GT5

I was bored of it within a week, barely got anywhere with it. The driving is so steralised that I just can't enjoy it and even a game like Race Driver Grid held my attention for longer.

My brother has GT5 and I occationally play with him. If were playing with a pad instead of wheel/pedals combo, only cars I'm even remotely close to him is his tuned WRC Focus in "my" tarmac settings.
First time I began fiddling with some suspension settings I went under his best time in the short Eigher something track. :)

It seems all the years of testing in Live for Speed wasn't a complete waste. :D

After many hectic weeks I have finally had some time and been able to play a bit again. Just managed to get to level 30 and the SV challenge :) Can't handle the speed of the Red Bull Prototype though :(

Still enjoying the game :up:

I'm not bored of GT5 yet but I'm really just pounding out laps on the nurburgring, all the versions of it. That's what keeps me coming back, I even have a spreadsheet on my computer of all the laps on the standard version of the track as a time-trial, what car, what tyres, which mods etc.

I love The Ring :up:

I just wish that Spa had been added to the list of tracks...

I've actually picked this up in the last week or so and it's starting to grow on me, largely because I use the 'practice' bit and do a one make race. Did a 3 lap race of the Nurburgring (change weather/change time) in F430 Scuderias and it was mad, needed real concentration in the wet. One thing that annoys me though is the rally section. I've just done the Loeb challenge and it's nothing like rallying, you have to drive really neatly, like you're on asphalt, or you suffer from the worst turbo lag in the world. I chucked it into a hairpin with a tweak of the handbrake and the car just sat still even though I had it floored. The same happens whenever you go slightly sideways, the throttle just cuts until the car is in a perfect straight line.

The problem I've got w/these GT games is a guy has to slog away for centuries to unlock a lot of the "good" stuff. IMO it would be much better if right out of the gate you got 85% of the cars and tracks and then you could have at it. Yeah, sure it's nice to have the challenge & reward of winning & getting new stuff. But still, I have a life...: )

A GT5 tournament took place a couple of days ago, at a shopping mall In Athens,
dedicated to Acropolis Rally Of Greece 2011!

Here's the event's poster:

I agree 100% with you here. The GT series has always been poor with their rally sections of the game. You are not the only one irritated by the stupid turbo lag in the Loeb challenge. Peed me off so bad that I refuse to try it anymore. The rest of the game though is pretty good :up:

Bit of info if anyone can help.

Which race series lets you win the Gran Turismo Open Wheel Formula car as a prize car? I have enough money to buy one, but it refuses to come up for sale in the used car dealerships section. When it did come up a while ago, I didn't have the cash to buy it and had to watch it dissapear :(
