Any Gran Turismo 5 Players Out There?

[pipster11]

played my first bit of online the other night

used the m3 gtr race car but the limit was 700hp and it was at 703 with the only removable mod the high rpm turbos

without those i was down to 550hp :-/

still managed to beat someone tho

[iamhe77]

^ That's a damn nice car... if only I didn't wast my money on the Saleen S7 and Speed 12... oh well.

[wytnte]

I was playing it the other night, was saving up some funds. haha when i come across a BEAUTIFUL SILVER 400R sitting there for sale, so of course couldnt resist it. 120000 gone just like that!

hahaha worth it though!! i also brought a midnight purple 33 gtr 97!! lol and i agree with with a earlier post about being able to change the wheels on non premium cars.

good gaming with Cam, James, Chris and someone else(cannot remember his name)

Was good to do online with some good clean drivers!

Cannot wait for the next one with some more people.......hopefully I can find some competition!

P.S. Need faster car!

Clean racing? First thing I did was throw my controller against the wall (useless internet) and managed to start the race by accident....

Then on the first corner I plowed into the back of Cam..

I will try a wired connection next time... don't know what was going on.

[Jetwreck]

Yeah, definitely need to get about 10 on at the same time.

Competition? I believe you only "won" 2 races last night mate

Hoping that Chris can get his internet connection sorted for the next go-around

Huh!.....Won 3 Le Man, London and that Ring one me think's there buddy.....2nd in one.......last the those shitty go cart thing(ffs what the hell!) and then last in the wet....by quite some distance from memory(Had time to have a piss while I was waiting for you guy's to come around again though!...but who's counting

Now the big question Cam......was it only one first I saw you get........one second and the rest were all last?

It does seem like you will be able to take your "L"'s off soon though!

Yep, only 1 first last night. Meh, waddya do?

and you only "won" 2. We handed you the third out of driver(s) error.

No need to tanti because you couldn't win (or get remotely close) in the karts (the only vehicles we were all on a level playing field in). A little more practice and I'm sure you will be able to control one

That last race was boring but frustratingly funny. 24km. 99% straight. Rain.... won't be playing that track again.

Next time, go-karts at De La Sarthe in the rain and dark lol (kidding, unless you want an exercise in frustration and boredom)

[GoldZilla]

Jeez, how hard is it to charge a battery before you play?

Nice to see your GT350 out there though

LOL, I haven't used the headphones for anything at all for ages, so I haven't needed to have them charged.

That 'Stang is a pretty nice car to drive, actually. Pretty surprising for an old American car, but then again it is a Shelby, so maybe the suspension tune was made better for race homologation or whatever. I haven't done any suspension mods to it yet.

just borrowed gt5 from a mate (dunno if hes gonna get it back yet)

if anyone wants to add me on psn "peanut101" is the name

just put your sau user name on the request so i know your not just another random

[Duncan]

I've learned 2 things today:

1/ dont lend anything to SatchiThaStagea

2/ You can get a trophy for rolling your race car.

Which in fact is funny, because I have one of those trophies in real life too!

[liger]

anyone here raced in the GT500/GT300 rooms at all? you can usually find me lurking around there. and the think i like about those rooms are the close racing. This is a example of a typical night in the GT500/300 room

[QWK32]

i've finished everything bar the endurance races. and looking at them, i don't really feel that inclined to do them. 24 hours around nurburgring isn't really that appealing. i like the seasonal events though, gives me something to keep going on.

[iamhe77]

Perhaps if they allowed a mid race save option when in the pits the endurance races would be more palatable... or if you could have your B-spec driver/s race in turn (without having sit and watch of course - sorta like in GT4).

[bigkevracer]

I don't play much online, but if anyone wants to add me, I'm on there as "bigkevracer".

Haven't seen any Stagea's in the used car market, unlike in GT4, but if anyone wants to sell me/gift me one, I'd appreciate it

My best car is probably my R35 Skyline, but I bought the collectors version, so I have all the Chromeline and Black versions.

[spoolin12]

What time roughly? I haven't played online yet

Usually about 9:00pm.

[WGNPWR]

id play, but thats drinking time......

[iamhe77]

Usually about 9:00pm.

Too bad you left that last race at a wet Le Mans Chris.

At the finish line, 1.2seconds separated the 1st Corvette (James), 2nd Corvette (Craig) and my lowly SS Commonwhore

Mind you, there was a little bit of corner cutting throughout.

Mine too ....I just combine two of the best things cars and drinking...no use even asking the wife for the third thing!
