Sony Releases New Patch for Gran Turismo 5

New Gran Turismo 5 patch allows players to adjust mechanical damage.

The latest patch to the newest Gran Turismo game is allowing players to decide how much damage will be done to their cars during races. Patch version 1.03 weighs in at 149 MB.

Players who select "heavy" will see a lot of damage to their cars, which can only be repaired after they make a pit stop. Selecting "light" means there will be less damage, and it will automatically repair itself after a short period of time. "None" speaks for itself.

No actual information about the patch has been released, so it's not yet clear what else has been added or changed.

Gran Turismo 5 was released on November 24, 2010 in North America and Europe and November 25 in Japan and Australia. Gran Turismo 5 is available exclusively for the PlayStation 3.
