GRAN TURISMO 5

lol yes i have. i cycle thru the group 3 & 4 ones often in the daily races, it's part of the fun

i'm so grateful there's no voice chat in this game, polyphony digital are smart about that at least

some gran turismo youtubers make useful track guides for the current race series. others make entertaining recaps. and then others, god bless them, make videos only to expose shamefully! unsportsmanlike!! driving!!! thanks for your service, dads

extremely niche post: went up against someone with a homemade Starting Strength livery, complete with "HIP DRIVEN" read bumper. it was very badly done and i'm kicking myself for not grabbing the name before they left the lobby

much nicer than the guy with the homemade q*non shit on his car

woulda gone with GOMAD

Get On Myassinyourauditt All Day

i've been have a good time doing the nations cup and mfr series this winter. the appointed times on wed and sat and qualifier period, looking up the right pit strategies etc etc really add to the tension and drama. i didn't do them all tho; the formula cars @ mt. panorama was a panic attack waiting to happen. the up-tuned road cars on the endless drag course was zzzz

do i have more liveries? oh my GOD yes i do!
