You can have it for free. Just pass the seasonal event once, even 3rd place will do.

I did the Sylvia & got gold in about 3 tries. Haven;t tried the 4wd drifting yet.
Silver in GT Academy 3, then went racing with asianspec.

yep. 2 events. Mazda MX5 racecar on the Top Gear track & I can't remember the other car on the 'Ring, GTR maybe.
I think you just have to post a time, don't even have to bronze to get it.

Yeah, the updates took forever, hope the Senna & Vision VW content don't take as long.

I bet the Senna update will take longer. It will probably be an entire new section dedicated to it, (like the Vettel events).

So everything I was reading was saying Senna & the Vision VW were 5/23, now Senna is 5/27
And I'm going out of town for work until Thursday so I won't get to see/try until then. :Sad:

Actually....Server maintenance is happening right now so we should have the Senna content tomorrow morning. Also, a Mitsubishi VGT spot has been added to the Vision GT section but it just pops you back to the main menu when you try to click on it. That's an added bonus! I am a little disappointed that it looks so much like the Volkswagen GTI VGT from the side, (as well as the Honda VGT preview picture). Hopefully PD doesn't just start releasing rehashed VGT cars every other week just to complete the series. Here's a video of the Mitsubishi VGT:


Edit: Lol. Just as I posted this, GTPlanet posted the info about the update:

http://www.gtplanet.net/gt6-update-1...vision-gt-car/

So, to summarize: Mitsubishi VGT, Senna Kart, F3 and F1 cars and old school layouts of Brands Hatch and Monza are all coming with this update. Should be a fun weekend!!!

Anybody start in on the Senna events yet? I downloaded the update last night but didn't get a chance to play. A lot of guys on GTPlanet are saying they're pretty difficult.

I did the Kart one last night. Not easy, but I managed a Bronze...but it was late and I was tired. I was happy enough with that last night.

I got Bronzes in all 4 Senna events, didn't win any prize cars. Gotta go back later on and try to win the 1983 F3 car at the very least.

I got silver on the kart and bronze on 2nd one.

I can't shave that 1 tens of a second to get gold on the kart.

Golded the Kart event pretty easily. Don't lift whatsoever on the second and third chicanes and hug the apex in the two big sweeping hairpins.

I'm a tenth off gold in the F3 event. Needed to take a break for a second because I'm starting to drive too aggressively and keep ending up off the track.

Have silver on all the Senna races now, except for the final one at Brands Hatch. The turbo lag in that Lotus is brutal and I just can't seem to get the timing down for the throttle on those turns.

Nice! I just golded the F3 event and got silver on my first completed lap of Monza with the Lotus. And yeah, the turbo lag is brutal. Just trying easing onto the gas a little more.
