Features that you want to see in GT6 in a Spec 2.0 Update:
Arcade Mode:
Single Player:
Mode Selection:
Single Race: Race against computer-controlled cars on a track and car of your choice on a number of laps and/or opponents.
Time Trial: A total practice mode where you register the fastest lap time around a track with the car of your choice. There is no limit on laps, so, enjoy.
Drift Trial: A mode where drifting is heavily simulated- drifting is a strategy where cars lose grip but stay under control. It is recommended you use a rear-wheel drive car for this mode. You have two selections for this mode: Full Lap Drift (where it is a non-stop session unless you end it) and Sector Trial (where you will be tested on sectors of the track).
Time Rally Trial: This mode is where you race a full lap, with a time limit and plenty of checkpoints and plenty of computer-controlled cars for you to overtake. The more you make it through the track and overtake many opponents, the higher your score is gonna be. Hitting checkpoints will increase your time.
Drag Racing Competition: Do a drag race in Special Stage Route X's very long and speedy straight sections with a car of your choice and number of opponents.
Car Bowling Showcase: Around the Top Gear Test Track, see how much bowling pins you can bowl over on a single lap, they reward points when bowled over.
Car Soccer: This insane mode around the Top Gear Test Track's Soccer Field pits cars against each other in a game of car soccer.
Shuffle Mode: This one activates a random mode, with a random track and a randomly chosen car within the "All Cars In Game" category. Lap count, starting method, penalties and AI count are also at random. The only things you can choose or alter are the car, whether you want to personalize it or use the default colors, avatar personalization, tire and fuel wear, driving settings, track settings, quick-tuning, replay, data logger, saving replays, best lap replays and ghosts, leaderboards and whether you want to do an A-Spec or B-Spec race session.
Elimination Race: Race against the computer-manipulated cars, where the racer in last place is gonna go "CONTENDER ELIMINATED!!!" You have three selections for this mode: which are Full Lap Elimination, where opponents in last place get eliminated, Timed Elimination, after a set amount of 30 seconds, a racer in last place gets eliminated and Sector Elimination, where the last racer to cross the sector will get eliminated. In Timed Elimination, a race with one opponent will last 30 seconds, whereas a race with ten opponents will last for about five minutes.
Track Selection (with these categories):
World Circuits: Real-life circuits across the world, raced by many of the world's racing disciplines with a countless sea of cars racing through them.
Original Circuits: Fictional circuits created especially for the GT series.
City Circuits: Tracks around major cities across the world, enjoy the breathtaking views, but don't get distracted during the race!
Dirt/Snow Circuits: Rally racing tracks with the dirt, mud, snow and gravel as the pavement. Only rally-ready cars can be selected in this kind of track category.
Created Tracks: Tracks made with the Course Maker.
(NOTE: The Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb is only limited to Time Trial mode only.)
Car Selection (with these categories):
Custom Arcade Cars: Saved cars you have customized for Arcade Mode. They end up on this category, and it's up to a limit of 200 customized cars.
*HOW TO SAVE A CUSTOM ARCADE CAR: First, choose a car out of all the 1200+ cars in the game, personalize it (it is recommended if you want to save it as a custom arcade car) as much as possible to your liking, then after making the final personalization settings, quick-tune it if you want. In Race Settings, you'll find "Save Custom Arcade Car" with the custom design and quick-tune set-up.
All Cars In Game: All 1200+ cars in the game with all their default colors and liveries. You either have the option to drive them immediately or go and personalize a car.
All cars you can select are divided to four categories in "All Cars In Game":
"Manufacturer" (shows every manufacturer in the game)
"By Era"
"By Favorites" (You can register up to 200 individual cars)
"Car Search"
You can now have the option drive every single car in the game in kart tracks, and go-karts on tracks with variable weather settings.
(NOTE: When choosing Dirt/Snow tracks, some cars can't be driven, therefore lacking the ability to use Dirt/Snow tires.)
On a highlighted car of your choice before selecting it, press Triangle and it will be added to your Favorites.
If you choose not to personalize a car, you will be taken to a gallery view with the selected car, where you can choose the default colors of the car. Unlike the fact that in the Dealerships, gallery view is not available for standard cars, it is available for standard cars in Arcade Mode.
There are a set of backdrops when viewing the cars, such as "No Backdrop", "Day Backdrop", "Sunset Backdrop", "Night Backdrop", "Dealership Backdrop", "Vision GT Backdrop #1", "Vision GT Backdrop #2", "Vision GT Backdrop #3" and "GT6 E3 Backdrop". Press Up and Down buttons to change the backdrop, and press Square for a photo mode option to take a photo of the car. Press Select if you want to view the car's info catalog.
Criteria for customizing a car for Arcade Mode:
Personalization:
Paint Chips: Choose out of all the available Paint chips you have. You can then use it to paint the car's base color, or the brakes or the wheels (as long as they're custom).
Racing Number (premium cars only): Choose a base for the racing number, then the number itself and the font (on base models and other race cars with this, it is already there and you can set it up)
Rear Wings: Choose either a set of pre-set rear wings or create your own custom rear wing with your own adjustments.
Aero Parts (premium cars only): Choose either a set of body kits for the car.
Flat Floors (premium cars only): Add the option whether to add a race-ready rear diffuser on the undercarriage of the car.
Custom Wheels: Choose either a huge variety of custom wheels and/or adjust the size.

(Press Triangle after when the selected car is chosen, then you can put any or all of this and then continue. Note that some or all options for personalization not available on some cars. When in the Personalization menu, press Triangle to use a full view for the car.)
Then, after choosing the car and/or personalizing it, you have the option to choose the transmission, either Automatic or Manual.
After choosing a car or creating a custom car, you are granted the ability to personalize your avatar. You will be given a selection of all manufacturer and car-exclusive suits, but all other helmets, racing suits and special outfits need to be purchased in order to use them here. If you have all helmets and racing suits with every color, you can choose any combination for the racing suit, helmet and vice-versa.

Lunar Roving Vehicle LRV-001 '71: Get at least all gold medals in all Lunar Exploration Events. The Moon however, can't be used in Arcade Mode as it is unrealistic and silly, and will probably be an issue due to the PS3's hardware limitations.
Circuito de la Sierra: Complete the first challenge of the Sierra Time Rally with at least a bronze medal. This will unlock the track for Arcade Mode.
*NOTE: All 25 15th Anniversary cars are immediately added to Arcade Mode to those who have the 15th Anniversary car packs installed. They can't be personalized, but can be quick-tuned.
