    How do I do that?

    Will probably download this tonight and mess around with it. Still loving this game. Getting closer to getting the gold in all of the B-Spec events. Still need to work on acing some of the license tests... those can be pretty tough.

      You need to share your drivers for other people to race them in remote races. Just bring up the driver profile screen and select share with friends. Then go to remote race from the community screen, and you can probably figure it out from there. Drivers do get xp and credits for racing these.

      You have to deshare them to use them offline later.

          I don't know AI and that kind of thing well enough in racing games to really judge it myself (to the level of detail you're probably wanting, anyway), but I have been reading other people's impressions around the internet:

          A-Spec AI doesn't seem much different - there's a pretty good consensus on that.

          Mixed opinions on Arcade Mode AI being more challenging, with some saying that raising the new "AI Car Characteristics" setting to 10 results in a faster and more challenging race. I have seen them jostling for position a good deal more on that 10 setting, and not just straight up ramming into the back of each other.

          Here's something I can comment on - Love the ability to change the weather manually (on the weather changeable courses, that is) and practice driving in the rain. There's also a rain gauge that tells you how wet the track is, and fills up or empties depending on the current conditions. Pretty cool stuff.

          Load times seem improved. However, the last time I played this game was around when my second fat PS3 died, so I haven't played it a lot on my current Slim.

          I'm even less qualified to talk about the physics than I am the AI, but I've seen a lot of positive remarks coming from GTPlanet about that. I do have this though, which I just pulled off and earned a trophy for - was never able to do this before:

          <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gOhnFi_-ApM" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" width="480"></iframe>

          Visible damage looks about the same as the last big update (not much of it, as you can probably tell by that rollover), but the mechanical damage still works as well as before, and still affects the AI if I remember correctly. I remember seeing them have to pit after some particularly heavy impacts way back from the last patch.

          I'm glad that they added some kind of in car camera to every single car because I enjoy racing from that perspective, I just wish more could have been done than an all-black interior. It's worth pointing out that open-top standard cars actually do have an interior, though they're of course less detailed than the premiums.

          Looking forward to the DLC tracks tomorrow, that new Kart track looks fun.

              It's broken down into each different part, or you can buy the whole thing for $12.

              Also, correcting my previous post, it's out October 18, not tomorrow. Not sure where I got that from.

                TWO tracks? Boooooo.

                The new cars look pretty nice though.

                  I'm going to go ahead and make a bold prediction about the DLC.

                  The Prius Touring Car will be by far the most fun car to drive in the whole pack. The other cars look nice, but sometimes the cars that are just a tad bit slower, but they handle really well are the best. A tad bit slower is probably an understatement at best in this situation, but I still think it's going to be a ton of fun.

                    Here is the new cockpit view, not that great for some of the standards. Especially for ones where they are all black.

                      Yeah, they definitely went for function over form with the standard interiors. There was probably a loud outcry from people who only race in cockpit view just for the realistic perspective of being behind the wheel, so this is probably aimed at just them.

                      It really would have been crazy to try to model every standard interior + any cars you could import from GT PSP (also standard cars).

                          Thanks Cap. I am one of the few racing fans I know that isn't big on the cockpit/in-car cam...I love to see/admire the car I'm driving.

                          But those standard interiors on the roofed cars are complete joke...the all black area...really PD? Really?

                              No problem, this generic cockpit is a slap in the face imo..........just plain terrible.
