Wow those screenshots are wallpapers. They look so realistic. That damage physics engine must've been a bitch to make considering speed and angle. No wonder this game is taking forever. At least GT6 will come out faster.

why does anyone even care about release dates - after as much this game has been put off - it'll come out when it comes out...

Announcing the Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge
Posted by Stephanie Yoshimoto // Senior Product Marketing Manager
Hello, PlayStation Blog readers. Winter is fast approaching, but I’m excited to announce something that should fire you up and get you excited about what the new year holds: namely, Gran Turismo 5!
Starting December 17, PlayStation 3 users will be able to download the Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge from the PlayStation Store for a chance to win. Everyone who downloads it will get a chance to try out Gran Turismo 5’s brand-new physics engine by test driving the new Nissan 370Z on the road to winning an exciting grand prize package that would drive any GT fan wild.
Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge
The Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge features both a stock and a tuned version of the new Nissan 370Z, and includes two time trial events on a single track, one for each version of the car. Both cars drive and handle differently, each providing a unique challenge for newcomers to the GT series and long-time fans alike. And you’ll have to master both to have a chance at winning, because the grand prize will go to the player with the best combined time for both the stock and tuned Time Trial events.

What does being the best of the best earn you? The winner will receive round trip airfare and hotel accommodations for two (winner and guest) to attend the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, a.k.a. the Indy 500, on May 30, 2010. It doesn’t end there, because the winner and guest also get a VIP package which includes two (2) all-access passes for Carb Day – which includes the final Indy 500 practice, pit stop competition, special concert festivities, special event car rides in the 2010 Indy 500 event vehicle, as well as all-access passes to the garage, pit area, and Victory Lane for pre- and post-race celebrations for the race and two (2) VIP suite tickets to enjoy the race. This is the experience of a lifetime for true racing fans.
The contest is open to US and Canada residents, with an independent contest for each country. That means that there will actually be two grand prize winners: one for the US and one for Canada. And I’m sure there will be some friendly rivalry to see which country has the fastest racers, in true Gran Turismo spirit. You just have to be 18 years old or older to win because much of the cool VIP experience the winner will be treated to require the participants to be 18 for safety reasons.
In the event of a tie of combined Time Trial lap times, the player with the fastest stock non-tuned Time Trial lap will be deemed the winner. In addition, five runner-ups in the US and five in Canada will receive a voucher to download Gran Turismo for PSP.
You’ll have plenty of time to study Gran Turismo 5 and go for your best possible time, because the Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge will run through 5PM PST on January 25, 2010. After January 25 you won’t be able to download the game from PSN, but those who already have it will be able to continue to play it past the contest end date. Click here for official rules for the US.
So mark December 17 on your calendar for your chance to test your driving skills in the Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge. Don’t forget to look for more Gran Turismo 5 exciting news in the coming weeks and months on the newly re-designed official Gran Turismo website.

Big Block go VROOOM!
FWIW-

Bunch of framegrabs there too.
Please note that this new demo does not include most of Gran Turismo 5’s new features such as damage and other improvements. The only major improvement over Gran Turismo 5 Prologue are the physics which represent the quality that can be expected from the full version that is planned to be released in 2010.

the track is Indy road course!! that's great. even though I'm not really a big fan of it technically, it's still nice to see in GT. and, I guess it coincides well with their prize package. I'm just happy to see any new American track, from the Polyphony folks.

so uhh......... I just realized this is that same thing that dude won and got to race in reali life. too bad Americans don't get that chance, now that would be something to shoot for!! tickets to the Indy 500???? not so much. imo. even if they are VIP. it's too bad the F1 race is no more, VIP tickets to THAT would have been worth working for.

No, people in the US cannot enter for that, only the other specific US prizes.

If you’re from one of these countries, you will get to compete for a chance to race with Nissan via the GT Academy driver search program. If you’re in the United States or Canada, you win…two tickets to the Indianapolis 500.

played last night, it is TOUGH. the new physics model feels almost "too" realistic - but I am not complaining. looking forward to trying it with the seat and G25 tomorrow at friend's. I think it is too hard with controller - but we will see. Track is nice, very well done. I'm happy it was a free download!
I completed one "good" lap and saw my ranking was 2261

I have a video game embargo until I get back...will have to download it once I get back.
Or, maybe I'll be able to play a demo or two in the land of robots!

I used the wheel. It just sucks the clutch doesnt work. The physics model is pretty good. The stock Z LOVES to slide.
I think combined I ranked 387 (or somewhere in the 380s).

I did about 3 laps in each car and had a combined 800 something with a regular controller. The physics has really changed now. It's locked in professional handling mode. I'm going to assume that there will be other modes in GT5 that will make it handle more like the previous GT entries.
Can't wait!

Why don't they stop teasing everybody with these demos and prologues and just come out with the damn game? I'm a huge Forza fan, but I would love to play GT5 to compare both games.

because unlike Micosoft, they value good car modeling and gameplay and want to get it looking and playing the BEST they can. and, it takes time. a LOT of time.
I seen some Forza 3 screenies, can't tell what cars are in there because the models are so damn off. Horrible. Yeah, I'm nitpicking but damn, this is serious business.
