Very cool. He even goes into detail of how accurate GT5 is and how small the differences are between the virtual car and the real car.
edit very cool as well.

Anyone else having problems resuming a suspended endurance race?
I'm trying to do the 4hr @ Tsukuba and so far 2 out of 3 suspensions have resulted in me having to abandon where I'm at and start the race over again. For some reason when I resume the AI driver comes into the pit lane too hot, shots over the little strip of grass and then proceeds to either repeatedly run into the pit lane wall (trying to get into the pit?) or it does laps until the tires/fuel are spent & every other car has unlapped itself.
I've even tried suspending in different spots to see if that helps, as soon as the option comes up on pit lane entry or when the car's actually stopped in the pit box, I thought waiting until the car had stopped was the key but the 2nd time I resumed that race it did it again ...

nm, I figured it out, you've gotta slow down to the pit lane speed before the AI takes over, it'll control it ok during the game but when you resume you'll be going to fast & run wide. I love PD & GT5 but these little inconsistencies drive me nuts.

Just wanted to say, thanks, Patsu, for the dlc info. Perhaps I'll get f4 now and gt5 in december. I'm really looking forward to having gt back in my life - i wouldnt say it is necessarily quantifiably better or worse, just different -- and different is great! Difft cars, difft music, difft upgrades, etc...
PD has Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Renault, Red Bull, Lotus and Toyota on board, they could get the F1 cars from them too IMO, not just Ferrari and release them as DLC as well as all the other missing F1 tracks. That would be great IMO.
The Ferrari F1 cars both handles great in GT5 engine, though I think F1 2011 has better physics modelling of the F1 cars, its not too bad in GT5. It would even better if PD improve the physics in DLC some more. And have more F1 seasonal events, well at least add more tracks to the current one. Just my wish list.
On another note, I did full installed of GT5 since I got it. After I updated to spec 2.0 it keep asking me if I want to do another 8 GB install. I haven't done it yet, but should I ? It's working fine as is, I am just afraid this is a bug and will screw up my game.

I dont think there was ever a clarification of what is installed exactly. For sure it should be the tracks and cars.
Yesterday I encountered an issue that is related to the game installation and the way files are organized and accessed.
I recently went to the console's factory settings and chose data recovery and then a data rebuild. When I chose yesterday the slipstream test in B-License, the test would get stack in a black screen with a GT logo appearing on the right lower corner while my HDD was showing signs that the game was trying to find the data to load the track. The HDD light was constantly lid. It wasnt a console crash because when I took the disk out it would automatically exit the game and go to the XMB.
IThe game probably couldnt find the right files to load because the database rebuild probably rearranged the files and the game didnt know where to look.
I tried multiple times to play the test and it wouldnt load until I uninstalled the data.
Also I would like to point that I installed the game recently after I have made progress instead of installing it the first time I booted it up. Not sure if that also played a role
The file management is probably problematic. When I installed the game it would take a few minutes (probably 5 minutes) until the cursor would appear in the main menu and I could navigate. Thats when I decided to make the console rebuild the database because installing the game after you made progress and already had installed files, something is messed up.
After the database rebuild it would work like a charm until the particular B License test would refuse to load

12GB, but still not a full install.
So I'm not sure what it installs, as I did one on my other PS3 only after a while (after I got tired of the game asking me if I wanted to, even if I thought load-times were fine without the full install). But I'm pretty sure I can hear the BluRay being accessed each time a car is loaded! So it almost seems as if the car data is still loaded from disc, and only track and menu data from the HDD! Perhaps the install is actually creating the icons for each of the cars and such dynamically, as that is what the new 'rebuild' option seems to suggest, as well as some of them currently missing in my car-lists in the game.
Is this resolved or still valid?
If it is, then they've ultimately lost a customer, because my main account is the US one on which I have spent a lot of time playing this game and reaching a certain level/money and since PSN has started blocking foreign credit cards, I can not buy the DLC over the US account. And if I have to play my local account with zero play time to play the DLC, well... thanks, but no thanks.

Same here

From Kaz' Twitter:
However I don't vouch for that this will work if you have accounts from different regions on your PS3. I think it will only work for the accounts in the same region.
Yours took only 5 minutes ? Mine took like half hour or so, well I left it and eat dinner. But I think the game install as you play, so I did mine from the get go, but yeah I just checked the footprint of GT5 its around 10+GB and still want me to install another 8 GB everytime I start it. I am just curious how did GT5 able to get past the 4-5GB limit Sony imposed on other dev.
Loading time is still long but much better in spec 2.0, if I don't changed track I loading time is pretty quick.
I think if you don't install, it will 'install on demand'. It may well be that they optimised some bits of that, so that you really only have to install what you haven't used up to this point. Or perhaps Spec 2.0 has some additional optimisations, who knows. Could be interesting to try out sometime, to see what it is like when you have a completely fresh install.
New tweets from Kaz.
"We will be doing an October GT5 update in North America and Europe, planned for Oct. 27th. This will consist of:
1. Kart Space I/II of the DLC will become drivable with cars other than Karts in the online lounge and free run of Practice
2. Expanded restriction options for cars in the online lounge
[Car Restrictions], [Performance Points], [Power], and [Car Model] regulations will be possible to set simultaneously.
3. Fix for issues in: Setting sheets, G25/27, resuming from pits in endurance races, TC car numbers and LSD settings, etc.

Yeah, the screen says 50 minutes, but it only took 5 minutes for me. There is also an option to check how much space GT5 installs. It reported 5.x Gb before and after my reinstall.
I want it to install more stuff on the HDD, but I can't find any other option short of deleting existing game data, and reinstalling I guess.
Patch 2.01 is out...
