A new update is now available to download for Gran Tursimo 5 which allows mechanical damage to be implemented.
The new patch (v1.03) is 150MB big and will allow cars to not only have cosmetic damage, but mechanical damage as well. Meaning you’ll suffer from steering, handling and other things if you wreck your car too much.
To add the damage all you have to do is go under “My Lounge” and look for “Mechanical Damage” to select what type of damage you want to see.
This includes “None” which sees no damage, “Light” which only has some mechanical damage that gets repaired over time and “Heavy” which has the most mechanical damage and is only repairable if you make a pit-stop.
Polyphony Digital did not say if anything else was added to the latest patch but said there will be more patches available in the near future.
