*edit*

The rim width bug has been fixed with patch 1.03

You can also increase rim diameter without breaking the 'tuning prohibited' rule.

So patch 1.03 is released and in true Polyphony Digital QA style it requires poking with a stick to get it to work:

GT6 News

We have discovered an issue where some users may experience the following problem during the download of Update (1.03), released on 14 January.

Steps to reproduce:
1．
When Gran Turismo 6 is launched while connected to PSN, a message will appear on screen informing the users that "the latest update data for this software has been found (Version 1.03)".

2．
Once accepted (by pressing the X button while selecting [OK]), a “Please wait...” message will be displayed. After a few seconds, the PlayStation®3 system will emit 3 acoustic signals and restarts automatically.

3．
At this point, some users may receive a message stating that the system was not shut down correctly last time. The system will ask then to perform a system file check and then the reboot is completed.

4.
Users will be prompted again to download Update 1.03, whether they received the message in step 3 or not.

Procedure to avoid this issue:
To avoid this issue, please accept to download the Update by selecting [OK] within 2 seconds of its appearance on screen when prompted. This will update the game properly.

If you wait longer than 2 seconds, please decline the Update by pressing the Circle button when the message in step 1 is displayed, then select [Back] in the subsequent "Sign-In to PSN" screen. The game will start, quit the game using the PS button while in the [My Home] screen and follow the procedure described above.

Note:
In step 3 you may also receive a message “Report this problem to Sony Computer Entertainment?”. You can select either [Yes] or [No] to proceed.

We deeply apologise for the inconvenience this issue may have caused. [/quote]

Will be opening the lobby around 8:15pm.

I'm a Mirkz at this stage, might just tune in to watch if I'm not up for the full program/too drunk to race :)

Some of the driving standards would suggest a few drinks may have been had :)

Lobby up

Off to buy a headset this morning, can't believe how badly i drove last night, i am somewhat ashamed of myself!

Next time i won't go out to dinner beforehand and be just on the limit drink wise!
