The latest Gran Turismo 5 update, version 2.03, weighs in at 225MB and is currently going live around the world. 2.03?s new features were leaked, but have now been officially confirmed by Polyphony Digital:
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 cars performance points, the increased performance factor due to the downforce produced by the fan is now calculated.
A issue has been corrected where the car would pit in unintentionally during the last lap of a B spec race.
