    Quite nice.

    I miss BTCC on TV. You've gotta love cars which have lights, signals, wipers, doors, etcetera, which are racing.

    I always enjoyed the first lap technique of drivers trying to fold or knock the mirrors off competitor's cars. That takes a delicate touch, if you plan on not being penalized.

    On the basis of this post alone, I have decided that the next time you're in SoCal, Mr. Smith, I'll be buying you a beer.

    Super keen and rad. More! More! More! I recommend muting the German Touring Car vid and sync the sound to Mouse on Mars - Kanu instead. Equally Germanic and much more tolerable. Can someone take care of that? Thanks.

    @mercury_marine: Yeah, the song is a bit much. Just got the translation of the chorus from a friend of mine, though: "Verdammnt lange her" means "damned long ago." Neat.

    Why isn't it out as soon as Forza? BECAUSE IT WILL BE THAT MUCH BETTER!

    Also, just long enough for the 'I just bought Forza' to no longer be a viable excuse not to buy GT5.

    Allow me to apologize to all those I told it was coming in december.

    They did confirm 950 cars and rollovers.

    I'm a huge MOTORSPORTS fan! I made a consumer choice to buy a PS3, because it is the superior machine. Gran Turismo is the best racing sim for my chosen console, so its my game. It's like your local sports team... they might suck right now, but hey.... they're your team. *Cough*Canucks*Cough*

    For the 360 having a 1 year headstart, GT has caught up to within 6 months, and will have more content. Context bitches, context!

    If you own either console, you are doing yourself a huge disservice if you ignore either title. With most of the consoles already in people's hands, are these games really in competition?

    One more thing... I've been playing GT 5 for over a year. It's called Prologue, and it's awesome! The graphics and physics are top notch, and its online. The sim racers at the official playstaion forums, with my brilliant guidance (HA!) have developed healthy league racing 3 nights a week, with some of theee fastest guys in the US, period. There have been 4 official Time Trial contests, and racing friends of mine have podiummed in and won all of them. We qualify, so everyone finds equal talent on the track. We're fair, but tough, and our racing is of a high caliber.

    We're not so different than you LeMons nuts (ok, we're not that crazy) We know you don't need a million cars and tracks (or dollars) to have a good time racing! We've made the best of Prologue, and I myself have organized our monthly endurance racing series. We've done 8hrs of Fuji, 12 Hours of High Speed Ring and The Daytona Road 500, just last week. A true 24 hr event was being planned for late November, as a welcome to what we thought would be a December release for the full game, but now we're focusing on mid length events to keep us occupied... you know, since we have some extra time to kill :(

    For some reason, I just noticed this

    ...in an effort to include every car in the world.

    Great. I can drive my POS Saturn in a video game. Isn't that just bleeding awesome.

    I heard that the delay is due to them not being able to render an accurate CG Chrysler interior - that is, they can't get the PS3 to make anything look that cheap without reverting to 16 bit framerates, at which point the fan spins backwards and it ignites in flames.
