I'm guessing that you would have to buy them again from the region appropriate PSN store.

As an example, one release of the GT Academy happened sooner in the European regions than in the US (This goes back a few years, I think the one at Indy Road).

In order to get to the right PSN store, I had to create a PSN ID that used a UK address (With UK as my country) and then I was able to see the Download in the PSN store.

This is speculation on my part, but I would not be surprised if this were the case.

Yes this is the case. NTSC content, including DLC won't work with a PAL disk and vice verse. The only way to get it is to download and pay for it again from a PAL store (UK, AUS, etc).
 
When the DLC came out you could only use the DLC content with the account you purchased it. I had to run the Spa TT (Week 38) offline on my other account. I knew the DLC data was already there with the patch and just had to be unlocked, so I did a little test. I exported my ghost replay and imported it into my GTP account and watched it without a problem. You don't need to buy the DLC to watch a replay that involves a DLC car or track.

Thanks for the info. I was concerned because I knew when Spa came out, you didn't need to have it to race on line there as long as the host had it. I heard now you can't race there if you don't have it. I don't know for sure (because I have all the DLC's), but that's what I hear.

Interesting experience last night. Got home and set up an account as an individual in Turkey with a fictitious address somewhere in Istanbul. Tried to input my credit card info into PSN Store and of course it wouldn't take it as my account with WellsFargo is obviously not in Turkey. I could put in all the correct info, but it won't let you change the country!

I bounced around in different areas and was somehow able to get the system to take my credit card info with Turkey as the country. Cool!! Back to the store to see if I could buy any DLC. Nope!! Apparently Wellsfargo can't make the jump to Turkish Lira or is balking at approval due to Turkey as the country in the address.

I'll download an old PAL replay from Spa or indoor Kart track and see if it will play. If it does, I'll give up on the DLC idea for the PAL version.
 
How soon will Motegi be used for a combo? I'm less than a dollar short on PSN and probably won't plan on getting funds on PSN until right before I need the track.

Or at least an estimated time frame on how soon it will be used.

For WRS, it will not be week 73, but may possibly be week 74.
 
I haven't really been active since WRS 10 for GT5, and I am looking to start up again. Do I stay in my division? Or do I have to requalify for it? Thanks in advance!
 
Leaving in a few hours to Estoril Race Track, Lisbon, where the Portuguese GT Academy finals are being held.

Wish me luck. :sly:

Good luck!!! No matter what happens you can be proud to have made it that far! I'm jealous.
 
Patrick Crider (GTP_Sohnvonstig) made the finals as racer X and has now pushed out the 32nd fastest and moved into the top 32!

Go Patrick.

And the most luck to you Joao. Be fast, be clean, tear it up!!
 
My GT Academy Leaf is online if anyone needs it for the special race & TT events (on my GTP account -- just send an FR if we're not already friends and you need the car).
 
With the 4 WRSerz from the U.S. I wonder how many we'll get from all the other events? Maybe someone can put a list together. Best of luk Joao 👍
 
Thank you all :dopey:

Great experience, but didn´t make the cut to the second day, and the top 16, but in our country only the first 3 are going to Silverstone.

Not making excuses but my practice and of a lot of portuguese mates were completely wrong.
We tought that the finals were based on races against each other, so for the first time i went online and trained for it (and i´m really bad, need a lot of practice :nervous:).
Well, arrived there and it was all about time trials :ouch:
But that´s what i like right? But i also trained almost with sports hard, and all the cars had race hards :ouch:
And if that was not enough, on two of the three TT, i was placed on Pod 4, the same pod that on day 2 one of soon to be second place said that was something wrong with it, and the organization found a delay between the PS3 and the TV :grumpy::yuck:
On that two TT i found i was really slow, but was blaming the DFGT (so much inferior to my G27) and what i think was to be to close to the TV :banghead:

But no more excuses, had a blast, and went from my home town with 3 mates, and when we came back i had with me the overall winner :cheers:, 4º place and 12º place :dunce:

Some photos here.

And look at minute 1.10 and 1.18 :sly:
 
Feel disappointed for you Joao, but it shouldn't matter as long you had a good time.

I think one more year of WRS TTs will give you enough practice for next time :).
 
Making the first cut is already something to be very proud of Joao. 👍

You had a great time. That's the main thing you should have had.
 
Has anyone with a Fanatec wheel been able to successfully get the RA functions working with the buttons on the wheel after they are assigned? Would be nice if it was possible so I wouldn't have to keep a controller plugged in and on when I'm on track.

I've had my Fanatec PTWS set up to do this for quite some time.
