In preparation for the downloadable content to be released today for Gran Turismo 5, developer Polyphony has released the 2.03 title update, which adds new My Home Themes and colors to the game.
The patch was released ahead of the “Speed Test Track” DLC, which allows players to analyze the performance capabilities of their modded car, and the “Car Pack 3”, which adds several cars to the player’s stable, including the Lamborghini Aventador, as seen in the image below.
The complete change log for the 2.03 patch includes:
Improvements
* 12 new My Home theme colors and 12 new wallpapers for (GT Mode) have been added to the game. Please find these from the (My Home Settings)-(My Home Design) menu on the left side of the screen.
-
Tire wear speed prediction has been added to the pit stop decisions in B-Spec, to prevent tires from wearing out completely during long races.
-
Regenerative braking (which recovers energy by converting kinetic energy into electricity) in electric cars have been made stronger to extend driving distance.
-
Electric cars will now also creep forward (as in standard automatic cars) when the brake is released without pressing the accelerator.
-
Regarding the Chaparral 2J race car’s performance points, the increased performance factor due to the downforce produced by the fan is now calculated.
Correction of Known Issues
* A issue has been corrected where the car would pit in unintentionally during the last lap of a B spec race
