Anyone else notice Autumn Ring at the track selection?

Yep, that's Autumn Ring all right.

What's it like to play Gran Turismo 5 in 3D at Times Square? Meh...
But it makes for a good photo op

[Timppaq]

They were only letting players run through the very basic entry circuit. Oh, and every single car in the race was a Honda CR-Z

Now I understand

 

[JToipa]

Even so, that was surely an anti-hype article likethey did with KZ2 -.-

Guy's.do you think that PD will make more trailers before 2/11?

I hope so and I think it would be smart to upload something to PSN. Not a demo, but something else that will catch the eye.

AI cars don't seem to be immune to bumps anymore. Older build

Forgive me my English if I'm not right, but I think at the beggining Chris Hinojosa-Miranda asks the guy if he is from GTPlanet, doesn't he?

Haha he looks scared about that

If you go back to this post, you can follow the Autumn Ring discussion from its beginning (in this thread), yesterday afternoon (for me PST), and also see some nicely drawn maps of the connected Cape Ring 👍:

Indeed he does
But I wouldn't have recognized Chris if you did not mention it.

They mention that the G27 will ship right away while GT5 will ship on its release date.

What's the track at 1:07?
This is from that old E3 trailer (2006 I presume).

Logitech G27 Racing Wheel with free Gran Turismo 5 for £219.98

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-012-OP

Thanks so much for this!

I was looking around for the cheapest price I could find for a G27, and all I could find was extortion. In America, they pay less in dollars ($220) than we do in pounds (£260), which is a blatant rip off, and Amazon and the likes will not let you import an American wheel.

Unless anyone else on GTP has successfully imported an American G27, and despite import taxes, still saved money?

Regardless, that's the best deal I've seen for it so I'll snap that up straight away

All scenes between 0:55 and 1:12 are (imo pretty poor) target renders. Not tracks.

Are you suuuuuuuuuuuure?

They will probably get it because world premiere GT5 event is scheduled for October in Madrid.

The winner of Belgian Mercedes-Benz/GT5 competiton will get a free trip to that event.

Details about the event itself are still scarce, though.

I just received a letter telling me that I won the first part of this contest. I get a nice USB key Mercedes-Benz key shaped. And I'm invited to the closest Mercedes dealer from my home to do 2 laps with the SLS AMG on a track. It's not specified what track it is but I imagine it's the Nürburgring. Excited!!!

It's from a portion of a an old trailer (a few years old), It looks like SSR11?. I wouldn't use it as confirmation of any thing in GT5.

 

[witham]

I pleased about 7 new tracks/variations the look nice and twisty to

And on another note I thin it's about time PD release a official flashing image trialer of all the cars and circuits complete with a list of the cars and circuits as I think it is only fair we get to know now.

It's only for Belgium. You sign up on Mercedes site you answer some easy questions and a subsidiary one, and if your answers are correct, you are selected (like me ) to the next step of the contest wich consists in 2 laps with the SLS AMG on a track. If you are fast enough you may win: a PS3 with a logitech wheel and GT5. A trip to Mercedes-Benz House and dinner. A citytrip to Madrid as exclusive customer from Belgium, acces to the private Gala of GT5 launch, and last but not least transfer to the airport in the SLS AMG driven by a DTM driver. Lucky Belgian we are

He still has to get through the Benz on a track challenge I believe, if he can't make it, he's done. But please ask the winner if it's not you to take pictures of it!

As your northern neighbour I'd like to congratulate you and wish you good luck in this contest.
Let me get this straight though, you actually get to drive a real SLS AMG on a track?
If so, than even if you lost, that's in itself a great price for answering a few questions, well done.

Thank you, but I meant the Premiere in Madrid

If I'm of the party in Madrid of course you'll get thousands of photographs.

I'll ask the winner if I'm not able to be the one

Dank U wel! It's not the real deal but It will be on GT5 which is already awesome. We are only 200 to be selected and I'm training on the Nürburgring like a hell so I have some hopes.

Thank you, but I meant the Premiere in Madrid

Haha LMAO, that premiere if I'm right is a party held each time a new GT is about to be released, take a look at GT4's party

 

[SuperShouden]

Just an observation, but it's a little unusual to have both the Custom parts AND Racing Modifications. (I think Auto Modelista had something similar) So, we can make our cars look like the "Tuned" versions from GT5P or turn them into full fledged race cars like the Citroen GT Race Car. Pretty Sweet!

Oh nice, didn't know about that. I'm a bit far from Madrid but I have friends there, one of them is also GT fan and also my younger brother will surely go to the event, so he could upload some photos and videos

+1 👍

Yes, it looks you will be able to give that two different styles to your car

Graag gedaan ( you're welcome ), okay not the real deal but with "only" 200 I guess at least you'll have a far greater chance than for example the TT-demo.
Keep practising and I'll hope for you, you'll win ( not just for you but having a representative at the launch party supplying footage would be well appreciated ).


, Nice one speedfreak69, looks very, ahem, convincing....almost had me fooled.
