Some of the lap times for GT4 around the ring were simply out of this world. I hope that GT5 has some sort of limitations in terms of running your cars with tunes online. I know there were some guys who could do 300mph+ with the Toyota GT-One etc. I could never get past 255mph. I donno how they'll go about holding rules in race rooms, but i do wonder if they'll have 'endurance' races online. That would be nuts.
But what I don't understand is why the pause button is acceptable to apparently everyone, but the notion of saving the race provokes a lot of hostility from people here. Is there really something so glorious about wasting electricity while you're off doing the more important things in life?

Nobody has connections with Lucas Ordonez?
I thought he was a special guest at the Madrid launch event.
If the party isn't taking place next week,
I bet he would know by now ?
And another thing..
"On a similarly positive note, I have been privately informed that review copies of GT5 were only briefly postponed and should still be in reviewer’s hands within the next few weeks. I can also report Sony is targeting a new release window within approximately 8-12 days after November 26th (“Black Friday” in the United States)."
Does this news come from sources not mentionned? And reliable sources?

With a two-year-old son who has a love of Thomas the Tank Engine DVDs, there's simply no way that I can leave my PS3 unattended while I go to work, and expect my race to still be running when I get home!
Totally understand.
I too would benefit from the pause & save option, but...
It does take the pressure away from the race, which will make the 'win' seem less satisfying..
At least with the pause-only option, it makes GT feel much more like a living beast - will my endurance race still be there when I get back???
Kinda adds to the thrill. but admittedly horrible for the environment!

^ Haha yeah. I still remember my mum turning GT4 off while I was at school, after we asked her about 5 times not to. Then we tried again the next day and the cleaner un-plugged it. So we tried again and left it on overnight, but the car had done so many miles by this time, the chassis was so pulverised that we couldn't finish the race. Finally we (me and my brother) A-specced the whole thing the next weekend in a completely new car - probably the best race I ever had on GT4. Would it have felt as good if I could just save it any time? Would it be as memorable? Some of these things shouldn't be too convenient.

Sounds interesting, but GT5 is going to be too diverse for me to do it.

No thanks, but would you like to join my GT40 team?

Regarding the 24 Hour or any other endurance races, I think there is no "correct" way of doing it. I prefer to do it online with friends in the same team, doing driver changes when pitting. If that's not possible with GT5 then I hope that you can use B-spec drivers as your teammeates. I would also like to have a save options for those who want it, like the old 24 Hour Lemans Game on PC and PS2.

I like B-Spec because I like to watch beautiful cars on beautiful tracks with beautiful graphics...

Which is why I said I'd happily take delivery.

So what happened to this menu? I don't see it in the video...
I have a theory that the Gamestop videos are of a really old build... notice also there is no rain and night time icon, even though it's on the same theme. And the allowed time of day is different as well.

I mentioned this before, It was suggested the GT official shots were mockups. But I'm inclined to agree with you.

Ok my eagle eye spotted something interesting 
That set of icons on the top left of the pic appears in the bottom left HUD of the Gamestop track creator video, but the white sections on the side of the car icon overlay are a single unbroken piece instead of the 2 blocks on either side in the pic. And they also move at 0:52....
it might be due to compression artifacts
