A new batch of Time and Drift trial events are now live in Gran Turismo 5, featuring the following cars and tracks:

Looks like the TM time trial is a R390 fest; how the hell is that a 395hp road car?
NASCAR TT is BALLS! NASCAR = OVAL I dont want to struggle to throw a 300 tonne car around twisting corners
The NASCAR TT should be fair competitive. Cool!
jeez PD, my first lap on cold tires and i get gold for the Nascar, come on! i even messed up braking in turn 1.
Do they even try these events before they set the gold time? limit?
I wonder – and I KNOW that this has been brought up before – if the rally cars are hinting at Pikes Peak or Rally DLC.
I know, I know, the counter argument is that “this has happened before”. BUT – look at the timing – POSSIBLY, not FOR SURE, the next OCD update will be in 2 weeks on thursday, and this update or the next MIGHT be the last OCD update before the December DLC, due to PD being busy with the DLC being released properly, they may not update the OCD until after the DLC…
OR its just a coincidence and I’m being “DLC Conspiracy Theorist”…
I hope its a Rally pack, and if it is, I’m going to assume it will include snow, maybe even snowy weather for weather change tracks, being released in December (AKA Snow season…)
I bet you my left nut cars in the next DLC will be the Toyota FT-86II and the 2012 Nissan GT-R (mainly because those cars are already more or less in the game)
Aww rally cars :( . wanted some sweet sport cars and race cars. D:
yawn
I was about to do the seasonals… But then PSN was like NOOOO! WON’T LEEEEET YOU!
I wanted my 4 mil. credits… oh well, I’ll try ’em out tomorrow.
Tell me about it, I was in the mood then nope, slapped across the face for even being so foolish as to think I would be allowed haha
Not the best seasonal but as usually very welcome. Easy credits.
I want microcars in gt5, I want the bmw isseta and peel p 50
PSN is down, repeat we have a PSN down! just as I find out about the new seasonal event too… Timing is bang on!
Yup, not only can we not do any of the seasonal events, but today is also the PS3’s 5th “Birthday”. What perfect timing to perform a 14 hour scheduled maintenance, right?
i think thats a new nascar oval track.
No seasonal… meeh…
Anyone got a list of the OCD?
A link to the list is included in the post above.
Hey PD if you put a SPA seasonal you might sell more DLCs. Do not worry about the cry babies that will say it is unfair. What is unfair is not to have seasonal for the track that was PAID for!
wrong. No one should have the luxury of using it if they did not pay for it, unless someone who has paid for it uses it online.
Sick of people wanting things for free on the backs of others.
erik1127 did you even read what psycho tuber wrote ?. He’s talkin about having a seasonal event at spa for the people who bought the DLC. Also how can you just say Wrong he’s giving his view on the DLC, you may disagree with what he’s saying but it’s not wrong.
I may of taken it the wrong way, for that I apoligize. If it is possible for PD to make as seasonal just for people who bought the DLC than I agree.
@Psycho Tuber: I completely agree! As of yet, I’ve had no reason to go and buy any of the DLCs, cause they don’t give any kind of benefit to those who purchase them.
I got the subaru impreza rally car prototype from the ocd for 300,000 credits man
the best way too use a time trial is to do some rally course….. why PD not include rally why?
Cuz Rally sucks get it through your head.
Rally doesn’t suck. It takes more skill to drive and that could make it suck for you. Besides I don’t like Nascar but you don’t see me bashing on it.
If you don’t like it just don’t play it and shut the f**k up plz… Always this stupid whining over nothing…
Please PD, give us some rally and karting events!
•Trial Mountain Circuit Reverse – 345HP non-racecars with Comfort/Soft tires or less… I wonder what car everyone will use for this hmmmmmmm I know R390 GT1 Road car the same car that gets used every other week.
I’m glad to see nascar in there and untuned which is good.
They should have that for every new time trial, tuned and untuned ie people who want to drive the R390 GT1 Rd car and people who don’t. :p
I agree with 1 tune and 1 untune. But the nascar isnt a true no tune. Adjustment can still be made . They should just supply the car for an untune TT.
I used an M3 CSL, slippy slippy!!
Awesome photo.
bored with this.
I’m bored with you
Sweet, was just thinking the other day I wish there was something new to do with Nascar. I had alot of fun with the last time trial on Suzuka. Just in time before the Nascar season finale too, I wonder who will win? Smoke almost seems unstoppable with all of his momentum and wins in the chase but yet Carl remains consistent with good finishes. I like them both and will be happy with either result but I think I’d like to see Carl win his first championship a little bit more. I can’t wait!
watching Nascar on TV is really boring, there is never anything happening
but driving them in gt5 is fun, 868hp and lots of tyre spinning, whats not to love :)
The nascar event is limited to 850bhp so any with oil change done will need to use the limiter. Spa could be a special event that is only accessible if you have forked out for the track. It’s a good incentive to purchase as long as there are other seasonals for the paupers.
Yayy nascars
No they should NOT make a rally event because rally on GT sucks BIG TIME.
PS PD leave rally out of GT6 please.
I totally agree.
It only sucks for one reason: there’s not enough rally tracks in GT5!
Remember when rally tracks used to be GOOD in GT2-4?
Grand Canyon? Tahiti Maze? Chanomix GT4 version? Even PIKES PEAK?
All gone for no good reason!
So in GT6, rather than getting rid of it, they should IMPROVE it.
@emeraldpython
I couldn’t have said it any better. :) Improvements makes perfect, and that’ll be in GT6. ;)
Imo theres not any really good realistic rally games on PS3. Dirt series is by far the most fun, but not realistic. WRC 2 is more realistic. But the menus suck, u gotta press x multiple times just for it do anything. And the proportions on the some of cars are wrong. And finally the liveries are wrong on the older cars, for an official game thats just wrong. But GT5 isn’t strictly a rally game. It tries to cater for every kind of motorsport so i let it off a bit. Knowing the GT series tho i expect/hope there will be improvements in GT6. On a personal note i would kill for an MG Metro 6R4 in GT (wink wink, nudge nudge PD).
or Lancia 037
Rally needs to be part of Gran Turismo.
I wish that they would split the GT series into other sub series or add-on packs. Personally, I could care less about the rally and NASCAR aspects of the game so that is something that I plainly wouldn’t buy unless it was better represented. NASCAR in Gran Turismo needs to be have a pace car and cautions!
They should make a rally event.
Why does PD use the same tracks over and over? It is always either cape ring, Tskuba or trial mountain sigh…cmon PD be dynamic and throw some real world tracks like oh I don’t know Spa?
not going to happen. they can’t assume that everyone with access to the the seasonal event have purchased the track pack.
If not Spa then any other real world track besides cape and trial mountain for petes sake.
I can not see the pic on my phone. Damn
It’s got some cars in it if that helps?
i cant believe im the one that gets credit agine for notifying that the online stuff for GT5 has ben updated.
Lucky you =D
Wow…impressive. I wish that’d been me!! :/
this is the 3rd week in a row i wonder if there is a record of the most times in a row the same person got credit for notifying of the updates.
lol Call Guinness?
Cool by me! Always open to more content!
The picture makes the track almost not look like Daytona… In my opinion, its the best NASCAR picture I’ve seen!
(Good job ceiling fan!)
This will be the first time I’ve drifted on the Nurburgring… Also, any updates on what’s in the OCD update?
That’s a great drift course, some really cool turns. Me and some of my friends drift on there quite often.
I believe that is turn 1 at High Speed Ring?
All the cars in OCD are ralley cars
It isn’t Daytona it’s High Speed Ring.
