All this GT chat is driving me mad! Unusually Amazon didn’t deliver today but out tonight so couldn’t play anyway. Seems to be lots of mixed reviews so far. Anyone been online yet? Also have they sorted the AI so cars don’t just follow the racing line regardless of who is on it? Brum brum rallly

I have put in 4 hours today and am really enjoying it. I am using the gt steering wheel and pedals which is good fun. I loved the karting bit but I do suspect that it would be hard to control from spinning if you are using the digital buttons. The good thing with the pedals is that you can modulate the throttle. However I just bought a TVR350 and tuned it and that is a devil to keep in a straight line. I should have kept the mx5.

Yep, same here. I've only got the pad though, no fancy wheel and pedals for me.

No they havent sorted that. The AI is poor, so to is the menu system.

the reason you cant find vauxhall in the dealers is because no vauxhall is a premium car, they are all found in the used dealership section.

Finally got a Speedster in Europa Blue. Then the next time I checked the second hand dealers there was a silver VX T. Perfect for me, just need to buy a silver hardtop for my real car. :D

Hate to be an Xbox fanboy...but that looks terrible :o . I literally thought that bottom picture was from some freeware PC driving game.

Forza FTW :lol:

Ye those pics do look a little nasty. Will look in second hand tonight for one. Surely it can't have been that much work to polish up a bit more.

projectors are indeed excellent, i am just about to upgrade mine. i have an old infocus X1, was brilliant for the time, but the new 1080i ones look stunning. optima seem to be good on price. Out of interest, who is using the game with a clutch/sterring wheel combo, as this is what i would like to do. i hear mixed things of the G27 steering wheel.
