December 3, 2009 - Starting December 17, fans will be able to download a new demo of Gran Turismo 5 through PlayStation Network. The Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge features the Nissan 370Z, both tuned and non-tuned, as well as a one track.

"It will be the first opportunity to get a hands-on taster as to what Yamauchi-san and his Polyphony team have been carefully crafting and polishing at their Tokyo base," Sony says.



"This is a downloadable time trial featuring new content from GT5 not GT5 Prologue."

U.S. players who download the demo between December 17, 2009 and January 25, 2010 are eligible for the time trial challenge, with the winner for the fastest lap time taking home a trip to the upcoming Indianapolis 500 this May.

Yeah,. All us PS3 owners will be nit picking this one, I'm sure. Time to see how real it is!

I'm excited about this especially the modified z.

Smashing news, thanks for sharing Matt!

wonder if the damage engine will be in place for the demo..it was present at some of the game shows in playable form

you know you guys should have like a top 25 ranking for time trials 17th -24th and give the top 3 a prize or something

First mod I'll be doing is an oil cooler. :D

Wow ... that inside shot looks money... Thats about the only view I use

yea me too, i cant play racing games worth a **** in 3rd person view

Same, I used to think that I can never play driving games in 1st person view and now I can't imagine playing it without it.

after reading some early reviews of this "demo" im not as excited as i was

bad

no damge
graphics look almost exactly like prologue
at 220 mb....not really a demo just a glorifed version of Gran Turismo HD we got like 2 years ago
seems the game wont be out until Summer 2010 ( i will be importing in march from japan)


good

demo does include the new physics engine
new track

Jesus, PS4 will be the in the talks by the time GT5 even releases an official date.

Ha ha ha - i will not be suprised - but i will gladly wait as it will be well worth it :)... only question is... how do i convince the wife to let me get a fanatec club sport setup?

demo is out if you have a japanese account like me.. or you can wait a few more hours

It's Thursday! What's the holdup?!?!?!?! :D

FWIW, Need for Speed: Shift also has a 370Z available. It's not that spectacular, but supports the PC platform for those using it. Online play tends to come down to a just a few cars in each bracket, and the 370Z is not popular. The GTR, however, is the most popular car in it's bracket. It's a great car in the game.

played it for 3 hours and im crossed eyed and might be bleeding from the nose


with logitech GT wheel cockpit view best i can get was 1'40.747

the new gran turismo physics are so unforgiving not to mention the time trial is in professional mode with stability off only... one little mess up and you spin


seriously i dont think i can improve on 1'40.747.. would love to get a 1'39.999 though

the guys getting 1'36 gotta be playing it with the controller

trimmed it to 1'40.669 for the Tuned Z... the stock Z isnt as fun because of the tires and how gentle you have to be, its about 10 secs slower a lap

havent tried it with the controller yet

Ha ha You know - I figured it would be out in JP so i made one yesterday lol and dl'd it... pretty good but still prologue... they have work to do but its still amazing :)

Still not available for d/l... WTF?

6est is what i head when the d/l will be released

really? W/ my G25 me and my buddies got a 1:38 after a couple tries... I would think we could hit 1:37s today / tomorrow

just ran 1'39.898 and was driving my absolute *** off like i phsyically cant do any better. is there some type of trick to it like cutting a corner short or something .. im following the race line

hahaha ... well the easy way is to watch / dl the ghost of the number one guy and follow what he does... GTP_something or other... Anyhow - here are some tips: first corner right before the time starts is super important - take it at around 70... you should pass the start line at 154mph at the very least... take a lot of those tricky "cant full throttle" turns in a higher gear but go ahead and get on it early... other than that - practice and practice :)...

Just got a playseat evolution to go w/ it...ill take pics and maybe a video or two of my times...

DAMN that is pretty fast, thats probably ranked top 500 atleast? I played the demo for about 1 hour at my friend's house (i dont have ps3) and best I could do with the dual shock was 1:39.5~ I think I may need to bring my wheel for any more time shaving.

Holy crap its Mike's 370. Lol.
