such a tease with the one car and one track ye the way you can move the car when it starts going sideways etc is quite awesome ! not easy by any means

Thats the one thing I hope they done right above all else in this game, the sounds. the earlier gt's had the wooshing of the turbos but well ott. Hope theres some mulit cylinder warbling and howling going on, spool noise, chattering etc etc

just adds to the experience lol

It's on the PS3

I've just downloaded it and I'm quite impressed with how the car handles and how much easier it is to catch a slide compared to the earlier versions. I can't wait for the full version to be released.

They have majorly updated the sounds, Gran Turismo PSP has the updated sounds and they are SOOOO realistic, 2009 GTR sounds beautiful and the veron is probably the best sounding car on the game.

It's alright to be fair, I had not played the prolouge so was unsure what to expect, is the lack of car damage due to the fact that it's a time attack or is it not damageable in general.

My mate has just clocked 1'41.702, the guy who got 1'36.804 must be fucking pro.

It's shit.... Car feels like it's on ice, awful tyre noises and the sounds aren't that great either. Looks pretty though! Could only manage about 10 mins on it before I turned the PS3 off.

I think I'll stick to Forza 3.

lol- i think this may be a problem with the new GT, i use to think i was king on the old one- i think the reality when compared with die hard gamers might not be the same
i mean some of them have the full setups with custom chairs and wheels etc- no way will i be as fast with my gamepad!

Managed a 1.45.456 in the tuned car but with a little more practise i think i can get a late 1.43 or 1.44 that should put me in about 3500th place lol

I managed a 1.39 with the tuned, but i really dont think any faster is possible with a controller unless you have got nanometer control with your thumb, the throttle is either on or off.
