Polyphony Digital has just announced a collection of new Seasonal Events will be coming to Gran Turismo 6 in the next game update, running throughout the remainder of the holiday season until New Year’s Day. As noted in the blog post, up to 10 million credits will be up for grabs, so now would be a good time to start maxing-out your daily login bonus.
The first featured event is a “weather-change survival race” with Super GT cars. It’s claimed to be very challenging, though Skid Recovery Force will be permanently enabled.
The most significant change will be coming to the new Drift Trials, the first of which which re-creates Fuji Speedway’s scoring section used in the D1GP event held there earlier this year. Like the actual event, the Drift Trial will begin from a standing start, and cars will be limited to D1GP or Formula Drift alumni. Another standing-start drift competition will be held at Silverstone for normal cars.
A batch of new time trial sector-based events with other AI-driven cars on track will also be released. Matterhorn and Grand Valley will be featured in the first set, with the Nurburgring and Mount Panorama circuit featured in the second.
Although the post stops short of mentioning when, exactly, this new update will launch, the online service maintenance announcement published early yesterday probably offers some clues. Stay tuned for more info!

hey guys whats the name of the mustang boss 302 on the photos of this post? any ideas?
i mean of the colour *
Scratch that GTbullogna… success came by way of Bentley. Tuned to 400+hp, 1000kg and 600pp the Speed 8 delivered sub 2min times with IW tires. As always, never trust pit crew suggestions… they’re as numb minded as the slowest AI!
I don’t know if I’ll be quicker with SRF off at the lastest Nurburg 600. The winning AI had lap times of 2:00 with IW and RS tires. I was no where near these times in the AWD R35 TC. I’ll try tuning the YellowHat R35 GT500 to 600pp next. It’s 100kg lighter than the touring car but with rear wheel drive, I’m not so confident.
It’s claimed to be very challenging, though Skid Recovery Force will be permanently enabled.
That is an oxymoron and it’s NOT funny at all!
Anything with forced on SRF is unplayable and unenjoyable nor challenging in the right way.
The only challenge is not to be mad about half automatic handling with forced on SRF.
WHYYY PD…its completely idiotic choice. Why not give us the OPTION to turn it on?! Its super easy to do so.
It’s like being trolled by PD…lol. I imagine all the staff emails memes around the office mocking GT fans with captions like, “Expected something challenging, got SRF forced on instead”, under a picture of a kid dropping his ice cream cone into a toilet.
The only thing PD will achieve by trolling is losing most of their customer base and that starts with me.. I would normally have already bought a PS4 at least a year ago by now and waited for the next GT to arrive.. but, i just don’t think that GT7 will be what I’m looking for anymore.
PS4 + Project Cars = win. A decent GT7 somewhere down the road is just an added bonus.
Great but, WHEN will they sort that horrid tyre sound and handling out on hard Racing tyres.. there is no way that real tyres behave in that demented manner! Just plain awful.
We are punished starting the race some 30 seconds behind, namely Nurburgring GP. I wonder why things are like this.
Sounds pretty good, other than the SRF thing. I don’t really drift (I’m so bad at it), but I do hope that we could get a permanent version of Fuji that uses the D1 scoring sectors. It just seems like a cool idea to me.
1.15 is a go! It only features the chaparral but
And the infiniti*
At 589MB there must be more than two cars and a few tweaks.
Yeah, full HD video.
I forgot about that essential content cluttering my hard drive.
Please stop forcing us to use skid recovery force – it really ruins every bid of fun in the events for me!
Is this the first time we’re getting a survival-type race? I’ve never heard of this before.
Drifting with SRF on is a joke. Plain and simple.
Agreed, which is why it only seems to apply to the weather-change A-spec race…
but ammm…the SRF is only for survival race with the super gt cars, I didn’t see any mention of it for drifting. Of course, I stand to be corrected.
Love this. Finally some engaging seasonals with pitstops, rain and different class cars. I’m not a fan of SRF but I imagine it’s mostly for the benefit of the AI. I normally skip the drifts, but this at least seems more proper with clipping point markers on the corners. The drifters have been asking for this for ages. PD listening? Who’d have thought it? :-) Oh, and the blog mentions a “rain deer” lol.
You know, I never thought about it that way. Maybe the AI does need the SRF? If it does, then I still wouldn’t mind giving them the handicap if I can have the option to just drive against them without aid.
Why not just program the AI with SRF on and let the player choose to use it or not?
SRF for the AI makes sense. I remember the last time I did the new Sierra Time Rally event with the Nismo GT-R, the AI, being much more aggressive, seemed to be really unpredictable in wet conditions. It was actually fun and challenging at the same time lol
SRF forced on, setting TC to 5 as default, not using the GT5 themes for Seasonals, etc…all things that seem logical to normal humans simply escape PD. One would think simple things like this are no brained, but they just don’t get it.
*brainers
PD, instead of forcing SRF on, why don’t you just make it a recommendation? Like some kind of pop-up in the menu screen before the race like in the Red Bull Time Trial.
Why not just let us decide? Friggin’ hate srf!
pretty sweet, looking forward these as I get my vacation
Sounds great, but I won’t be home for the next 2 weeks! :(
“Skid Recovery Force permanently enable”… Challenging?
“Cars that can enter the event are limited to those that have officially participated in the D1GP or Formula Drift championships.” That’s a quote from the Pit Stop. What cars are those?
Those would be:
AEM S2000
HKS GENKI HYPER SILVIA RS2 ’04
Mine’s BNR34 SKYLINE GT-R N1 base ’06
Mine’s BNR34 SKYLINE GT-R V･spec N1 base ’00
RE Amemiya FD3S RX-7
Forgot to mention:
Mazda BP FALKEN RX-7 ’03
Ah, thought they were talking about new ones.
To Racecar, if I recall correctly, AEM S2000 was from Sema not D1GP.
Also Mine’s Skyline? Or did you mean Ken Nomura’s Blitz 4-door Skyline?
This all sounds excellent to me. Can’t wait.
SRF forced on? That’s really ****ing stupid. I don’t need the game to hold my hand. There should be options to turn all aids off in all game modes.
I don’t know what do they mean by ” survival race”, but that skid recovery force kills my enthusiasm. I don’t see why we shouldn’t be able to turn it off. Please enlighten me if you got the answer
Not sure if this helps, but on Pit Stop, it says “Skid recovery force is ON, but even expert drivers might find it difficult if not used to driving in wet conditions. If you win on your first try it might be because the weather gods were on your side.”
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if it really turns out to be that challenging lol
Now we’re talking. A step in the right direction! Keep this ball rolling PD! What else you got?
That’s it. That’s the best they got. The rest of the year it will be 450pp at Tsukuba, 500pp at Autumn Ring, 600pp at Monza Seasonals…or to that effect.
Well we started with hot laps, then they added drift, then they added Aspec.
Now we can add ‘survival race’ and ‘overtake challenge’ to the mix.
Maybe :p
Seasonal A type races that are long enough to warrant a pit stop and tyre changes…☺ thats a move in the right direction. … i wish X-Mass came every two weeks and not just once a year
D1GP scoring! Great stuff
“Skid Recovery Force will be permanently enabled”?, “The Real Driving Simulator?”, Why?
+1
because they want to see competitive times, not people who are either stuck on worn intermediates/ wets but on the same token people being stuck on dry compound tyres, particularly if they have not bought them for that car, even though sports/ comfort tyres do the same job as wets
+++++1
+1
Can’t wait, sounds like a blast!
nice
