Simplified interior views added to all standard cars. WHAT'S THE POINT ITS STILL UGLY LAST GEN MODELLING AND STILL CANT BE USED IN PHOTOMODE.
User control of the weather change feature. NICE BUT WILL IT BE ON ALL TRACKS NOW AND WILL WE HAVE REFLECTIONS ON TRACK.
Settings sheet which allows you to save multiple car settings. ABOUT TIME SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME TO BEGIN WITH.
New Spec 2.0 opening movie. WHY WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS.
Improved UI response and usability. LETS HOPE IT DOESN'T ADD MORE BUGS.
Replay forward/rewind. YET AGAIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME TO BEGIN WITH.
Mid-race save feature for endurance races. FINALLY I CAN COMPLETE ALL THE RACES WITHOUT RISKING THE LIFE OF MY PS3 AND HAVING TO PAY SO MUCH IN ELECTRICITY BILLS.
Expanded online lounge features (narrowing down car types, shuffle races ). DOES THE ONLINE ACTUALLY WORK TO USE THIS.
Expanded Photo Travel features (you can now take photos of cars together with your avatar).ANOTHER POINTLESS ADDITION.
Added NASCAR Pit Scene stage to Photo Travel. WHO CARES.
Added 11 new 2011 NASCAR models. YET AGAIN WHO GIVES A MONKEYS.
Added the Nissan GT-R N24 Schulze Motorsport (the car in which Kazunori contested the 2011 Nurburgring 24 Hours). OH LOOK ANOTHER JAPANESE CAR, STILL NO PREMIUM XJ220 OR VEYRON THOUGH.
Improved physics and artificial intelligence. ABOUT TIME.
Support for the Logitech G25/G27 steering wheel. NICE EVEN THOUGH I DON'T USE A WHEEL (DUE TO LACK OF ROOM)
That's basically my thoughts, Some things that should have been in the game to start with and other things that nobody or very few people even care for. First rule of mass media, GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT, In my case that's a livery editor/creator 👎

Pretty excited for this, always welcome new features and updates.
Saw the pics of what looks like the Standard interior view, looks like the steering wheel is faded, i wish they would add the option of displaying/not displaying the interior view steering wheel. I hate seeing both my wheel and the games wheel.

Honestly the fact that their so called "racing game" still has no leaderboards, no type of qualifying whatsoever, and no custom races against whatever AI cars you want is ridiculous. Update will be great, but how about you actually make your racing game a racing game, PD.

Way I see it is many of these changes are huge. The mid-race save is something other games would have simply waited and charged $70 when they added it to a new release a year later.
GT5 isnt perfect, but we have had some major changes patched since the original retail release. GT5 is a grand game, and some people will never be happy, but as far as I see it, this is praise-worthy after sale support by PD. Something thats not common anymore.

Simplified interior views added to all standard cars.
- Awesome feature, but I don't really care much about cockpit views, nor needed them.
User control of the weather change feature.
- Didn't expect this to be included. Will be quite handy.
Settings sheet which allows you to save multiple car settings.
- This was an absolute needy feature!
New Spec 2.0 opening movie.
- Elated to have the opening movie changed into something else. But I must see it to believe it.
Improved UI response and usability.
- Not very much a requirement, but acceptable. The UI needed a bit of tweaks here and there.
Replay forward/rewind.
- Another absolute needy feature!
Mid-race save feature for endurance races.
- I'm not surprised this will be included.
Expanded online lounge features (narrowing down car types, shuffle races ).
- I don't do very much Online, but still, pretty awesome expanding a bit on that section.
Expanded Photo Travel features (you can now take photos of cars together with your avatar).
- I adore GT5's photomode, so this is considered an excellent addition to me.
Added NASCAR Pit Scene stage to Photo Travel.
- Meh. But still, you never know.
Added 11 new 2011 NASCAR models.
- I'm not a fan of NASCAR, but nonetheless, it was pretty nice adding that much of cars in one update.
Added the Nissan GT-R N24 Schulze Motorsport (the car in which Kazunori contested the 2011 Nurburgring 24 Hours).
- Pretty nice addition. I would enjoy Kaz's ride 'round the Nurburgring.
Improved physics and artificial intelligence.
- We'll just have to see about this. But kinda curious on what it will bring.
Support for the Logitech G25/G27 steering wheel.
- I don't have a wheel yet. But If I do manage a G25 or G27, then this will be an important addition.
Also, this is just an impression, meaning that I didn't tried each feature out yet. Anyways, this update wasn't disappointing to me to be honest. Had a couple in there that were basically mandatory to be implemented in the first place, like saving tuning settings.

