Gran Turismo 6 Update 1.03 Now Available

  A new update for Gran Turismo 6 has been released.  This update, 1.03, includes the all-new Toyota FT-1 Concept Coupe and a full interior for the BMW M4.   Also updated is the new seasonal events and probably the most useful feature, real time updates to the power points when modifying a vehicle.  I've found the lack of this to be especially annoying when trying to fine tune a vehicle.  One of the current seasonal events has a PP limit of 631 and would require a constant back and forth, up and down on the power level to get the PP just right.

Here's the latest from http://www.gran-turismo.com a guide to using the photo taking feature in the game.  I've used the photo taking briefly just to test it out but haven't fully explored it's capabilities yet.  It is a rainy weekend here in eastern North Carolina, so this might be the perfect opportunity.  Check out the full guide here.

PS3 Gran Turismo GT6: How to drift

Here's a handy guide to help with those drift challenges in GT6.  Once you get a few good drifts it's not too hard, but getting the feel of it can be challenging.  It definitely helps to have a steering wheel, pedals and a good chair to hook it all up too.

Gran Turismo 6 update

Gran Turismo 6 was released for the Playstation 3 on 6 December 2013.  Unfortunately, I pre-ordered it and had to wait a few more days after the release date for it to arrive.  Normally a few extra days of waiting wouldn't be bad, but I was really looking forward to this release and knew I would be away from home for most of Dec, further limiting the time I would have to play.
  I've been playing for a few weeks now and am still impressed with the game.  There were initial some grumblings about the lack of prize cars and limited about of money received from each race.  The money issue was solved with the most recent update (1.02).  Included in this update was the Red Bull X Challenge and the consecutive Login Bonus.  By just logging in online, you receive 110% credits on the first day and up to 200% for the fifth day.  I currently have 6,979,937 credits because of this 200% bonus on credits earned.  The biggest credits come from the Seasonal Events, but you only receive the credits once for each level (bronze, silver and gold).  So you receive no credits for the twenty times it takes to get your time down from silver to gold.
  I still have a ways to go and many more stars to collect but am making steady progress and looking forward to the next round of seasonally events.
