New DLC and game Update coming December 20th
Four new cars will come along a set of small features. Click for details.




- Users can now change wheels on Standard cars
- The settings sheets will include a new ‘copy’ feature
- In GT Auto, players will be able to see how the oil changes, aerodynamic parts, engine overhauls, and racing modifications will affect performance points and engine power, before and after their application
- Free coupons have been added that allow you to wash cars, change oil, overhaul your engine, or refresh the car body in GT Auto (10 coupons will be distributed for free to each of those who have downloaded the 2.02 update)
- Pressing the Square button in the car coupon selection screen of the Car Delivery will now allow you to exchange all car coupons at once, rather than doing one at a time
- In screens where the [Garage] and [Driver List] buttons are displayed in the A/B Spec events, Special Events, and Seasonal Events, pressing the Square button will now show the [Garage], and pressing the Triangle button will bring up the drivers list
- In My Lounge, the room settings will feature a new ‘Max. number of participants’ setting
- In the event selection screen of seasonal events, there are now ☆(star) marks that show the number of Gold Trophies attained in each event
- Improved racing sound effects
- Elements of the steering assist controls (used when using certain controllers on Racing Karts) have been tweaked
But according to PlayStation's official blog, there's more:
As an additional gift to players this holiday season, everyone who downloads the 2.02 update will also receive the stunning Toyota FT-86 2012 to add to their in-game collection.
One more note: Those who purchased the course and/or vehicle DLC that was released in October will be able to download Family Upgrade unlocks for free from the store. This means that if you bought the Racing Car Pack, Course Pack, or the ‘Complete Pack’ that contained both of these, by downloading the free Family Upgrade items, the content will now be accessible to more than just the user account that purchased the content. Family members or friends using the same PS3 can all use the courses and cars. Note that the upgrade doesn’t apply to the Racing Gear Pack or Special Paint Pack, and starting next week, new purchases will not have the restriction in place.
New cars will be added to the mygranturismo.net database.
[UPDATE] As a special gift anyone who purchased anything from the first batch of DLC will get unlock the Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 SP and five New Car Refresh cards in the game for free. The refresh cards will take any car back to being ‘as good as new’ while maintaining any modifications or paint jobs you have given your motors. To take advantage of this offer, you’ll need to install the new downloadable update hitting next week.
You are right. But with "realistic" I wanted to say, that they should put the wheel according to the country it comes from (just talk about ingame - not "real world"). I don't care that much, if a Jaguar or Mini got the wheel on the right side ingame, cause it comes from britain. But cars from countrys, that use right-lane-traffic should just have the wheels on the left side. And about your "Let the player choose the side option", well that's indeed just a dream option :) ... but it would be awsome as hell :D.
Actually I can't realy agree with your comment. I always loved GT because of the details, and the relistic cars. And for me, Realistic means, that the car "represents" the country it comes from, which also includes the place of steering wheel. And for me, the place of the steering wheel ingame is realy important, because sometimes I like to drive like in real live (Normal speed, the right line ...). And I can't realy do that, if a german car got its wheel on the good damn wrong side (sry but I just have to write that in a somehow angry way). Hopefully they not gonna make that mistake again, otherwise they can sell there DLC's to someone else, but not me anymore !
Should I buy an Xbox 360 just so I can play Forza 4?
I can't actually understand that VW gave theme the license to create those cars and then they build them like that. And the most idiotic thing is, that the Mini (if you can believe those pictures), which is actually a british car got the steering wheel on the left site (the german, french or whatever site). How stupid is that ? Gran Turismo starts to disapoint me more and more ...
Hopefully they'll also make the 2007 Audi RS4 Avant soon. Of course also with the steeringwheel on the left side.
Some interesting changes in the update though.
