking on the Yahoo widgets icon on your taskbar, debug mode should appear on the list, click that and close the widget. Re-open it and the debug window will appear again.

If you have 2 PS3's and run the grinder from a 2nd account, yes, if not, no.

If you select leave 0 drivers, how does the automation select B-Spec drivers used? Does it grab one or two from every friend with a shared driver or is it possible to select all of another accounts B-Spec drivers who you are certain are NOT online.

Wasn't much but yes I did. I can only imagine the amount of hours he's put into coding this little gem and reading all our complaints, debug scripts, and wants for the next version.

Is there a way to get 1 driver from each friend or just total randomness?

Quick update - I started up the v1.0 widget this morning without realizing I had gotten disconnected from PSN during the night. What was strange was the widget loaded, logged in successfully, then came back with a 'Racing' status, with the racing progress bar stuck near the end (around the 95% mark).
I signed back in on the PS3, went back to standby mode, reloaded the widget and all is well.

Hell yes. It's worth it.
Just tried to log in using the widget and received the following popup (text may vary slightly as I closed it promptly):
Should I try logging in again or ? I'm sceptical now to be honest.
Is this message from the widget itself, Yahoo, or maybe Playstation ?
ADDED:
OK, phew ( ! ), panic over. It loaded and logged in succesfully the second time - but what was the message above all about?
Thanks

Yonis,
EXCELLENT work. I just installed this for the first time a few minutes ago and it seems to be working well so far. This will definitely be worth a donation.
I agree the main thing you need is some kind of log (basic text file should be fine IMO) just so people know what is going on. As it is, there really isn't much information.
I also agree with a post a few back that you should make a configurable random delay between races. Not only would this reduce the load on PD (making them less inclined to block you) but it would also make the app essentially impossible to detect. As is, this app will restart races consistently faster than a human would ... other than someone who is staring at the GT5 page all day.
A "nice to have" would be a way to choose preferred/blocked drivers (from your own list that is) so you could either focus on just one driver or entirely ignore other drivers you dont want/need to advance.

Please run this command in the debugger and post the results:
JSON.stringify([CONFIG.currentEvent, CONFIG.events])

I'm not sure why it's not loading your profile. Have a look at the debug window to see if there are any clues, using the instructions here.
If a friend has six drivers, you can set it to leave at least 5 drivers free, and then it will get a maximum of 1 driver from each friend. If one of their drivers is already being used, though, or if they have fewer than six drivers, than you won't use any of their drivers. More granular controls are coming.
This is tricky because the race events are liable to change at any time, whereas the Widget Preferences are largely static and would be the place where you would normally specify such things.
The message is from Yahoo! Widgets. My guess is that Sony's servers redirected the Widget to a domain that I did not specify in my whitelist, and as a result, Yahoo! Widgets freaked out and closed it.

Logs and more granular driver selection are planned features! Nice suggestion for the log summary. Not sure about the random delay setting, though I am making some tweaks to reduce traffic on their servers.
