How do you even make a TV show about a racing sandbox? There is nothing attached to the property that has any recognizable aspect to exploit. You could argue the GT Vision cars, but... Again, those aren’t just for Gran Turismo. Those are concepts that are property of the respective manufacturers. Read more

even being a longtime fan of the series, being the reason why I bought Playstations in the past, I really don’t like the direction the series is taking and Yamauchi’s vision of the car culture that became too arrogant and elitist.

My fav f-zero song:
Yesss! The main menu goa/psy-trance music for Need for Speed II. Many hours were spent after a night of dancing and afterwards playing the game and listening to this music. That’s some major nostalgia kicking in. Sooo good.

Not technically a racing game, but..

Best one in the Gran Turismo series is “Moon Over the Castle (Orienta-Rhythm Banquet Mix)“ from GT3: A-Spec.