I agree with shrunster but many of these should have been in the original game i mean forza 4 is coming very shortly and forza 5 will probably be out b4 we even hear much more about gran turismo 6, so we have to have some primo updates that cater to what gran turismo is all about, and more european and australian cars not just more nissans and the like. Otherwise the Gran Turismo brand will die with Forza being a bit more frequent with updates, and new versions i don't own a XBOX but if the GT brand continues on the same path i will be shifting to Forza and XBOX.

This is my position too, though I am very grateful for all the work the team is putting into this game for us.
Sure. I take it you missed the net melting a bit this morning.

Awesome! Got to use that!
User control of the weather change feature.
Even better!
Settings sheet which allows you to save multiple car settings.
What? I don't need that
New Spec 2.0 opening movie.
If it doesn't have a long intro like the Spec I opening, I'm happy
Improved UI response and usability.
You mean AI. Okay, can be cool.
Replay forward/rewind.
Allright then! Can be useful.
Mid-race save feature for endurance races.
Best new feature.
Expanded online lounge features (narrowing down car types, shuffle races ).
Thank you.
Expanded Photo Travel features (you can now take photos of cars together with your avatar).
Would be cool if photo's can finally be made with a D-Pad
Added NASCAR Pit Scene stage to Photo Travel.
Will use with the above function
Added 11 new 2011 NASCAR models.
Will use with the 2 fuctions above this one
Added the Nissan GT-R N24 Schulze Motorsport (the car in which Kazunori contested the 2011 Nurburgring 24 Hours).
Use this for Endurance racing.
Improved physics and artificial intelligence.
Isn't this the same as UI?
Support for the Logitech G25/G27 steering wheel.
I don't even care about this. (wast off spac)

"Kazunori Yamauchi has been sharing a boatload of new details via Twitter this morning on the previously announced Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2.0 Update coming later this month. Here’s an overview of what we can expect from 2.0, which will be made available to everyone for free:"
nooooooo.
Really?
It makes sense in a lot of ways, but really? This REALLY seems to be the case, but it might just be a miscommunication.

I thought it was much more.
Things I didn't expect (Some of these are not necessarily jaw-dropping, but a nice surprise overall):
- Simplified interior view for all standard cars. I thought we weren't going to see this till GT6.
- 11 new Nascar models. Whether I care or not, I didn't expect this at all. Perhaps there's more to the whole Nascar thing considering we have pit views and all that stuff for photo mode.
- Speaking of photo-mode, I didn't expect the whole driver/car thing photo thing. This may be useless in terms of functionality, but it does give more purpose to the racing gear, especially that there will be DLCs for it. Anything that gives more personalization, I'm up for it.
- New Bonus incentives for consistent log-ins.
- Last but not least, driving physics and imporved A.I.!! Not sure the extent of this, but this is something that's usually seen until the next series (GT6 in this case). This would mean, that the physics would have to be even topped further if there is to be a GT6 this gen.
__________________________________
Things I sort of expected (These are things that I know are confirmed by Kaz, or have seen in previous GT games:
- New RMs (Yay!)
- Improved online features
- Adjusting weather (we did this online so why not)
- Rewind/Fast-Forward - we could do this in GT4, so I was hopeful.
- In-game race saves - it's been confirmed by Kaz some time ago, so of course I expected this.
___________________________________
Now things that I expected, but don't see yet (These are things I thought are reasonable to implement, and had a good chance of appearing):
- More option to sort out garage (at least being able to sort the favorites least)
- Ability to remove HUD in chase-cam on replays
- Upgrade cars to premium (this was confirmed by Kaz as a possibility). Although not in Spec 2.0 update, we'll probably see it as DLC.
*edit
Oh yeah, I forgot.. leaderboards. This is a big, expected feature. I wonder what's up with it? Hope we get it eventually.
Anyway, yeah. All this, and the rest that aren't revealed yet, I'm pretty confident with my response that it was much more than I thought.

