GT5 Mercedes Benz Driving Event

Nice! Overly hopeful that it’s a track not already seen in GT5.

“the world famous track located in Europe”

Will this track remain available in the game, even after that event and will it be used in possible new in-game challenges ?

My GT5 disc is stuck in my old ps3 which has ylod’d, so rub it in why don’t you? lol.

@ Grizla75

If a Phat PS3, point a hairdryer into the rear vents for 15mins, allow to cool, switch on & eject.

If a Slim, use the manual eject screw. Details can be found here:http://tinyurl.com/3jps2mg

I think people are misunderstanding what was written. It wont be a new track. It’ll be an existing one, hence why they won’t reveal the location, so you can’t exclusively practise on that track.

It kinda sucks that you need to watch a tv for the real race and your screen for your virtual race. There should be a better way of bringing in a ghost car that represents the real car into the race.

@Danlisa

Wow, thanks very much for the suggestion, its an old phat, will give the hair dryer a whirl.
Getting my hopes up now, lol.

@grizla75 When the ps3 is off and plugged in, hold the eject button for a while and it’ll turn on the ps3 in a sort of safe-mode and eject the disc.

why GT5 is so popular? just asking

GT5 right

@nascent-

Cheers mate, will try this 1st then go to the hair dryer if needed.

@ Nascent

True, it will be an existing track. Just hope it’s not Green Hell considering the glitches allowing for fast times. Perhaps GP Nürburgring.

Also, your eject method won’t work on a 60GB model only 40/80gb.

I hope the SLS is a DLC car. The GT logo looks awesome on silver.

@ Grizla75

Use Nascents method as it will definately work, as it’s an “emergency eject” that SONY implemented for situations like yours & naturally stuck discs

when can we expect gt6?

The only European race tracks in GT5 right now are Monza and Nurburgring. Unless they add DLC which would be GREAT!

WOW This is Cool Stuff , good work

Thanks to all who gave suggestions re my stuck GT5 disc, can’t believe it worked, Danlisa’s hair dryer gambit did the trick. Yes!!!!! Back on GT5 after months of forced abstinence, lol.

If it’s not a new track,then it’s the Ring,GP,Le sarth,Monza.is there anywhere else in the game.
But roll on Spa

^ Did you take the chance to get a USB backup of your GT5 save file? The PS3 should continue to work for some time.

Umm, silly question.

What track is the Red SLS on? I initially thought it was Cape Ring but the camber is all wrong. Then I thought it was coming down the hill at Tokyo R246 but there’s too many trees.

Any ideas?

The eject trick only works on 40GB/80GB phats.

@ AaronSOLDIER

Nope, it worked on my 60gb PS3 when it stopped working a few years back!

It’s going to be either Monza or Nurburgring, Monaco is a temporary track, as is Le Mans (partially), so they would require a number of road closures to pull off (Monaco takes weeks to prepare for the F1). Using a combined Nurburgring layout would require closing the Nordschleife to private drivers for probably the whole day, which would be costly, but getting a 10 minute window for Coulthard to drive in clean air on the Nordschleife alone would be fairly easy (as would using the GP circuit). On the other hand Monza is preparing for the F1 in a week’s time, so that would be ready for a race too – they’d just have to disqualify for going off track in game!

Any news on the mid race save feature?

The next f1 race is monza sept 11 so I suspect this would be most likely as the destination. Coulthard and Brundle will have work commitments there week beginning 5 sept.

It’ll be one of the Nurburgring variants… Mercedes car + European track already existing in GT5… pretty good odds then.

Bring it on

It’s the Top Gear Track. It’s nearby the place where the GT5 drivers will be competing. After the race Coulthard will pop over and visit them. It’s already official that Coulthard has said on video that he is in the UK for the race.
That’s my view.

Jonathan Legard, who (although it is not mentioned above) is also commentating, has confirmed it is going to be the Top Gear Track on his twitter. I reply to a tweet about the event, Legard says:

“Should be good fun. Link up between Dunsfold and Brooklands. DC’s gaming rivals will be quick!”

Best get practising!

it will be either spa or monza
reason: f1 was just at spa and nxt race is monza both martin brundle and dc have to work for bbc so they r easy track choices

and when it says its a secret so ppl have fair chance it doesn’t necessarily mean the track is on gt5

i want saves for 24hr races not some cheap trick to keep us interested for more than 5 mins im not burning out my ps3 by leaving it on for 30+ hrs just to do a race tried for 6 1/2hrs but its not good for the ps3 and this is stopping me getting my platinum so is one of the challenges the european drive in the alfa sypder the first track is impossible without a gt force wheel and i aint spending 200 quid on a wheel just to do this challenge.

so please listen to the community when there asking for a save system for the endurance races because of the lack of this ive stopped playing this game now and its close to be traded in towards resistance 3………

Will this seasonal event only be available on PAL discs?

i hope the race is at spa please

when does the seasonal event itself go live? will that be at 3:20 or before?

I got a sneeky suspicion that its the TG Test Track !

Amazing! Thanks Sony
