I introduced my little nephews to the world of Gran Turismo today... the 7 year old worked the pedals while the 4 year old turned the wheel.
I'm sure a little more trying you will be able to beat me haha! We should all play online something soon. Jacky and I are just drifting around with our 86's in game.

At least the brz has an FI option now, since i don't think it did in GT5

Btw I think it's pretty cool how they display other people's racing lines so you can compare and it makes you wanna be just a little more competitive.
Ha! That was the one clean lap I've managed in the 20 mins I've spent on that course lol. How do you see other people's lines? With the ghost?

I actually use the wheel when I'm not too serious, like when I'm just doing the races or grinding. When I have to be serious, like in the license tests or time trials, I do better with a controller.

I'd be down for an online race or two, with sufficient heads up of course

None of the twins had FI back in GT5. But still, my cousin and I find it weird how the BRZ and 86 makes less hp than the FRS itself. Even w/ full upgrades excluding nitrous.

That's cuz the FRS is 'Merican! And correct hand drive!

I didn't do anything special to see them, I just started doing the seasonals and it displayed the lines of friends who have already done the event. Could be that if you did it first, there was no one to view. Go back and try it again!

Just saw that, I think nothing was showing up because no one esle had done it when I was doing it. Finally did the focus st one and saw your line, really cool feature!

I'm really liking the festival of speed for some reason. I felt sure i would get tired of it since its a short and simple simple course and you're doing the same one over and over. The cars they select are so varied that you actually have to adjust your driving quite a bit.

Come to think of it, I don't think I have you added.

I just played GT6 for the first time this past Sunday on an awesome setup. Not sure what kind of wheel, but it was set up in front of a big 60" tv screen so you felt like you were actually in the car. Set some good laps in that thing.

The go-karts are a lot of fun in that game, though a little tough to adjust to. Funny to take the karts on a full-sized track and take turns at 100 mph flat-out.

I love the new physics though, you can actually feel the body roll and when the tires are going to break traction. I'll have to pick up a copy for myself soon.

When I was in Chicago this past week I played GT5 and GT6 on my buddy's setup... hard to go home to my 32" TV after playing on a 60"

Haha, you just have to sit reeeeeeeeally close to the screen Same thing actually happened to me, tried to move my set-up to my office (with an old 32" tube style TV) because my wife doesn't want my monstrosity of a rig (g25 & TV dinner folding table) in the livingroom. I had to come crawling back (a wheelstand pro help alot too).