You can pretty much do #10. Just go to arcade mode, and set the number of laps to infinite.shurnster

Well, I got the 2 24hr A spec enduro to do, and the 9 hour. Oh, and the 4hr nurb enduro to do, So this has added at least another 61hrs gameplay to GT5 for me. WOW. The only thing that I feel would top it all off (personally) is an A spec event/championship creator with prizes based on length etc. I play GT5 mostly single player and every time a new seasonal or drift trial comes I wet myself lol.
I still have plenty to keep me going though (I am sitting at 0.030 secs away from the GTR nurburgring trophy.....gah).
Feel a tad sorry for people without an internet connection. The difference between the release GT5 and GT5 spec 2.0 seems tremendous. It would be cool if they could provide Spec 2.0 and all previous updates on a disc that those without internet could send off for.....or just knock on a neighbours door and bed them to use theirs to update. I only say this because I know a few people in this situation (they used my internet to update. I'm such a saint lol).
I'm so excited I'm really still taking it all in and my imagination is running wild about DLC too.

I hope that isn't the complete list. The way everyone was talking about it was like it was gonna be GT5 reborn..
Simplified interior views added to all standard cars.
Excellent addition for me, even if it simplified it's better than the impression that I'm driving a car sat on it's bonnet.....that is not realistic
User control of the weather change feature.
not something I care about really
Settings sheet which allows you to save multiple car settings.
should really have been in from the beginning, but nice to have now
New Spec 2.0 opening movie.
as long as it's better than the original and doesn't use Rap/teen rock ****e
Improved UI response and usability.
If this means speeding up GT Auto then THANK GOD!! and giving us the ability to skip the car delivery animation then another THANK GOD
Replay forward/rewind.
Excellent
Mid-race save feature for endurance races.
Excellent
Expanded online lounge features (narrowing down car types, shuffle races ).
I don't race online so can't comment, I'm not going to begrudge features others my enjoy (unlike some here)
Expanded Photo Travel features (you can now take photos of cars together with your avatar).
interesting.....bit of fluff tho
Added NASCAR Pit Scene stage to Photo Travel.
more fluff
Added 11 new 2011 NASCAR models.
REALLY? I'd have preferred some DTM premiums or GT1 premiums over MORE NASCARS
Added the Nissan GT-R N24 Schulze Motorsport (the car in which Kazunori contested the 2011 Nurburgring 24 Hours).
No opinion, bit narcissistic if you ask me
Improved physics and artificial intelligence.
If it allows FR cars to "squirm" off the line under power then excellent, If they stop the Ai backing off mid corner when being overtaken then Excellent...I'm hoping.
Support for the Logitech G25/G27 steering wheel.
I have a G25 and happy with it, I'm hoping it fixes my beef with pressing triangle for reversing with sequential shifting, but I'd like to see an improvement to the Rallying and the Red Bull X10 thing, FFB in those are ridiculous
I'm cautiously happy about what PD have said so far.
I'll be ecstatic if they add the following unannounced:
1) Practise and Qualifying in A spec races
2) Ability to set number of laps in A spec races
3) Ability to set tyre physics to "real" in A spec races
