What happened to the Data Logger ? A Sony manager said they want to make it available to the end users.
Are they going to port it to Vita so that we can gather our real life driving stats ? 8^P
EDIT: I was hoping for the 2013 GTR. The 2012 one was bested by the 2013 GTR (0-60mph in 2.7 seconds).

What a super little update! Lots of additional changes including improved chase cam and the ability to turn off individual hud elements. Bloom back in, improved race FX are really nice! Still exploring! And apparently theres new replay camera angles @ The Ring and replay SFX are really nice, not tried the last 2 yet though.
"My testing shows how major sound improvement is done on proper coding of surround effects.
MR and RR sound finally comes from behind only while you can clearly dustinguish the sound-side of each tire while squeal.
Also, the cockpit sounds are much more closer to bumper sounds.
But forcing ABS off in Private longes is the best option so far :"
"Tyre wear in now insane.
After 7 laps my softs were totally burnt out..."
"Best stealth addition ever: standard GT-R pace car now has working blinking lights LOL!"
"The replay cameras for the Nurburgrong are new. They really show the elevation changes and bumpiness of the track."
"OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! On nurbrubring, that one long stretch before you get to the finish you can clearly hear the wind blow against the car....switch to bumper view, it gets louder and is more in your face!!! I'm pretty sure Before you couldn't hear anything here apart from car sounds. Also, the visuals seem more "clean" to me for lack of a better word! So glad I never traded in this game. haven't bought dlc but its been total worth every penny! Outstanding support pd, amazing job."

nice! nothing to do tomorrow... will play some gt5 again!
My initial thoughts:
Great little update! The sound has really been improved drastically! I never had any real issues previously but the difference here is pretty substantial. The definition is really crisp especially on a 5.1 system. You can really differentiate the sounds and pinpoint exactly which speaker is playing what sound. Tire skid sounds are reallly panned beautifully. Replays also benefit hugely from the improved sound tweeks. All the other GUI tweaks are again all very helpful in the bigger scheme of things. To be honest, i don't think theres THAT much left that they can apply a simple fix. Maybe a new GT related thread with peoples main GUI gripes could be good start, and who knows, the right eyes might one day stumble across! For me going forward in terms of additional content, i'd like more tracks (would still like some of the current courses spruced up to be near the quality of Spa), cars of course, but a nice big A-Spec update with all new events would be sweet, incorporating any DLC tracks also (might make a few peeps still on the fence flash their cash). But this time with a more balanced track selection as i think there were many tracks that were just too underused.

I hear there's a whole new selection of online events, and that the new online events can also win you cars now? If so, that's a good alternative to re-doing the 'offline' A-spec.
GT5 seems to have sold insane amount

Yeah I know what I am doing Friday night and this weekend. I have my game suspended right now at the Ring driving a Sauber C9...forgot what A spec championship this is. But anyway once I beat that championship I gotta grab that DLC. It is great they have some newish cars but we need more...and some higher end cars would be nice...let's see the Merc C63 AMG Black would be nice for start and also an SL Black would be nice. No more GTRs please as a technical masterpiece I am really getting bored of that car esp in GT5.
Yeah, I've been playing GT5 a few hours yesterday, look forward to getting the new DLC tonight as I like those two Volkswagens. Hope this is the start of a long trend - it looks like they're experimenting with different styles of DLC, size, prices, etc., or else perhaps these cars were pushed by the manufacturers themselves?
I did some time trials and such, and the driving now seems refined to the point that I don't know if I want more than this
. Though I haven't done any ABS less driving yesterday, which I'll try soon. I'm especially happy with the new car delivery by the way, that's a great help. I also like that now the online events can win you cars. I'm on my way to win one, even if it's probably just a small one, in the European hatchback online series. There's also a nice way they show that a car can be won (star) and you see stars for each event below the series label, and they are colored in for each race that you won, so you can easily see your progress.
A week or two ago, I also let my father drive practically the same car as we did on the real Nurburgring, and although we didn't have much time, he preferred to try to get a better second lap than having soup, which is a good sign.
