The new GT5 downloadable content that leaked a few days ago was confirmed earlier today by the North American and European PlayStation Blogs, who provided a few more details and pricing information.

As expected, “Car Pack 3″ will include the following vehicles and will be available in the PlayStation Store for $5.99 (USD) / €5.99 / £4.79.

Nissan Leaf G 2011
Aston Martin V12 Vantage 2010
Volkswagen [Beetle] 1200 1966
Jaguar XJR-9 LM Racecar 1988
Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 2011
Mini Mini Cooper S Countryman (R60) 2011
The “Speed Test Course Pack” will also become available at that time for $3.99 (USD) / €3.99 / £3.19, which includes the Route X test course and an apparent new “Speed Test” mode that allows you to exactly measure “things like your mile, quarter-mile, acceleration, and g-force”.

The blogs also confirm you’ll be able to use Route X online, though it’s still not clear if this will enable formal online drag races as desired by many fans.

Polyphony Digital has also posted an online maintenance notice for 03:00 GMT on January 17th, so expect the 2.03 update to go live shortly thereafter.

As for the DLC’s availability, the North American PlayStation Blog confirms it will be available next Tuesday, January 17. However, the European blog re-iterates the original release date of Wednesday, January 18. As always, stay tuned to GTPlanet and our forums for specific, local availability information.

I'm looking forward to:
-Aston Martin V12 Vantage 2010
-Jaguar XJR-9 LM Racecar 1988
-Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 2011


I heard Jay B is looking forward to the Countryman ... hehe

Sad that there wasn't any new "Race Mod" cars and/or "Touring Cars" in this pack.

The new track looks interesting.

Start lobbying for AMP!?!?

Post subject: 

Funny you should mention AMP....

I wonder if Iracing would have a cost to have a race track...2nd best in Canada...Scanned and entered for racing ?

Maybe we could push to get a group together to get some fund raising together to make this a reality...?

This would need be a private endeavor....specifically for Sim racing.

Just putting it out there....

We have smaller regional tracks calling us every week to do their tracks.

Typically getting a scan done is not the problem in getting a track done. Probably the most important thing we need is simply the time to build all the tracks our members want. It also does not make sense for us at this point to build tracks that only a small percentage of people are interested in. I think we come out with tracks at probably just about the right rate. They are very expensive to build in both money and time, and there are thousands and thousands of tracks in the world, so something has to give. We can’t build everyone’s “home” track.

Just a heads up, the latest update for GT5 is out, it's only 225MB so it won't take long to download.

Just downloaded the 2.03 update... only took about 5mins.

The DLC has not been uploaded to the Canadian Playstation store yet.

Purchased both for $9.98
The test track is neat for figuring out what LSD settings and such give you the better 1/4 mile times (IE the better launch).

I wasn't lying :lol: first car I've done up from the DLC was the Beetle, that thing kicks ass!! I now have a 213hp sub 1000kg bug!! To bad they didn't have a stinger pipe!!!

Some nerdelishes numbers:

- The Nissan Leaf's battery is only good for 2.5 laps around Nurburgring, after that it just coasts at 80 km/h and the horn still works. I did a 9:30 lap time.
- The Red Bull X2011 pulled 3.95g during acceleration.
- I set up a race with the Red Bull X2011 one spec at the test track, I managed 602 km/h while drafting the other cars.


This update is not that bad, and the Jaguar looks really good from the inside. The Lamborghini is a great car too.

And when the Beetle is fully built, it will roll over when the tires grip in a turn over 35-40mph. Seriously, Autumn Ring Mini, car rolls over on the straight if you touch the wheel. Pissed me off, I was looking forward to that car.
