Yeah, im on gt5 at every given chance. Username is RooflessOne.

I managed in top 100 for the GT Academy, just wasnt quick enough to make the cut though.

Anyone else on GT5?

Not that I've got much time for it, I'm still involved at iRacing.

By far the best sim out there.

Pc iracing if you can afford a decent gaming pc and the monthly subscription. If you just want a console is say ps3's gran turismo & dirt3 beat xbox's forza.
The wheel & pedal options are much better for ps3 also.

You don't need a high end pc for iracing. My PC is getting really old, I've had it for years. Q6600, 2GB Corsair ram and had to buy a new graphics card last month. An Asus 6770 which was £50 and I can run at high settings.

Most people have a pc of that level anyways and if they don't can easily upgrade their pc for less than a PS3.

iRacing is half price subscription and yes it does cost more money but hardly a fortune if you consider it a hobby.

Again you bought a BMW for more money than a Fiat for a reason.

Fair point.
I can't run iracing on my home pc because it's a mac and as far as I know its not compatible, I have tried it in the past though and it's very good.
